beesharps Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 A friend, who reports for a sports network, went to the GM Meetings. They only had prototypes for the jerseys, and Reebok wasn't speaking about anything. My friend says that they were tighter than the current NHL uniform, but not as tight as the Nike ones.And as for my no laceups comment, let me make known my thoughts with a scorecard :No more laceups = +10Normal collar to be replaced by, no doubt, square collars = -20Messing with every other aspect of the classic hockey uniform = -524.

IceCap Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I agree that the lace-ups got out of control. Still, does that mean the entire leauge has to get rid of them. They work very well for the Rangers and Leafs for example.

Puckguy14 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 My question is this though, with the 3rd jerseys gone, will this mean the Rangers will modernize their look to incorporate the Liberty logo onto the jerseys or will Liberty get the boot? 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard no 3rd Jersey's. I hope so but I haven't heard that.As for the Rangers yes they would probably drop the Liberty logo. It has nothing to do with the team name had Mike Richter never put it on his mask there probably would have been no Liberty thirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon_Matrix Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm pretty sure third jerseys are toast after this season I think there will be thirds, but not for a couple of years, at least not until they actually can sell the new look to the public. Why have 3 jerseys to choose from if they cant ultimatly even 2 kinds each of them? Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Rangers 3rd jersey extremely popular?'Cause I remember that there was a home version of the "liberty" jersey.

boardname Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 As a die-hard Devils fan, I'm obligated to despise the Rangers (and I do).... but I can't help but admit I've always LOVED those Lady Liberty thirds.

Somehow RBK will change just about every aspect of the jersey. I'm half expecting a baseball style vest with a long sleeve shirt that is worn underneath it..... facespace?http://www.myspace.com/seancalcottmusic http://www.myspace.com/forgottentoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but I think the Rangers will try to keep as much as the traditional jerseys as possible. If there are no third jersey's then Liberty Jersey is toast.If Richter never had the Statue of Liberty on his helmet the Rangers probably wouldn't have had the idea for the Liberty alts.I personally don't like the Liberty logo and jersey. It has nothing to do with their name. The primary shield logo is much better and I wouldn't mind seeing that on an alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your Name Here Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Maybe so, but it has everything to do with New York. What's more significant of New York than the Statue of Liberty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wman Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Wonder whether the Flyers will ditch the black home jersey or the orange day-glo alternate if there are no thirds.I swear RBK is playing with fire.... Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I personally don't like the Liberty logo and jersey. It has nothing to do with their name. The primary shield logo is much better and I wouldn't mind seeing that on an alt. What does the shield have to do with the name? Are the New York Rangers names after soldiers, or government workers? Granted, the shield has been a part of the team for a long time, and it is as classical as any one of the Original Six logos, but it does it really say "New York" or "Rangers"?The Liberty Head logo is one of the best alternate logos in sports. It screams "New York" more than any other logo in the city does, even moreso than the skyline in the Mets logo. And it's not like the Yankees "NY" logo, taken from an obscure city logo (it's taken from a token or something, right?).If all the teams are getting rid of their current alternates, I will be very disappointed if the Rangers ditch the Liberty Head. It's the one Rangers article of clothing I own, and has probably been the only good selling piece of merchandise the team has had.

Much like i hate the Bruins alternate. Hockey relies on, maybe only second to football, tradition and ties to the past. Gary has systematicly cut almost all ties to hockey's past. This new Nike Swift movement is yet another attack on hockey tradition. Bettman needs to be stopped. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not like the Yankees "NY" logo, taken from an obscure city logo (it's taken from a token or something, right?). The Yankees' monogram was from a 19th century NY Fire Department medal. Created by Tiffany's. The Knicks' "NYK" logo was modeled after a subway token IIRC.As for the Rangers uniforms, I'll hate 'em no matter whose head is on the sweaters. But I always kinda liked the fact that they were the one team who didn't just slap their logo on their sweaters, that they strayed from the pack and had the diagonal lettering instead of a logo. "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
