Neon_Matrix Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 What I love is how neither quote mentions that the Leafs ARE getting a new logo/jersey which was confirmed in a Toronto Star article with quotes from MLSE. Well, more like a modification of the current silhoette but still a modification. If these jerseys are all unvailed on wednesday then DAYUM, it will be a good day. I can't wait to see them all, I wonder if the Sabres of Ducks will be modified at all... and I hope this modified Leafs jersey looks good... cuz if I'm spending $600 on one I'd hope not just to get the lap dances but to be able to parade it around and not feel self consious, lol.

"Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too?

westcoastoiler Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Aren't the Sabres cut of jersey slim? They sure look like it. I would expect the rest of the leagues jersey's to then fit like theirs. If that is the case then most teams are going to look sweet on the ice.I can't believe any of you guys don't have leaks yet. Wow I'm surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElwoodCuse Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 replica jerseys being downgraded like that.This is the real problem. Even if the new stuff is actually 100% awesome, I'm not buying a crap replica or paying several hundred bucks for an authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterform Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 The bias in Andy's article is hard not to notice. He, uh, just happens to work for the Blues organization. It's no wonder why he's towing the company line and mentioned "Not one player had a complaint".Total BS on the last part. He obviously got Reebok's talking points from their PR firm.I like the part in Strickland's blog that says "Fans should know that whatever changes made in terms of design and logo had to be approved by each individual club. For example John Davidson approved the new St. Louis Blues jersey."So Reebok essentially re-designed every team without much input from them. Wonder why I'm peed off about this. I don't believe the NHL should market my team like an x-line hat. Can't wait for my team (the Canucks) next ridiculous uniform incarnation. I'm so looking forward to seeing a cookie cutter jersey to go along with our corporate logo. Maybe they'll surprise and go retro a bit but I'm not expecting anything from such an ugly template.I eagerly await the car-crash DEATH TO REEBOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezus_Ghoti Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 It sucks knowing that some people on this board (i.e. PANTONE) have probably had images of these new jerseys for weeks, but they no longer leak them to the board.Regular schmucks like me will just have to wait for the official unveiling.

BBM Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I think it's funny how people were bitching about the new NBA basketball proclaiming things like "they would never change the equipment in hockey without conversing with the players first!" suggesting that the ball change (or at least lack of player input) was somehow racially motivated. Now just about the same thing is happening in hockey, and the players once again have no say in it.Bottom line: corporations run sports, it doesn't matter which sport it is or who plays it. So this jersey mess at least cleared that much up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyersHockey1967 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 According to The Hockey News: http://www.thehockeynews.com/en/news/Detai...sp?xml=h011619ANHL set to unveil new form-fitting uniforms after three years of work(CP) - The NHL is getting a new look and J.P. Dumont likes what he sees in the league's new uniforms.The Nashville Predators forward and his teammates tested them this season and Dumont feels the new form-fitting jerseys and socks from Reebok will be a hit. "It looks really good," Dumont said Tuesday from Nashville. "I was surprised because I was hearing that they would be more fitted and I was thinking they might be too tight. But they feel really comfortable."Reebok and the NHL will give a sneak peak to a small media contingent Wednesday in New York before the full-fledged media launch Monday in Dallas during the all-star festivities.What exactly is in store for the league's 700 players next season?More form-fitting socks and a more streamlined jersey with a material that's lighter, very breathable, water resistant, and more flexible.The new uniforms aren't nearly as radical as the original concept. That's because the players got involved in the process."It's something that they've worked with the players to improve," said Buffalo Sabres centre Daniel Briere. "I think they did it the right way where they asked a lot of questions, they asked for feedback from us, tried to find out what the guys liked and what the guys didn't like about the jerseys to try and make it work."There will surely still be critics - some players may be resistant to change - but the shock value dissipated when the original idea of tucked-in jerseys went by the wayside after the players politely gave them the thumbs-down. Jerseys worn out, please.Still, the new form-fitting sweaters are different than the traditional baggy ones. Briere, whose Sabres squad also tested the new uniforms, says the cut of the jersey will likely stand out the most for fans."These are more fitted to each player. It's just a different cut, I think that's the thing that's going to jump out from the people's point of view," Briere said. "It'll be interesting to see how the fans react to it."The new uniforms will be worn at the Jan. 24 all-star game in Dallas and then next season by all players."They're really extendable," said Dumont. "Every movement you make, it doesn't bother you at all."And the waterproof thing is great. That's something we should have had a few years ago, it's unbelievable."While the jerseys are tighter than the current baggy ones, Dumont says they're not constricting."Even though it's a fitted jersey you're not stuck in them, you're able to move around really well," Dumont said. "And it's really light. I know right now here in Nashville, our third jersey gets really heavy when it's wet. These new jerseys will be great."They're apparently not as tight-fitting as the Nike jerseys worn by Canada's NHL stars at last February's Turin Olympics."I just don't want them to make us look like robots out there, the Olympic ones were too tight I thought," said Edmonton Oilers star Ryan Smyth, who played on the Olympic team.The "new uniform system" as the league calls it, has been three years in the making. Originally slated to be in use for this season, the NHL wisely held off as Reebok modified and tested with players to get it right. Or so they hope.By all accounts the communication process between Reebok, the NHL and the NHL Players' Association has been smooth and no one is complaining behind the scenes."We've worked closely with the league in the testing process of the jersey," said Mike Gartner, director of hockey affairs at the NHLPA and the union's point man on the new uniforms. "More than half of our players have worn them in practice and have made comments and suggestions which the league and Reebok have made adjustments on."Credit the NHL for holding back the launch this season and getting the players more involved in testing. Just look at what happened with the NBA and its failed new ball. The players were not involved in testing and ultimately the complaints prompted the league to switch back to the old ball.Last summer, Reebok reps attended the NHLPA's player meetings in Whistler, B.C., so that players could provide input. In addition, both Gartner and Vincent Damphousse, the NHLPA's director of business relations, have attended team practices where the new uniforms were tested by the players this season.at 17:39 on January 16, 2007, EST.
