jkrdevil Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 In looking at the pictures I didn't realize the socks stripes don't go all the way around the sock to the back. I notice how none of the NHL promotion pics don't show that just the front that makes you believe it's a normal design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I feel kind of dirty admitting this... but I really like the look of these in actoin...That tiny Ducks logo bugs the hell out of me considering every other team has a giant patch on their shoulders...

-Helix- Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Look okay. Kinda look like pajamas though.Is this from like an open practice or something? Didn't even know they had those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 With the exception of the sock stripes, I think they look great, as far as the fit. I'm interested to see how each team turns out, but the All-Star jerseys look good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 It may just be me but the more I look at the Kipper pic the more I realise how baggy it is on the arms... I thought these were supposed to look tighter on goalies? Either way, could just be the angle but they don't hug the arms as much as it does on the players.Mind you, in this pic it seems very tight on the forarm and a little baggy up around the shoulders as well as down by the waist...

Delicate Genius Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Looks better than I thought, but I want to see what the NHL team jerseys will look like.On a side note, it looks like Kiprusoff got new gear and a new mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
js ° Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'm actually a bit impressed with how these are actually OK .. not the design mind you ... just the cut of the new uni (although from what we were told ... it looks like the netminders may have asked for the next size up to compensate for the size loss). I think all these swooping and swooshing striping patterns only remind of how Hollywood used to portray the future in every movie (collars have disappeared, jeans no longer exist, everything zips in a weird unnatural way). This aesthetic is simply designing for the sake of designing ... its ridiculous. And on top of it all ... its trendiness at its worst. It really looks like the art team at Reebok went ... "HEY, we have the capability of doing any kind of stripe we want now ... WHAT SHOULD WE DOOOOO" (exhibit A ... the socks). It seems to me, that if you removed everything else (trends, what we're capable of in production, and what the NHL is trying to accomplish ... ie. become relevant to youth culture) and tried to judge these, on a purely aesthetic basis, against something like these:or these:its pretty simple that style, communication, and clarity of design all fall totally flat on this latest version. Rather than looking like warriors adorned in uniforms of battle, they look like WWE superstars screaming at everyone .. HEY WE'RE COOL LIKE THE ATLANTA FALCONS, WE'RE RELEVANT LIKE MICHAEL VICK. the NHL creative team (with obvious assistance from Reebok) seem to be trying to play catchup with the NFL, rather than stake their own claim, embrance the core of what makes the NHL great, and create a fantastic presence based off that. ◬☰ ⏣ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I don't hate these, surprisingly. I wouldn't want any teams to sport this kind of look, but for all-star jerseys, I'm ok with them.Though, js makes a point that the 2004 jerseys were awesome--I have one of each conference. (Of course, I was also at that game.) The orange one... eh, I dunno, it doesn't scream good design to me. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

You know what the shield on the new all-star jerseys remind me a bit of?That's not a dig.

js ° Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 yeah .. i guess i can see that, with the addition of a 3D quality to it, plus the 3 star pattern. I don't really like the conference shields though. I can enjoy them just fine ... but i think its the amount of letters crammed into such a space that we're use to seeing only 3 letters in.plus when compared to the NFL's awesome NFC and AFC logos ... its like they created a tutorial on conference branding, and the NHL just ignored it. I even think the MLS conferences outshine these ( i dont like the letterforms on these, but love the ideas driving them)ok, i feel like i'm on a complaining spree now ... so i'm shuttin up for a bit. ◬☰ ⏣ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtlrip8 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Did any one notice, it looks like the nhlpa logo is on the back of the jersey in the bottom right, look at the hossa pic and the Blake interview pic on yahoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capsfan1000 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I like the way the eastern jersey looks. It isn't as tight as I thought it would be. I don't like the side stars that go down the jersey though. I think that the west jerseys look realy weird because their are no horizontal stripes at the bottom so they have an all blue look. The east jereseys don't have this because of their red pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just colored blocks with words. What is so superior about the NFL's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
