hrivnak 38 Posted September 29, 2007 So, take a look at Kari Lehtonen's jersey (the goalie) and then Todd White's (the center). Notice anything different. Looks like the goalie cut has the straight arm design, while the regular cut tapers. I still don't get the taper. It looks ugly as hell. The replicas don't have it, now apparently neither do the goalies, so you can't tell me it was necessitated by the Rbk design. Weird. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CS85 10,599 Posted September 29, 2007 The tapers are a joke. The goalie jersey looks so much better. Whoever thought the taper would look good is blind. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maz 170 Posted September 29, 2007 Went to a pens preseason game last night... new duds look bad in action in person. Not terrible, but the patch of gold on the sleeves under the numbers seems huge to me. What I hate most is how the pants look...unfinished. Like the gold diamond shape was cut off because itd be too big if it wasnt.observe: 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-kj 2,395 Posted September 29, 2007 That doesn't look so bad in that picture. I'll have to see for myself at the Igloo on Nov 12. As for the Atlanta jerseys... yeah, the taper looks bad, but that's the least of the problems for that jersey. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Name Here 0 Posted September 29, 2007 I was absolutely dreading the Bruins' new uniforms; partly because they had an extremely tight uniform (excepting that alternate) and partly because we were hearing all kinds of nasty rumors about what to expect. I must say that I am so agreeably disappointed by the new unis. I would only eliminate the drawstrings as extraneous; otherwise they are superb.The Stars' road jersey should have black shoulders. And this isn't college, their home should have a crest. The Avs' shouldn't have those colored insets. What are the Wild thinking? The Canucks have now been in the league for 37 years and still have never had a decent-looking uniform. Remarkable. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Axis_of_Weasel 0 Posted September 30, 2007 So how long before the NHL realizes it can squeeze more money from its fans if goalies wear a different jersey like they do in soccer? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Domi28 0 Posted September 30, 2007 So how long before the NHL realizes it can squeeze more money from its fans if goalies wear a different jersey like they do in soccer?They tried that in the All Star game 5 or 6 years ago, so I wouldnt' put it past them if they tried again. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I Am A Flaming Douche Bag 0 Posted September 30, 2007 The players look really bad in the jerseys, especially on the bigger guys. It seems that alot of the players dont like the new form fitting design. Maybe the NHL should have talked with the PA before this. Its all a money grab imo. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
