oakland ehs Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 His sliding all the way into the boards had nothing to do with the jersey. I haven't seen the play, but it's very possible for that to happen with old-style jerseys - I've done it myself. The player just didn't get up, and if it was early in the period, it makes it even easier for a player to slide like that on the clean ice.

-kj Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Right, but if you'll remember, part of the reason that Cooperalls were banned from the NHL is that it caused the players to slide farther/faster when they fell, making it more dangerous.

KrazyHorse Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I don't remember what part of the game it happened, I was too aggravated at how bad the Stars were playing. And I agree, I bet he wasn't wet either!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webhamster Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 The thing that bugs me is the tight fit of the thing. I like when a player fly on the ice with his jersey moving in the wind. That time is gone. The cut is not cool for a hockey player, but for a fan like me who like wearing hockey jerseys, it's correct.Y'know, I was watching the Boston vs. Montreal game from May 1977 on TV this weekend and I was struck, not only by how much the game has changed, but also by how tight the jerseys were 30 years ago. The loose-fitting jersey is a fairly recent trend I think, maybe dating to the early 90's. Even these "form-fitting" jerseys are much looser than what the players were wearing in 1977!

DG_ThenNowForever Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm watching my first game of the 2007/08 season, Sabres vs. Leafs on Versus. The Sabres look decent, but the Leafs look like they're wearing long t-shirts. I don't know what would make it better, but it's pretty bland as is. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthStar74 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did see a few games involving the Edmonton Oilers this season... and I am not really impressed with how the Oilers looked on tv with that stupid p.j. jersey look... boy that really strange not to see the familiar orange and blue jersey from the 1980s.... hopefully soon or later the Oilers will ask for that 1980s jersey look to be made... oyy.. I can say the same thing about the Toronto Maple Leafs...geez get white stripes on the jersey!!!! that would make it look alright... oy..

Harry Howel's Rangers jersey on display at the HHOF looks like it was designed for a 5 year old. Trust me, they used to be tight, and many people altered the arms to make them even tighter so no one could grip them. If I can remember where I read that I'd quote it but since I cannot at the moment, you'll just have to take my word. It is a shame that these new jerseys aren't that "strong" but if they could hold up to the stress of someone yanking the hell out of it, I'm sure people will start altering them to make them even tighter.

daschuck77 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 So to sum things up:1. the Reebok "uniform system" doesn't live up to it's performance benefit claimsa. wind resistance gains are negligable.b. dangerous for fighters because they either can be pulled over the head of an opponent easier or make it harder to hold onto which is dangerous for any mismatched fightersc. water resistant jersey ensures that water ends up in unwanted places like skates and glovesd. slippery socks may cause players to slide further/faster potentially resulting in dangerous collisions with the boardse. jerseys and socks are known to tear easilyf. jerseys are much hotter contrary to Reebok's claimsf. numerous complaints from players about all of the above2. outside of a few teams, the jerseys are considered less attractive by most hockey fans.3. they are more expensive for the fans to purchaseIt's safe to say the naysayers have won the debate here. Clearly the new Reebok uniforms are of no benefit to anyone except Reebok and those fans that have to buy every new uniform that comes out. The NHL desperately need to rethink this disaster. The least Reebok should do is ditch the socks and change the cut and make up of the uniform for next season.Hammer, meet head of nail.SecondedThirdeded Please visit: www.SabresNotSlugs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of both gold and white surrounding the black letters, just the gold was there around bolder black letters. This was also changed for the chest letters. All of the numbers retained the double outlines.Prior to 11/3/07:Vs Ottawa: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
