Stampman Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Tim Horton approvesI just have to bring that forward--I approve as well.I'm not a big fan of theose Buffalo unis (or their current ones either), but the whites are better than the blues.AND--I love those blue Penguins ones.Too bad they changed colours.(Yes I understand why & all--I don't need the lecture--I'm just saying I liked those ones and they shouldn't have changed.)

CDunn Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 While the Sabres will look good for this game, the uniform is incorrect. The Sabres never had a lace-up collar while also having the shoulder logos. The year the lace-up turned into a v-neck the shoulder logos appeared. I believe that they went to a v-neck and shoulder logos in the '78-'79 season. Also, the Sabres never wore socks like that. Actually, I always thought the socks should have looked like this but they never did. They were either a triple set of stripes or a double set, depending on the year. I think that change from three sets of blue-white-yellow-white-blue stripes to two sets happened in '78-'79 as well. These problems bother me, but the uniforms still look good, especially for an Edge.I can't speak to the accuracy of the Pens unis, except for that I don't think they had names on the powder blue jerseys when the wore that design and logo. Didn't they have names on the whites but not the blues? That's a rather acceptable change though, considering having names is now a rule and they're going to want to put names on it to sell more jerseys. Though with white text on the powder blue it's going to be difficult to read in a football stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 for what its worth reviving this thread:the pens held an open practice today in which they wore the pants, helmets, and gloves they will wear at the Winter Classic, giving us our first look at them in action.Sabourin's retro padsSabourins special mask somewhat reminiscent of a pens mask form the past.....

The_Admiral Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 More teams should just wear tan pads and gloves. Some of the more modern designs are kind of distracting to my eyes. The Canadiens and Blackhawks could benefit from this look. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadiens and Blackhawks could benefit from this look.A lot of modern pad design is about exactly that-distracting the shooter's eye. Guys like Fleury wear garishly bright or striped pads to make the shooter look at the pads, and supposedly they will be more likely to subconsciously want to shoot at the pads. It's the same thing as the whole "symmetrical/target-like jersey crest" theory. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the classic models we have grown to miss. I have seen the replica's in person and they do not in any way, shape or form share an Edge cut.

Sport Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 When RBK designed the new lace up jerseys on the edge do you think they were made with the intention that fans could carry their car keys or lose change in that little pouch? That's what I do if I had one of those jerseys, just to make a point about the usefulness of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Another detail worth mentionning is that the stripes will curve to follow the rounded cut at the waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterform Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Another detail worth mentionning is that the stripes will curve to follow the rounded cut at the waist.It would make so much more sense to get rid of the stupid curved bottom - which is really just a relic of the tucked-in prototypes - but that would just signal defeat. The curved bottom looks terrible on any traditional style uniform with bottom hem stripes and it serves absolutely no purpose. Why can't they just fix that instead of adapting a classic uniform to a stupid template that no one likes.arrrrrgggggh DEATH TO REEBOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
