Sodboy13 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 What is the purpose of the rounded hems? I don't get it. I understand the tighter fit and some of the other features helped performance (Ya right) but how do rounded hems do anythingHere's my theory: the rounded hems are there because Reebok's Edge jerseys were originally designed to be skin-tight and tucked-in. When folks in the league balked, RBK relented and went with a more traditional fit, but left the rounded hems.

The original purpose to have them tucked in.But they all look so weird no with the rounded part, I wonder if they will change that like the Rangers did themselves last season.And from the picture of Guerin they still look skin tight to me, lol.

Time to get crackin', Chinese bootleggers!I like the $36.99 for a Winter Classic Player Name/Number T-shirt. Why is it twice the price of the regular player t-shirts? Is it because they screwed up last year and didn't make authentic jerseys or even replicas that were accurate (edge cut) and they are trying to catch up on a cash cow they screwed up the first time around? I find it ironic that I hate almost everything my favorite league does, yet cant stop my self from wanting to buy their stuff. So far I've yet to get an edge jersey, so I think I'm holding out ok, but could be stronger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleeves are wider and the jersey itself is cut like the regular jerseys the league had before last season. (Just like that other vintage white jersey with the blue body stripe.) Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
