spartacat_12 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The NHL logo looks really awkward on that collar. It looks like they just took a vintage replica jersey and sewed the shield on. They should have at least altered the collar to make the NHL logo look natural. The 30th patch also looks out of place. I wonder who's idea it was to put a mostly black patch on a jersey with no black at all? Oh well, at least they didn't come out with another black jersey.

Sodboy13 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 The NHL logo looks stupid with the collar they chose.Which is really interesting - this is the first Reebok Edge jersey to have a pre-Edge "traditional" collar. Wonder how much more of that will be in store in the future.The retro is nice, but still not as good as what the Flames had pre-Edge. And I'm dumbfounded that they're actually using that anniversary logo.

IslandersDynasty Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Wow! Personally I love the "retro" movement in the NHL. As an Islander fan, I was thrilled to learn that they were going back to their original jerseys of '72-'73, then when I heard they were most likely going to be made primaries in a year or two, I exploded in joy. These older jerseys had so much color, and were so much classier and sharp looking. Hopefully, in a few years, we'll see the Islanders, Oilers and Flyers wearing retro jerseys or varients thereof on a full time basis. That will make for one nice looking NHL. 1980.1981.1982.1983New York Yankees~27 World Championships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarsofthumper Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 That patch is abysmal. They could have at least made it look like they didn't cut it from a white jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 From the Facebook posting on the Flames' jerseys:The vintage uniforms will be worn for the following five home games this season:October 1 vs. Vancouver - Home OpenerOctober 6 vs. MontrealJanuary 2 vs. Toronto - Retro NightJanuary 30 vs. Edmonton - Stampede Night & Hockey Day in CanadaMarch 11 vs. Ottawa - Jersey Off Our BackDamn. Only 5 times? I would've loved to have the Rangers see those when they're in town November 7th. All vs. Canadian teams too, which obviously is no coincidence.

NEW.ERA Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Really disappointed that we won't get to see these unis more often but it would be sweet on the 30th if Edmonton had a white retro alternate bringing it all the way back to the glory days of the Battle of Alberta.

Billy B Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I think they look very good for the most part. Their collar would have looked better if they just went with an Edge collar design like the Blackhawks. Right now the NHL logo just looks out of place. And the anniversary patch is terrible. The jersey itself is fantastic. I think the Flames could look great with black, but have never really used it well. So losing it all together might be the best move for them.

BBTV Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Any chance the Penguins will have a Mellon Arena patch?According to this they have abandoned the idea. 'Tis a shame, really.Could the reason be because a "Mellon" arena patch would constitute advertising, which the NHL currently doesn't allow? I know that's why MLB and NFL teams use generic logos for their stadium commemorations.

letterform Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I just caught a glimpse of the Bruins Winter Classic Logo and it was a tad different than I thought it might be. It was a spoked "B" but the B was much more rounded and looked thinner to me.that logo is closer, but it could still use a little work.

letterform Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The Flames just unveiled their third for this season.http://www.calgarysun.com/sports/hockey/2009/09/02/10721411.htmlI like the original, but the stripes and the logo on this are way too big. It looks goofy with that NHL logo on the neck too. They really half assed this jersey. DEATH TO REEBOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I give them credit for having straight sleeve stripes, unlike the ones that curve to conform to the template used by the Kings, Stars, and Habs.

canefan2k1 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Some people seem to be mentioning the stripes are too big. Well, I think they are the original stripes. In fact, that jersey appears to be the original cut from the pictures. Look at it - no cut in the fabric on the side waist, no side panels, a pre-Edge collar (albeit with an NHL logo slapped onto the bottom), and the shoulder yoke appears to come down farther on the arm than the Edge yokes do. Also, if you look at the rendering on the Flames website, the cut of the jersey is not an Edge type (and no rounded hemline). I think this is a non-Edge throwback, like one of the jerseys Montreal had to celebrate their anniversary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon_Matrix Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Reebok has been selling these jerseys (Flames) in Youth sizes for the past two months. In addition, they did not have the NHL patch on the collar nor have Reebok tagging. Oddly enough, they have the 'CCM' patch on the bottom right hem.

twi Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The article on NHL.com mentions that they uniform will also have red helmets and gloves. No mention of the pant color. If they trot out wearing black pants it would completely ruin the look, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk2512 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 the flames jerseys look great, i never understood why they use the current home unis with the black logo. this looks awsome and should be a full time home uni.

browna Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 As mentioned, the bottom stripe proportion is wrong.It looks as if they've just taken the 1989 retro's that have been for sale for the past few years, taken the SC patch off, slapped on the NHL logo, added the front tag, and added the 30th anniv. patch, because that's what the stripes looked like on those.Regardless, looks good (allows me to crack out my authentic I bought in 1993), and I assume that they will wear red shells over black pants for the 5 games...good to see they're making sure its done right with glove and helmets in red.
