DustDevil61 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Is it me, or does the uniform actually have a flat bottom? Maybe the NHL, or Reebok, is wising up. Insert Signature Here? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Is it me, or does the uniform actually have a flat bottom? Maybe the NHL, or Reebok, is wising up. I guess you didn't notice that it ISN'T an Edge and that Reebok already has a Vintage jersey in use this season - the Flames' third.

The_Admiral Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I inferred that by noticing it had a straight hem, he noticed it wasn't an Edge. It would be nice if they abandoned that ducktail idea, or if they never came up with it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 As much as I love that color combo, and it brings up memories of when I was a kid watching Alain Chevrerier (sp?) and Chris Terreri get scored on by Tim Kerr and Brian Propp, IMO the current Devils colors and uniforms are as close to perfect as you can get. Their logo is amazing, and red with black just fits a team named Devils. I'd love for that color combo to make a comeback (more than how Minnesota uses it) though.

Gordie Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 It's a little beat up from years of use and laundering, but here's a closer look at an authentic Devils sweater from around 1989 or 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 If they wear the black helmets/pants with these itll be really disappointing. The red helmets and green pants make these unique. And I dont know if there are rules against it, but if Brodeur played the game wearing 29, that would be a really cool touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximGan Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Question:How Devils produce an alternative form from another manufacturer (CCM).The basic and official partner of the league this Reebok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtthasportfreak Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 the tag on my two Rbk jerseys have the CCM and\or Maska logo on it. Rbk owns them I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Correct. Reebok bought CCM several years ago, and now owns the CCM, Koho, and Jofa brands.

-kj Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 I still don't understand all the love for that look. It was terrible, and remains so. The red-and-black look makes more sense and simply looks better. Hell, the Devils looked nigh perfect before the Edgeification, and even that didn't ruin the look.

This, the topic of Chapter 53 in the upcoming book Only the Goddamned NHL.Can I pre-order this book? It sounds like a winner.As for the number fonts on the new ones being "incorrect", it all really depends on what they wear on them during the throwback game this year.There could be two "right" ways to customize that jersey after the game is played. Yes, it would be preferred that if they wear a throwback jersey they customize it with throwback specs, but if they take the lazy way out and put the current numbers on the retro jersey, then they have (rightly or wrongly) created a second "correct" way to have they jersey lettered with the current lineup.Personally, I'd opt for an old player with the old specs. And a NHL 75th Anniversary patch.

ebod39 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Word on the street is the Devils will wear an Edge version of this jersey on-ice.the replica version for sale, that is being shown in this post, is a non-edge CCM 550 jersey.There are no plans to sell and Edge authentic that I've heard of.

And there's a lot of fine players to choose from on that '91-'92 Devils squad.

philly97flyer Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Im pretty sure the Devils used to current font right before the switch to black. Prior to that, they had those crappy stock style numbers/letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The red-and-black look makes more sense and simply looks better. Hell, the Devils looked nigh perfect before the Edgeification, and even that didn't ruin the look.Maybe the sweaters themselves were a little clumsy, but using green rather than black gave them their own color scheme in the league (Blackhawks have done red/black longer/better) and could be branded as a local "Pine Barrens Green" or seen as a tacit tribute to North Jersey's sizable Italian population. In the context of a team called the Devils, red and black makes sense (though there is the admittedly inescapable mixed metaphor between the Jersey Devil of local folklore and The Big Guy Allegedly Downstairs), and they look pretty good with what they have now, it's just that the green would've given some endearing idiosyncrasy to an organization that severely needs it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
