hockey week Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 honestly, I'm ok with it because it makes players easy to identify in photos. So many times you'll have the sleeve numbers folded funny, or you wonder if it's an 8, an 88, or if a 1 is hidden back there and it's 81. This will be especially handy 10 years from now when many of the faces aren't still clear in our memories. Personally, I wish they were smaller and covered up the makers logo on the front of the buckets, but it works. Not gonna be the end of the world. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Save for Dallas, as I actually like the "college hockey" look of their jersey with the number underneath the arched city name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuet Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 What is funny is that I am so used to no numbers that now I only see the numbers lol.After a week, we won't notice anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 It's gonna take a little to get used to it, but as of now I think I like the idea of the numbers on the front of the helmet Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Keep the front numbers but replace the manufacturer's name with the players last name? PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee. Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The manufacturers pay good money to be a part of the official NHL suppliers' list to get rid of their names or logos from their helmets, or any of their equipment for that matter. Doesn't matter if you like it or not, logo "creep" is here to stay, just like it was when CCM was putting their logo on the bottom right back hem of the jerseys.

Lee. Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I agree with both of you, but it's a lucrative revenue stream for the league, and luckily, it's a strong enough league that its members (27 or 28 of them anyway) are strong enough financially that they don't have to resort to becoming skating billboards, like Jokerit.

ColeJ Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 maybe it's just because i have a standard def. tv....but in most shots, it just looks like the reflection on the helmet.i'm a traditionalist to the core, but i don't mind the helmet numbers at all. they don't even look weird on toronto or montreal, which is the major test, imo.

docrocket Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'd just like to say that this, for me, is one of the most visually-pleasing match-ups in all of sport...the only thing that could have exceeded it was if the game was played colour vs. colour. I can haz sig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 those leafs jerseys were just gorgeous to look at during that game.still my favorite leafs sweater of all time. the logo is even an upgrade over the current one, even if it's not the best maple leaf they've ever worn. but as far as the jersey layout, it's perfection. and it really ties the socks in to the rest of the uniform.

Still MIGHTY Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Ducks announced today that they will wear a #24 patch for Ruslan Salei from their October 14th home opener until November 17th. Then the jerseys will be auctioned off for Anaheim Ducks Charity Foundation and a charity that will be selected by the Salei family.Good to hear the Ducks are finally going to do this, but I'd rather have them wear it all season besides a month. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyersHockey1967 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I just turned on the Rangers-Kings game and noticed that the Kings logo on the score bug is a close up of the crown on the jersey crest; you can see the "pencil tip" on both sides of it.Here's a bad camera phone picture of it (click for larger size): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
