Bayne Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Well, San Jose just pulled a Carolina. Not a fan. I had high hopes, but they just missed the ball, especially on the home. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Bunky Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Also, really how much weight does a hem stripe add? What, a few ounces?They wear all these heavy pads, but then complain that the jersey's too heavy... I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The white and black stripes don't add any weight, nor do contrasting shoulder yokes. The stripes are sewn into the jersey, replacing the base layer, rather than on top of it. The shoulder yokes are merely just substituting one color of material for another in a portion of the template. The thin piping does add negligible weight, but they went ahead and left some of that on the sleeves anyway. The heaviest material on the jersey is tackle-twill, and it's still there unnecessarily on the front. Plus, there's the added weight of the metal grommets from the lace-up neck, the lace, and the additional layer of material behind the lace-up area.All of which is to say: Bull , San Jose.

NYYNYR Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I actually like the no waist piping, but it should have been revamped with something else, just not sure what at the moment.Look, I know that taste in uniforms is completely subjective, but I just don't get how people like/don't mind the absence of hem stripes. They're such a fundamental part of hockey uniforms and I can't think of any uniform that would look without them.Totally agree. It would be akin to a baseball team wearing a jersey without a belt or untucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 This is kind of like the white-in-the-sun thing with football: at the pinnacle of your profession, one which requires you to basically wear a suit of armor, you have no business attributing outcomes to the properties of fabric. Hem Stripe Slowness makes the Scheduling Loss sound well-reasoned. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'd actually say that the dark color on hot days thing has a ton more merit than the idea that stripes slow you down.

Bayne Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Obviously it's not a physical weight issue thing with the old jerseys, its just a mental thing. With more panels and stitching etc, it subconciously makes you feel like it's heavier and that can impact the way you play as a team. Stop taking it so literal and read a pshycology book or something lol. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

lost_limey Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I could live wit the dumb front numbers if the set just had a hem stripe. So close to being good. Or if you're imitating the black armor look, pair the teal jersey with teal breezers.Also, GFB, it's "dictionaries." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I hope there's a really smartass reporter in San Jose somewhere:"How many extra points do you think these new, faster jerseys will mean for the team?"After a bad loss:"The team looked pretty sluggish out there tonight, coach. Have you considered dropping any additional uniform elements? Short sleeves?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Oh gawd, look at Terry Smith's(San Jose Sharks primary designer) work. He's a terrible designer. Even his website looks like trash http://www.terrysmithcreations.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 The lack of striping at the bottom looks crappy.The failed attempt at removing most orange looks messy now, I liked the orange and thought it was great in the color scheme.They really should have used the fin logo somewhere. Even if on the pants. The full body shark logo is cool, they have a great logo set, but they have a full body logo on the pants. Switch it out for the fin. And I like the fin alone logo, not the SJ and smaller fin like they did on the black jerseys. That really looked worse than the previous black jersey.

BadSeed84 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Guess someone had to fill the void the oilers left of jerseys that look like practice jerseys.A shame, the sharks looked damn good, much would rather have the orange trim than this crap.

poser Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Our boy Terry borrows from his own designs..They are not exact copies but more of a "remix" of his own logos.. There are more examples and he seems to use the same font over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 A designer has tendencies toward a certain style? The hell, you say! Where's my pitchfork?
