kw11333 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Since Bauer has no previous experience manufacturing jerseys on a mass level; assuming they win the NHL's jersey rights in 2016, they will probably go back to the old jersey cut. I believe the EDGE jersey cut is copyrighted by Reebok, but most of the jersey designs in the NHL can be adapted to the old cutAlthough I am not so sure Reebok will give up the rights to the NHL so easily. In the last 10 years they have lost the rights to the: NFL, NBA, and MLS.Granted two of those were just Adidas (parent company of Reebok) wanting to put their logo on the jerseys instead of Reebok's.

monkeypower Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Christmas to me! What, were they out of Ville Leino?Haha, wasn't my choice. I didn't ask for a name but my parents put Myers on because he played for the same minor hockey association that I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Reebok was never the exclusive manufacturer for MLS. Adidas signed MLS' first exclusive contract in 2005.

Sodboy13 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Also, Adidas owns Reebok, so they've got the NBA and MLS just fine, I think.

Morgan33 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Another league wide redesign like the abomination Reebok unleashed in 2007 would be just awful. Especially now the Edge designs are finally looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I feel like, were the league to sign with Bauer, it would be the equivalent of Russell Athletic in college football.Uniform suppliers now seem to view league contracts primarily as an opportunity to promote their brands in the least-subtle ways possible. When it comes to who you want supplying uniforms for the NHL, it's a matter of whose bad ideas you'd least hate to see out on the ice.

ColeJ Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 bauer never struck me as the "look at me" type. they're about as "hockey" as you can get, now that CCM is owned by reebok.they're traditional, stand alone, old-time hockey. even their player equipment and goal equipment isn't as "look at me" as the other brands. i always wore their stuff growing up for exactly that reason. they're a no-nonsense company, imo. i think they'd do a really good job.they've been in the business before too, right? i think they manufactured some IHL/AHL sweaters back in the day, and supplied the predators uniforms at one point too if i'm not mistaken.

Sodboy13 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Four posts before yours, buddy.And to Cole: Yep, Bauer had the whole IHL from around 1993 to 1999, had a few AHL clubs, and had the Perds' inaugural season. Their Ultrafil authentics from back then are comfortable and wonderful, much better than CCM's authentics of the same era, though that material would never make it onto professional ice nowadays. I believe they were owned by Nike that entire era, though.

They were the Predators' supplier for their inaugural season and then CCM took over in 1999-2000 one year before the league-wide switch to CCM/Koho.

Boston and Dallas for example should never change again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
