Francis10 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Not to carjack the thread, but Carolina confirms all-new uniforms and will be posting teaser images starting tomorrow. However, I think it's safe to assume that the header here is the first of those teasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frosty06306 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Carolina Hurricanes Uniform LaunchJune 4, 2013, 12:00 p.m.PNC ArenaOpen by Invitation OnlyThe Hurricanes will unveil all-new home and road uniforms at a launch event slated for noon on Tuesday, June 4 at PNC Arena.New StormThis marks the first significant uniform alteration – from the home and road sweaters to the pants to the socks – in the team's 15-year North Carolina history. The team's primary logo and colors will remain intact. Beginning Friday, May 24, teaser swatches of the new uniforms will be posted each day. Follow the team on Instagram for a first look at each day's teaser image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis10 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The rather specific mention of the primary logo suggests to me that we're going to see a new secondary. I can't imagine they'll get rid of the warning flag iconography altogether, so perhaps we'll see one of the two-flag concepts that's floated around for years?

Xodius Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Based on the stitching on the jersey, I'd assume it's not going to be a traditional look. Good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hmmm. Does that NEW STORM nameplate mean they're going away from the italicized nascar font?I'm worried the Hurricanes are going to go with black pants and helmets and then we'll have a 5th team wearing red jerseys and socks with black pants and helmets.

Francis10 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 The Instagram shot also gives us a fuzzy glimpse at the numbers on the helmet. From what I can tell, it looks roughly like the existing number font, but probably non-italicized as well although it's difficult to discern from the angle.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I'd be very happy if the Wild became the North Stars, but only because I hate the Wild name.BUTThe Stars have been in Dallas almost as long as they were in Minnesota, and DEFINITELY have had more success there. A cup, 2 president's trophies, 7 division titles and 2 conference titles.There's no denying that the identity belongs in Dallas. Stop. Just stop.As for the Canes, I've always liked their look and found that even though they used common colors, they were unique because of striping patterns, etc. I hope they don't become another cookie cutter Ottawa Sens clone.

Morgan33 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Why does this have to be the same day as the Dallas Stars unveiling? That and the release of the new Queens of the Stone Age album have made the wait excruciating enough...As for the jerseys, all the team really needs to do is ditch the phantom shoulder yoke and straighten out the sleeve stripes. It will be a shame if they ditch the hurricane warning striping alltogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I expect that the Detroit native who owns the team will make them look more like the Red Wings. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 All I ask for is two things, in regards of the Hurricanes upcomming new look...1- No laces on the collar2- Keep the warning flags at the hem.Any other alterations I will deal with. I think it's likely that the flags will remain because they're keeping their alt intact, and keeping the flags would be good for consistency sake. According to the picture above, looks like the red helmets are staying which is good news to start. I have a hunch that they will go with black pants for some reason, maybe to differenciate themselves from Detroit more. The red helmets/black pants may be a good combination, if they do go with that. Regardless, I'm hyped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy_3223 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hmmm. Does that NEW STORM nameplate mean they're going away from the italicized nascar font?Is it just my crappy monitor or are those letters outlined in silver and black? I'm happy to see the phantom yoke gone and somewhat optimistic that the new uniforms are going to be a good update. I know I'm in a minority (or at least a non-vocal majority) in liking what the Lightning did with their update. I was also happy with Nashville's. So I'm sure there will be something with either Dallas or Carolina that won't sit well with me, but I'm cautiously excited and optimistic about both.

Midway Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Nope. Just black and white lettering. Though I wish it were silver so they'd embrace it more. Either way just about anything would be better than what both Dallas and Carolina currently wear so I'm on the optimistic boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I really hope they keep the red pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustDevil61 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I really hope they keep the red pants.I really hope so, too. I just hope that they don't make major changes; the Hurricane's jerseys--hem flag patterning, italicized numbers, and all--are (were?) very fitting for a team called the Hurricanes. Despite being a primarily Red/Black team, they stood out with red helmets and pants. I'd only suggest that they swap out silver for a dark, flat gray--maybe even using a dark, flat gray for an alternate. I'm a bit bummed that it looks like they'll be dumping silver and the italicized lettering/numbering. http://i.imgur.com/Pyc5qRH.gifhttp://i.imgur.com/RDXvxFE.gif LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanesCop86 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It appears as if its already going in the right direction in my book. Canes getting rid of the shoulder stripes. As a lot of people said, the only thing I hope they don't get rid of completly is the hem pattern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
