Luke_Groundrunner Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The Carolina Hurricanes unveiled their new uniforms this morning. Voice your approval or displeasure.My own opinion, they're a major downgrade and I'm disappointed.UPDATE: June 5th 2013 1:21AM PSTPoll on the Canes.com message boards titled "Do you like the new uniforms?" is currently leading with 77.78% Nohttp://fans.hurricanes.nhl.com/community/topic/21505-do-you-like-the-new-uniforms/I'm not the least bit surprised.

mad43dog Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It's not enough of a difference to have too strong of an opinion either way. I say it's a minor upgrade by removing black from the belly stripes On the homes that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellowTheMyth Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 They should have done more with the hurricane flags in the designs,but not going overboard with it. At least they got rid of the piping on the shoulders. The home uniforms remind me of the Red Wings. Just doesn't fit Carolina. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 The video explaining the process. http://video.hurrica...d=684&id=252682The first thing they did was remove the warning flags. So the option of keeping them wasn't even considered. I'm appalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsto Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Is it just me, or are the logo's up too high on the jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 If the striping on the home matched the away striping they wouldn't be awful. Still think the bottom stripe should have the hurricane warning flag pattern though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLion Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 only in the NHL do people seek to make products less unique and more cookie-cutter.I hate to say it, because most of what they've done in the NFL/CFB scares the hell out of me, but the NHL could use a little Nike in their lives right about now.

kw11333 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 They are not awful, but their previews ones only needed a slight change, nothing this big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDGP Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I wasn't a huge fan of the old uniforms, but come on... These are so boring. And why there is no black on the home uniform, I'll never know... Big downgrade. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

JayMac Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I can do without the flag pattern. But I thought they should have kept the silver/gray color. It set them apart from the other red and black teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Am I the only one who's surprised that the mannequins aren't wearing Reebok equipment?Anyway, definite downgrade.

mattwillcox Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Both jerseys are really uninspired, but alright looks on their own. I certainly don't think they work well together as a cohesive brand though.And I literally laughed out loud when I saw this in the video. That is seriously a Red Wings jersey with the Canes logo on it... Portfolio Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
