bowld Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So tired of this "flywire" crap. Its ugly in football and now ugly in hockey. Nike can't honestly say this improves performance, what a crock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Um, is everything on these jerseys screenprinted? The numbers, crest, even the swoosh - none of it looks sewn-on. "Lightweight premium letters and numbers shave off unnecessary weight."Just wait until Joe Pavelski relays this information to the Sharks brass after camp...Ain't a damn thing "premium" about a top-tier national team's jersey looking like it got done up at the local t-shirt shop.Nike will still probably charge $400 for a customized authentic, though, so way to work that racket.

Bayne Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I hate the screen printed look....looks so cheap and nasty. Have the San Jose Sharks ruined hockey jerseys forever? 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...

Kevin W. Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 maybe the USA ones are practice jerseys? Maybe? They're definitely not practice jerseys. Those are the real deal.

Kevin W. Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have to disagree. National pride overrides everything else. I'll swallow my pride and root for a Coach K-coached US basketball team - even one with LeBron James.The same goes for hockey.

hockey week Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I have to disagree. National pride overrides everything else. The only time you'll hear a Vancouver crowd chant Crosby's name...And the first game back, Buffalo at Pittsburgh, the cheering for Crosby was nice, but the cheering for Ryan Miller brought down the house. "the name on the front means a whole helluva lot more than the name on the back" I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 My favorite player went to high school in Minnesota, went to college in North Dakota, and works and resides in Illinois. So, uh, go Team Canada.This again. We did this 4 years ago. My favorite players are all Canadian, I have enjoyed every visit to every Canadian city I've been to, the people are very friendly and funny, and they worship my favorite sport, but I'm not rooting for their national team. I'm team USA specifically because those guys' moms popped them out on the same side of the border as me and I like the colors. That's less of a hollow connection than the city they get paid to play in. You can change teams, it's much harder to change where you're from. Also, f*** Jeff Carter.

I'll eat a dead raccoon off the side of the road before I root for Kesler or Backes.First of all, nobody is on Team USA yet. They havent made the cuts....Second of all, calm the elk down. Not rooting for your country because of one player, that is pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
