As a former hockey player, let me just say that those constricted necks instead of a more open neck would be annoying as gently caress.

i actually like the dark grey because black is overdone and i think white looks stupid but man there's way too much poo poo going on with the vegas sweaters. embossed gold armbands? perforated numbers?

Sorry, but perforated # are part of the new technology. Everyone gets it.

From the press release

Lighter - Featuring new cresting materials and construction technology, the ADIZERO Authentic NHL jersey reduces crest weight by up to 46%, while a single layer perforated numbering system reduces number weight by up to 60%, in order to deliver a new jersey that is up to 19% lighter when compared to the current NHL Jersey.

That's weird, this is from NHL.com:

quote:

"Specifically, for Tampa Bay, the Lightning's home jersey remains relatively unchanged, with the lone exception being the removal of the laces from the neckline. Tampa Bay has chosen to stick with the same lettering and numbers, opting against the perforated look some teams have adopted. "

But who knows. Really.

Nashville jersey is kinda boring but inoffensive. If they go with navy helmets I think it might look alright, otherwise it might be too much yellow

My main problem with Vegas is the white gloves, followed by the boring logo. The elbows are tacky but I dont mind tacky, its Vegas baby

Them going from the maroon breezer/cover with stripe to a black, plain as gently caress breezer with those shoulder just looks so goddamn boring. I liked that they were simple, clean, and maroon as heck previous to the 2015 redesign.


It honestly looks like they went with a flat black breezer to save money and buy cheap bauer nexus pants or a bulk CCM deal or something. :shrug::homebrew:

So in Elliotte Friedman's latest 30 thoughts, he released something interesting:

quote:

According to several sources, there is a legitimate possibility Hossa has played his final NHL game. (He could not be reached for comment. Neither could his agent, Ritch Winter. The Blackhawks declined to comment.) Apparently, he suffers from a serious allergic reaction to the equipment he wears.

The sources who confirmed the allergy stressed not to make fun of it, with one saying, “It’s only funny to anyone who’s never had it.” Details are sketchy, because no one would give full information, but the medication necessary to combat the allergy is potent enough that doctors wanted his blood tested every few weeks to make sure there were no major side effects.

That’s very serious stuff, and word is doctors worried about Hossa taking the medicine for extended periods of time.

If that’s the case, it would be the end of a Hall of Fame career.

Yikes.
