It's not the worst thing ever and might look better on tv, but that sure is a hella downgrade from a like top 3 sweater in the league.

Blues aren't terrible, thankfully. I'm hoping the Preds will look much better on the ice.

I've said often that piping sucked, except for the Preds and earlier Blues. Of course there gone from the only teams it looked good on.

Whatever, please don't make the Avs horrible.

Don't worry, the on ice product is horrible enough as is that it'll make people forget about any terrible jerseys the Avs may have.

Up close, the new Wings logo looks like a cheap version of the previous jersey crest, but it's made in Michigan, so Ken Holland gave it a six year deal at 7 million per year.

A lot of the jerseys are like that. If there's a large area of crest thats one color its made out of the same material the jersey is

Pete Mrazek is 25 years old and not married, so he is obviously not mature enough to be a starting NHL goalie

again, awful asset management. if you want mrazek gone, fine, but dont gift him to another team for nothing.

Adidas is a clothing company so such fundamentally bad design is unexpected.

But St. Louis didn't do it, so likely it's Nashville that sucks.

the blues jersey looks fine imo and if you showed it to me and said this is their current jersey that they've used for the past 5 years i wouldn't bat an eye

the preds jersey isn't awful but it's a downgrade from their current jersey, which is one of the better jerseys in the league

For the most part, I think this thread is ridiculous about hating on jerseys, but yeah, that Preds jersey is bad. The collar is so ugly. Which is a drat shame since they had one of the best jerseys in the league.

Blues looks... the same? So yeah, at least they didn't mess that one up.

That would be really bad for revenue, which is directly tied to the salary cap.

i'm not expecting playoffs this year and you're right that goalies are a step behind the forwards and d but chayka managed to trade away justin peters, not re-sign lindback, pick up madsen, and the rest of the goalies in the pipeline are 22 or younger and don't look like busts yet.

rebuilds rarely sync up perfectly and the coyotes have managed to slide as many contracts as they can to deal with strome not being mcdavid right out of the gate

The Blues messed it up by not switching to the light/baby blue jersey which is way better

To be fair, though this was a pretty glaring omission, Vanek was traded for a 2nd and a waiver claim while Curtis Lazar fetched a 2nd and Hanzal went for a 1st, 3rd, and a player.

Ken Holland has no idea what anything is worth.

To wit, Vanek was the first time Holland ever traded a rental and, though they made the playoffs from 2013-15, they were pretty clear an also-ran and should've been selling but c'est le vie

in hindsight, the first rental should have been rafalski. there was no way they were getting out of that field of western teams that year. but the writing was on the wall when they replaced rafalski with ian white.

The Preds one seems like it's going to be fine as part of the complete uniform. The jersey on its own though is maybe a bit desolate, so if you don't like it, maybe don't buy one

the preds jersey isn't "ugly" per se, just really frickin boring because of the unbroken sea of yellow. seems like one of those jerseys that won't have everybody freaking out about how awful they are all the time but it's hard to imagine anybody getting excited over them either - kind of like the current carolina hurricanes jerseys i guess.
