This was such a layup. The work was already done. The red from this mock up would gave been great and we could have transitioned to this format later on for home and away.

those would look good, but also nice to change things up, I'd rather save that design for a 3rd jersey (the red one). I don't know of any team that has adopted an outdoor game jersey as a regular jersey.

My guess is it is ego driven, ie the creator/designer/decision maker feels like they need to create something original rather than use someone elses work...dont agree with it in this instance but that is my best guess as surely a pro brand wouldn't seemingly be this deaf to its fans.

As expected, the jersey is mostly *shrug*.

As usual, people who claimed to have access to privileged information in order to rile the plebe ended up being full of it.

My only guess is that they wanted to keep a full fledged red heritage jersey in their back pocket for 2 years down the line when we change our home/away to the heritage jersey. Make people buy it twice.

The original pictures weren't very flattering and these imo look better. People who bought it in person say it also doesn't look as bad in person as it did in the release.

They really went for the bare bones treatment on the Habs jersey. It looks like Addidas was afraid to have both teams with stripes running through their logo.

Meh. The first pick looked horrible. That Karlsson one there isnt that bad i guess.

Is that O coloured white or silver? Im colour blind and can't tell

You have to wonder why the team didn't have a photo sesh with Karlsson wearing the jersey so they could release those pics instead of the numerous crappy photos they sent out.

Seems like the general consensus is lukewarm to negative.

I actually like it. I think people will come around when seeing it as part of a uniform. I don't like it better than a red heritage from the old template with a black O, but it's pretty clear the silver was part of the theme for this outdoor game.
