New jersey released

[AllAboutAvs]

Yeah love the numbers as well. Easier to read and they look sharp.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

It's gonna take some getting used to the font and the red outline...

Yep. Should've just outlined them in silver like the other numbers, but it's still better than the old jersey's

This is a cool one.

I saw a shot of the new Blackhawks sweaters. Now THOSE collars look bad. Looks like they're sporting a polo underneath or something. I wish I had photo evidence.

Yeah that one is bad. I don't like what I call the soul patch ones where the NHL emblem is just a different color, like on the Rangers for example. Ours is fine. The blue is a little random but it's more like a trim on the collar than the collar itself.

The numbers look like a cheap print you could get at each corner.

Love the jersey though.

Kroenke is being cheap again

There it is



Oh gawd that jersey looks so good on a real player

Black helmet, pant and glove is still so gross.

I have a friend who argues navy blue would look way better. Not sure I agree. It works for the thirds though. So grateful this team never gave into the trend of a black jersey.

That opening night back in 1995 though...what the hell...???

And again 20 years later....

As for navy, I don't think it would work since there's no navy in the jerseys.

Well there's no black now either

The Panthers new duds don't have navy in them (or at least it's REALLY scaled down) but they still wear blue helmets/pants.

It's a genetic stock pant. At the very least add a mountain stripe to it? Something? Id go with a blue pant but there's not much blue on the away jersey.

Are they allowed to have two sets of pants/helmet/gloves?

They could have a blue set at home and a burgundy set away from home.

 

[Pokecheque]

um...past efforts to decorate hockey pants have not gone well.

I don't think we need decoration on the pants. The socks and jersey are mostly what everyone pays attention to anyway.

 

[UncleRisto]

Steel blue or burgundy pants and helmets aren't very good matches for the uniforms they wear. If they had a different kind of jersey it'd work differently but the black has been there for a reason.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Almost every team has some sort of stripe on the pant, no?

According to this, yes. There are a few teams that are just plain but not many.

I suppose I'd have to see it in action to really judge...I just think a mountain stripe on the pant would look tacky. Maybe a logo could go on there but really...no biggie.

 

[UncleRisto]

By my count it's 17 striped, 14 plain, or something along those lines this coming year.

What do you have in mind? One side of the mountain going up on each leg with the peak ending at the pelvis area?

 

[Foppberg]

Personally I found our former 3rds to be the best overall set we've ever had and wouldve really loved to see them along with a white away version become our full time set.

But I'm more that happy with the changes.

Oh we gotta get a hold of the Icethetics people..

Hey I'm just saying...if we want to be unique, why not?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Can't link it from my phone but the Avs twitter just posted a photo of the jerseys in a cabinet with the "A's" for alternate captains are hanging on the door and they're the same font as the apron jerseys.

Also, 3 A's hanging and no C. Let the speculation begin

Edit: somebody else picked up on it and the Avs said they're just hanging on the door from before. Nothing to see here lol. Sorry for the bump.

 

[UncleRisto]

Well since you bumped this, they also tweeted some sweet photos of the jersey.

 

[HockeyFan100]

It's nice to have one of the best jerseys in the league again

 

[Avalanche]

I know it's probably already been mentioned, but when do these go on sale?
