Hurricanes Stadium Series jerseys leaked

[SUBdrewgANS]

More pics from reddit:

Everything about this particular jersey screams fake. The asymmetric hurricane flags inside the collar to the off center name plate. If it's real, even worse. Woof. LMAO.

Could be the base of what's real.. and this was a proof of it.. Will probably be tweaked a bit from here..

But overall it's awful. I hate black on red directly, it never looks as good as you think. There needs white to separate the 2 colors.

Godawful. What the hell is wrong with designers?

Likely not the designers choice. A lot of times something like this is client driven.

I'm a designer and the first round of design never makes it out as is, clients need to have their thumbprint on the design and they bastardize it to the point it's not even recognizable from the initial concept.

It looks like a jersey I'd make in some sports management game that has colors I like, play a season, and then realize I hate the jerseys and have to start over.

Take the Stars blackout jersey and make it red

It is awful, but the designers are merely the pixel pushers. Its the people/management that have the final word that should be taking the heat.

It looks like a hybrid roller derby laser tag jersey.

Fugly.

By now we should be used to Stadium Series jerseys looking like this. The whole scheme is to have a futuristic look, with exaggerated colors and fonts. It’s a one-off for the purpose of creating pops of color in the context of a large stadium with a white playing surface.

I don’t love ‘em, but I don’t hate them for what they are.

I came here to say the same thing....I'm also a designer.

There are getting a little too crazy with the different jersey designs. Continue like that and soon enough, they'll be like the NBA. Raptors have like 10 jerseys. It is ridiculous.

I understand why they do it, but I think they run the risk of having the opposite effect.

Exactly. Its not a traditional look for a jersey, and it doesn't follow usual design norms. But that's actually ok because its a Stadium Series jersey, that's kind of the point of these, down to the absurd number sizes.

True, but I’m sure thats exactly why they are pumping this shit out.

Merch sales. This is the only reason.

Yep. Or trying pathetically yet again to be like the NBA.

Well, the NBA does it to sell merch as well

European soccer teams change shirts every year for that very purpose.

Take Real Madrid for example... imagine trying to come up with a variation for a white shirt every year. Some end up VERY bad. Some, like next year's, end up GREAT!

Definitely going for the “Wolf Pack” look

 

[FMichael]

Is it supposed to be blurry?

jk

it's that wind in your eyes

 

[Armourboy]

Yikes that's ugly.

 

[FMichael]

Yikes that's ugly.

Indeed.

See the Stars neon green/black - Oilers dark blue/orange.

I think their merch sales would be higher with an actual good looking jersey.

I said earlier the only thing I like is the italicized font and that's not true. I also really like the rarely-seen version of the Canes logo with the voided colors. I've wished for several years they would replace the current logo with it.

 

[radkison]

lol

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

The neon colors on jerseys needs to end. This is the worst rendition yet. And dark grey on a black jersey? What are they thinking? Absolutely awful.

 

[kthx]

Really like the black-red logo.

They'll save the good looking concepts for regular play. Stadium Series jerseys are one-offs that will never be used again, and have consistently looked the part in almost all of those games.
