Speculation: Incoming Nordiques Jersey?

[Cousin Eddie]

How did St. Louis beat anyone? As boring and effort lacking as Detroit’s is, even that jersey still looks drastically better than St. Louis’.

It’s just a cheaper material on the numbers. It’s a flatter darker color, the twill would match the logo and pop more. I don’t think it means it will wear out faster or anything like that but if you are paying close to $300 for something then wouldn’t you like what you were expecting. If y’all get the jersey and it doesn’t bother you that’s fine! There’s certainly an element of bird in the hand with this jersey too, it’s not like it’s easy to go order another with the low availability and who knows how long to get that one in hand. If mine came vinyl I’d probably keep it TBH because I value not having a hassle to fix it all.

Still disappointing that they’d characterize something as authentic and not provide that. I wouldn’t care that much about the arm numbers but the giant ones on the back are that way too I presume? Are other teams experiencing this or did they just cheap out on the Avs ones? I don’t think it’s the Avs’ fault here, they sold what they received but the folks who handle merch all the time should have noticed this. I saw a breakaway regular home jersey at the store the other day and while their numbers aren’t the thick twill it wasn’t vinyl either, it was more of a thin soft fabric, which for the price I thought was decent. I have vinyl numbers on a “fashion” jersey I have, it’s a black Landeskog with burgundy and silver. It doesn’t bother me on that one but it’s obv not a main jersey nor characterized “authentic”. Also examining my closet, both jerseys I’ve bought at sporting goods stores have vinyl numbers, so it’s not something that’s easily detected.

Yea it's pretty tough to get another right now, coolhockey is sold out of anything bigger than a size 46 and apparently won't be restocking.

No, that actually is the second best jersey in the Central, but that's because the Central has terrible ones. I don't get the hate for red in the Blues unis. I've always liked the ones that these red ones are based on.

Also, Butter Knives shouldn't have beaten Blue Habs. But if the Sabres had any sense and made a Goat Head jersey, that should have beaten the Whalers. And in fact, Screaming Eagle should have beaten that Whalers jersey, too.

It was a vote via Twitter over the last couple of weeks. The Habs getting that far is what gets me. It's just their normal jersey with the red and blue swapped for each other. Real cleaver design there. LOL.

Yeah, well it looks good and a lot of these are kinda ugly. Of course they probably didn't even need a designer and those jerseys already existed all over junior hockey and whatnot.

My Makar RR player shirt came today. Looks super fresh. Even with vinyl numbers!

I love the Habs jersey. Yeah it’s super obvious but they’ve never done it before. They should keep it as an alternate forever.

I feel like all of you are losing sight of the fact we beat the Wild in a head-to-head. That always feels great!!!!!

Absolutely in agreement with this, both final 2 (whalers jersey looking great as well) and the eventual champion

Habs had better options, they could've gone to some of the designs that they used in their early years that are vastly different than what they have now. Same for Toronto, can't understand why they didn't pick the St Pats uniform, just insane they went with that rubbish.

The Wild one is God awful. A lot of jerseys pretty mediocre.

 

[UncleRisto]

Whalers jerseys in general are mega overrated, and so is this one.

Their best ones were actually the last ones.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Lets hope our blues match better than the Habs....

So when do we get to see these combos before the season starts?

yeah hoping we start seeing some official pictures now that the dates are confirmed.

 

[AvsMakar08]

Kind of sad that Avs will only play four games next season in those retro jerseys.

 

[UncleRisto]

The RR jerseys in the NHL store are just about all sold out, the new t-shirts are sold out a lot, the jerseys on Altitude are sold out, there still seem to be big problems with existing orders, and there's no sign of reups... The NHL seems to be f***ing up the supply chain on these pretty hard.

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, that'll look great. But god damn those Hawks unis are all kinds of shite.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Love it!!! So blue

 

[tigervixxxen]

It actually matches !!

 

[UncleRisto]

It actually matches !!

Yeah, the practice jersey finally matches something?

Dis gon be good.

 

[tigervixxxen]

No, that they have anything that matches is a plus

Dennis Gilbert rocking some of the blue gear. Also it looks like he has an actual number and not a pre-assigned strange training camp number. His helmet in the last photo shows a single number but I can’t make it out. Possibly #5.
