Confirmed with Link: Kachina Saturdays are now a thing

[GiveAFlyingPuck]

I’m sure their media department can make something that looks better than PS1 graphics haha

How soon they forget.

How soon they forget.

I'd say the media department is ready for the challenge.

Guys stop pls

I was wrong. It won’t happen again

IIRC, Gretzky demanded "more traditional" hockey jerseys when he came on board. Considering that he helped save the franchise (as his toy airplane to pilot, no doubt) I'm fine with the reds. I like the old Kachinas much, much better though. We look Arizonan once again.

So I got NHL 19, and if the game is right, we have changed the font a little bit on our Retro Jerseys. We have updated the numbering to look more modern. For example, look at this picture below and check out the style of the 4:

And then look at these screen grabs i took from NHL 19:

The 2's and 7's look different too:

I don't think it's an error in the game, because in NHL 18 they had the numbering and font the original way. They had to intentionally go back and change the style for this game.

Not a big deal or anything, just strange. Maybe it's a sign of things to come, maybe they do want to make these our permanents after all so they updated them to make them look a little bit more modern. I am definitely on board

Is it worth purchasing (the game). From what I saw on '19, it didn't seem like they added much. Some of the difference may be in coding for the game (serif vs. sans-serif font might help make the graphics "smoother"). Of course, as you mentioned, I believe there are serif fonts in the older versions of the game that work fine. Honestly, I think they should re-design the jersey at some point anyway with a cleaner/simpler design, but that may just be me.

I do it every year because my roommate is also a big hockey fan and he and I play together so I me biased, but I dig it. Much better feel than the 3 previous games, they updates the skating

Is that “Arizona Arena” in the east valley or Glendale???

Pretty sure the font in the game is wrong, EA not paying attention to detail.

Men's Arizona Coyotes Oliver Ekman-Larsson Fanatics Branded Black Premier Breakaway Player Jersey


Bought my authentic today so I will know in a few days but the photos on NHL shop are the original font style.

I don't mean to pick knits but that's not an authentic, it's a Fanatics Breakaway jersey. The authentics are the Adidas Adizero.

 

[moosemeister]

It'll be the same font regardless if it is authentic or not.

EA isn't the best for uniform accuracies either. There was one game where they had the wrong helmet decals for the coyotes. lol

 

[TheLegend]

That jersey is missing something......

 

[Prarievarg]

Is the authentic new kachinas up for sale yet? Can't seem to find them.
Also, since this'll be my first NHL-jersey and I'm not familiar with US sizes, what size would you recommend a (very) thin 180cm (5′ 10?) guy?

The NHL shop has them. I ordered an authentic and a fanatics, both blank (don't ever get customized jerseys from the NHL shop, use Icejerseys for that). I should be receiving them today. I'm 5'10 and 140 lbs (63 kg) and I find that adidas size 44 and Fanatics XS fit me best. I used to have a couple adidas Canes 46s, but I sold them because they were too long in the body and sleeves and too wide from pit to pit. I prefer tight fitting clothes. I'll post pics here once I have them. I haven't seen any pics of the retail adidas yet.

Thanks! I didn't find the jersey because they didn't have them in NHLs international shop.

As promised. It fits like a glove and feels nice. It's not heavy either. Adidas also removed the stupid rubber button from the lower corner. I'll be wearing this at GRA in December.

 

[SniperHF]

Are the Adidas "authentics" actually equivalent to one of the old Rebook $300-$350 Authentics? Cause I suspect not. Probably more like what they used to call the "premium". Maybe a slight step up.

Is it everything that you had ever hoped for?

Only large sports venue called Arizona is in Tucson.

Does the Coliseum count anymore?
No team currently plays there so probably not . Plus nobody every uses its full name anyway.

No need to put the term in quotes, the AdiZero jerseys are the authentics. I don't know how they stack up to the old Rebook ones since they're completely different designs but the point being is the AdiZero is the new authentic jersey.

Superrrrr jelly. Debating on getting my own name and number on one of these bad boys....or Keller (my other Keller got ruined.)

Any suggestions?

I usually prefer blank jerseys. I find the numbers are heavy enough to pull it back on me and I have to keep correcting it. I'd get OEL if I was going to. Literal "OEL" because his name is too long.
