Don't even need to see the full photo to know that I don't like it. I don't see why they needed to change the sweater so much. Based on the photo's above, VAN, LA, STL, CBJ are nearly identical to their old sweaters. I know they want to cash in on 97, but the mere change from Reebok to Adidas and the new materials surely would have accomplished that...

Also, if you look closely in the picture, you can see what appears to be white trim on a blue number on the sleeve.

Guys, the picture on the left is a prototype. Pro Am Sports confirmed it and so did a poster who saw the final version. He says the jersey will have a navy collar with white trim on the inner part and a thicker white outline on the yoke.

I sure hope you're right.

Saw these at Jersey City, I don't think they're new or anything, but it kinda shows how the colour scheme could look with the darker blue:

You can see the difference between navy blue and the royal blue on the shirts behind.

If orange is primary color why is hat navy? I do like that shade better though.

The 1st round pick (and maybe others?) will also get a jersey right? An orange hat would look ugly with the orange jersey, so they get the orange jersey and blue cap. At least, that's my guess. On a side note, navy alternates in 2018-19 are gonna be lit af.

So another pre-mature freak out are now out of people's systems? Good to hear. They look as good as I hoped. Looking forward to seeing what the Aways and Thirds look like.
