so, anyone think Lou will actually cave to using chrome logo?

That's the word going around, though nothing has officially been said yet. I'm surprised he managed to keep the Devils from having a new jersey designed at all, so I wouldn't be surprised if the compromise was that they still get to slap on a chromified NJ on the throwbacks.

Bettman: "we need you to wear a special chrome jersey"
Lou: "No"
Bettman: "How can I convince you"
Lou: "Remember that first round pick...."

Don't care if they got out on the ice naked with that logo spray painted on their chests.

Just give us that first rounder back.

And in other news the Blackhawks basically bring back the black pre-Winter Classic alternates, but in the weird Stadium Series template.

Its not half bad. If our retros get that treatment, I won't be mad at all.

i think the devils have shirts with a chrome logo, but no player numbers. i really think they will just use the regular retros. and maybe a slight chrome.

The logo is going to be chrome, I would be surprised if it isn't, and I'd expect minor alterations as well besides the stadium series patch. Whether with the trim, or the numbers ETC.

hawks have the nicest ones

kept it simple and the chrome doesn't look too bad on their logo

edit: just saw a different angle, and it looks like Shaw is wearing a dress.

The materials still look patched up....

The whole chrome idea reminds me of those stupid whiskey commercials starring Claire Forlani.

There are so many people are involved in bringing an idea like this to completion. You think someone along the line would maybe consider how dumb all of it is.

Its a little stupid, but at this point it would be even more stupid for our team to be the only one to not follow along with the theme. The blackhawks are like 100 years old as an organization with a sweater that is practically sacred and they played ball without complaints.

Chrome was a bad choice.

Someone said it on the main board, but it looks really cheap.

if i had it my way....90s era jerseys

fishsticks for the islanders.

The chrome idea wasn't bad, I got used to it. Its the screen printing which sucks and makes it look cheap on the jerseys. At least for the jerseys they should have made an attempt to make it be actual chrome or shiny instead of this screen printed t-shirt like crap.

Rags jerseys don't look bad. Overall Reebok didn't do too bad, at least its different and fresh.

So I just got an e-mail from shop.nhl.com to buy stadium series jerseys. They showed a Devils jersey... and it's the original red white green... NO chrome.

Would the present day Devils uniform look better with a vertical red or red/white stripe on both sides of the shorts?

Thank God. I wouldn't wipe my ass with these stadium series jerseys. They look cheap and rushed. Lou may be a hard ass, but the man is all about tradition and that's what makes our uniform and logo special. They don't **** all over it just to jump on some cash grab. Sadly, that's what this entire stadium series is all about though.

Would the present day Devils uniform look better with a vertical red or red/white stripe on both sides of the shorts?

That's an interesting thought, but I say no. I think it would clash too much. The current look is very clean. As much as I love the retros, that wasn't something you could say about them. They're a bit messy.

The Ducks jersey is beyond awful. An orange blob of **** with a few small stripes on the sleeves? How long do you think it took to draw up this masterpiece? And the Islanders, well what else do you expect from that train wreck franchise? You know it's very bad when you can genuinely look back fondly on the fisherman jerseys. As awful as those things were, they pale in comparison to some of the **** they've worn since.

I'm all for teams taking an opportunity to play in some retro gear, but even that has been beaten to death. There is nothing special about it any more. Once a year like how NJ does it keeps it as fresh as possible. It gets stale fast when you keep rolling them out too often. You might as well change back to them if that's the case.

They should of had some fun with this and brought back the Mighty Ducks logo, the Burger King, Fishermen, etc.
