The Inaugural Jersey Discussion Thread

[00xtremeninja]

Gotta stick with the green... It's crazy how many NHL jerseys are red/blue.

Might as well name the league Red vs. Blue and give Rooster Teeth a profit-sharing deal.

Because Rooster Teeth is hurting for money right now, lol

One of the reasons our current green jerseys look nice is because they don't have the main logo on them.

That logo immediately makes the jersey look busy.

If they go with green as primary they will probably remove the script and add the logo. Hopefully it will look better than the previous green's did. Its hard to tell if it was the logo or the red/gold lines that made them look bad.

I prefer it without either logo (crest or the squirrel? head). The Minnesota script on the green makes a nice and clean clean jersey.

Yeah, that's pretty common among all the sports, though. Blue and red are just very accessible colors, I guess.

For the hell of it (and because I'm kneeling out the clock here at work ) I ran threw a few leagues and just quickly looked at all the teams, and picked the first color that comes to mind when I think of that team's uniforms.

I did the NFL, MLB, NHL, and EPL

NFL
RED - 6
PURPLE - 2
BLUE - 14
ORANGE - 3
GREEN - 3
BLACK - 4

20/32 Blue or Red - 62.5%


MLB
ORANGE - 3
RED - 10
BLACK - 2
BLUE - 13
GREEN - 1
PURPLE - 1
BLACK - 1

23/30 Blue or Red - 76.67%


NHL
BLACK - 4
RED - 10
BLUE - 12
GREEN - 2
YELLOW - 2
ORANGE - 1

22/31 Blue or Red - 70.96%



EPL
BLUE - 6
RED - 10
WHITE - 1
YELLOW - 1
BLACK - 1
ORANGE - 1

16/20 Blue or Red - 80%

I do too, just don't think they would be willing to completely remove the primary logo on what would be the primary jersey.

With the current 3rd they can rationalize not using the logo because it is a "special" jersey.

Red is the most succesful color, black is good, too. Green is just meh.
I personally like blue the most.

You shouldn't be suprised that blue and red are the most chosen ones.
Again, what are the colors of the national flags in North America?

you do the EPL but not the NBA?!?! lol i hate the NBA as much as anyone, but if we are exploring top color choices in pro sports we can't leave them out.

Eh, I don't think I know the NBA well enough to just look at the team name and instantly know their color scheme.

I could get all the big ones, but like, the Sacramento Kings. No idea. Purple still? New Orleans is like a blue/teal I think.

Point being, I would have had to do some googling, and that was more effort than I was willing to put in

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

Wondering when we'll hear some more about all this? Seems like the All Star Weekend would be the perfect time, but now I'm guessing we'll have to wait till the draft

 

[00xtremeninja]

bettman released statement saying no ads will be on nhl jerseys

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

I guess that's something.

 

[Minnesota]

Everyone would be PISSED if they added advertisements to NHL jerseys.

Bettman announces no jersey ads and gets a collective "meh" from fans.

Guy can't win.

No kidding

I was very happy to see that announcement.

Thank God!

Weird how quiet things have been on the new sweaters front. I'd think there would've been more leaks by now, especially since you've got to assume they're going to want the new threads by draft day... right? Obviously a lot happens between now and then, but still. I know it takes a long time to develop and manufacture stuff on this scale, so they have to be working on it now; I'm just surprised none of the re-designs have been leaked on twitter or whatever.

Another slight update:

http://www.icethetics.co/blog/2017/3/31/nhl-draft-may-reveal-every-new-adidas-jersey

It appears that all 31 teams will be debuting their home and away jerseys at the draft on 23 June. Not quite sure how it'll work logistically, but cool nonetheless. Beats having to wait all summer for snippets here and there.

 

[Minnesota]

Responding to the question: "Last time we ever see the Red jersey tonight?"

 

[Channelcat]

I must say, as an old North Star fan it was fabulous to see those jerseys. Had always hoped we'd see them again.

Discovered at the game last night all jerseys were 50% off for a few days, ending last night. I would assume because of the new jerseys next year. I was really hoping to snag a white Spurgeon jersey since I don't have a white one, but there were only a handful of players with any left last night, so no luck. Maybe I should have gone with just a blank jersey, I don't know, because that was one dang good sale.

I tried to check out the Hockey Lodge after the game on Sunday, but it was too swamped and I had my infant son with me, so I didn't bother. I'm sure there will be other sales with the new threads coming out and all.

The sale is the same on the stateofhockeystore.com too, you could probably order one on there!

The only ones I see on there now are some of the wacky one-offs, I'm afraid.

Teasers for the new jerseys are being posted on Twitter. Minnesota's is actually one of the more interesting ones, limited as it is:



So a large version of the main logo, large horizontal white stripe across the chest (?), dark green jersey.
