Doesn't seem to fit the latest teaser of the shoulder patch...

I was reading through the spec's on these Adidas jersey's, they seem to vastly improve on where the Edge left off in terms of lightweight material and catering to the players.

That being said, the people in China that make the bootlegs have ALOT of work ahead of them to even try to come close. Not that the current bootlegs are all that great, but these Adidas ones will stick out like crazy when people wear them.

I wonder what they're gonna do about gloves, and I would suspect we won't know for sure until either they have the captains out there doing publicity shots in full gear, or preseason even. Never thought their gloves matched up quite right with the sweaters from the last several seasons. Specifically the green-red-gold combo. Straight up green and white (or wheat, I guess) would look a lot more slick.

Where'd you hear that?

From a poster on sportslogos who has seen all the jerseys and he confirmed this was close when asked about the striping. Did supply a lot of believable info in general.

Thats the patch yeah, the concept was matching the description of the overall layout.

The 7 and the W look really odd on the first two pics.

Yeh those 7's are not accurate at all. The state of hockey store has several game used Stewart jerseys and the 7 doesn't look like that.

On a side note has anyone ever bought a game used jersey and taken the nameplate off and had heritage embroidery in stillwater put a new nameplate on? At $250 for a Sutter jersey I think it'd be cheaper than buying a new authentic jersey and having my name and number sewn on after.

 

[Caior89]

it will apparently look like this

No 3 stripes?

So.... Russo says the jerseys will be revealed at 9pm-ish tonight. All the old info I can find said they'd be revealed at the draft, then at the awards show. Did they really change the reveal date twice, or am I just an old confused person

Everything I'd read until like yesterday said the reveal would be at the awards show, so I'm confused as well. Not that I'd be disappointed if they reveal them earlier, and it'd make more sense than cramming everything into tomorrow night.

I mean, all the teaser videos say "6.20.17".... so I wonder if someone got it wrong early on, and they've been trying to play it off this whole time

Considering the state of journalism today, that seems pretty likely.

Well, I wouldn't pin it on journalism. Russo et. al. simply report what they've heard; I'd put this 100% on the league and/or Adidas, if indeed there was a mix up.

I thought I read from some reputable source on Twitter that the homes would be unveiled tonight and the aways tomorrow. Don't quote me on that though.

Striping pattern confirmed

 

[StealthClobber]

Seems we've moved the double stripe from the previous green to the arms and filled in the middle with red (oddly), added a Habs style center stripe, and finished it off with striping the bottom edge so they don't look barren.

I'm ok with it from this view. Filling the arm stripe space with red might take some getting used to though...

I think the Knights jersey would look alright without the red. Get rid of the red from their colors and it would be fine. But no, gotta complicate it.

It could have been a lot worse.

I'm so happy they didn't add a thick red stripe anywhere.

 

[TaLoN]

Glad those numbers aren't red.

 

[Wabit]

Think I'll have to see it in person. I'm not a fan of the stripe with my initial opinion. I get that it's there to make the logo stand out more, just meh in the little picture.

From Russo

 

[TaLoN]

So the stripe doesn't go all the way around?

What is with the big red arrow at the front of the neckline?

 

[TommieNation]

Seeing the up close pictures I'm not a huge fan. Why doesn't the stripe go the whole way around? Why did we pick white over wheat? Maybe they will grow on me

 

[NHL1674]

Glad it isn't red. But the stripe is too busy in the center with the logo. Should have been on the bottom of the jersey. What about the home jerseys? The stripe can't be green, because the logo would disappear into it.

This IS the home jersey.
