nyrsuck26 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 SB Nation Nine NHL teams have a black jersey as part of their uniform collection. Those nine teams may want to reconsider.According to a new study brought to our attention by this NPR report, teams that wear black uniforms are penalized "significantly more" than teams in white or other-colored jerseys. The study analyzed 50,000 NHL games across a nearly 25-year span and found that teams wearing black uniforms were penalized about two minutes more per game on average. I found this pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 well if we keep on scoring on the PK why not? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion15 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Eh, sounds like someone who had something against black jerseys went out and started this "study" and just happened to find a coincidental correlation. Take it for what's there, but I wouldn't read too much into it. I'd just like to see us have a 3rd jersey of some kind.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLL765 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 3rd jerseys are lame and are nothing more than a scam to bilk cash from fans. I agree 100% with Lou in that having a 3rd jersey is stupid. We have the throwbacks, that's plenty for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsadvoc8 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I agree that a throwback is more meaningful than a 3rd jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLL765 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I agree that a throwback is more meaningful than a 3rd jersey. Exactly. I just don't get all the want for a 3rd jersey. Is everyone really that eager to blow a couple hundred bucks on a jersey that, given the lifespan of other team's 3rd jerseys, will only be around for a couple years and then look silly and outdated in 5 years. I mean, does everyone remember those Rangers jerseys with the head of the statue of liberty on it? I for some reason doubt Rags fans wish they could have a jersey, with a statue that's actually in NJ, back right now. 3rd jerseys are stupid looking 99.99% of the time and I doubt that the Devils are going to come up with one that falls into that .01%./rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim777 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Is 2 minutes really 'significantly more'? Do the guys in black get more groupies? I think that would outweigh the 2 minutes, and you'd be more rested for the groupies. Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gata Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Once you go black you don't come back maybe that's why they don't want the alternate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Starter made those black Devils jerseys in the mid to late 90's that you still see people wear here and there at the Rock. They look decent but I like what we have now with the current schemes and retro jerseys. If you really want a black jersey just buy the starter one from ebay or one of those new Black Ice jerseys Reebok started selling a year ago that I am still on the fence about if I like or not.
