sundstrom 719 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 they're not islanders 90's/00's awful but i mean, why make these changes? there's no point other than to look slightly different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Satans Hockey 3,544 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 There's just too much empty space below the logo and that's why it looks like a practice jersey. I really wish they released these with a player in full uniform but that would make too much sense for this league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel 1,653 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I don't mind it, but maybe because I'm not a huge jersey guy. Just happy that the design isn't loud and that they didn't touch the logo. To the extent people hate it, at least you can't blame the organization. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jerzey 679 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I like the wide white stripes on the arms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adidas didn't single them out and force them to remove stripes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikemarc1 27 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Why can't you blame the organization? You think Adidas just did this on their own? The organization makes the changes..Adidas implements them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HellOnICE 384 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I think it's fine. I want to see what they look like on the ice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At the very least the Devils were ordered to do something, and this is what it was. Or maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobilly45 135 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm not a big jersey guy, so removing the striped at the bottom, while not great, isn't that big of a deal. However you have to put equal blame on adidas and whoever at jersey signed off on this, ultimately it needs the devils approval before it gets made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, even so. If they changed the width of the stripe...not a huge change, TO ME. I'm just giving my opinion..Unless you are a huge jersey guy..its not too much of a change.

Now they're cut way before the edge of the shoulder. Looks terrible imo. Edited June 21, 2017 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thecoffeecake 397 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This is fvcking garbage. If they made big changes, I'd still hate it, but I'd understand wanting to boost jersey sales, spice up the brand for marketing purposes, it'd make sense. But why do this absolute joke when you have a fan base so tradition minded and attached to their team's heritage? This does nothing for the casual fan like a red and green jersey may have, and it pisses off the traditionalists (who are the ones buying tickets; you can't give seats away to people who don't watch every night). Just doesn't make any sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
'7' 1,302 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 They don't even look finished. I mean how is this even considered an NHL jersey? This is National Wholesale Liquidators crap. I wouldn't dress our minor league team in this. I wouldn't even let a bantam team carry our name if this is the jersey they wore. Good grief this is bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jerzey 679 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) One thing I noticed looking at that picture is there are 11 teams with a version of red and 10 teams with a version of blue as their base color. Kind of boring as a whole. Edited June 21, 2017 by Jerzey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicomo 6,031 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Only bright side is I'll save some money not buying one of these. Still dissapointing though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Satans Hockey 3,544 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm really curious to see how many people end up buying these because if you look here and other places it's overwhelming negative feedback about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfitz804 11,161 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm buying one. Like it or hate it, it's part of the team's history now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
