MadDog2020 9,382 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. Go flush your money down the toilet instead. Better way to spend it than buying one of these sh!t rags.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DevsMan84 2,374 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 A whole lot of hoopla over a few stripes. Whatever. The stock image of it does make it look much worse than it really is. The pics of it on the player is actually not bad. I'm reserving full judgement until I see it on the ice. the whole thing about being inspired by the Rockies and Scouts is exactly what people have been saying on here; a big marketing gimmick. Honestly they could have just said "we think it looks cooler" and it would have left the same impression. just remember that jersey designs are not set in stone forever. I do prefer the old hem stripes and hope they go back to it. I bet in 2-3 years we might be seeing an altered look withy the stripes back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MB3 5,660 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Seeing it on the players has lessened the blow tremendously for me. Its not my favorite, but it would take a new logo and a lot more changes for me to call it a "sh!t rag" look at Vegas. That is a "sh!t rag". This is just a less good version of a beautiful jersey.

eldon 104 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 @MD2020 Really, other people can't have opinions that differ than yours? I think it's fine, and now I like it more when I read posts like that. No matter what was revealed tonight, I have a feeling we'd be reading similar posts trashing it.

mfitz804 12,394 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Not to cause further problems, and I totally am partially red-green colorblind, but does that one Dano is holding seem like it's a different, more vibrant red? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That seems to be the consensus over on hfboards - it's a brighter red. Similar to how the Flyers went with a brighter Orange a few years ago. Have to see it in person before I jump on the color. And yeah, the collar is cool. So.. uh.. smack it on the old ones and call it a day Edited June 21, 2017 by Devilsfan118 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So.. uh.. smack it on the old ones and call it a day Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything needed to be changed. Sticking with the same layout on the new cut and materials would have been optimal. But we've basically had the same jersey for 25 years. While to me, that argues to not change it because of its history, its highly unusual that a sports franchise does that. Not unheard of, but unusual. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hell we could have gotten a redesigned cartoon skating Devil logo a la Lowell or some other crap like that. It looks about 80-90% the same to me so I'm fine with it.

NJDevils1214 3,325 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I echo the sentiments that it looks a little too much like a T-shirt without the stripes on the bottom. I'm not going Armageddon over it though. NJ IS ABOUT TO DRAFT AN ELITE FORWARD!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MadDog2020 9,382 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 @MD2020 Really, other people can't have opinions that differ than yours? I think it's fine, and now I like it more when I read posts like that. No matter what was revealed tonight, I have a feeling we'd be reading similar posts trashing it. Of course, I'm just vocally stating my opinion, which is that there are better uses for money than buying one of these t-shirts masquerading as a hockey jersey. But if you like them, go buy 10 of 'em you want, I don't care. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still love ya tho MD I met Dano at a bar in Morristown back in 2006- a few hours after game 1 of the playoffs against the Rags. We toasted a beer to the win. He was hammered, and couldn't have been more awesome. [emoji482]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Satans Hockey 3,837 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So whoever is running their twitter decided to be cute and put "not a fashion company" in the bio. Absolutely pathetic. Could you imagine this happening under Lou? I wasn't even going to email anyone about the jersey, I hate it but it is what it is. This garbage pissed me off more though and that's what I wrote an email to my rep about asking to pass it along to the appropriate person. I don't care if the team doesn't like our opinions about the jersey but don't disrespect us a few hours later. Complete bush league garbage. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is where I miss Lou- not his terrible personnel decisions towards the end, but I miss Lou the team president right now.
