One of the most underrated Devils of all-time. I'm surprised you don't see more Brylin and McKay jerseys at the Rock. Heck, you don't see that many Daneykos.

DevsMan84 2,367 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Recently got this in. Got a pristine blank mid-90's authentic ultrafil from Meigray (still had the born on-sticker of Jan 95 on it) and sent it to EPS to get it done as a Peluso. I look forward to wearing it to games this year. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colorado Rockies 1976 6,836 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Look at these pictures and tell me that switching to those god-awful pajama tops at the expense of the prior design was a good idea...Hischier looks awesome in his new old uniform (even the #33 is kinda cool, though I'm guessing that he'll probably choose #13 or something else)...just looks so RIGHT: http://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/nhl/devils/2017/07/11/top-pick-hischier-hits-ice-first-time-devils/470203001/ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn't seem to strike me as "oh fvck no!"...pretty basic, pretty standard, pretty Devils to me... I know your schtick is to be an abrasive douche, but I'll sum it all up for you, re: those of us who have a gripe with the new jerseys, since apparently you won't read through the thread. Though many of us would've been very happy to see the new Adidas Devils jerseys remain as close to the outgoing design as possible, a number of fans were at least open to the idea of a new concept, as long as it didn't represent an overall downgrade from the previous design...I was one of them. Well, suffice it to say that the Adidas version, in the eyes of many, represents a MASSIVE downgrade, to say the least. The logo fortunately survived unmolested, but the shoulder yoke was truncated and now looks off, the "equal width" sleeve stripes were blown up to the point where they look like a child's swimmies (they look especially bad on the red jerseys), and the lower stripes were eliminated and replaced with a relatively thin black stripe at the bottom of the jersey. These are pretty significant changes in the grand scheme, and to many fans, the new jerseys look like anything from pajama tops to cheap overseas knockoffs of what we consider "the real thing". Even worse, apparently the main reason that these changes were made was to pay homage to the Kansas City Scouts (red collar stripe), the Colorado Rockies (the three equal-sized stripes), and some team from the fvcking Prohibition Era (the Newark Bulldogs) that maybe 1% of the Devils fanbase knows ever existed...hell, as far as that black stripe goes that has nothing to do with the Bulldogs as far as anyone can see, they would have been better off telling us that that stripe was paying tribute to the Jersey Devils of the EHL (they played in the mid-60s to early-70s...see photo)...at least that might have made some kind of sense. But the fact is that a very small percentage care about this franchise's history prior to 1982, let alone some completely unrelated team from the 1920s. It's a design that's not only very out-of-step with the majority of the fanbase's desires, but doesn't improve on the prior template in any way. Now sure, some fans do like the new jerseys, which is 100% fine...to each their own...hell, I wish I could embrace these things, but they don't look right to me and no matter how many times I look at them and hope that they'll somehow grow on me, they still don't. I think that they'll look a little better with equipment underneath them on actual players, but not nearly as good as the old ones. Of course, some fans who do indeed like the Adidas jerseys strongly imply that those who don't agree are somehow opposed to change, stuck in the past, complaining just because, etc. Not the case...with some tweaks, I could definitely live with a modified version of the Adidas jerseys. But as they're currently designed, I think that they're pretty awful. Seeing Hischier in the "old" getup only added to that feeling.

We're talking about a guy here with a third grade reading level and the attention span of a squirrel. I think everyone has already articulated a billion times what you've said; and even though I don't disagree with it completely I think it's fair to say "let's wait to see what they look like on the players". At the end of the day, for me at least, there was one thing sacred; the Devils crest. They didn't touch that, so I can't be too terribly upset. I prefer the old look to the new look, but when we see a full team in pads skating out there with these uniforms I'm not so sure it'll be the worst thing ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

T0asterleav1ns 195 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Fine with people hating the new jersey. I like the old style better myself. Whats starting to get to me is the complaining about them spreading to and ruining every thread. We finally get to see our first No1 overall pick since 1979 on the ice for the firs time ever, and the training camp thread devolves into "OMG LOOKAT THE JERSEYSSO UGLY, I WISH IT WAS 1989 AGAIN!!" I. Dont. Give. A. sh!t. Leave the uniform bitching in the uniform bitching thread. I want to read about Hischier and the other exciting prospects we have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
