I wonder if someone misread the order when it was processed. And that's not that guy's jersey, he's saying he saw that in a store somewhere. Meaning that there's MORE of these?! Guess there's some LUKE HUGHES #43 jerseys too? Goddamn that's just...fvcking awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Devils-Predators game the other night, “Small” was the only option for fountain sodas. Didn't know this. I legit spend $0 on concessions because I refuse to give them money on that end until they adopt fan friendly concession stand pricing like Atlanta has. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From his X post, it sounds like he ordered a properly made Jack jersey online but somehow received that instead. Is it possible the vendor ran out of the correct jersey and then tried to use the store version as a substitute, thinking he wouldn’t notice? If he’s seen the same abomination in shops, it’s a good bet there are more of them and that other customers are going to be similarly pissed. Why can’t the NHL do anything right?

It’s possible it’s a local issue unique to Bridgestone Arena, but I wonder if other venues are following suit. More stadiums will let you bring in outside food and drinks as long as the packaging hasn’t been opened. If vendors are going to charge higher prices for less food in house, I’d rather buy something before going to a game and bring it with me.

nmigliore Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 (edited) That tweet was hard for me to follow at first but I believe he's saying now he understands why his custom "Hughes, 86" jersey is taking so long, it's because it's not the standard. The standard ("Jack Hughes, 86") is what he found in that store. So I guess my question is... is that what Jack (and presumably Luke) will be wearing in the actual game tomorrow?!

Whatever the case, it’s frightening that those knockoffs exist. For all we know, there could be Quinn Hughes Devils jersey in circulation—nevermind that he plays for Canucks. Does the NHL really think people will buy crap like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we don't do The Lofts (food included), then we usually eat something before or after. I rarely go to the concourse concession stands. And though I like The Loft seating and the time spent with my kid, I find myself eating less and less there. That part of it is losing its luster...pretty much the same stuff most of the time, and the carving station offerings are inconsistent. 1 minute ago, nmigliore said: That tweet was hard for me to follow at first but I believe he's saying now he understands why his custom "Hughes, 86" jersey is taking so long, it's because it's not the standard.

Very few Devils fans would be caught wearing one of those. Unless there's some plan we're completely unaware of that will see Jack and Luke wearing full-name jerseys for tomorrow's game only. But yeah, this seems like a total fvck up, end of story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I answer every survey the Devils send to me talking about what Atlanta has been doing since like 2017. They make more money with prices that are reasonable. All we need is one arena in our area to do and maybe that will convince people to try it here. That chicken stand that was on the last Chico eats is selling that chickens sandwich for $19. Its an absolute rip off. I sneak a water bottle in every game and nobody notices, if they do I'll just play dumb and say I forgot about it and throw it out lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Yankees don’t put names on their uniforms, at least their players don’t have to worry about the awkward, smaller lettering.

MadDog2020 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 This could serve as a learning opportunity for all involved, so I REALLY hope the NHL is paying attention (but it’s the NHL, so they most assuredly ARE NOT paying attention). From the article about the MLB jerseys: Earlier, I thought that MLB might be stuck with these abominations for 2024, but with the MLBPA involved, perhaps something could be done earlier than that. It doesn’t appear that anyone connected with MLB, Nike or Fanatics (who manufactures the uniforms) actually asked players what they would like to see in uniforms, checked past designs, or did any sort of survey regarding what fans might want to buy. Maybe learn from this and don’t make the same mistakes with the NHL uniforms. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostondevil11 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 It doesn't look like Cool Hockey will be getting any of these jerseys. They are offering to do customization so if any one was able to snag a blank. Sucks I would have really liked one of these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
