With this new design and form fitting jerseys, it seems as to me all the mock up jerseys have the same exact patter layout, as in the post above mine, the Vacouver templete seems the same as Calgarys those QC ones with just different colors, if all the teams have that same type of vertical stripe and same design on the slevees, thats going to suck, its like a carbon copy with just your teams colors and logo.

[Bluedevils_13]

Regarding All-star jerseys I always thought it would be a good idea if they modeled the jerseys after the team's who was hosting it that year. Like they could use the teams colors, and than maybe a similar design. I think thats what they might have been going for the year Minnesota hosted it.

Like I stated in the first post in this thread, this will NOT be the case. Only a few of the teams will be changing to this new template style and not even all of them will follow the same style. The Wings jersey will be just fine, don't worry.

Oh I am not worried about the wings jerseys , I know theres will be just fine, but still having a lot of these teams with that slye would be so boring, thats what makes it intresting, have each team having there own desing.

Until I see actual pictures of the Wings new jersey, and it still looks the same, I'm going to continue to be a pissy ***** about this. Sorry, but I see no problem with the way the jerseys used to be.

[HockeyCrazy3033]

Those Caps jerseys are sweet. Much better than the ones they have now.

I'm going to continue to be a pissy ***** about this.

Let's face it...the Wings jerseys are going to be slightly different. The jerseys' panel composition is so different that there will be extremely minor tweaks, minor enough to be considered "the same" but changes nonetheless. For instance, all teams' jerseys MUST have the NHL shield on the front base of the collar, so that is going to make the collar look different, and the new jerseys I have seen, a lot of them have that "square piece" at the sharp part (see Caps jerseys) of the collar, so it may even have that, but at the very least the collars are going to look different with the shield. Another change that I have heard is the seams are going to be red which will give the jersey a pin-striped look in the underarm area...this was from someone here on the board but it seemed logical and again a minor enough change that will make the jersey look different without really altering anything...

Edit: Both Caps/Bruins logos are great...both very retro and nice. Here's hoping others trend in this direction and not in that of the Flames *puke*

Caps new design was partially leaked.

wow i like those! does anyone have the link to those?

[Hockey13Playa]

All this jersey speculation, COME ON FRIDAY, draft day, I am so excited!

[SFWarrior60]

I do not know anything about the color schemes, but material wise I have some information that might be accurate. This spring season my Jr. C team got jerseys from RBK to try them out and see what we thought. I do not know if these are the jerseys the NHL is going to use next year or not. However, if they are, the jerseys were made very similar to the new practice jerseys the NHL used this year. They are very heavy compared to current jerseys, and yes they are form fitted but they are not nearly as bad as it is made out to be. I had plenty of room to get my pads under it, and it was not skin tight. There were vents under the arms but skating in the spring/summer it is still very hot in them.

Again I am not positive if these jerseys are what the NHL is going to use or not, but marterial wise if these are the new jerseys they are actually pretty nice.

if your skating in the spring/summer wouldnt u still be skating in an indoor rink? so there for it would be just as cool as it would be during the winter/fall ! just wondering?

[betterREDthandead]

Am I the only one who HATES that new Caps jersey? They're AWFUL. I always hated the old-style jersey too, I think the best look they ever had was when they played the Wings in the '98 Finals and had the blue jersey with the black stripe.

This new red jersey SUCKS. I don't even think those white stripes underneath the arms are the same height. If they were to use that shoulder logo as the primary logo and forget they ever had "caPiTaLs" in stupid ugly lettering on the front, I'd dig it.

[jaytan]

I agree about the Caps jerseys sucking. It would look OK for a team called the Crapitals.

[Zion]

Yes, terrible. The red-white-blue jersey we saw was much better.

Troy, the RBK jerseys are HEAVIER? That's strange... they're supposed to make you 8% faster!

[datsyukonethree]

Some conspiracy theorizing for you...

NHL.com is currently only selling 25 "Draft Day" hats. The teams missing are:

Anaheim
Boston
Ottawa
San Jose
Washington

I for one like the Cap's jersey's a lot, and I cannot wait for draft day.

They've been removed - but there were a few good finds on the site (you have to mess around with the urls). The new Boston and Washington caps were there (the Boston change is very subtle, the 'B' is a little fancier now) but the rest weren't. Ottawa's was there too, it was just the 3D logo (from their red jerseys) instead of the flat, classy one.

I think Anaheim is just going to switch from the wordmark to the bullet 'D' as their main crest. San Jose is rumored to change their logo to be a full shark, and utilize more of the orange that is currently only used as the color for the stick in the logo.

Vancouver is going to change, but it will be after the draft.

Not the same as what's coming out next year. I have an RBK jersey too, like you say it's the same or heavier than most practice jerseys, but it's not the new material or fit. Besides, nothing beats a Southfield Warriors jersey! (I coach the 94 team, we skated after you guys on Mondays last year.)

Even an indoor rink can get pretty warm in the spring/summer... the ice stays cold but the air is affected by outside temperatures.
