message board or not, the "dumbing" down of our society drives me nuts and something as simple as poor grammar is part of it...

I ignore punctuation or typos on message boards for that exact reason, they're message boards, but the butchering of the English language (when it is someones first language) is like nails on a chalkboard...

there, they're and their

your and you're

They're boring and not creative at all. Their regular uniforms are much better. I like simple, but it's like they didn't even try.

I've always thought wearing white for home games was weird. Every team has a white jersey, you should be wearing your unique colours on home ice.

Every team did wear their color jersey at home back in the day. I think they switched to wearing whites at home during the 70's, not sure what the reason was. The NHL switched it back so that they could sell 3rd jerseys, which would be showcased at home games.

Most hockey fans now only remember it being whites at home, so lots of people like it that way better. Personally, I like the color uniform at home because, like you said, every team has a white jersey. I wish they'd just do away with the 3rd jerseys though, its simply a money grab and there really hasn't been a single one that I thought was good. That is, unless you count the Wing's or Blackhawk's Winter Classic jersey, but those aren't really 3rd jerseys.

It's all about the Benjamins.

Personally, I didn't mind it at all. In fact, I'm in favor of the NHL switching back to using the whites for home games.

Honestly, I don't see why we have a system. I like the full color jerseys for most teams. I like both of the Wings, though. I wouldn't mind seeing a red vs. blue Red Wings/Columbus game, for example. But I suppose having white vs. color is easier for refs.

Is English your first language? This is a real question, I'm not asking just to be a jerk...

Same here...

Ha, really? Well since this is a "real question" here's your answer...

No English actually is not my first language yet I still know how to speak and write it, and I am soooooo sorry to offend you and the butchering of your precious language.

Get over yourself it's a sports message board. I asked why the Jerseys worn were away, not to have an english lesson.

[Hockeytown_Ryan 119]

The way it stands now, every game is Red vs. White as opposed to White vs. Blue, Black, Green, etc.

My 11 yr old son said the same thing. I miss seeing the different road jerseys come here...and besides the good guys are supposed to wear white!

Wayyy back in the day, teams had only one jersey, the colored one. The Leafs were the first to add a white jersey, not for road games, but for any game against a team in blue jerseys. The Wings and Canadiens followed suit, wearing white by turns when they played each other.

Off topic.

I do, however, agree yet have never aired my frustration.

On topic, I think the new jersey is boring and it was picked up on by Ken that, when Mickey commented that they look like an entirely different team in the new sweater, they were wearing Florida's Third. Reebok have little originality really if, by and large, if comes down to them to design them. They should stop trying to corner the marker in American sports and let another company make a jersey if a team wants them to. I prefer my CCM to my Reebok

The game I was at, Oct 30 against Nashville, they wore their whites at home. I like the whites at home better.

reebok doesn't have much input into the design of the jerseys

and why would a company want big name competition in its market?

CCM is owned by Reebok, and has been since 2004.

The only thing better than the Jackets new jerseys is their new mascot, directed at children.

They should have a bearded Union soldier be their logo.

Wearing the blue cavalry uniforms with the yellow stripes on their pants.

Revenue from manufacture sponsorship, if it went towards teams who chose their sweater manufacturer, would help to negate the onset of jersey sponsorship which is making its way onto NHL practice jerseys ( ) I probably didn't word the original comment very well, didn't mean that Reebok should let another company compete, but just the league shouldn't sell the rights to every teams jersey to one company. The teams should do it themselves and therefore have the opportunity to support companies that focus more/solely on hockey. Hope that's worded more coherently!

CCM is owned by Reebok, and has been since 2004.

Very true on that front, but as far as I know they still manufacture hockey equipment independently so why not jerseys along with skates and protective equipment?

That makes me sad.
