Trastion 22 Report post Posted August 27, 2013 The stars on the shoulders just look like some ice from a snowjob. Also do we need the Nike checkmark? Isn't that advertising? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogreslayer 1,069 Report post Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Hockey sweaters, regardless of league/team/national designs, are still the best jerseys of any major sport. Leave it to Nike though to screw that up. Here's USA Hockey's release on the new jersey btw: http://olympics.usahockey.com/news_article/show/279876?referrer_id=844349 Edited August 27, 2013 by ogreslayer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Knowing Nike, they'll probably be skin tight on the players too and market it as "Our latest Anti-Perspiration and Body Temperature Stabilization Technology due to the breathable little holes" and make the helmets and visors all chrome. Also, that logo is awful. Edited August 27, 2013 by dropkickshanahans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 If Nike could only incorporate that "fake lacing" into their skates... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheDetroitRedWings 286 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 Gotta say I agree with most here. God awful. The Stars I actually don't mind (sorta makes sense considering the 50 we have on our flag). But the fake laces and small tiny little 'USA' in the k-swiss logo is unacceptable. How did this possibly get approved?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 From SBN: Nike calls those fake plastic laces "Nike Flywire," claiming that they "provided a closer fit to prevent slipping" while "also providing a nod to traditional lace neck design." Or, you could always just add real laces if "slipping" is a concern. This is all coming together now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Why did they put the USA in the K Swiss logo? I surprisingly don't mind the stars there's a whole lot of other ugly going on. or the Union Pacific Railroad logo. The fake laces look stupid. I hope no one buys them. I want to know who the idiots who approved this crappy jersey. Edited August 28, 2013 by Hockeymom1960 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
55fan 5,133 Report post Posted August 28, 2013 I thought of the UP logo too. Now that I've seen it up close, the fake laces are even worse than in in the miniature pic. I hope we get gold. Then we'll have the last laugh. Then I hope we go back to the old unis or get a new one with some sense of style. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
