NHL teams to sport new look - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Sal · 08-28-2007, 01:08 PM

At the 2007 NHL All-Star Game, the National Hockey League announced that, beginning in 2007-08, all teams will be required to wear a new line of jerseys that are designed by Reebok, or RBK as they are commonly known. RBK is the same company that also signed teenage phenom Sidney Crosby to his own personal clothing line last week. What this means is that all of the jerseys will be lighter, more comfortable, and, the league hopes, more fashionable as well. It also means that all 30 teams will look a lot different from what you're used to. Some will opt for some small but subtle changes while others will go all out to create a different look. The general RBK design will feature piping with vertical lines along the sides and the team's logo in the middle, which is what the majority of the teams will be going for. About half the teams have already switched, while the rest won't have their jerseys ready until mid-Sept. As each new design becomes official, I'll post it here to see what you think of them. Here's what each team has come up with so far:

Boston Bruins

Washington Capitals

Columbus Blue Jackets

Los Angeles Kings

Nashville Predators

New York Rangers

Florida Panthers

I'll have some more later today. Happy shopping!

There's no way in hell that bloated NHL will force the Habs to change their look.

Before I start showing you the second group of new NHL uniforms for 2007-08, I should quickly mention that the Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks were the only NHL teams that radically re-designed their uniforms and logos last season, and, because of that, they are both expected to stick with the same look this year. Here is what they will look like:

Buffalo Sabres

Anaheim Ducks

And now, getting back to this season, the next group of new NHL jerseys begins with the Detroit Red Wings, who have wisely chosen to stick with their familiar traditional look, and they look beautiful!. After that, you may want to hide the kids. A lot of what follows is not pretty. See for yourselves:

Detroit Red Wings

New York Islanders

Ottawa Senators

Tampa Bay Lightning

San Jose Sharks The logo is brand new. The jerseys are still to follow.

Up next, the team that has become infamous for having some of the worst jerseys in all of sports, the Vancouver Canucks, will try again tomorrow to see if they can finally erase that dubious distinction. I'll post the results tomorrow after they become available.

I've seen the mockups for the new San Jose unis. They look pretty nice. The only thing I'm not happy about is the secondary "San Jose Sharks" text logo - it really looks junior league-ish.

So Pool Master Seth

Any chance of a hockey pool this year?

Those unis looked TERRIBLE during the all-star game, and will look worse on 30 whole teams! My Canadiens have worn the SAME uniform ( basically ) since 1917 ( before that they wore variations on a theme ) and NO Habs fan will accept this lousy piping on the "Sainte Flannelle" ( Holy Sweater ), so, the NHL had better leave them ALONE! Garry Betman is the VERY WORST thing that EVER happened to the NHL, he constantly spits in the face of Canadian hockey fans THE MOST LOYAL FANS THE LEAGUE HAS.....And i cant WAIT until he is fired, resigns or any kind of horrible "accident" befalls him......I never thought id miss John Zeigler but, while Zeigler was a lousy administrator, it had more to do with imcompetence, but, BETMAN IS A DANGER TO THE GAMES POPULARITY IN CANADA!!!!! I hate him SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much, and his CRAPPY uniforms TOO!!!!!

The Human Asshat is responsible for the fall of the league to the point that it's been consigned in the United States to the regional sports networks and Versus - a channel with an average viewership around the same level as Game Show Network.

Mikado · 08-29-2007, 03:40 AM

Can't even GET Versus here in Canada.........whether thats a good or bad thing, i couldnt say

Sal · 08-29-2007, 05:56 PM

I seriously doubt that the Habs uniforms will be altered in any way. You have nothing to worry about there. It's a different story in a lot of other places, however, like in Vancouver, where their new jerseys were unveiled today, and Canucks fans and players did not appear to be too pleased with the results. Take a look and try to keep a straight face while doing so. Come on, I dare you!

OMG!!!!! I laughed my head off....sorry.....those look like a high school uniform, or maybe a local "house league" team!!!
BETMAN MUST BE STOPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And poor LA Kings fans, after nearly 40 years of terrible unis, they finally had a decent one, only to have Rebok destroy it!!!!

that'd be Gary Bettman, NHL President and bigtime basketball fan (his main qualification for running the NHL).

i hate the RBK jerseys - too stupid looking.

i like the new Vancouver colors - they should bring back Johnny Canuck too.

Mikado · 08-31-2007, 02:52 PM

I think he was actually asking "what IS an asshat"? I have to say, Ive never heard that expression before, either.
