Kingofkings Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Adidas has 3 templates for jersey styles to make manufacturing easier. If a team (ex. Rangers) doesn't want to deviate and keep the original look then the team has to pay a fine to adidas...but thats something that most teams are willing to pay to keep the current style.

Seriously. I'm shocked they're forgoing the opportunity to empty more of people's wallets. I guess this way a bunch of jerseys get introduced a year later, though. More 200 dollar Premiers to go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Latest on the Devils jerseys seems to indicate only minor changes to be made. https://mobile.twitter.com/wyshynski/status/818597056705167361?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Who knows if any of it is true.

It's a partnership, not a shakedown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingofkings Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I was told that by a team customizer but I thought it sounded ridiculous. Glad that's not the case Edited January 10, 2017 by Kingofkings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBZ Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Judging by the adidas hockey twitter feed, I'm pretty afraid for their plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Not hockey but related to jerseys: Celtics are 2nd NBA team to put ads on their jerseys starting next year. http://nypost.com/2017/01/25/general-electric-inks-deal-to-put-logo-on-boston-celtics-jerseys/ Not a good sign as this will only encourage other sports to do same. Seems almost inevitable now for NHL to follow soon. Edit: Celtics are 3rd team. Didn't know about the Sacramento Kings.

I can say unless the jersey has some amazing design or something this'll be the end of collecting for me. I'll be satisfied with my collection and not worry about ever having sponsorship patches on a jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree... until they actually come out and I totally ignore this and spend all my time trying to hunt down accurate sponsor patches for my new jerseys.

mfitz804 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm going the other way. If I can by authentics without ads, I'm keeping them that way. I don't need to be so "on ice accurate" that I add sponsor patches that make the jersey look stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM7392 Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I mean I guess it depends on how it's done/what the sponsor is. If the devils swing a deal with Tampax or some s*** then yeah I may pass. It'll be interesting to see what happens, although I wish they'd just leave the jerseys alone. I'd prefer a patch on the pants of a sticker on the helmets if they insist on doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not an opinion, that is a fact. It is incredibly lame. And stupid. Call it what it is, a shirt with a player on it. There's nothing "jersey" about it. Unless my devils hats are all "hatmets" because they have the same logo that the helmets have. Edited February 1, 2017 by JoeM7392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsguy Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I gave up on those player shirts around 2012/13-ish when Reebok decided to make them so paper thin that every single one had the name and number screen printing bleed through the shirt and stick to my skin on my back when wearing it. Got a Kovy player-shirt in 2010 when they were still nice and thick and heavy duty and still wear it around the house as it is so comfortable and still looks great after dozens of washes.
