Do that and it's utterly perfect. 2 hours ago, mfitz804 said: I see. I still like it, if you are going for an older looking style, I guess the single layer name makes sense. I think legibility was the intent. When the Blues did add names a decade later in 1977 it was yellow with white outline, which is hard to read. Single color does feel older to me at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they did a good job on those. The Hawks, though, kind of just looks like the same thing as the old one. I am sure they are different but without comparing them and not having studied them or owned them, I can't tell what the differences are.

furiousd Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 After sleeping on it, I'm still disappointed with the Hawks. I was really hoping for the 1940s white jersey. Well, like we used to say for the Cubs, there's always next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different crest and tomahawks, waist striping ends in black rather than an extra white space. Otherwise that's all I can gather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rhea Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I'm surprised the Blackhawks still have fresh ideas for these, this one is very similar to the last one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcmstr Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 FWIW, there was another design... Also, the I didn't mind the materials/construction of these premiers in comparison to the "normal" ones, but I can't go into details yet.

Jdems93 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hawks put up a video of their sweaters on facebook. Was thinking about passing originally but the video and completionist in me has me pulled back in. https://www.facebook.com/nhlblackhawks/videos/10154828279539258/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Frankly, the Blues killed it with these. Classic color and design, the crewneck collar, these just look flat out awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrontYardSpecial Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Went down to the Blues team store to check them out. As expected, they only had premiers. Couldn't tell from the press release photos, but the crests are felt with chain stitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAK74 Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 Stitched, too. Incredibly fancy for a Reebok replica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would surmise they just made the same crest to use on both. I guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMLFAN Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 The centennial classic is a celebration of 100 years of the maple leafs and 100 years of the NHL. The Leafs wearing something that doesn't tie into anything they've worn before or has any history tied to it like that garbage that just popped up would be a travesty. The Arenas jersey is made and on display already so logic would state that it's what's going to be used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Holy balls those Blues jerseys are smoking hot. I need about eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) I was actually hoping they were going to use the Arenas design in 2014.....sooooo hoping that they do indeed go with that They were the initial Toronto NHL franchise and won their first cup. Plus the T logo ties in to the university of Toronto's Varsity Blues logo. Being an alum I am partial to it Edited November 10, 2016 by HockeyMusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
