Gonna be only selling some indo authentics for retail. Not even JB will be able to get the on ice jerseys. -__- Ugggg.... that sucks... I asked jb about this a while back and he said he wasn't sure. I'm hopeful he ends up getting the hookup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the edge jerseys was introduced i lost interest in the game, just looked like s*** on the ice, now i just starting to get back into the whole thing, pittsburgh's looking great again, the blues as well, and now adidas will ruin the whole thing. if i can´t get the real jerseys i will def lose interest in hockey again. of course only very few people feel that way, so the league won´t care at all. i fukking hate adidas and everything they stand for, crappy sleeved NBA jerseys, 3 stripes on all of their soccer jerseys, and now perhaps this.

TheKevinShow Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Look on the bright side: Adidas/Reebok have been steadily losing their grip on the North American market over the past decade. Ten years ago, they had the contracts for all but MLB. Nike has taken two of their four and looks like they'll make a bid for MLS. Maybe when the NHL contract with Adidas runs out, Nike will put in a bid. Oh wait, Nike isn't good at hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Rhea Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 I don't understand why teams don't work out their own contract for their own jersey suppliers, I think it would add alot more variation to the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about combining the purchases of the league together to drive down cost. 30 teams to one manufacturer allows them to give a lower cost per jersey to the teams and help with the manufacturing process to again eliminate costs by streamlining production. You might get one new smaller guy (Bauer, warrior, true etc.) who might want to undercut adidas, but in the long run they would most likely find the business unsustainable.

AlereFlammam Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 You would also have a team like Florida paying more for their jerseys because they would sell fewer than what the Leafs can. Also you would have to rely on individuals to negotiate. Lou would get us the jerseys for free. Vinny Viola would have to pay $1000 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rhea Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Looks decent. I'm not a huge fan of patches on the chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Chest patches look cool, but are annoying if you're on the smaller side since they tend to bend or fold under when you wear the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PensJerseys Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) I think it even looks better ABOVE the numbers. Like you said - anywhere else.... *Edit* And now watching the Centennial Classic they are showing the patches both above and below the arm numbers. Much, MUCH prefer it above the numbers. Also interesting that Dana says they will be on the left arm sleeve, but these jerseys all have them on the right arm.

chow_hound Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Expect the league to step in and see these get corrected for all teams to be in the same spot. While i totally agree that certain jersey designs would better showcase the patch elsewhere, i also appreciate the league not wanting to allow teams to slap it on the rear hem or anywhere else where it becomes a detractor. But honestly they could have mandated a chest or sleeve placement only option and everyone wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I really don't get why it couldn't have gone on the chest. It's so out of place on the arm and must be a real hassle to sew on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
