I think it's just that anyone who isn't a fan of the team kind of generally thinks their redesign isn't good at all. No man you don't get it everyone is butthurt that their teams can't be as compleltely irrelevant as the Devils are these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I expected the Devils guys to be freaking out over removing the body stripes. It's dang close to an apron design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shilenj Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Just like many here, I'm in regular contact with the Baron, too, and as of a few weeks ago he told me it's unlikely he or anyone else will be able to get the made-in-Canada authentics. We don't know what the future holds but from the looks of it right now, our only hope of getting them are by buying gamers or TI's, which sucks for everyone but even more for those of us who wear smaller sizes like myself, which completely eliminates the option of customizing our own like we've been doing ever since the Baron started doing his thing. What are everyone's thoughts so far on what you might do this season? Personally, I only like collecting the Canadian authentics. I can't see myself buying any Indo-made jersey at this point in time and certainly not the replicas. As of right now, my only option seems to be to wait and see if we get access to those Canadian-made authentics in the future, even if it's a few years down the line, so it doesn't look like I'll be buying anything for a while in this new era. Maybe I'll eventually grab a few gamers but for now there's not much available to me. Even the TI's will be far too big for me and won't be available in 46's. We've all been hearing about this for months now and it's disappointing for sure. I was really hoping to get a Canadian authentic Golden Knights home for their inaugural season, too.

Zeshy25 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Gamers are too expensive and I would be too scared to ruin them so I stick to authentics. Definitely not going anywhere near the fanatics stuff. I am still holding out hope that the true, made-in-canada Authentics will be available somehow. If not, then I will probably resort to buying TI/GI jerseys when available in the smallest sizes possible. I usually wear 46s also. May just hold off until the Rangers WC jersey and hope authentics are released as the home/ away styles have minimal changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Canadian jerseys aren't available one way or another, I won't buy the inferior stuff in its place. I'll live. There's still a world of vintage stuff and gamers out there. Meigray getting Vegas is probably good for availability. It'll take a while, but I'm sure that they'll have TI blanks eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can somehow land and indo for under $50 I'll consider it failing that forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsl135 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 For what it's worth, adidas.ca has up info about the new jersey redesign (not necessarily products) but it contains this info: Quote FORM THE FUTURE Designed for Endurance. Engineered for Strength. Tailored for Speed. The most innovative uniform ever built for the NHL®. Coming Fall 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 I see a lot of similarities between these and what Adidas does with their Adizero MLS jerseys. The funky "lightweight" material: The collar text and colors: The rubberized laser-cut crests: And the stupid little stamp on the hem: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyMusic Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) For what it's worth....the on-field soccer jerseys (adizero/formotion) do not have the adidas stamp. I doubt the on-ice hockey jerseys will either Edited June 22, 2017 by HockeyMusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Red Wings Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I guess nobody is willing to see what kind of quality they are capable of producing? I bought a couple Indos when the prices got super low, and I was fine with them for those prices. The quality was not as good as those made in Canada, but I didn't mind paying the low prices and I actually got more use out of them because I had no inhibitions about getting them all dirty.

AParrotLooksAt40 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) I think it's a mix of quality and authenticity. Speaking for myself only, I don't play hockey in my authentics, so technically I don't "need" a jersey that can withstand the violence of hockey. I buy authentic because it's more fun to have the real thing. It's like going to a game vs. watching on TV. Either one is available, but attending is just more fun. Again, I speak only for myself. But given I can get an authentic edge for $250 or less, I doubt I will see any value in buying a non-authentic for anywhere close to that. I also don't mind if my authentics aren't perfect for life. I bought them to wear to games and bars, so they won't stay pristine. I'm ok with that. Edited June 23, 2017 by AParrotLooksAt40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeshy25 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Looks like Rangers white road jerseys will have blue collar instead of gray. What a relief! Not sure I love the blue but, gray is definitely not a Rangers color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 As a Devils fan, I personally have larger concerns than a couple stripes. Our fan base resists change, there have been multiple such issues in the past 5 or so years. Bottom line, changing the jerseys does t have anything to do with whether management cares about the team or the fans. And anyone who calls the team over something like that has way more free time on their hands than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
