Jersey Mike Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 5 minutes ago, mfitz804 said: My initial plan was to pick up a home and road of whatever was made available as soon as possible. But with what I'm seeing and hearing, I'm not sure I even want to do that. Its really sad. I've always felt the Edge jerseys were a major step back, though the 2.0s have grown on me. But these Adidas seem to be another massive step in the wrong direction. No doubt about it. In a nutshell (?), it seems they morphed several undesirable elements into one jersey: the unnecessarily long bodies of the Starter jerseys from the '90s, the cheap material from the Reebok Premier jerseys, the collars from the World Cup of Hockey jerseys, and the skinny arms from the Edge 1.0 jerseys! ?

Guest Dr_Puck Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 It's September and a team is just now debuting its new jerseys. Points to the USHL's Flying Aces for a nice look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoNowWhat? Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 I may be a bit slow on this but I've just realised why the shoulder patches are placed ridiculously close to the neck hole. It's all to do with those shoulders and how they're cut. I'm growing to be a grumpy old man but can I state categorically that I don't like it. Not even sure if the on ice authentics will redeem this. As said by @Devilsguy if this is the Indos then what fresh hell the fanatics will be.

It will come to light that they are made of pudding and recycled underpants, as I've long suspected of the Premiers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant real pudding. Not a cake which British people think is pudding. Even so, excellent comedic timing on the callback!! And I like that you needed to clarify...

To put the Capitals eagle in a spot where it is on the Edge, they'd have to put it on the sleeves. I imagine the shape of these is a lot like the Edge 1.0 (of which I don't own any).

Brilliant! Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 The jerseys that MeiGray had on display at the expo were made from a completely different material than that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there may yet be some hope for authentics...IF we can access them. I don't think I'll be rushing out to get any Adidas just yet though, even authentic.

They will only be made available to the teams. At this point, the only way to get one will be to buy a GI or GW. 2 hours ago, Devilsguy said: I was thinking of getting a set 1 Devils from this coming season.

There's no indication that the Devils are moving away from EPS. Game worn program. Devils have been using Meigray for years but rumor is Devils are going over to Fanatics now. It was inevitable. It really sucks because of the issues they had with the Blues program (inflated pricing, inconsistent pricing, many more sets, etc). As for the lettering as far as I know they are sticking with EPS. Edit: To add, going to Fanatics sucks because it will make it that much harder and more expensive to get a gamer or even a GI or TI jersey now. If the retail authentic version of the Adizero (aka Indo version) is as bad as those pictures are above, then it's a double-whammy. I want nothing to do with those retail authentics then.

rabinsurance Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Henrik Lundqvist was on "Live With Kelly and Ryan" today. I had it on in the office in the background with the sound off while I was making my calls. They did some goofy segment where Henrik and Kelly took shots on Seacrest, wearing goalie pads. He flopped around like the Arse he is. But he and Ripa were wearing customized Rangers Adizero jerseys, without any tags or badges on the body like the Indo versions seem to have.

It's GW/GI/TI or skip it all together at this point. It may also push the prices of those items higher. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabinsurance Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I stand corrected. Thank you CJ. I had the sound off and was doing three other things at the time. But Ryan Seacrest is still a douchebag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
