JimmyGagner Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 Speaking to Blackhawks specifically, the on-ice cresting and patches are different than the retail. They are the only team that does this because of cost. The Chief Blackhawk front crest costs $20. They are the same as what was used on Reebok MIC. There's only one domestic supplier who can create the chainstitch to the level of quality the team demands. Again, read my comments above. Not all teams switched to the lighter woven patches on the shoulders. Also, most front crests stayed the same from Reebok. Those that did change, only swapped certain areas of twill for the lighter weight material that looks like the jersey fabric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article states that crest weight is reduced by 46%; clearly that must not be true for all teams. https://www.nhl.com/islanders/news/nhl-and-adidas-unveil-new-uniforms-for-2017-18-season/c-290025042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AParrotLooksAt40 Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) Apparently Hawks/Bruins WC sweaters unveiled tomorrow... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.secondcityhockey.com/platform/amp/2018/11/7/18073320/blackhawks-bruins-to-unveil-2019-winter-classic-jerseys The teasers look like there is some felt lettering and chain stitching in the crest. Hard to tell on my tiny phone. Edited November 7, 2018 by AParrotLooksAt40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Both are very sharp. I like them...but I absolutely LOVE the shamrock patch in honor of Notre Dame. I just can't help but think the Bruins ones would have looked a lot better with brown instead of black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockey Bob Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Are you sure it isn't a dark brown? I thought it was black until your pic of them side by side. Maybe I'm old and blind but.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the jerseys, I like the design of the Hawks but the black and white color scheme is boring. I love the Bruins and hope the crest is felt.

Hockey Bob Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I do think the Bruins one looks better standing alone but I'm betting on ice / in action I'll like the looks of the Hawks more. I just like that both are a nod to the styles of long ago. That NHL 19 concept one looks like someone cut up a poncho ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been out of the jersey game since the Adidas hit. Used to get everything from the Baron, it's a shame that we can't get them any longer.

scarchelli Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 I've been out of the loop too for some time now. So how does it work with addias now? Are there replicas, indo authentics and then made in canada authentics? I'm guessing it's just one type of jersey sold everywhere which is made in Indonesia and made in Canadas are not able to be bought anywhere.

Biscuit In The Basket Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Question for those who've bought an Adidas Indo or MIC. Are the Adidas Indo's and MIC's about the same size in 52 as the 2.0's? Might have to settle for an Indo but don't want to play the guessing game with sizes. Thanks!

Retail authentics are made in Indonesia although the quality is more like old Reebok Premiers. Fanatics sells ‘premier’ style jerseys that are more like long sleeve shirts. Game worn jerseys are made in Canada and totally different quality/material than Indo stuff. Only available as game worn/team issued when you can find them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonsRoad Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Don’t see too many people here post about the Winnipeg Jets, but I figured I’d share; Jets Gear (the official team retailer) has Canadian authentics available for the navy blue home and new Aviator blue alternate jerseys. The smallest size they have is 50, the biggest is 58. They retail for $450 Canadian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
