Was just in Montreal and coul have bought Koivu’s jersey for $50- all numbered and sewn up. But I refuse to buy this Reebok rubbish. There is no reason to have the NHL logo shown in the collar at all- that’s just a pointless, thoughtless addition to a sacred uniform. And it’s NHL (with the hateful new logo)- not LNH. The League sticks another two fingers up at the French Canadians who have contributed so much to the sport. Then the back has Reebok splashed over the name- compare with CCM and you will see dignity versus sheer greed.
Nope. Bought a replica Richard CCM jersey. $70. So there.

The Italian national soccer team (Kappa) came up with this tight fit look, after this Nike started to manufacture tight fits for the national hockey teams.
Dont get me wrong, I dont wanna say the European-soccer-look sucks, but it does when you force it in North American hockey which has its own proud history in apparel, too bad Gary Bettman is the kinda idiot letting this happen, he only thinks about money.
Im very dissapointed, lucky me I just got a new “old style” Rangers blueshirt, looks like I won`t be buying a new hockey jersey for a while. The tight fit and logo on the collar, its butt ugly.

I totally agree that the original six should not be touched. Being a diehard Canadians fan the jersey should be sacred and untouchable!

So has anyone taken a look at the vintage third jersey of the habs. I love that jersey, I mean its not my favourite but that would be what you call a radical change. The only change I see that Rbk has made is in the neck and I’m not a big fan but come on folks. They didnt touch the colours, they didn’t tough the crest, and they didn’t end up looking like bloody soccer jerseys. I will say that the whole wind resistance stay dry “technology” is a load of bs though.

I don’t like the NHL logo on the neck of all the new jerseys.

wow these are only ideas based on what fans thought they might be so stop getting bent outta shape over a concept. second montreal doesnt let rbk design there own jersey, like you people are idiots ofcorse montreal and rbk work TOGETHER to design a jersey. and yes the original 6 teams should keep the same jerseys and judging by what boston, new york and detroit have done thats probably the leagues intention… why dont you think this through next time

I hate the Habs, always will, but will always respect the legacy of greatness. Don’t mess with tradition. Let the idiot NHL newbie teams mess around with hockey jerseys that look stupid but the original Six should be mandated to stand pat. Show some respect.

I don’t mind change, the thing about the new uniforms is that they have the cookie cutter format and lacks the creativity the original uniforms have. If you’re going to try something go all out seems like a brutal way to boost jersey sales. Reebok dropped the ball in the CFL 9 teamss and they used 2 patterns, cheap and a insult to the organizations and to the fans, and shame on the league for accepting it.The NBA has went the same route with Addias, look at the warm ups. It’s pretty sad when all the teams end up looking the same because it’s cost effective

This is atrocious. Every single one of the new jerseys I’ve seen are absolutely awful. I read in The Hockey News that no player has ever complained about getting too wet in a game, and the wind resistance slowing them down. These designs I’ve seen are ugly and all the vertical lines on the arms look stupid. Gary Bettman is ruining the game for a lot of fans.

People have too realize, this is only a concept, and based on some of the concepts I’ve seen compared too the real jerseys (Boston, Washington), These won’t be happining. and if they do,theres no one to get mad at but the Montreal Canadiens them self, they would be the ones designing them. Now, I’m all for change but, lets hope it ends up like how the bruins changed they’res, minimal.
