Another thing with these jerseys that I have a problem with is the not just the logo on the jersey, its the entire design on the jersey. Take Dallas for an example, I loved their old jersey with the half star design on the bottom. Now look at it, their home jersey looks like a black turtle neck. Who came up with that lame design? I mean seriously when the NHL changed that jersey did they look at the two and compare and say to themselves about the new jersey,”Wow, now that is going to boost our TV ratings by about 10%!. And it looks so much better I mean all black! Wow Gary Betman your the greatest guy in the world!” Leave the jerseys alone! The NHL also said that the new jerseys would increase speed. I have not seen a difference.

Ya I don’t really like the new edge jerseys for many reasons. For starters, they look like the players are wearing a long sleeve shirt that is two sizes to small for them. Another reason is they look to flashy. The NHL changed to many things with the logos. I am a San Jose Sharks fan and I don’t mind the change of the logo as much as others but what bothers me is what’s the point of changing the logo? Honestly I wish the NHL would just go back to the traditional CCM and KOHO jerseys. If they want to get more popular, then tell Gary Bettman to sign a deal with ESPN instead of a channel that shows fishing, bull riding, and hunting.

I play hockey. I own many jerseys. I wear the RBK Edge practice jersey because its the best performance wear. As for the fashion show, who cares, come game time wear the team jersey.

This is just another of Bettman’s dubious ideas. Reebok in HOCKEY? Obviously, their cheque was bigger than CCM’s. I am not falling for this blatant merchandising cash grab by the BBHL (Bettman Basketball Hockey League). I’ve got my authentic 1989 Flames jersey, and an even earlier Leafs jersey. I’ll continue to wear those at games, and to heck with the marketers.

While I’m at it, how ’bout having the same rules for at least 2 seasons in a row? Hockey will never go mainstream in the Excited States, so at the risk of sounding like Don Cherry, give the purists what they want.

Look…everyone is bashing these jerseys. Even i was skeptical, but they honestly just look like jerseys from the 50’s and 60’s….i think they look awesome!

Everyone loves bashing them because no one is happy with ANYTHING thats new. i think Vancouvers vintage look is way better than the blue ones of the last few years. And i also think the islanders look great as well. very simplistic and un-pretentious.

While im not happy with RBK being in the NHL, i think they deserve a thumbs up for bringing back the old-time hockey look and for what theyve done with the new jerseys.

hey lou what do you know about how the nhl works when ur only 14, like you must either have no other life cause all you do is hocley, or your just trying to make yourself seem smart by pointing out the obvious… like any fan, or player as you say knows gary bettman is a dumbass. second i have no idea where this boycott the nhl came from, you guys are idiots… most jerseys have minor tweaks to them and the teams that changed did cause that franchise decided to themselves. the original 6 have all remained the same so save your breath about “preserving the tradition and all that crap”. third why the fuck does any fan care about what the jersey is made out of? your not the ones wearing the jersey so your opinion of the rbk edge jersey doesnt matter and rlly most people dont care. most of the players love the new jerseys.

ROB, …. I agree… they look like crap!!! Chad – play a game and NOT be just a fan…. be a player!
I think that GARY is getting off on the fact that people listen to him. I mean the guy is bonehead, the new uniforms are another one of Gary’s / RBK’s idea of re-branding the game that was doing fine, besides the war between the millionaire and billionaires, but it is becoming an OVER EXPOSED MARKET- now with Crosby & RBK every 10 seconds…. Sure the guy plays hockey, but can we get out of his A** for 5 mins so he can really do something. Lindros was supposed to be something or someone, Jagr too, Tangey and the list goes on…. RBK needs to cool it… I am not buying any of their crap, I am not 14 yrs old being pressured to buy it over priced, over exposed merchanise.
