Red Wings' New Jerseys Revealed
The Red Wings have an ad on their home page now for reserving the new-style team jerseys. Included is the following photo...
And we can all breathe a sigh of relief.
There are a few small changes here and there. The white stripe at the bottom of the red jersey seems thicker to me and the red stripe on the white jersey looks a little lower. I can't tell if the shoulder "notches" are still on the white jersey, I'll miss them if they're gone but it won't look bad either way.
The big change is the collar, with the NHL going the NFL route and adding the league logo there. I think the laced collar sported by Boston (and others) looks better than the standard collar that the Wings went with but since Detroit didn't have a laced collar to begin with, I can see why they didn't go with one this time.
So we end up with the same basic design, which is 100% fine by me. No needless piping or overdone striping or combinations of the two. Yep, good enough for me.

I agree. Basically the same jersey and logo, which I like. Characteristic original six, simplistic.

They're livable, but I have to be pessimistic and say... I liked the other ones 132351x better

xD The stripes. I dunno, it's just, it bothers me. But I guess it's cause I'm not used to it. In time it will be better, that's how it was for me at first with the red jersies. I thought they were positively gaudy, but at the end of the season I think I liked them better. (with the huge white stripe on the new red jersy the white ones are better!)
I don't like on the red one how long the white stripe on the bottom is, and I don't like how small the white strips on the arms are, they are in a nice place, just too skinny. I absolutely hate the logo on the collar. Actually, from this picture, I don't like the colalr much at all.
Too sum it all up, I hate where the stripes are placed and their height. x] And the collar just makes me sad, hockey should go nowhere the NFL goes(<--Extremely dislikes football)
