This article has a photo of the practice jerseys for next year ,and as noted prior, the 3 stripe design under the arm will be on each jersey. Also, the design of the world Cup jerseys will be something they'd like to do, citing the collar on the practice jersey is the same as the World Cup ones

The neckline, specifically, is interesting because it meshes with what was worn during the World Cup of Hockey, which was the first glimpse fans got of what Adidas jerseys may look like when they make their debut next season. The iconic brand designed jerseys for each of the tournament’s eight squads, and the Canadian, American, Finnish and Czech uniforms each had a similar design, with the block of color stopping midway through the collar instead of continuing down to the WCH logo. That is mimicked on the Penguins jersey, with the white portion of the collar stopping before it reaches the NHL logo.

I wonder how they're going to do our bottom stripes. On the World Cup jerseys the Adidas stripes broke up the large bottom stripe but didn't for the trim (we have the same setup on our home and aways but reversed colors).

^^^^ there is NOTHING good about these jerseys. :shakehead

If their task was to design the ugliest jersey possible, they would have to really work at it to make these worse.
 
If we take our current striping and design, and combine it with the adidas World Cup of Hockey template, we might get something like this. I wonder if we're going to have to redesign a little, like remove the shoulder stripes so it doesn't get too visually busy. I noticed all the World Cup of Hockey jerseys were much simpler:

You guys think Montreal, New York, Detroit or Chicago would ruin their classic jerseys with those stripes? I highly doubt they would.

Didn't they learn their lesson with the awful sweeping changes that were made when Reebok introduced the Edge redesigns?

I don't think they would either, but do they really have any choice? If the league allows Adidas to incorporate the stripes (a hallmark of their brand) into their jersey design, then I can't imagine some teams will be allowed to decline that feature, while other teams can't or won't. For the sake of league uniformity, I would think that either all teams will have the stripes, or none.

don't mind these as much as I thought I would. Could stand to lose the piping going down the shoulders though.
 
Strange that it has the 100th patch on it since Adidas isn't doing this year's jerseys, but I wouldn't be shocked if they wound up looking very similar to that.

Someone should contact the guy and ask him where he got it. Could be peddled from one of the counterfeit jersey sites.

From what I hear, the NHL will continue to use the 100th Anniversary patch throughout the beginning of the 2017/18 season, so most likely the Adidas jerseys will indeed have the patch.

The plot thickens!

That makes me think even more that this is what it will look like.

More...all from weird sites. Either they're all fake or Adidas is unloading prototypes to sketchy sites:

Looks like the Chinese have jumped in on the Adidas NHL jerseys first. When you get it the numbers will be bloated, off center, name plate will be crooked with a weird font but "you got a good deal on it" so that's all that matters to some fans which is a sad way to look at things. The key for these jerseys pictured is we don't know what the jerseys will look like yet so you have no idea what to compare it to for authenticity.
