I find that to be really babyish, but I guess that’s just me.
I love it, only other way the fan base can express themselves besides not spending money on it.

That sucks. Those are pretty cool looking. I would consider buying then if they were for sale normally.
Same, I'd even spend more knowing it's for charity and they could probably raise more money that way than just 1 single expensive auction but what the hell do I know lol
Same all of our current jerseys f***ing suck. I'll never get any of these. If only the reverse retros weren't absurdly expensive. I'd love to get one of them

Saw a bunch of New Jersey’s at the game.
I was really bleh on the jersey on first reveal but they looked totally fine in person. I still think the crest area isn’t great but the rest of the jersey works well live.

I think I kinda like it now? Actually looked great on Sal during the parade and has some character unlike our non-descript current regular jerseys.
I thought the opposite, I disliked it even more, looks so meh.

I fully agree that our current regular jerseys are the drizzling shits. They should have never messed with a classic.

I was there, it wasn’t just some people lol. The boos were louder than when the wild were introduced.
I think they should've messed with the classics and merged both our classic sets into one. Gimme the original template with black instead of green.

I'm weird on those; I don't really hate the currents, but they kind of feel like they were designed more for fans wearing them around casually than for working as well on the ice with full gear on. All honesty I think I actually dig the current away whites, but the home reds should've stuck with the classic striping.
All that said, lordy, I still wish I could get my hands on an authentic reverse retro. Bugs the hell out of me I've never had a shot at one.

I know there is some dislike for the new 3rds, but that boo'ing, seemed way out of place IMO.
I'm glad the team actually tried to put some thought into it, with the 21 stripes, etc. Why would fans not appreciate the team is trying to do something new for once, it it isn't all that awful. There have been plenty of very bad 3rd Jerseys in the NHL over 25 years. Fishsticks/fisherman, etc.
It wasn't full on boo, but there were pockets booing, and others cheering.
Because they are awful and ugly. I don't appreciate doing something new if that new thing is bad. Just like the regular jerseys. They tried to do something new and they made it new and bad.
I also find it weird that for a company who wants to make money off these things that they never produced anymore. Someone on njdevs posted a picture of an entire wall of PK 3rd jerseys yet they never made more of those retros that a lot of people seem to like. I'm not big on the green so I never bothered even trying to get one.
Picture for reference and I don't even get why they made so many PK ones, especially with him being a UFA after this season. Do they really think these are all gonna sell? Apparently he was the only name available, not Nico, Hughes, Hamilton, etc. Definitely an odd choice...

The lack of retros is the worst. Was that a league wide thing and the NHL and Adidas just completely f***ing dropped the ball? They're like impossible to find at a reasonable price and if I could I'd actually get one. Like the white retro one you can find for a good price but they just said f*** you for the reverse retros

Yes, that part i did find really strange. They gonna announce and go with a new alternate, they should at least get most of the top 6 forwards, or at least Hughes/Hischier/Zacha/Hamilton combo in stock locally. At least those guys are signed for a bit and more....
Ordering from shop.nhl.com with custom name/number (ie if you want lettering for Mercer, Zacha, Hamilton etc) they said delivery is mid-Dec on the order page as latest ship date, but when actually ordered one and so far now estimate is end December (not sure if that will change up or down).

I don't think it was a league wide issue, I think they just underestimated the demand for those and then they sold out rather quickly. I've said it before that I'm not huge on the green jerseys but at least that's actual Devils history, I'd take that any day over more nods to defunct teams that had absolutely nothing to do with the Devils like the Newark Bulldogs and the other 2 I don't give a shit to learn the names of and the Rockies and Scouts nods.

But there's plenty of fans that think they look fine/good as well, I spoke to number of them at arena. I don't see the need for our own fans to trash our team on this in front of our own players live like this, seems really petty.
Personally, I certainly don't dislike the new look, maybe could have been a little better with red strip shadow on some of the lines.... but not going to trash our management on this or whomever is PR'ing this...
But like then just make more lol. I think the green works great for 3rds but just not the mains.

Can someone please help me out with the 21 stripes?
I count five stripes on the sleeves, five stripes on the shoulders, one stripe at the bottom.

Shoulders count for each shoulder just like each sleeve counts. The shoulder stripes don’t touch across the back.
So it’s 5+5+5+5+1

5 on each shoulder (10)
5 on on each arm area (10)
1 at the bottom edge rim (1)
