Florida Panthers new logo/jersey

not sure if I like them, seem very European...

I like em...they kinda remind me of a more polished team canada uniform from the last olympics.

Meh I don't hate em but I just love their old crest. Just me.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I like them a lot, but very Sens-esque, and I'll miss the old jerseys.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

So will the jerseys be under the Adidas brand starting next year?

Think the deal starts 2017-18.
But as part of it they got the World Cup deal.
Found it and I remembered right.

Still mad they switched over to that garbage company. Basically every school who went with Adidas ultimately regretted it. Notre Dame, Michigan and Tennessee all took less money to move to Nike (UM & UT) and Under Armour (ND)

I like them a lot. They're really sharp. I'll always have a soft spot for their Vanbiesbrouk era jerseys, but this is a really good refresh, and with the whole uniform, it still feels like the Panthers.

Nah, not a fan of them, like you say, they look a bit European.

Pens have shut out the Sharks big boys so far, and have a 2-0 lead. See if Crosby and company can keep that up.

It's really no change at all since Adidas is the parent company to Rebok anyway. And it is my understanding they were going to be switching most branding that way anyway.

The NHL chased the dollar, and from what I read the bid by Adidas was quite large, much more than Nike or UA were offering. Adidas is trying to give their brand some cred by aligning with the NHL, it won't help.

the new Panthers logo is sweet, reminds me of a Euro soccer jersey

Adidas has more than enough "cred" to go around, money too. Right now they're way more popular than Nike, Reebok, and UA.

I like them, but as many have said...

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Dustin Brown has claimed another victim.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Dustin Brown has supernatural powers and people want the Kings to get rid of him.

 

[The Night King]

I hope the pens sweep and get the playoffs over with already.

Speaking of potential sweeps... When was the last time there was a sweep in the Final?

Florida Panthers maybe?

I believe 18 years ago when the Wings beat the Caps.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Rangers would have swept the Kings but the refs got in the way

Refs were too high a cap hit for the Kings these last few seasons.

 

[CowMix]

Rangers would have swept the Kings but the refs got in the way

On the flip side, a competent ice crew away from a sweep.

 

[kingsfan28]

So it's Saturday night on NBC, and they're showing re-runs of Dateline and some chessy comedy instead of the SCF. What happened to all the games on NBC?

Especially in ot. How dare they give 6 pp to the Rangers.
