You're all right. I guess the hateful comments that always show up on every facebook post and twitter post involving the jersey's are just the same sad little group of fans who won't stop.

You aren't familiar with terms like silent majority? Just because someone is vocal on social media, doesn't mean they speak for a majority.

The league switched jersey producers and there's outrage? Shocking. Funny how Reebok is now considered the standard when there was unanimous hatred of all things Reebok after the league switched over to them.

Yes I’m still here to piss you off

I tell ya, the lengths some of you are going to make it like people don't hate the jerseys puts you in the same category as that "sad group of fans" that do hate on it at every post.

I was under the impression that the majority of the fanbase isn't on social media.

You can't be this naive to think the people that ***** on Facebook represent a majority of the fanbase?

These are the same folks saying we should trade Nico and go beg Kovy to come back.

So the authentics and the replicas have very different collars. Anyone seen a Devils replica yet?

I don't understand your point here. That is literally every fanbase in every sport in the world. You have literally just described every fanbase from the Yankees down to the Atlanta Hawks.

Everybody is online now. Everybody. This isn't 2010 when your post could have been accurate. This is 2017. There are 2 billion active Facebook accounts. Twitter has over 300 million, Instagram almost 400 million.

You call me naïve for thinking that online posts represent a majority of the fanbase? I call you naïve for thinking that the fanbase isn't like that. Do you go to games? Do you hear what people talk about while there? The amount of awful comments and idea's I've heard sitting in a seat at the rock surrounded by STHs are as absurd if not morso then on facebook.

Just had a white Addidas Devils jersey in my hands at the arena. I actually really like it. The red one not so much.

Those Vegas jerseys are hideous. And I still think the logo looks more like a condom company logo than an NHL logo.

I got to see them in action during warmups and I actually hate them more seeing them in person. The equal stripes on the arms and socks are absolutely terrible. Having nothing on the bottom makes them look so empty. Major fail for me. That's my opinion and I posted it in here where it belongs instead or the game thread. because I can't ever see liking these. I still cant believe what honored Colorado with the equal stripes and Kansas with the collar and the Newark who gives a ****s with the pointless black line you can't see.

The Reebok jerseys were AWFUL too, but for a different reason, the style/cut, whereas the new Devils jerseys are awful because of what they did to the actual appearance, which is ugly.

The old CCM/Koho jerseys were the last NHL jerseys that actually looked like hockey jerseys.

This. They actually don't look that bad on ice

Agreed. The no waist stripes actually aren't that noticeable to me watching on the app. The extra wide white stripes are noticeable though, so maybe my eyes are just being distracted there instead.

Jerseys didn't look awful, better with numbers definitely

I don't get the hate for the Vegas jersey. I love them, they just look really nice to me

I don't mind the jerseys. I actually like the darker shade of red. Seems a tad darker. Its really not a big deal. Obviously its a downgrade but I'm over it.

Still bad for me, looked worse now seeing them broadcast with full arena lighting and HD. The equally wide bands just throw me off.

I love them. The ONLY thing I don't like about it is the white gloves with grey jerseys. If you NEED to do white gloves just wear them with the white jerseys. They stand out too much with the grey jerseys.


I can't believe people are saying that our jerseys are distracting or throwing them off. Like that's really something that will distract you or take away from watching the game?
