Any of you guys know what the thinking was behind the jersey design feature of a few years ago where a bunch of teams looked like their jersey was an apron?

What was the rationale for such a striking (and weird IMO) design choice? And why did only some teams have it and not others?

Because Reebok designed them that way. Here are some blogposts I found after a quick search:

I might be alone but I really enjoyed the Reebok 2007-2008 -> jerseys. I think it was called Reebok Edge? Loved the Flyers jerseys

He’s talking about the Reebok Edge jersey template that had seams along the sides of the torso, that a lot of teams highlighted as piping.

IMO, these designs were hot burning garbage that violated basic principles of what a hockey jersey looks like. I was hoping they would at least age well but they have not.
