The apron jersey trend

[senseimike]

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?

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.

Straight up horrible design.

These were horrendous. Didn't Calgary keep their Edge design like 5 years longer than everyone else too?

Can we please not talk about these times?

Ugliest era of jerseys ever. Reebok tried to outdo things and leave their mark by completely pissing on the traditional aesthetic of the game.

Now that the Ducks have moved on, the Caps are the only team that still have some kind of vertical design going on. Couple that with a wordmark instead of an actual logo and to me they have the worst jersey in the league. Unfortunately , career will always keep those in the collective memory.
