OT: Which threads blow you away? The great jersey debate

Not sure I want my team to give me CCCP flashbacks.

This is all I see:

That OT goal gave me CCCP flashbacks

No surprises here.

Out of all the iterations the leaked stadium series is the worst in my opinion. It’s not even close

I wonder if the red helmets yesterday point to them using red helmets and pants with the black stadium game jersey?

That would be a choice.

Probably

Not us, but seems to confirm a bit of a two color theme.

 

[Svechhammer]

What if it's a color flip of the leak, where it's a red base with black stripes

this is legitimately my guess as well, though the leak being dead on wouldn't surprise me either

Well a slightly buzzkill comment on the upcoming stadium threads..

I preordered a customized reverse retro Slavin with Alternate A/25th patches on 11/6 from Carolina pro shop/The Eye.

Have yet to receive it.

Pretty disappointing we don’t have a stitching option local that could improve this turnaround. Kind of dulls the stadium unveil for me

I know this will be anathema to some, but this may be my favorite Canes look (outside of the Whalers throwbacks). If I analyze these there are a lot of cons, but I like the aesthetic on the ice. There is a method to my madness.

I don't like all red, period.
I just don't like the the Canes swirl crest and the flags crest seems unbalanced on the jersey (too thin?)
I like the blacks as alternates but like the brighter pop of the red jerseys.

Having said that, I'd hope the team could do even better. I'd like a good logo instead of lettering, just haven't seen one I really like yet. Until then, I wonder if these could be improved with a font that conveys speed / wind along the lines of one of the following:

 

[AD Skinner]

These look way too much like the Devils who are right there in our same division and who have been a historical and possibly forming into a current rival. Even the regular away whites these are based on with the diagonal lettering look too much like the rangers, who fall into the same category. I get that there's only so many colors to choose from and all that but the canes original look is much more distinctive.

official stadium series jersey?

If you like plain and unimaginative that is it.

At least it isn’t the smashville jersey.

If they wore red pants it would add some variety to current looks. Take a page out of the Junior Canes book. (I'd like to see how black lids look, though)

It's clean and classic. The "boring" jerseys generally age far better than the attention grabbing ones. Unless it's the New Storm jerseys, I guess.

As for LakeLivin's take, I can't say I'm in love with the on ice look with black pants, but I was at the Hawks game the other night and was really impressed with how those reverse alts looked in person as a standalone jersey. May have to get one of those.

official stadium series jersey?

I liked this version better. I don’t like how they added the grey/black in the striping on the arms.

That said I still find the jersey awesome and probably my most favorite Canes jersey of all time.

I mean this is the same jersey that was leaked 2 years ago, so it's been out there a while. Wouldn't be completely shocked if this was it, but I do wonder if they are going to tweak it a bit to differentiate a bit from that leak. I have noticed recent leaks don't have numbers on them, so maybe they've done some tweaking there.

I personally don't like red pants with the black jersey. Two dominant colors like that kind of fight each other when used like that in a way black pants on a red jersey dont. With that said, my best guess is that it's black jersey, red pants, red helmet.

It's the same jersey. You can see the heathered grey stripe below the shoulder numbers, but because the image was darkened, it's harder to make out.

Ahh, it appeared somewhat different I guess because the numbers were not on it and it was a darkened image to your point.

Edit:

this guy is trying to say there are subtle differences with the way it is constructed, just not in design really here. Who knows if it is right or not.

Ok so looking through the follow up tweets, the big difference between the two is that the patches have the Primegreen 3D treatment where the details are raised, and as such the shoulder flag patch is now black on black rather than black on grey.

I guess the new construction also has fabric that reflects more? Makes the heathered stripe and patches stand out more.

 

[AD Skinner]

Don't like it. I mean its not like a hideous affront to aesthetics its just blah. I don't really get leaning into grey/silver... it doesn't really contrast with the black enough to look like 2 different colors once the game gets going so its just kinda muddy

 

[Canes]

The only worse jerseys are the two from the dark years.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I like that style and would probably get one. But different stokes and all that.
