Interesting that only the black jersey is shown. But it's probably going to be the same road jerseys as well

I love that someone pointed out all these promotional photos for the jerseys were done at the warehouse where they're mass producing them. Just a half-assed effort. Vintage Fanatics.

Half assed effort isn't necessarily a Fanatics thing, it's right in the wheelhouse for the NHL as well

Is it the lighting or is the grey on the shoulders lighter than before? I’ve always thought the grey there was redundant as once the game gets going you can’t even really tell the difference between the grey and the black… but if it is lighter and more noticeable it may actually be worse

Tough to tell from the picture, lighting definitely not helping.

Can't be worse than what happened in baseball, right? Right??!!

Looks to be the lighting.

I mean it's being made in the same factory with the same materials. If Fanatics changed it, that's would be hilariously Fanatics

I dunno, I know a lot of puck bunnies that would prefer if hockey suddenly got see-through jerseys.

Man, I have had to must large swaths of Canes twitter because it has been completely overrun with thirsty women and horny gay men. Every picture of a player that the team posts had dozens of comments about how beautiful or f***able said player is.

See, I'm of two ways about this. Because I'm fairly certain r/Canesfics started as a joke based off the numerous comments the players had about Skinner and how "baby faced" he was, etc. But now I think it's evolved into something real, where there's actual thirst fics about the players. Either that or it's become such a parody that it's indistinguishable from the real thing.

People are weird, I assume it's a combination of the two.

These came out looking much better than I expected.

I like how much space the front logo takes up. Feels right

Its a refresh of their most famous look. There's nothing to hate about them.

I know some will hate that it doesn't have any purple or gold in it, but those jerseys in the 90s were iconic. It hit mainstream sportswear in the same vein that Hornets gear did, and they never should have abandoned it.

I am really hoping we do something similar with our next iteration. A refinement of our 2006 jerseys is exactly what we need.

I didn't watch hockey a ton when they were in these jerseys, so no nostalgia for me. I at most might have played a video game with them or caught an occasional game. They weren't really my favorite as far as when I saw them on the hockey cards I collected or anything. And I do really like the purple and gold look better. But these came out looking clean and cool. It's another black kit, but it's quite well done. It gives hope for all the rebrands that are being teased for the 25-26 season.

Meh

Orange is my favorite color, and those are pretty meh to me as well. Could have been worse, could have been better.

What's with the cumberbund?

What's with the cumberbund?

They kings yo. Gotta be fancy and shit.

What's with the cumberbund?

That's not a cumberbund; they've got a new jersey advertising deal with Chevrolet.

Found this bad boy for $50 at a pop-up thrift store sale in Winston. One of the real deal ones too

 

[Blueline Bomber]

These are sick.
