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

[tarheelhockey]

The only reasonable explanation is that the band just didn't mention that they'd already sold a version to another team.

I can't believe they got 1 team to sign up for it, let alone 2. Yeesh

Here's the thing. You damn well know we'll hear our version on repeat this season as part of the anniversary celebration. Especially on the 12 nights we are wearing the red uniform.

And it'll be horrifically stuck in my head for another 25 years

It would be cool if they did some sort of retrospective on game-opening intros from years past. 25 seasons, there are only 41 home games. Start with the 1998 intro format and work your way forward in time, then roll out a new intro for game 25 and beyond. The very next game is the actual 25th anniversary celebration with all the bells and whistles, so the timing is perfect.

As long as they bring back RoboStormy, all will be good.

They should steal a piece of design from every team. One team to troll them, one team to bind, and one team own them all.

Oh absolutely. Unveil a new special event jersey every year that blatantly rips off a design motif from someone else.

Year 1 - Rangers diagonal text
Year 2 - Pens triangle with Stormy
Year 3 - Oak leaf with Carolina Hurricanes text inside
Year 4 - the logo concept I had earlier that has the flags inside the C making a C H
Year 5 - Blackhawks striping on the white jersey
etc

Damn it! You know someone in marketing reads these boards, as cool as it sounds my closet (and my wallet) isnt big enough for new unis every year.

What if they just have mascot Stormy get stuck in the Zamboni like in O'Neils story about being here!

…and in the rink grind them.

That's where am I. It looks the same to me. Not that that's a bad thing, but it doesn't live up to the hype of a major anniversary, IMO.

It’s the original jersey. It’s the 25th anniversary of the team. It’s a throwback jersey. I’m confused at your confusion.

Is it different from last year’s red jersey? I’m not a jersey guy … at all … if someone asked me, I’d say it’s the same.

Thank you. I just looked at last year‘s jersey, and I can spot the differences now, but frankly, the changes are so minor (to me) and both versions so inoffensive that it really doesn’t make too much of a difference.

For me, there’s basically been two versions of the home jersey. The one with the shoulder pipings that everyone hated and everyone (including me) is glad they’re gone, and the one without that piping

So are we still getting a reverse retro jersey and a stadium series jersey?

 

[Svechhammer]

Yes, there will be 5 or 6 jerseys for us this year.

 

[CandyCanes]

Sweet. Wasn't sure if they were considering this part of the reverse retro. Guess we got...

Black home
Away
25th anniversary
Reverse retro
Stadium
Whalers

I like that we're getting more than just the 2-3 same jerseys all season.

Yep, the Whalers is the only one that I'm not 100% sure about. There is a Whalers Night on the calendar already, but is that going to be a Whalers jersey, or using the ReverseRetro2.0 as the Whalers.

My guess is RR will be the Whalers, but we'll see.

 

[Canes]

I thought I was pretty unobservant but even I knew the home jersey has been different (maybe not drastically so depending on how much you pay attention to detail) from the classic home jerseys for awhile now. I think everyone would probably realize the difference between the home jersey of the dark years and the other home jerseys we've ever used though.

 

[CandyCanes]

Alright so Toronto got "Milk" as their jersey sponsor, obviously not ideal, but kind of fun, and blends well with the jersey. When the inevitable Canes jersey sponsor happens, who do we hope is our sponsor?

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i unironically love the milk sponsorship

and i hate milk

Pork.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I hate the idea of any ads on uniforms at all but if they must happen that's about as reasonable as it gets. Hopefully ours is something similar where it's not clearly an obvious ad and blends well. Lenovo is my expectation though, could be worse but not great if so

 

[raynman]

If I was a billionaire I would pay a team to put a cool patch on their sweater. But I would consult you guys before coming up with said patch.

 

[Unsustainable]

Back in the ECHL days, teams would warm up with advertising jerseys.

 

[Svechhammer]

Pork.

[Svechhammer]

Hearing some rumors that the Reverse Retro this year is going to be Hurricanes branded, and not a Whalers jersey.
