Penguins new jerseys: http://penguins.nhl.com/team/app/?servi ... eryId=2272

Not much different from last year's jerseys at all. Sid probably put his foot down: When Sid talks, Reebok listens!

Take care,

Not that I feel sorry for the Ducks but both Niedermayer & Selanne haven't made up their mind yet as to what to do this season. Maybe they'll pull a Roger Clemens and comeback half way in 08.

Canes Jerseys (previewed in trailers for NHL 08 but officially released now): http://nhllogos.blogspot.com/2007/09/hu ... forms.html

Another one without that big of a change other than the shoulder piping, which looks GAY on all jerseys. Maybe all the hideous, garish new sweaters were revealed first, and the NHL and its teams are saving the best for last.

One can only hope!

Take care,
PK

the piping isn't TOO bad... but so far...the new jerseys have pretty much SUCKED.

montreal and boston's look good...

pit is ok...should have just kept what they had..

rest look like s***.

I think the Canes look pretty good. Boston looks the best so far and even Montreal with their classic uni's sort of blew it....they should have gone with the tie down...no excuse to not go with the tie down.
I know the Blues are going to have the striping on the jersey like the Canes and several others but they also have a stripe on their pants...i've seen the pants and you can pretty much tell that stripe is going to lineup with stripes on the jersey. Not happy about it but what can you do...

the white's aren't too bad...

I'm not so sure PK is going to like those new oiler jerseys. I don't have a pic but I see them in NHL 08....I'm thinking not.

They blow...just my 2 cents. Vertical piping should be banned.

Yep, saw those screens at the NHL Tournament of Logos blog. I'm not keen on them at all. I don't mind the simplicity, but yes, the vertical piping is HIDEOUS.

They look like practice jerseys designed by Halston. No thanks.

And why doesn't the arm striping encircle the entire arm? That looks GAY as hell.

Take care,
PK

I'm still trying to figure out how the Oilers logo beat out the Blackhawks logo on that Logo Blog.

Those new Oil jerseys are terrible but still not as bad as the Isles new ones or Buffalo's.

Gangrel · Post by **Gangrel** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 6:32 pm

I agree, I don't like the new Oil Jerseys at ALL. Maybe they will look a bit better in "real life" but I doubt it. So, both teams I follow have crappy jerseys, nice! (The Sens also look like practice jerseys)

Scoop:

Even though my love of the Oil permeates my bone marrow, I agree. The Blackhawks' logo isn't just one of the best in hockey; it's one of the best in North American professional sports.

I do think the Blackhawks logo is better than the Oilers logo, simply because it looks "classic". However the Oilers logo may have won that poll for a few reasons. 1) more crazy Canadians were voting in that poll than Blackhawk fans, just a hunch. 2) Although it's not as bad as the Cleveland Indians logo it can still easily be seen as offensive and racist. It's a stereotypical characterization of a Native American.

Am I the only one that likes the Islanders new jerseys? I think they look great. More orange was needed and even the logo looks better. I really like what the Islanders did.

They went from this

to this...

Yeah but this:

Doesn't look as bad as these do:

Those are pretty ugly IMO.

The Isles' sweaters are the worst among the new unis. Hideous. The best unis are the most simple ones. The Isles' sweaters look like something out of a high school production of "Godspell."

I love the Islanders new uni's. The Sens are the worst..

Probably, with the exception of the Dallas home and both Vancouver sweaters. The Dallas one looks even more high-schoolish than Vancourver. Totally brutal.

Blues are also among the worst IMO, but I kinda like the new SJ, even if it looks like nothing like their stuff from years past.

Remember, it could be worse...

The blues could've tried to resurrect this:

I dislike the NYI unis and the Canucks have the worse jersey among Canadian teams.
