Uh… let's go jazz?
This winter classic looking mid
Toronto Torch in french is… realy not great. Les Torches de Toronto is more like a insult then a name
Screw the Canes……..all just a money grab.
Commenting before the answer is revealed, the other two teams that wear red helmets are the Red Wings and Flames =)
Love the harvard jerseys
As a Kraken fan, I’ve become more cynical about the branding. It annoys me to no end that there is no white whatsoever in the jersey and logo. You need to have some balance to make everything pop and work together, which is why I really like the Winter Classic jersey. In terms of the bordering, it doesn’t work for the Kraken because the boarder is too big. On a dark blue background, the logo feels wiry and in pieces. If they maybe had a small white trim with the dark blue outline, I think it’ll look better.
I feel like the NHL delayed their launch of the jerseys but some people that got them already decided to wear them anyways
I love the Kraken jerysey but feel like Vegas kinda dropped the ball
Once again, Seattle absolutely knocks it out of the park (rink?).
I was wondering why the Wings had Fastenal on their helmets instead of Meijer. I'm glad their typical buckets at least use a red ad logo, hate seeing these ads that clash with the branding.
Honestly we used to call this gorilla marketing- this is a welcome change from the NHL’s normally bland promotional strategy. I’m going to the give Seattle’s jersey the benefit of the doubt- let’s see how it looks with number and name plates- hopefully it puts it all together. As for Vegas, meh, I see the West Pointe reference but other than that- where the Vegas glam?
I think this is the worst set of WC in a long time. I think the Kraken should have had the Metro colours, with that same S.
Vegas is just boring imo.
They both should have had strings on the collar.
I think both jerseys are fine. I don’t have too many issues with them. Although I do agree, I didn’t understand the oatmeal color for the Kraken. I didn’t think it was necessary. And yeah they could’ve used their other blue color, probably would worked better. I bet their number kit is going to be red too. Maybe just me, but does the negative space between the V on Vegas’s jersey look like it’s in the shape of the metal/tip of a spear?
NHL and there television partner, Time Warner cable working hand-in-hand in the showcase. In all honesty I wonder if the New York Rangers Icelanders, devils, and Flyers will do the same on the collision or dynamite, or during a pay-per-view in the month of December major exposure this way
THIS is what the Kraken should have done with their RR 2.0. I love how they went back to the metropolitans look.
If these leaks were on purpose, I kinda like it, but obviously you can't always do it.
Why do you hate vintage white so much
There was also a player for the NFL Raiders that wore the Vegas jersey
I vote Adidas has given up. They dont have a contract moving forward so why not swing and miss on everything this year.
The NHL just can’t stop clowning. Nothing will change until Bettman is gone, which is even funnier.
Regarding the Kraken logo… I actually don't like that Maple Leafs and Lightning have different color logo for home and away. A successful logo should look good on any background and can be readable I'd it's in black and white.
Very excited for the pwhl
I was right! The flames and red wings were the only ones to come to mind tbh
Hurricanes im tired of you not making the whalers jersey red and black you cowards
These videos always are they best they can be.
Also I can’t wait to see the future of PWHL jerseys. Will they keep a universal theme across all teams going forward. Work marks are lame, but it’s cool how to the whole league has one look. You won’t be able to see a PWHL game and not know immediately what league it is!
PWHL failed hard with their jersey and name reveal. Absolutely Brutal
Naturally, as soon as I publish this video, the NHL finally released the jerseys OFFICIALLY! I’ll have a new video on that soon. Let me ask you… should I do a ✨ranking✨ of all the Adidas Winter Classic designs? Any interest in that?
I absolutely agree with you about the Kraken jersey. I like the red S and that's about it. And I normally like the barber poll look.
I’m not a fan of Blasty, but if it has to be used, the side version is way better.
The design team with the Wranglers are absolutely killing it. Love the looks they offer!
As a lifelong Whalers fan…New England in the WHA and Hartford in the NHL, I can’t stand the reinvention of Whalers merchandise. Chris, please remind everyone the H is for Hartford. Perhaps the Hurricanes can look to the Ice Caps, Clippers etc for future third unis.
Someone pointed out that the Vegas crest looks like someone double-flipping the bird, and now I can’t unsee it 😂
Great vid as always!
Pucky's back.🐳
I honestly love the Seattle jersey and its the Vegas one I find boring. Just a speculation here, we are in the last year of Adidas making the jerseys, they might've have reduced the budget or the amount of people working on them and that's we are getting more simple and blend jerseys?
With the Kraken jersey, I'm torn on the lack of red in the jersey and it feels like Adidias stretched the stripes too much
Everything about the PWHL seems like it's being run by a bunch of buffoons. I hope it succeeds, but no other league or team would be given a pass for not having their branding set well in advance.
The Kraken logo is too high up
So, if the league just approved road teams wearing dark helmets as long as they don't clash – does that mean the Hurricanes had to get special permission last year? Or did the Leafs have to themselves get league permission?
The more I look at the Vegas jersey the more it grows on me. I liked the Seattle one from the start, although I see your point with the colors. There's no way that wasn't a planned "leak" though.
I think this should be Seattle's branding and primary jersey, absolutely fantastic! The ice blue really pops and the logo is a great callback to the Metropolitans. Great blending of past and present. A white away jersey with ice blue and navy blue stripes with the red S would look so clean.
Couldn't disagree more about adding more red, they'll just become another Winnipeg or Columbus… boring.
Am i the only one whos sorta let down by the Vegas jersey? I know theres not a lot of hockey history in Nevada but i was hoping they would do something like making the knights helmet logo vintage looking
If the PWHL needs time to flesh out their branding, then they shouldn't have bought out other women's leagues and tried to rush to start this year. Completely botched the launch of the league and I think it's going to make what was already going to be an uphill battle to get viewership even harder.
It was inevitable that the Kraken would bring in a barberpole design, but they dropped the ball by not using the Metropolitans' original colours – although, as I have stated before in a previous video, the Leicester Tigers might have said something about that.
I'm also intrigued by the news concerning the PWHL – I wonder who's making the jerseys?
And the Canes are releasing yet another Whalers jersey?? Are they desperate to go back to Hartford?
Vegas now has six jerseys in their history, and all of them are a different color!
What is the PWHL on? Boston Pride, Minnesota Whitecaps, New York Riveters, Toronto Six, names and colors you didn’t have to screw up laid out for you. Salt in the wound of cutting out half the teams in the merger
I like Seattle's uniform, but I honestly would have liked to see a 1 to 1 replica of the barber pile Metropolitans jersey. I thought it was unique when the Canadiens did it. I struggle with Vegas because they really don't have much of a hockey history, but I'm negatively biased towards them anyways so, Seattle gets the W lmaooo.
