One thing that caught my attention is just how many variations of neck laces Adidas included in these. I counted no less than 5 lace styles among the home jerseys, some of which are only being used by a single team.
Three straight laces, no loose strings
- Anaheim
- Arizona
- Buffalo
- Calgary
- Minnesota
1 straight lace & 2 crossed laces, loose strings
- Boston
- Carolina
- Dallas
- New York Islanders
- New York Rangers
- San Jose
- Toronto
2 crossed laces, no loose strings
- Florida
1 straight lace, loose strings
- Montreal
1 straight lace, 4 crossed laces, no loose strings
- Winnipeg
I actually find the styles without the loose laces look a lot better this time around. The loose laces just look too short to my eyes, looks like someone broke the original lace and tossed a random spare they had laying around onto the jersey.
The styles without the loose laces just look more "finished" to my eyes.
