White one should have been yellow. I also thought they might have division logos of some sort.

It says in the link that each team will receive both a home and away jersey. So every team dressed the same it appears.

So much better than last year's 1992 road hockey jerseys.

They should have done 4: Blue, white, grey, and yellow.

As long as the grey was sufficiently lighter than the blue and darker than the white, every match-up would have enough contrast to easily tell them apart.

Could not hate them more. Totally lame. Have some flash, it's a 3v3 all star game for crying out loud.

The striping is hideous, but the overall look is a dramatic improvement over recent years.

I agree, they should have a different jersey for each team, seems lame that they don't.

I think 4 jerseys would have been a much better idea but even with these, I would have liked if they went with the orange/brown that's on the NHL logo and made it look more old school.

They're fine, but with an All-Star game I love wild and crazy.

They tried that last year, and I guess they didn't like the overall feedback they received.

A revamp of the one I remember most would be awesome:

When did the NHL logo go from orange to yellow trim?

This would be my only gripe too. Maybe the real deal will be more of an orange shade too. The orange would look a lot better than this faded yellow colour.

Overall, the return to a simple design is a huge improvement. These jersey look like actual hockey jerseys. Many of the recent ones have either looked like practice jerseys or AHL/European jerseys.

They probably used yellow because the Predators are hosting the game and yellow is their primary colour (puke).

I don't mind the jersey, but cannot believe that they did not do a different jersey for each division. Blue, Red, Yellow, Green.

I like the twist to put the flavour of the host team into the jersey.

The Nashville yellow and the guitar pick neck are nice touches.

4 jerseys would have been a nicer touch though, guessing that the jerseys were decided upon before the decision to move to 3v3, and they didn't have time to get 2 more designs out into production, can't have a division wearing jerseys that fan's aren't able to buy in a store.

Think they look a little bland now, but jerseys always look bland before the name bar, numbers, and team logo shoulder patch are added. If they are busy before all that is added then it just looks like a cluster once it's all there.

The NHL hasn't used the orange logo since the lockout ended a decade ago. The yellow is the Predators' colour.
