Based on all the images that have been released so far, the only one that appears to have any significant changes from last season is Minnesota adding a centre stripe.
Rumours of Buffalo going back to royal blue; the Senators going to their retrOs full time; and the Devils going back to red and green appear to not be true. Although, I don't know how many of those were actual rumours and how many were just wishful thinking like the Flames going retro.
Of course, the only images that have been released so far only show the centre logo, so striping and piping are still unknown.

Please no flags, I would rather they have no shoulder patches at all.

Regardless of classic colours vs. status quo, if they don't use this as an opportunity to at least refresh the design, then they've really dropped the ball.
If we get the essentially the same flag jersey with three stripes sewn down the side, then I really have lost all faith in the organization's ability to design anything.

Interesting (okay, maybe only to a few people) that the logo has a "semi-reverse kiss cut" twill crest, not the traditional layered crest.

Well this is an organization that had a badass jersey for like 3 years, then switched to an ugly one and kept it for 10. Just no blue on it or somebody please shoot KK.

I don't mind black, including on the C. The red in the teaser might be a darker shade which I will have to see in a whole jersey to make any kind of decision about.
But then, I've only ever disliked two jerseys - the pedestal and the last third jersey (the "Walmart"). I even have fondness for the horsehead.

I've set the bar quite low, so I'm quite pleased that we've still got the flaming C on there and not some script or something. Small victories.

I'm a big fan of the White C. Always have been.
However I will give the Black C some credit, it does a much better job of disguising mustard stains.

I don't mind the black in the jersesy, but I would have loved for them to go to retro as their primary home and away. Retro is my preference.
If they're sticking with black in the colour scheme then I hope they come up with a close copy of the 2004-2007 jerseys.

You can see it very well in the Devils' logo here...
That change should also reduce the overall weight of the jerseys. It's hard to tell on the Flames logo because it's black, but I believe the black C is in the jersey mesh material.

no way... at some point in the early 00's ken king went black.. and he has NOT gone back..
personally i dont mind if we're not retro full time.. as long as these jerseys are a nice clean simple design it's all good... but im leery of that. it just sucks not seeing the retros for anotehr couple years since no thirds for a while.

Adidas did this with my teams soccer jersey (the dark teaser image). I think someone managed to lighten the image though and revealed the rest of the shirt.
I'm not disappointed exactly but I had hoped that ours was one of the redesigns. It may still be, I guess.

It'll be a great looking jersey if they use the new shoulder patch and clean up the piping. But I maintain my original position, and I'm sad for those who didn't embrace it:

I'm a lifetime San Diego Chargers fan and for years we've been begging for the old powder blues to come back as the primary jersey but ownership just will not do it.
Why not give your fans what they want and make them happy?
