I'm still somewhat struck by how poorly the NHL unveiled this.
Literally a website full of nerds (like me) and even normal hockey fans eager to see these could not figure out when it was actually happening. Or where. Or any details. And the league's own website didn't even have details on it?
Random tweets and leaks. Random pictures. No organization. Just bizarre.

Flyers continue with their silly mishmash nameplate tradition. As far as I can tell, it's not a throwback to their old-timey jerseys. They just decided to put a colored block nameplate one day and stuck with it. So weird. It's so bad looking. Each number / name has a different, inconsistent scheme.
black-on-white for name
white-on-black for main number
orange-on-black for side number
It's madness!

Just noticed this looking at the Stars jersey...
The collar laces have always been more decorative than practical (or at least since they stopped making jerseys out of wool), but now they serve no actual purpose.
Even the ones with the loose lace ends are sewn directly to the jersey so they can't be tightened even if you wanted to.

When I look at the Vegas kit I am reminded of these treasures.

And what's with the little stitching design in the gold. So strange. But I like new things so it's not all hate.

The more I look at that Vegas uni, the more I hate it. It's just brutally ugly. I can't believe the NHL allows shiny gold as a colour on jerseys. By no means am I a traditionalist, but shiny gold fabric doesn't belong on anything to take pride in. It would be like the flames using red sequence to sparkle like fire. Just tacky and ugly.

While I'm not a fan for a lot of the new kits, I do like that the neck laces and the arm bands are different from team to team, and not just standard supplementary features. There appears to be a classic kit for some teams, and a more modern kit style for others.

Agree completely. But all they'd have to do to make it tolerable would be to remove red from the colour scheme.

Hmmm.

It's the closest thing they have to a "retro" so it's automatically better than any current design they could have
