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.

Could also be that you have a below average sense of style.

It could be that. But given that the Flames and every other NHL team will sell thousands upon thousands of the new jerseys suggests to me that more likely this is all about as subjective as it gets.

I actually like Floridas' two lace the best.

How many jerseys would CHI sell if they had piping, random tee arm stripes, vertical stripes, and state flags on them? DET if the logo was a black winged wheel instead? TOR with a polar bear blowing smoke out of its ears?
Hundreds of thousands. Nary a sales blip, I would reckon. They would still be abominations, terribly designed, and an affront to their clubs' history of absolutely beautiful jerseys.
The Nickleback defence is weak af.

I'm surprised more teams didn't go with Winnipeg's set up to be honest. Seems like the most natural transition from what was the "default" lace style last season.
Although I'm also quite fond of the 3 straight laces the Flames opted for.

Taking a while to get to 5000

Thats a very neat page. Fun looking at the subtle and not so subtle changes on all the jerseys compared to last season.

Going through all of them, I think every team except possibly Buffalo benefits from the new collar and laces style. For overall look, only Minnesota and Nashville look like significant improvements, while the Flames and a couple of others have moderate improvements. Ottawa, Edmonton and maybe Carolina are the only ones that look worse to me in the new versions.

The two crossed laces is actually supposed to be a representation of the Florida Flag. Fun fact

It's a clear improvement, just not what many had hoped for.
I'm thinking a #19 is in my future.

I think Minnesota and Colorado are the best in terms of this year vs last year.
Also... Haha, stupid Oilers.

I think Nashville actually looked better with the blue on the shoulders and the piping.

The Vegas uniforms don't look too terrible with the full equipment:
The white gloves look less hideous.

One thing I noticed going through them all is that the way the NHL logo is handled is worse... either breaking the line of the collar or creating an excessive visual weight close to the neck that competes with the primary logo. Also having it prutrude into the neckhole just makes it look like the sort of thing that would impale your windpipe. The old collars were much better done. Triangle > pentagon.
