Sharks unveil new home and away uniforms

[N-E-B]

Seems like they just want more money. I think these are a total flop. Too simple and practice jersey-like. Reminds me of the 2008 Oilers uniforms.

Will have to see them on the ice but I'm initially impressed.

It's great except for the colour. I will have to buy for my kids regardless. Black is normally boring, but their's was great i thought.

They talk about reducing the weight by getting rid of unnecessary stuff but keep the stupid numbers on the front of the jersey? Plus, they add the completely useless strings to the collar.

Who knew that black fabric weighs more than teal fabric, but white fabric weighs less than teal?


Of all the teams that could benefit from a uniform redesign, the Sharks were pretty low on the list.

I'm just not feeling these, like the Cane's new set they are just a little too plain. Even just a hit of colour on the collar would make a world of difference on the home set.



I get that the current trend is towards traditional/simple stripping, but a few of these teams are taking it a little far and just end up looking plain/unfinished.

Much like the Leaf's 2007 jerseys they just look like practice sweaters.

Those IMO, were one of the best jerseys in the league. All they did was take away the bottom stripping and the black shoulders. Pretty blatant cash grab.

What kind of realistic weight savings are they hoping to get? Its a jersey, in the grand scheme of things it weighs practically nothing already.

[Buff]

Woah, this is heavy.

yeah, it's not like they were wearing something like this:

[greyshep]

Nice football jerseys.

[SuperMatt18]

Think it needs the bottom striping.

Just to compare them better, the away one is nicer but still.

[Itse]

I'm going with the "looks like a practice jersey" crowd. The old ones were better.

[browna]

Downgrade in my opinion.

Take the numbers off the front of the "old" set, and the patch, and the uncluttered look goes away. The orange around the numbers and letters was good, as was the yolk...and the collar was good too.

If you wanted to make a change to reduce the busy look further, maybe take the thick white stripe off/reduce the size off the bottom and arms of the dark jersey, and take/reduce the same thickness of black stripe off the light jerseys. Instead they just cut off the bottom third of the jersey, took away the collar (at least on the home set) and tacked on some laces.

New ones looks more like the dark Oilers set before they went back to the light blue, a glorified practice jersey with arm stripes, with no collar.

The old ones were better. Should have ditched the number on the chest instead.

Agreed, but also, do you really need the number in 4 places?

[Joborule]

Those jerseys look fairly generic. They need at least something at the bottom.

What was wrong with their previous jerseys? Thought those were just fine. In fact, the new look like the old ones without the top and bottom stripes.

[kyuss275]

I like them. I have never been a fan of the bottom striping. I don't wear shirts with a bottom striping for a reason , so why would i want my favourite team to have it on their jersey?


I really hope the flames do something like this.

[BlackWallStreet]

They look way to plain imo

Evidently they were too heavy.
