If the Flames were able to sell the black horse head and the current 3rd with relative success than I don't think fans actually care whats on the jersey.
I actually kind of liked the flaming horse snot jerseys!
Isn't Edward's quote an example of one that was famously taken out of context? As in "I didn't think Hitler was such a bad chap....and then realized he was a monster". Could be wrong though.
No, it's one of many similar things Edward said. It's why the Brits shuffled him off to be Governor General of the Bahamas. Sort of an unofficial exile in a place where he had very little influence on world affairs in general and the war in particular.
Shall we start a Nazi sympathizers off topic thread?

i was talking to an adidas sales rep guy yesterday and we chatted a bit about adidas getting the contract for the nhl jerseys
this was his take.....
thinks the jerseys will look awesome after seeing what they did with nfl jerseys (i don't watch nlf so i don't know if this is a good thing or a bag thing. i do know the seahawks now use neon green - ummm yea... you're not gonna sell me on that one ever! ha!)
has watched what adidas has been doing with sublimated jerseys and has seen some awesome looking stuff (currently this would be for minor hockey, beer leagues, etc)
now with the above being said, he doesn't think there will be huge crazy changes to nhl jerseys (the habs won't be going neon any time soon)
also does NOT think advertising on jerseys will be a go - just waaay too much opposition to it
i guess we'll now next year if he was right
i can tell you this - we just worked on a set of adidas jerseys - they were full sublimated jerseys except for the front logo - they wanted the traditional twill/embroidered front (so that's why we got them). they looked ok. the one thing i did notice is that the sleeve numbers were really high up on the arms - similar to the current team canada jerseys where the numbers are right up by the shoulder.

Dye Sublimation, as a process is really very simple. It is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramics, metals and polyester cloth, using three main ingredients: sublimation ink, heat and pressure.
Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid form. (Just like dry ice.) The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure and time. Hard items such as ceramic, fiber board, metals, etc. requires a special coating to accept the sublimation inks.

What did Adidas have to do with NFL jerseys? Nike makes the current version, and has since 2012. They have the exclusive contract for all on-field apparel. During the previous 10 years the NFL was outfitted by Reebok. Before Reebok took over the jerseys were made by Starter. I'm not sure Adidas ever has made an NFL jersey. I understand that Adidas owns Reebok, but they aren't the same company.
We get it. You don't like green because the canucks wear them. Most of us also hate the canucks. Seattle going to neon green wasn't that big of a stretch, since they had green in their uniforms before. That wasn't a "huge, crazy change". They have their dark blue jersey, with some green accents, as they have had since their inception. They have worn a 3rd jersey (similar concept to an NHL team's 3rd jersey) that was neon green. Green is still one of their colours.
The Canadiens wouldn't go to neon green because that's not one of their colours. This doesn't include the Montreal Shamrocks, or St. Patrick's Day themed jerseys. The Canadiens will always be in bleu, blanc et rouge.

I assumed they were talking about NCAA jerseys, and the poster interpreted 'football uniforms' as 'NFL uniforms'.
But Adidas does have some NCAA uniforms... and I'm assuming sublimation allows for super-duper patterns like this:
Oy...
Neat looking, for sure. But hope that is only used for all-star games. I hate to think of what fire and flame ideas Adidas would come up with if they green-lit sublimating on our jerseys.

i don't mind green at all - i'm just not a fan of neon green, especially on a pro sports team uniform (sorta like how i think it's odd to use glow in the dark paint on a goalie mask). as i mentioned in my post - i don't watch nfl. i've seen the seahawks jerseys with the neon green numbers and think they look gross - just my personal opinion. green is one of their colours - that's fine, just stay clear of neon

i never said that the habs would use neon green - i said the habs won't be going neon any time soon. neon comes in a variety of colours

I'm actually looking forward to an evolution in NHL jersey's. Sure die-hard's and traditionalists may not like it, but innovating is important to keeping the NHL's brand relevant and appealing to new fans.
Hope they come up with some great new and exciting concepts
This is the first time I've ever seen anyone be rude to BC-Chris, it kind of threw me off, haha. He's like the nicest guy in the world, how did this happen?

Not only that but he is a bastion of red, deep behind enemy lines.
