I think NHL teams should be able to use different colour pants for their home and away uniforms. Currently every single team's primary home and away uniforms use the same pants for both. I think the Hurricanes' black pants look great with the red home jersey but not as good with the white road jersey.
I was at the game they wore the black pants, gloves and helmet in Carolina. It was an interesting look but they looked too much like the Devils. I’m definitely a bigger fan of the red pants, gloves, and helmet, even though the black does some color contrast.
I really dig the black pants and helmets for Carolina. Brings more contrast to the overall look. But only for the home set. Away I think it looks better in red.
Slightly off topic but I wish the NHL would allow more dark on dark games where both teams wear their home or third jerseys. The canes did a few times a few years ago when Dundon hated the old white jerseys and I kind of liked it. Obviously it wouldn't work for like a Canes-Caps game but could work for a Canes-Leafs game where it's red on blue
I like the way the NBA does this, where all teams first decide what they wear for home games for the entire season, and then once the info is out, they pick their away uniform accordingly. The only problem with this is that unlike basketball, where the uniforms are quite simple and light, hockey gear have a lot of different parts: some goalies even have different pads depending on the jersey. It's actually the main reason the NHL switched from wearing white at home to wearing dark at home: whenever a team was on a road trip and faced a team wearing their third jersey, they had to travel with both their whites and dark, and apparently, that was a logistical nightmare. (I believe that time the Canes wore red on the road, the Ducks kept their black jersey which was fine, but when they played Montreal later in the trip, an agreement was made for the Habs to wear white at home since they only have a red and a white jersey) If they can figure out a way to do this though, by all means, this should absolutely be the way forward!
1. My Habs jersey has the same string issue as yours 2. I am a bigger fan of the red pants. To me, the black pants makes it look like they are wearing a dress.
They also used the alternate gloves, too. This reminds me of last season, when Columbus wore the rr pants with their away jerseys. Personally, I like the black pants a little more, I think.
Next year, the canes are going to participate in their 25th year as the hurricanes…. That being said, I can possibly see an altered version of the original jerseys
There were rumors that they wore the black pants because those were games where they could clinch a playoff spot. But maybe it was just a fun teaser for what’s the come next year.
YES I KNOW THE CHANGE KNOW THANKS. I haven’t watched a hurricanes game in a while so I never knew, but I was waiting for this video since you talked about the away.
Maybe they are trying out different looks last season the Blue Jackets had on Blue Pants for a couple Home & Away games . Hurricanes love the updated Flag logo on the 3rd would to see the Flag logo on a red Jersey. My favorite Hurricane Jerseys where originals with Silver .
@@maxbright0643 it’s been rumoured for a while that they’ve been wanting to ditch their current main logo, and adopt the warning flag as their main crest
The gloves changed too - from red with black bar, (where the brand is) to black with red bar (where the brand is)…also, with the blck pants, they wore black helmets and red helmets with red pants
I don't remember which Canes commentator said it (Mike, Tripp or Shane) but their explanation was that the front office wanted to 'see what the uniform combo looked like in action'. They are obviously open to adjusting the uniforms, considering they have been wearing black at home more frequently this season (and the entire playoffs). Since they went back to the red pants, I guess that was the result of their experiment. I like the black pants better aesthetically, but I agree it is too similar to the Devils unfortunately.
I like the red pants on their white away jersey but I like the black pants on the home jersey. However, if there is a rule or logistics they want the same pants for home and away, then stick to black. Although I think the alternate jersey would look cool with red pants.
As a 'Canes fan, I don't mind this as an alternate look. But I like the normal way better. However here is what I wish the 'Canes would change in their pants. The normal Red pants I wish they would bring back the old pants the 'Canes used to have with their main logo on it and with the Black on the bottom of the legs. Then with the Black pants make them an inverse of the Red pants. Make it a Black pant with with main logo on it with Red on the bottom of the legs. I think it would make things more unique and also would complement their uniforms better. As to next season I hope they don't change things but just tweak things for the uniforms. Here are the changes and thigs I want to see the 'Canes make to their uniforms to make them better: Home Red: Tweak the collar to better match the striping. Black main part of the collar going all the way around with a White upper part all the way around. Keep the laces. Add alternate logo as a shoulder patch. Make Silver on the logos sparkle again. Bring back original Red Pants with logo and black around the bottom of the legs. Away White: Tweak the collar to better match the striping. Red main part of the collar going all the way around with a Black upper part all the away around. Add laces. Make Silver on the logos sparkle again Bring back original Red Pants with logo and black around the bottom of the legs. Alternate Black: Add Laces Make Silver on logos sparkle again. Make the pants look like an inverse of the regular pants, Black with logo and Red around the bottom of the legs Heritage (Whalers): Tweak the collar to match the striping. White main part going all the way around with Blue upper part all the way around. Add logo to pants. Vintage (Home Red 2008-2013) {New Addition}: With this slot add back the jersey that made the team famous and kinda the one they won the Cup in (I like it better with the yoke piping) New Reverse Retro: White Version of Original Black Jersey Stadium Series: The Jersey we saw that was leaked Also for their Jersey and helmet sponsors: Jersey: PNC Bank Helmet: Lenovo or Invisalign
This is why you should be able to customize or change a actual team’s jersey in the NHL games like in NHL23 which I can’t wait for they should add more realistic graphics (ray tracing Maby?) like with the pants they are semi shiny and dark at the same time, I don’t know how but they aren’t in the games, also better physics and hit physics instead of just curling up and snapping into the get up position. And I HOPE and I mean HOPE for more Goalie pads and more, way more skater equipment for the future games. Well Love your content! Cant wait for more jersey reviews!
If there going to wear the red pants again I think they should flip the socks colors move the black part of the sock to the top where the red is now and vice versa that makes it flow better Neil what ya think?
The only problem is that it kind of looks like NJ now. I think it looks better on both uniforms, but there's already a team in their division with basically the same look.
I don’t really have a favourite, but I found these black pants odd. Let me explain. I always felt white was the 2nd colour and black, the accented third colour for the Hurricanes. With that much black, they’re starting to look like Chicago Blackhawks.
I know with create a team in the EA sports series you can xreate a lot of customization Almost averwhelming considering the game i had ibefore NHL07 had pre designed jersey and you can pick a logo Not sure if you can add a jersey to a existing team
I have the same opinion about Carolina as I do Colorado blue pants, the Colorado home and Carolina home with black look amazing but the away jerseys are not so amazing and the pants look out of placd
Mismatched/mis-colored pants annoy me, and the red pants are slightly different from the jersey and socks, and it looks very high school to me. I think the black looks way better. I always like when pants and helmets match, and are a different color than jerseys and socks. I also like when they can play around with different combinations. Pick helmets and pants game by game. As long as you’re in white or dark, who cares? It could add back in a bit of the flavor variety home fans used to get when the road team wore darks. Now it’s the same colors every night and that gets boring. Are there any rules against these changes on the fly? Where is the league on this?
They wore their alternate black pants, helmets and gloves with their home red jerseys at home and on the road that week used them with their road white jerseys. I thought it was a very neat change up. I’m not sure we played well enough in them for “superstitious hockey players” to make them a common thing in important games though.
Black looks wayyyyyy better on the home's. The bottom of the jersey's black, and it had red pants. That didn't flow. The reds look better only on the away's. The black helmet and gloves work perfectly too. I say keep it.
It's just like Columbus last year trying out the blue pants from the reverse retro with their away uni. That worked too, and it would work with the home as well.
The owner doesn't like their current home jerseys. In fact, they are working on a bit of a uniform rebrand for next season. Not exactly sure what it will look like at the moment, but this is likely the last year we see them wearing the current home jersey as is.

I agree
Might have already been mentioned. But word around Raleigh is that they were testing something related to the outdoor game.
I was at the game they wore the black pants, gloves and helmet in Carolina. It was an interesting look but they looked too much like the Devils. I’m definitely a bigger fan of the red pants, gloves, and helmet, even though the black does some color contrast.
I really like the change! You're right. It definitely meshes WAAAAAYYYY better.
Home jerseys look better with black pants, aways look better with red
Honestly the black pants look very nice with this jersey.

I’m willing to bet that their brief switch to black pants was used as a “camera test” for their long rumoured rebrand.
What do you mean by rebrand?

Its the laundry guy.... I'm tellin' ya.
My canes jersey does the same thing with the laces it drives me crazy
I prefer the red jersey red pants the red jersey black pants works but i get Chicago Blackhawk vibes from it
both look good tbh

In my opinion the black pants go better whit that jersey
Black pants made it look like the player tucked in the sweater down the swim shorts with thick belt.
Can't un-see it... Better red.
Keep the red the red looks way better the black looks off to me
It looks like a onesie that was 2/3 complete
I don’t really have a favourite, but I found these black pants odd. Let me explain.

or the NJ Devils who also have red jerseys with black pants.
@@brickogre and black helmets
I said in the other video that this was just a temporary thing
I think black is the right decision for the home uniform. For the away, I would stick with the red pants.
They should allow this customization for the NHL video games

@@Post2PostProductions Tks! We'll just wait and see.
I like it.
so confusing lol
Watch Steve Enforcer channel to see what he does with his dangly laces
I like it. but is it not a colour issue with the other team !?
football/soccer ⚽️ change alot of the team 🤷♂️
black PANTS would be fine but dont change the gloves and helmet
Black helmets no. black pants yes
The black pants on the road suck
Black pants, helmets, and gloves with the red uniform looks terrible.
First
Personal opinion: Hurricanes have the worst uniforms in the league. A lot of us in my part of the world have nicknamed them Candycanes.
They also used the alternate gloves, too. This reminds me of last season, when Columbus wore the rr pants with their away jerseys. Personally, I like the black pants a little more, I think.
