The more I see that Sharks alt, the more I love it. I was definitely skeptical at first when you released your last video, but actually seeing the jersey itself has been a breath of fresh air.
Isn't it? That's why it's best to hold off on judgments until we see the full kits. That’s kind of how I'm feeling about most of the Stadium Series designs right now.
Interesting to me how to Devils and Islanders both went with a two-tone jersey. Kinda makes them match even though they aren’t paired up to play against each other.
The Flyer jersey is a banger! Also me and my friends were split 50/50 on either hating or loving the jets jersey. The sad part about the isles jersey is that all you need to do is add 2 letters and boom it's an Oilers jersey
I saw a mockup where the Islanders jersey had the lighthouse (from the 90's shoulders) instead of "ISLES", and that looked great even in monochrome. It always seems like the Islanders are so close to making an amazing jersey, and end up falling flat every time.
I think Lou has a big say, so the fact that they even went back to the Fisherman for the last RR had me optimistic for this Stadium Series one. Too bad they went back to boring.
@@KevinQ25But even then Lou just half-assed it. I mean, everyone wanted the Fisherman and we got it, but the striping in the RR is awful and nothing like the OG. It also removed the orange and light blue contrasts, and it missed the lighthouse shoulder patches, which are amazing and we have never seen them again in an Islanders jersey.
@@LSA30 yeah I know, I think a lighthouse on top of Long Island could be a cool logo, a mix of the lighthouse and current logo. But nothing creative will happen until they get a new President lol
I really doubt this one is on Lou, “Isles” is super tacky and I doubt he would’ve picked it over an actual crest. This screams of the marketing department not being willing to alienate any single group of Islander fans and thus pleasing none of them
@@NolanEgbert Well it’s a mix of both, I know that he’s not really in every meeting in regards to uniforms but imo it’s him mixed with a bunch of non creative branding people.
Very well could be. But I have hope for Fanatics given who they’re hiring to do the design work. Whether or not that translates to the quality of jerseys we get to buy is another story.
I remember a few seasons ago hating the idea of a colored helmet w/ white jerseys, but honestly I didn't mind a single one of the examples shown in this update. another really good combo: Detroit's away jersey + red helmet
Not usually a fan of two tone jerseys, but those Devils sweaters are hard. Black and Red really underlines the devilish colour scheme. It also allows the logo to shine. Hope they will look good on the ice
One thing I noticed and wanted to point out: you mention the simplified Adidas logo present in these Stadium jerseys, which we have only seen in the RR2.0. I checked the store and the new logo also seem to be on this year’s All-Star Bieber jerseys.
I hadn’t noticed until this video that the numbers are not their normal style (though they did look DIFFERENT, somehow). And yet, it’s not the wrong numeral 2 that was originally used on Scott Niedermayer’s retirement banner - which was corrected a few years later - either. Great work, as always, Chris.
10:35 This section raises a question for you Chris. With the Adidas era possibly ended with the breakdown of these designs, how are you, as a jersey enthusiast and analyst, feeling about the future of your channel, your passion and NHL designs as a whole with the Fanatics take-over? I know there is close to nothing in terms of information when it comes to what Fanatics has in store for us, but what is your gut feeling about the transition? Your tone at the time stamp sounds a little mournful, hence the question.
Feeling surprisingly good about it, really. A lot of the designers being hired by Fanatics have worked for Reebok and Adidas so we know NHL jerseys will remain in good hands. There are also some great new voices joining in. I think my only worry is on the retail side. There's still a lot of evidence that they're overwhelmed leading to subpar products for consumers. But we'll see how things go as they become the NHL's exclusive provider next year. As far as changes, it's not likely we'll see anything sweeping (i.e.: new templates, etc.) until at least 2026-27. Mostly it seems like they'll stay the Adidas course for now as they get up to speed on all the manufacturing processes.
@@icethetics Your response makes me a little more confident about the future. I am a vintage head regardless, so the Fanatics situation will not affect my collecting that much - I was more questionning for collectors at large. I will follow the coming jersey seasons vicariously through your channel from Brussels. Much support!
I already liked those sharks jerseys, but the explanation behind them and unveiling video make them that much better. Although the agressive shark redesign was cool enough when it was introduced, it feels a bit oudated. The original shark for me is timeless, but it might just be nostaligia speaking. Seeing the team lean towards a more sutble yet very evocative shark design is welcome shift. Congrats to the design team
The Sharks jersey would look so much cooler if it was Pacific Teal with grey, black, and white trim and featured a grey shark fin. Great news on the St.Patricks. while I love the name and colors, I've never liked thier bland word mark logos. I always wanted them to come up with a new contemporary design. ☘☘☘☘🍀🍀🍀🍀
The Devils sweater is growing on me, but they blew a golden opportunity to give us an all black sweater with the classic logo in the center. Utica has it figured out.
I’m digging the stadium series. Granted the Isles look like a simple vanity jersey sold at a clothing store, but That makes it look more everyday fashionable imo. Those Rangers numbers look sick reversed reminds me of the early 90’s Patriots away jerseys that I liked so much. You know how much I love traditional looks and the Flyers always get a pass for me and love the black bar wrap around. And as a boy born in San Jose, I am loving the Hispanic influences in the new Sharks jersey. I would buy all the jerseys in this video.
The Rangers really woke up this season and decided just not to miss when it comes to jersey designs. Not even a fan of the team but those jerseys are just beautiful.
With the exception of the Isles, the Stadium Series jerseys are just great. The Devils jersey is simplistic yet classic, and i wonder what it would look like if the colours were flipped. As for the Rangers, it's only natural for that design to be adopted by them. By far the best design is for the Flyers. I also happen to love that Cali Fin jersey. I actually wonder if that Chevy is indeed Raffi Torres' chosen ride.
Great video as always Chris! However, you mention at the end that these are the last jerseys of the Adidas era. What about that Lightning alternate leak? Did that end up getting scrapped?
2 thoughts on the Devils: 1. The team’s fans like the stadium series quite a bit, I wonder if the team will retire the “jersey jersey” after this season and replace it with the stadium series one or something similar to it as their new third 2. The game the Devils wore the black helmets on the road they lost 4-0 and snapped their non-shutout streak which was the longest in the NHL at the time, probably a superstition thing as to why they haven’t been worn again
Yeah, one of the drags of rushing through videos like this. I misspeak once or twice and that becomes the focus for some people... and there's no way to re-edit the video. But thanks for mentioning it. 🤷🏻♂️
Everyone says the Flyers Stadium Series jersey looks the same almost close to their away jersey, Love the Devils Stadium Series jersey, Rangers Stadium Series jersey is alright underrated, the Islanders Stadium Series jersey love the color but putting ISLES on the front everyone says it looks close to the Oilers Alternate 3rd jersey and the Predators Stadium Series jersey that says SMASHVILLE on the front when they played against the Lightning I think Lou Lamerillo had something to do with it, The Devils Stadium Series jersey is the best one out of the 4 jerseys.
Is it me or does it feel like the Islanders are going to switch back to navy blue soon? Their 2 RR were navy blue and so is their Stadium Series uniforms. Maybe when Fanatics takes over?
Honestly I was kinda hoping Philly would’ve brought back their old “Chrome” logo from their old 3rd during the 2000s or just do a two tone jersey white & orange
I know we won’t get this, but it would look great if only the Devils logo on the helmet was chrome and the rest was either matte black or normal black. Sadly we get a black chrome bucket with a red NJ logo decal
I sure hope not. The good news is Fanatics is hiring a lot of incredible designers who have a great track record in NHL uniform creation. So the design quality should remain high. The worry is really just about what we as fans will get to buy in stores. Will those still be acceptable quality?
Great video as always Chris. Love the Sharks jersey! They always look sharp in black, but this might be my favorite one of theirs yet. The Stadium jerseys didn't impress me as much. The Devils one looks good, but is a bit 'heavy' on my eyes, coincidentally like the previous Flyers Stadium jersey. Philly's new one is good, reminds me a bit of the Coyotes jersey worn prior to the current Kachina, or at least the black arm stripe does. The Rangers have the better jersey of the remaining two, but notging to write home about. And the Isles... eh. Even just having their NY logo (of the previous Stadium series/3rds) would have made it instantly better. This wordmark just kills it. At least it's better than their previous wordmark jersey.
Although it’s just their normal logo because of course it is, the flyers is easily my favorite uniform. I would absolutely buy it if I was a flyers fan.
My takes: Devils - I like them. The two-tone black and red scheme works, and is visually distinct from their mains. Solid entry. Flyers - looks okay, but to be completely honest it doesn't seem like it is different enough to warrant being highlighted as a unique thing. Not bad, but forgettable. If these were introduced in a random Flyers road game without any fanfare, I honestly wouldn't have noticed that the jerseys were new. Rags - stands out from their other jerseys at least. Not bad as well, but kind of average overall. Isles - good idea for a shirt design, but as a jersey? I will actively think less of any fan that I see wearing this in the wild.
Haha, yeah they didn't even wear those Cooperalls for those Reverse Retro games. They were just for warm-ups. Too dangerous in a high-speed game environment. They make you slide too much when you hit the ice. But that's a throwback thing anyway. Stadium Series is supposed to be more futuristic in nature. (Whether it is or not is open to interpretation.)
@@icethetics BAH, safety! I want cool pants! ( I also want the Sharks to FINALLY use that open mouthed Shark logo. Woulda been great on the new third.) The hockey gods hate me. My fashion sense is too amazing.
What are we thinking about these metallic helmets? Might age poorly but at the moment of writing, I am fully behind the little visual luxury! (but get those rubber-looking mat helmets out of here please)
As a Jets fan, I would like to see the 48 jerseys as the third, and save the throwback for specialty nights. DO NOT promote those to the primary. I love the blue on blue, and for me as a Clevelander, it's way too much like the Browns going back to their old-school jerseys. You lost your team, got someone else's back, and now you want to put your classic look on it?! Hard pass!
Great Video as always, I love the New York Rangers Stadium Series Jersey I love the in depth details on the word mark and numbers, however I don’t like the Flyers Stadium Series Jersey I don’t like that reverse name plate and numbers and I don’t love the Devils Stadium Series Jersey either if it was outlined in white I would have liked it more and I don’t like the Islanders Stadium Series Jersey either because I don’t like the orange stripe in the middle that wraps around to the back of the jersey I don’t like the word mark either if it would be orange with blue trim instead of blue with no trim and if that stripe wasn’t there I would like it,I love the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey I went to Mexico during Christmas and New Years this year and I loved the art work on there blankets and that San Jose went in this direction is pretty cool I also love the crest and the black base color.
I also like the hanger effect it’s cool and terrifying that it looks like your being swallowed by a shark I loved to play in the ocean when I was a kid and I also like the wave effect for that reason as well on the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey I also like the history behind the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey
I really enjoy the Sharks. However, the Stadium series is a whiff in my opinion. The Devils are my favourite of the 4. Philly is nothing special as most of their speciality jerseys. Islanders could have done a lot better😅. I think they should have had a stand alone fisherman (with no net) but that’d be off brand for the Isles. The Rangers is nice, I didn’t like it at first, but the more I look at it the more I like it. I hope the Devils replace the Jersey jersey with this one as an alt.
@@icetheticsI had that exact thought. I prefer alts to be different than primaries and I had the thought of make it black with the red logo. I think that may even look better.
That Sharks jersey would look cooler teal. Never liked the Sharks in black. That Flyers jersey would look cooler if the Flyers logo was orange. That Rangers jersey would look better in white not beige (vintage white whatever).
Great Video keep up the great work, I don’t like the New Jersey Devils Stadium Series Jersey if the crest and numbers was outlined in white I would like it more, I also don’t like the Islanders Stadium Series Jersey I don’t like the orange stripe that is in the middle and wraps around to the back of the jersey, I don’t like the numbers and name bar I like it if they removed the orange stripe and the name and numbers were orange outlined in blue instead of blue with no outlines, I also don’t like the Flyers Stadium Series Jersey because of the reverse name plate and numbers if it was normal name plates and numbers I would have liked it, I like the Rangers Stadium Series Jersey beacause I like the details on the crest and numbers, I also love the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey because I like the hanger design, I used to play in the ocean when I got the chance as a kid and it makes it look like you’re being swallowed by a shark when you put the head through, I also loved the sleeve stripe because I went to Mexico after Christmas and I loved their artwork especially on blankets and I love that San Jose decided to do artwork from that part of the world since California is very close to Mexico and the style looks like waves and like I said I loved playing in the ocean when I was a kid so thanks to Adidas team for making this happen I also love the second logo on the on the crest it looks very new and fresh from the Sharks I also love the name plate and numbers for the previous reason I love the black base for that other reason this jersey is a nice change of pace for the San Jose Sharks.
I thought that design for the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey looked like waves for the sleeves and socks but no that is not the case sorry my bad, and no your not crazy 😂 for the jets and they do look outstanding in those blue jerseys, and I want this third jersey for the Winepeg Jets to come back next year 2025-26 but will have to wait and see.
@@icethetics make a green one, pair em up, and you could do it for all of March, too. Call it St. Pat's Month, and find a way to make it for charity or something. Find a way to make them only in March, and I promise, you'll make a KILLING on them.
I showed the SS jerseys to a group of kids who don't follow hockey and they all determined that the Islanders was the most boring of the bunch. So there you have it, from the mouths of babes.
My Stadium Series ranking is 1) Rangers 2) Devils 3) Flyers 4) Islanders. Rangers is great execution of enlarging aspects of their normal uniforms to be presented at stadium scale. And reversing the number/letter colors is a cool choice that makes them feel different without altering too much. The Devils removing white from the jersey make it feel distinct and bolder, plus that supersized NJ without the circle really sells the look to me. Sometimes simple is fine and the crest does the heavy lifting here I think. I do agree that the default block font number feels kind of average. Maybe they really didn't like how the normal Devils font looked when elongated? Flyers is interesting for the nameplate stripe effect but I wish they could've done something with the crest (all their stadium series merch lacks a uniqueness to it compared to the others as it just uses their standard logo with no way to recreate the embroidery effects you see on the jersey's crest. And then I actually like the old school aesthetic of the Islanders jersey. Feels like something you could see from an old black and white team photo hung up in an old memorabilia shop. Definitely has the vibe of something Lou Lamoriello had a bit too much say in either way. Excited to see all of these on the ice as I plan to be at both games that weekend!
Thanks for the compliments! And your perspective on the Flyers’ jerseys is a complete mystery to me. 😅 They may not be very inventive but the base templates are quite different.
@@icethetics haha like take the rangers for example, home and away jerseys are basically the same minus colors, but the third jersey is a totally different design as is the stadium series jersey. The flyers seem to just put their logo front and center and change the colors and design around that. They’re cool jerseys for sure but it would be nice if they made a drastic change for either the third or stadium series vs just the usual flyers logo on the chest.
San Jose should adopt that alternate as their new primary. The cartoon shark biting the stick is one of the worst in the league, it looks like they bought it off some dude who was doodling on a bar napkin.
The artist is Terry Smith and he’s designed every Sharks logo since the franchise’s creation. And I don’t know, maybe we can dislike a logo without disparaging the designer who’s been hired by a company to provide specific artwork?
@@icethetics I am critical of the artwork, didn't say anything about the guy in particular. My analogy about the quality of the work is meant to convey a lack of skill and craft. I know in today's society we aren't supposed to hurt people's feelings but that's the problem in that mediocrity becomes the norm. We are a long way away from the days of Saul Bass... If this same guy did the new logo, then I'd say he did a nice job with this one.
Is their really no other Hispanic player the sharks could have used? Raffi torres is without a doubt one of the dirtiest players in nhl history, a sane team would be embarrassed to promote him
I thought the Bolts were going to get the black 3rd this season? Wouldn't that be the last Adidas jersey? Or are they not coing out with new 3rds now?
Oh geez, of course! My brain clearly wasn't braining when I said that. 😅 We are still getting a new Lightning third jersey at some point.
@icethetics hahaha ok good thank you!! And keep up the great work!! Love all your video post!!

Very well could be. But I have hope for Fanatics given who they’re hiring to do the design work. Whether or not that translates to the quality of jerseys we get to buy is another story.
I’m scared for fanatics
😬 aren't we all
Rangers is goated, Isles is cursed, the NHL doesn't know how to market, water is blue.
I hope by "goated" you mean sucks
The Stadium Series helmets just make these outfits all the more hideous. If the Rangers are wearing red helmets, I'll turn the game off
Water isn't blue lol
I remember a few seasons ago hating the idea of a colored helmet w/ white jerseys, but honestly I didn't mind a single one of the examples shown in this update.
another really good combo: Detroit's away jersey + red helmet

That Devils jersey is fuego
Not usually a fan of two tone jerseys, but those Devils sweaters are hard. Black and Red really underlines the devilish colour scheme. It also allows the logo to shine. Hope they will look good on the ice
The Flyers' nameplate stretching from the arms is one of the most clever designs of the Adidas era.

4:58 pretty huge stray thread sticking out on the N. You would think they would fix that for a promo photo.
adds character to an otherwise dull jersey 😅
Hand crafted...
Flyers always play it safe and clean when it comes to specialty jerseys
Hard to argue. The only the time they really went outside the box was the 2019 Stadium Series.
The Rangers really woke up this season and decided just not to miss when it comes to jersey designs. Not even a fan of the team but those jerseys are just beautiful.
I love the flyers one. The arm-stripe-wrap-around-name-plate really tickles my fancy.
Wasn't sold on it until I saw close up pics of the logo. Love how detailed it is.
With the exception of the Isles, the Stadium Series jerseys are just great. The Devils jersey is simplistic yet classic, and i wonder what it would look like if the colours were flipped.

Awesome job compiling all the footage and the great editing as always. Your transitions are always sleek and relevant too! Cheers!
Thanks for the kind words!
Looks like the stadium series jerseys are now available, not sure must have just been recently.
Great video as always Chris! However, you mention at the end that these are the last jerseys of the Adidas era. What about that Lightning alternate leak? Did that end up getting scrapped?

Honestly I was kinda hoping Philly would’ve brought back their old “Chrome” logo from their old 3rd during the 2000s or just do a two tone jersey white & orange
The Isles jersey screams "this is about as loud and out there a jersey as Lou will abide"
I know we won’t get this, but it would look great if only the Devils logo on the helmet was chrome and the rest was either matte black or normal black. Sadly we get a black chrome bucket with a red NJ logo decal
Sharks just dont miss. Seriously it should be studied. Almost 30 years of fantastic jerseys
I think I'm at the point I want every kit to have either a matte or metallic helmet.
Such a great video, Chris! Keep up the great 🏒
I feel like we’re heading into the dark ages for nhl jerseys and icethetics
I sure hope not. The good news is Fanatics is hiring a lot of incredible designers who have a great track record in NHL uniform creation. So the design quality should remain high. The worry is really just about what we as fans will get to buy in stores. Will those still be acceptable quality?

I really hope the Rangers use the design on the back of the jersey in the future, it's too gorgeous
Unless it's an alternate because a team like them will never go against tradition

Would preferred a liberty rangers jersey espically as addias contract ending soon
Since they just did two Lady Liberty jerseys for the Reverse Retro program with Adidas, not sure a third one would've been necessary.
Can’t wait for the new fanatics jersey next year. They are gonna be awesome!
that’s a unique take 😅
I like the Flyers jerseys, but call me old...aren't thy FLyers totally missing out by not wearing Cooperall style pants? That would be FIRE.
Haha, yeah they didn't even wear those Cooperalls for those Reverse Retro games. They were just for warm-ups. Too dangerous in a high-speed game environment.

The sharks jersey would be way better with the main logo.
Aren’t the lightning dropping a new 3rd jersey
Edit: if so isn’t that the last Adidas “Adizero” jersey
They are. The last team you’d think I would forget to mention. 😅
lol, go bolts
All the Stadium Series sweaters look ... uninspired. Addidas going out with a whimper. That Sharks sweater, tho ... SHARP.
What are we thinking about these metallic helmets? Might age poorly but at the moment of writing, I am fully behind the little visual luxury!
(but get those rubber-looking mat helmets out of here please)
As a Jets fan, I would like to see the 48 jerseys as the third, and save the throwback for specialty nights. DO NOT promote those to the primary. I love the blue on blue, and for me as a Clevelander, it's way too much like the Browns going back to their old-school jerseys. You lost your team, got someone else's back, and now you want to put your classic look on it?! Hard pass!
If they still made authentic jerseys to buy, I’d get the Flyers. Unfortunately, I never see authentics to buy anymore.
Where are you looking?
@@icethetics Phillies and Flyers stores and other online searches.
Great Video as always, I love the New York Rangers Stadium Series Jersey I love the in depth details on the word mark and numbers, however I don’t like the Flyers Stadium Series Jersey I don’t like that reverse name plate and numbers and I don’t love the Devils Stadium Series Jersey either if it was outlined in white I would have liked it more and I don’t like the Islanders Stadium Series Jersey either because I don’t like the orange stripe in the middle that wraps around to the back of the jersey I don’t like the word mark either if it would be orange with
blue trim instead of blue with no trim and if that stripe wasn’t there I would like it,I love the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey I went to Mexico during Christmas and New Years this year and I loved the art work on there blankets and that San Jose went in this direction is pretty cool I also love the crest and the black base color.
I also like the hanger effect it’s cool and terrifying that it looks like your being swallowed by a shark I loved to play in the ocean when I was a kid and I also like the wave effect for that reason as well on the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey I also like the history behind the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey
Cali Fin? lol nobody from California calls it “Cali”. Marketing team must also call SF “Frisco”
😆
I really enjoy the Sharks.
However, the Stadium series is a whiff in my opinion. The Devils are my favourite of the 4. Philly is nothing special as most of their speciality jerseys. Islanders could have done a lot better😅. I think they should have had a stand alone fisherman (with no net) but that’d be off brand for the Isles. The Rangers is nice, I didn’t like it at first, but the more I look at it the more I like it.
I hope the Devils replace the Jersey jersey with this one as an alt.
This might make for a nice Devils third jersey, but I wonder if it would be better if they reversed the color so they don't have two red jerseys.
@@icetheticsI had that exact thought.
I prefer alts to be different than primaries and I had the thought of make it black with the red logo. I think that may even look better.
That Sharks jersey would look cooler teal. Never liked the Sharks in black.
That Flyers jersey would look cooler if the Flyers logo was orange.
That Rangers jersey would look better in white not beige (vintage white whatever).
The Rangers jersey is white. Are we not looking at the same images here?
@@icethetics I thought it was vintage white.
The Rangers jersey looks ghetto.
Great Video keep up the great work, I don’t like the New Jersey Devils Stadium Series Jersey if the crest and numbers was outlined in white I would like it more, I also don’t like the Islanders Stadium Series Jersey I don’t like the orange stripe that is in the middle and wraps around to the back of the jersey, I don’t like the numbers and name bar I like it if they removed the orange stripe and the name and numbers were orange outlined in blue instead of blue with no outlines, I also don’t like the Flyers Stadium Series Jersey because of the reverse name plate and numbers if it was normal name plates and numbers I would have liked it, I like the Rangers Stadium Series Jersey beacause I like the details on the crest and numbers, I also love the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey because I like the hanger design, I used to play in the ocean when I got the chance as a kid and it makes it look like you’re being swallowed by a shark when you put the head through, I also loved the sleeve stripe because I went to Mexico after Christmas and I loved their artwork especially on blankets and I love that San Jose decided to do artwork from that part of the world since California is very close to Mexico and the style looks like waves and like I said I loved playing in the ocean when I was a kid so thanks to Adidas team for making this happen I also love the second logo on the on the crest it looks very new and fresh from the Sharks I also love the name plate and numbers for the previous reason I love the black base for that other reason this jersey is a nice change of pace for the San Jose Sharks.
I know that the reverse name plates and numbers are a Flyers staple but they need to go
I thought that design for the San Jose Sharks Third Jersey looked like waves for the sleeves and socks but no that is not the case sorry my bad, and no your not crazy 😂 for the jets and they do look outstanding in those blue jerseys, and I want this third jersey for the Winepeg Jets to come back next year 2025-26 but will have to wait and see.
The only stadium series Jersey I liked is the devils the rest are bad … sharks Jersey is great
I'm so bored of the white St. Pats jersey. Give me a green one, dang it!
Green one would be fun. ☘️
@@icethetics make a green one, pair em up, and you could do it for all of March, too. Call it St. Pat's Month, and find a way to make it for charity or something. Find a way to make them only in March, and I promise, you'll make a KILLING on them.
Hard ruin a Flyers jersey… it’s no amazing, but it’s cool
Love the channel. Go Kraken
I actually love New Jerseys and hate the rangers lmao
Any logo would’ve made the Islanders jersey so much better, nicknames don’t belong on jerseys in my opinion. Instantly makes a uniform feel tacky
I prefer NY logo of the Islanders
I showed the SS jerseys to a group of kids who don't follow hockey and they all determined that the Islanders was the most boring of the bunch. So there you have it, from the mouths of babes.
😂
Literally no one sees the sharks jersey and thinks Hispanic heritage.
It’s definitely a subtle influence.
My Stadium Series ranking is 1) Rangers 2) Devils 3) Flyers 4) Islanders.
Rangers is great execution of enlarging aspects of their normal uniforms to be presented at stadium scale. And reversing the number/letter colors is a cool choice that makes them feel different without altering too much.
The Devils removing white from the jersey make it feel distinct and bolder, plus that supersized NJ without the circle really sells the look to me. Sometimes simple is fine and the crest does the heavy lifting here I think. I do agree that the default block font number feels kind of average. Maybe they really didn't like how the normal Devils font looked when elongated?
Flyers is interesting for the nameplate stripe effect but I wish they could've done something with the crest (all their stadium series merch lacks a uniqueness to it compared to the others as it just uses their standard logo with no way to recreate the embroidery effects you see on the jersey's crest.
And then I actually like the old school aesthetic of the Islanders jersey. Feels like something you could see from an old black and white team photo hung up in an old memorabilia shop. Definitely has the vibe of something Lou Lamoriello had a bit too much say in either way.
Excited to see all of these on the ice as I plan to be at both games that weekend!
Islanders fans deserve better than this generic Mitchell & Ness ass design...
Flyers jersey is money. Devils are second best. Rangers could have been better. Islanders is disappointing. Sharks are irrelevant. Thanks.
The flyers home, away, third, and stadium series is the same exact jersey with a different colorway lol. Zero originality.
Great video as always!
Thanks for the compliments! And your perspective on the Flyers’ jerseys is a complete mystery to me. 😅 They may not be very inventive but the base templates are quite different.
@@icethetics haha like take the rangers for example, home and away jerseys are basically the same minus colors, but the third jersey is a totally different design as is the stadium series jersey. The flyers seem to just put their logo front and center and change the colors and design around that. They’re cool jerseys for sure but it would be nice if they made a drastic change for either the third or stadium series vs just the usual flyers logo on the chest.
ok fair enough. 😄
Stsdium series jerseys are a joke....
it’s nice to laugh?
Can't wait for this minimalistic trend to finally end. Not just in sports but all design in general. They all look dated already
...he said, as the Sharks put 30 stripes on each sleeve. 😅
San Jose should adopt that alternate as their new primary. The cartoon shark biting the stick is one of the worst in the league, it looks like they bought it off some dude who was doodling on a bar napkin.
The artist is Terry Smith and he’s designed every Sharks logo since the franchise’s creation. And I don’t know, maybe we can dislike a logo without disparaging the designer who’s been hired by a company to provide specific artwork?
@@icethetics I am critical of the artwork, didn't say anything about the guy in particular. My analogy about the quality of the work is meant to convey a lack of skill and craft. I know in today's society we aren't supposed to hurt people's feelings but that's the problem in that mediocrity becomes the norm. We are a long way away from the days of Saul Bass... If this same guy did the new logo, then I'd say he did a nice job with this one.
Is their really no other Hispanic player the sharks could have used? Raffi torres is without a doubt one of the dirtiest players in nhl history, a sane team would be embarrassed to promote him
The Rangers jersey is so damn ugly, it is the worst one they have created.
All the Stadium jerseys suck
well analyzed
rangers is nice, sharks is awesome, flyers is mid, the rest i wanna never see again
if i had you writing these videos for me, they'd be so much shorter! 😅
@@icethetics haha! love your videos man
As a NJD fan there jerz is iight 🫤 imo the Flyers n NYR jawns is the better ones
