Something neat is that in addition to the W-B/S Penguins doing a stairstep third jersey to match Pittsburgh, their ECHL affiliate, the Wheeling Nailers are also doing a stairstep third jersey (Reading "NAILERS") this season. Theirs is in the Vegas gold color that they still use alternately with Pittsburgh gold. I understand it's a more transient league than the NHL usually is, but I'd love to see a video covering the ECHL's teams like you did for the AHL a while back (No pressure of course, you're a busy guy and there are a lot of other topics to cover).

Thank you for these update, your videos are so well made and i like that you put such passion. The question id like to ask is, if I were to buy an authentic on ice jersey, do i get to choose to get the sponsor patch? What i always loved about US/Canada pro sports is not having on the jerseys the sponsors and I'd like to buy a jersey without one. The colours representing the county/city/province is a touch of class. Anaheim, NY or Montréal for instance are one of them.
@icethetics10 күн бұрын
if you want an authentic jersey without a sponsor patch, I think you can get them directly from Fanatics through the NHL Shop. Usually the only way to get one with a sponsor patch is to go through a team's arena store. Those sponsorships happen at the team level so the jerseys aren't coming out of the factory with those patches.

As a Ducks fan, I couldn't be happier with the rebrand. The logo alone is everything I've wanted for the longest time, and they even improved the balance over the original! While I appreciate the thought that went into the duckfoot D and why they went with it at the time, it's a bit too abstract for its own good and ultimately the Wild Wing mask is what I think most of us associate most strongly with this team. A return to the classic eggplant and jade scheme may have been the icing on the cake but the modern colours have also grown on me - and I'm more than happy to embrace "Orange Country" as long as they're using the correct logo 😁 While I get that the head-to-toe orange look is a bit much for some, I like it a lot. It's very bold and, after years of boring black uniforms, very refreshing. Aside from the ads my only gripe is with the gold stripes touching the orange on the road uniform (which was also something I didn't like about the Reverse Retro 2 jersey) but even that doesn't bother me much and it's still a massive improvement over the mess that was their previous white jersey. Also, kind of funny how the orange started out as a barely visible strip before gradually becoming one of the main focal points of the identity.

I really wish the NHL would change to having each team have 3 jersies: 1. Dark 2. Light 3. Third With Dark - it has to be a darker color. For Light - it could be white, or even the Nashville Predators Yellow (Along with Vegas/Pittsburgh/etc) ... Third - something differant ... and changes regularly & could be either a light or dark jersey. With each game have the home team pick which they want, dark or light and the other team must have the other. This way Nashville could run with their Light at home, and against other teams who choose Dark at home the Predz could wear their light The Nashville Predz white jersey is generally the worse, but Color vs Color games work well. I could see Winnapeg wanting to do their white out jersies at home most of the time. NOTE: I would love Nashville, my favorite team, to go away from primarlly Yellow, but as long as they are doing it, make it better ...

@Alex_Ertl9 күн бұрын
@ No, I’m not assuming. I know that sometimes multiple sets are taken on road trips at a time, but I also know teams do everything to avoid it to save their equipment managers the headache and to save money. Don’t forget, it’s not only jerseys and socks that need to be packed because that would be easy. Most teams have multiple sets of helmets/gloves/pants that are different between at least two uniform sets in their lineup. Usually (but not always) these dark on the road or alternate on the road games are a one-off road trip where the crew doesn’t need to bring multiple sets of jerseys and equipment. Of course the big guys with all the money can handle it because they’re not the ones hauling equipment on trucks on the road. The little guys-equipment managers and their assistants-would find having to pack multiple sets of equipment for a road trip a total pain. The point about making a uniform schedule well in advance is to save as much headache from top to bottom as possible. Not sure if it would boost jersey sales, but the potential exposure at home and not having white be designated as the away could help.

@@JD200_ yeah I get that, but in 1994 That's all CCM sold was ether the replica or the on ice jersey and that was $125. And yes inflation and materials, research, technology, blah blah blah blah. Look jerseys were affordable until reebok came into the game and skyrocketed the on ice version from $150 to $300 in 1 year! And replicas are over $100 its riduclous. Who's got money for that?? I've got 3 kids who love the game and its astronomical to fit them out when equipment is ungodly expensive, not even including the ice time, you"d think the nhl would say "ummm other sports are price gouging the fans with apparel we shouldn't" but no Betteman's got no clue.

The NHL is selling skates for $900 and sticks for $379? That's preposterous! How can someone be an NHL fan without skates? Disgusting

@ On a more constructive side, I would like you to take a real position on the matter of ads instead of deviating the subject or saying that is for an another time (when?) I find too polite to limiting your comments by saying « unfortunately » when you talk about a team that takes the decision to incorporate an ad patch. Personally, I think it is bigger than the change of jersey brand for what it does to the esthetic appreciation of the game. Will you dive into a critical view on the subject or will you keep avoiding?
