Players say new uniforms leave skates/gloves wet

Recommended Posts

Update:

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/hockey/...ticleid=1040306

"According to sources in the B’s dressing room, Reebok has been unable to correct problems with the new jerseys introduced this season across the NHL and will replace them at the company’s expense with new uniforms made of the old materials."

I KNEW IT!

Old cut too I hope. If they use the old materials, they can't go with the Edge cut since it depended on the stretchy properties, correct?

Update, again from www.uniblogwatch.com

Update, 12:55pm: Just spoke with an NHL spokesperson, who told me that the Boston Herald report is incorrect. As it was explained to me, Reebok has informed each team that players who have “moisture issues” with the new jerseys (i.e., lots of water ending up in their gloves and/or skates) will be given the option to have the option to wear a jersey with a new front panel made of a different high-tech material. The spokesperson maintained that there was no league-wide move to scrap the new jerseys, nor was there any move back to “old materials.”

When I asked if the league had any sense of how many players were requesting this option, I was told to direct that question to Reebok. I’m still waiting to hear back from them.
