Use the video one post above, works fine for me!

And they said Warrior couldn't come up with catchy names that weren't childish nor sexual...LOL

It was probably the Warrior Kotex, until cooler heads prevailed.

[JGraz15 53]

NHL 12 was released early in Europe, and the new Warrior helmet is in it.

Go to about the 31 minute mark of this video, and you can see it. It's called the "Koretex." Looks funky, like a cross between a Bauer and a Reebok. There's a pair of skates later in the video I can't quite make out either. New Reeboks maybe?

Any idea what the skates are in the middle right at the 31:20 mark?

They look like eq50 to me.

[HattrickSwayze 3]

They look like eq50 to me.

Yeah, you're right. I don't know how I forgot about those.

[JGraz15 53]

Agreed...good call

[dsjunior1388 81]

Anyone else suspicious of the fact that it has the '11 menus?

[17D1998 1]

Wtf, the S17 stick is still there? That stick's like 4 years old, if not more

[raganblink 82]

for skates - apx, t1, x60, s17, eq50, g5, CL, 11K.

Why isn't the RS in the game? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

[JR Boucicaut 3802]

Because they probably don't have a good in with Easton, that's why.

I collaborated with 2k Sports from 2k7 to 2k9 - we ate EA's lunch every year when it came to equipment choices.

[MattKingDelToro 2]

I remember seeing all kinds of Easton gear in the 2K games. But doesn't Easton want their latest, greatest gear in every game? Not sure I understand the logic behind them not allowing the RS.

I like the look.

Would've LOVED a road grey however.

[number21 3]

The arm stripes on the white jersey bug me a little, seems like a little too much. But overall I like them. And I agree, grey instead of white would have been great.

[troy 12]

Gray road, and maybe a little bit more featuring of red would've been nice.

[MattKingDelToro 2]

I think they look awesome. Pretty similar to the Pittsburgh and Columbus alternates though.

[Stryker 37]

For some reason I think the numbers look great. Just the little slant I guess or how they're slightly "sharp"

[Krev 86]

I think a little more red would've been perfect. Other than that, I like them.

yeah, I agree with this. the stripes seem unnecessarily fat to me and REALLY low on the arm.

I doubt an NHL team would ever do grey for the road. maybe when time comes to get a third....

Problem with a third is that means the road team would have to pack darks.

You do a light grey jersey, it can pass as a home.

The stripes represents captain's bars.

road teams pack darks all the time though I will say I hate when they do. makes it hard for me to know quickly who's home and who's away. look at the Leafs, their third is usually a white with blue shoulders.

I like the overall design of the jerseys, but it IS a fairly bland design (dark/dull colours), combined with the pretty bland/corporate logo (all I see is Air Canada when I look at these things) the jerseys just look a bit boring. Those jerseys with a different logo could look great, but overall the look is just a bit "meh" to me, a bit bland, especially compared to their old jerseys:

[lampliter87 8]

Can't stand 'em. I see Florida's thirds, Pittsburgh's thirds, Columbus' thirds, and from that lighting, a hint of Rimouski Oceanic. A splash of red would have completely changed the look.
