Usually teams that rely heavily on military themed attire have some kind of relation like Norfolk Admirals I get being patriotic but is there an actual reason to be, or are you just shooting from the hip (pun intended)? EDIT: also LOL @ previously leaked jerseys. Didn't have picture but one person who described it said the panther logo had its teeth bared. So looks like they changed it. Me personally, I like when the teeth are showing. Looks much more panther like rather than a female lion. Evidently a bunch of their new staff are from Westpoint. And they seem to be only hiring people from Westpoint... according to a hockey podcast and Jeff Marek. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But... thinking about the fan and TV perspective it seems to make a bit of sense why they've placed them there for easy recognition. Works for the NFL (not that they have another option). Also heard that they'll have a captains arm band, not a C, has anyone else seen this confirmed/denied?

The NHL rules require a C and A on the front of the sweater -- if FLA wants to remove it, they'll need a league-approved variance. They will have the regular C and A on the front of the sweater but they will also have the arm band as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just ordered a set today, can't wait to slap them on. Give them a call to order I ordered a set of the Tydan DLC steel and got them the other day. I have to say that they look nothing like what they advertise on the site. I received a pair of steel that looks like a dull flat black paint job sprayed on them. I can see looking from the bottom up that they appear to have what would be the DLC coating, however never seeing this before and expecting a cleaner look, for a lack of a better word. Is this how they are suppose to look? They are advertised with the name on the steel and look as though it should have a bit of a gloss to it as well. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks They are exactly that. Supposed to be flat, dull black, not gloss. They aren't as pretty as Black Edge or Step Blacksteel but believe me it's great steel. The carbon coating is also permeated (at a lesser level) throughout the steel too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3797 Report post Posted June 13, 2016 It's a matte finish. I have to assume that they're just taking Bauer stock steel and are coating it. They probably dolled them up for their website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sichy 6 Report post Posted June 25, 2016 I concur, the jersey is too plain and simple. This is very much a cash grab. I mean, the Toronto Maple Leafs will be selling another jersey for the NHL Centennial Classic, and if they plan to do what the Montreal Canadiens did in their Centennial Season, they'll be re-introducing four to five jerseys from the past throughout the 2016-2017 Regular Season. In addition, in one year's time, Adidas will be making uniforms for NHL teams, and the Leafs will likely redesign their jersey again in some shape or form. For example: shoulder patches and/or an additional stripe at the bottom of the jersey. Note: I do like how "Honour. Pride. Courage." have been stitched into the collar.

JR Boucicaut 3797 Report post Posted June 25, 2016 Saw a picture on twitter where the CCM was on the stripe, instead of the front of the pant. Obviously, a Lamoriello move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2092 Report post Posted June 25, 2016 I'm mostly going to miss the socks. I liked the old style stripes they had. I think if they're not going to have shoulder patches they need to at least have contrasting shoulder yokes. I also think there should be contrasting wrist cuffs like in 93. These remind me way too much of the awful AWFUL things they introduced after the lockout that had no stripes on the bottom and no shoulder patches. I know it would have been too easy to go back to the 3rd jersey they wore in the early 00s but that was probably one of the best jerseys the team ever had.
