Jdems93 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Anyone else kind of underwhelmed by the jerseys after seeing them on the ice? Thought I was hell bent on buying a purple to get done up, but after seeing them in the game. I'm just not sure anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All kidding aside, I had liked the purple ones the best, but after seeing the game, the black ones, which I thought were the most boring, have now become my favorite, followed by the white.

Thought I was hell bent on buying a purple to get done up, but after seeing them in the game. I'm just not sure anymore I personally thought they all looked good on the ice. I didn't care for the white gloves/white helmet that went with the Central's purple jersey, but the whites were probably easier to produce than purple helmets and gloves. My 2 gripes on the jerseys are the choice of fonts/style on the arm numbers for each. IMHO they were a little clunky, dated and plain looking, especially compared to how intricate they got with the pattern on the numbers on the back. A more stylized arm font and a simpler treatment on the back could have been more impactful in my mind. Only other downside is that the gold and purple were only worn for a total of 20 minutes! We didn't get to see them much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdems93 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I really did like the look of the white and black jerseys. I think the numbering might also contribute to my opinion. The arm numbers just look slapped on and don't flow with the jersey. They just look chunky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I agree that the arm numbers looked out of place. I thought the purple didn't meet my expectations in how awesome I expected them to look, while the yellow exceeded my expectations. the white and black, well, those are hard to do wrong.

furiousd Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) I thought the black unis looked the best. I didn't really like the font choice, especially the 8's. Also, is that Colin Hanks back there? Edited January 30, 2017 by furiousd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 That sure does appear to be Colin Hanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASG themed "truck". Gotta use the quotes for a Ridgeline, aka CRV with a box hot glued to the back. Just like when somebody says the devils are "good" this year.

It's a macho guy thing and that money could have been better spent on jerseys instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Rhea Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Spent Christmas and NY in Toronto, mainly downtown, and everyone has one of them trucks or a SUV that's the size of the Starship Enterprise. I just laugh at these vehicles as the MPG is poor and they'd be useless in the UK as you wouldn't be able to park them. As stated money would be better off in Jersey Barons hands.

Parking them in NYC is not much better, unless you're paying $65-75 to garage park it for a few hours. I briefly had a small SUV (I'm outside the city) but between the parking issues and the lower gas mileage (although it was still pretty good for an SUV), it didn't make sense for me. It did help with my back issues being so high up; its easier to get in and out of an SUV than a standard car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
