Being the 50th Anniversary throwback in 19/20, it means that it's not the alternate jersey the Canucks will have starting this upcoming season. What would be awesome though would be if they just adopted the Skate Logo completely for the 50th season, barring a presumed lockout that may be on the horizon, and brought out all 4 jerseys at some point in the season , the black one, the white one, the sunflower yellow one, and of course, the salmon red one.....

If true, that's quite disappointing. The team's PR needs help. They did well doing a fan vote for this, but having to wait a year is stupid. I've also heard rumours that 22 and 33 won't be going to the rafters until the 50th Anniversary season. That should happen at the 18-19 home opener. All we need for the 50th anniversary is a patch, and one fans can actually buy without having to purchase an overpriced replica with it.

zpalffy Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I saw this in an Islanders ticket info email. No idea if this is their 3rd, but I'd find it odd if they designed a jersey just for a giveaway. (not that its a particularly interesting design, but throwing it out there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I would have preferred a new third, but there was a lot of risk involved with that too. No telling whether it would be cool or Burger King level horrific. They did it right though, they kept the old layout. I was fearful of them just swapping green for the black in our current designs. Now if they'd only give us real authentics we can buy, that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a few different rumors that the jersey is going to be either (1) blue, (2) orange, or (3) isnt going to be worn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroFishOne Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 The jerseys itself is fine but the customization on that New Jersey retro is god awful. Looks like a cheap fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a cheap fake. I’m hoping the real ones will look better and that one was just thrown together for advertising purposes. We have seen that before. I mean, if it was me, I would also have pressed it so it looked clean and new. They didn’t do that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsh139 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 It's annoying that they're using the recent font instead of the original 82-92 font. But, they did that with the red retros, too, so I shouldn't be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, of course, from the customizer's point of view, its far easier to just do the same thing and swap black twill for green. Not that it would have to be an issue in today's world of laser cutting and probably better quality sewing, but the customization on some of those old Devils jerseys looked completely awful. How many have you seen that are mis-spaced, or crooked? If they just did the old font and then cut and sewed it correctly, I would be OK with that.

That's one of the reasons I keep going back to Ruberti's. The guy that does the jerseys is one of the same guys that did them originally. So, all the little spacing/crookedness issues and inconsistencies are still there, lol. Makes it feel much more authentic to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing fonts is as much an issue today as it would have been 30 years ago. Time is the name of the game and even though it's seems insignificant to us its just so much easier and faster with less chance of mistake for the shop to just do the lettering the same between all jerseys only swapping twill colours when cutting. Personally, I kind of like the little variations you see on jerseys. Laser cutters and computer controlled embroidery machines are great but I really do prefer the work you'll see done by hand. It's kind of like a signature where you can tell who did the customization by looking at the small details in the jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 They couldn't even get the crests on straight on Devils jerseys back in the day. But that's more a CCM issue, I would imagine. If our game jerseys looked like this old gamer, I would be pissed. It looks like sh!t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it was nice of them to give a blind guy a job, but jersey customizer was the wrong job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsguy Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 For Devils jerseys, the gamers that I have that were done by Cosby and CC were all over the place. Crooked nameplates, numbers, inconsistent stitching, etc. It really wasn't until EPS took over in 2005 that it got much better and far more consistent. However, with the switch to PX last year I am seeing a return to inconsistency with quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the jersey of an overall #2 pick that was supposed to be part of your franchise's future. Interesting to see the bottom of the 9 has the same curvature issue as the #5 I posted above. Probably the same unskilled person who sewed them on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
