Jersey

[quote ebilmes]Speaking of jerseys, has anyone heard anything about when last year's jerseys will be put on sale to the public? Did it already happen and I missed it?[/quote]

I picked up Ryan O'Byrne's home #2 just last week, at which point there were still a few left.

Sorry to disappoint, but I doubt that's actually OB's. They dug out all the old jerseys along with the new ones. There were 3 or 4 #2, #4, and several others. Even just after the e-mail went out, most of the good jerseys were gone. Could be a Travis Bell or something. Check the CCM logo placement.

You can also tell, atleast on my Louis one by where the name plate was.  I can still see where they took off the letters to spell out CHABOT.

And maybe you've got a Ratushny that they found behind a locker.

Here's the best shot I got of the new jerseys. Different font on the back, smaller nameplate, and those horrendous vertical stripes on the sides.

I have to go rinse my eyes under the faucet now. ::barf::

Thanks for sharing the photo.

The font of the numbers and nameplate are identical to those on the jerseys Nike has made for international hockey.  If the Soviet Union still had a unified hockey team, the Cornell jerseys would be identical to the Soviet jerseys, aside from "Cornell" and "CCCP."

I must be getting soft-hearted.  I don't absolutely hate them.  I don't ever want to see them at Lynah, either, but there's something old fashioned / ungainly about them that I don't mind.

Now burn them.

In person, I didn't think they were bad. I didn't even remember we were wearing anything different after a few minutes, I could do without the vertical stripe, but most of the time it was hidden by arms and was really no big deal. Give it a redesign and I don't expect to have objections.

My biggest problem with the jerseys is the font.  The nameplates especially have narrow letters that make them difficult to read from a distance.

I think the consensus was that we didn't mind the new cut or fabric as long as it was classic styling.  It wasn't that far off from the usual Cornell uniform though, unlike UNH's, which had a weird horizontal light grey stripe under the numbers on the back.

[quote Al DeFlorio]I'm sure the "waist lockdown gasket system" alone will be worth at least two goals per game.::wtf::[/quote]

CU 5
UNH 2

Good. That'd be another source of game-worn jerseys. You go over with Levis, come back with a jersey. Who wants a game-worn T-34?

[billhoward]

McQuaid's a Jesuit school. Don't they believe the ends justify the means? Those orange and red rings on the sleeves would be forbidden by the Geneva convention but probably cause enough disorientation of the opposing goalie to be worth those two goals a game.

Those colors are usually associated with the Danger High Voltage warning signs outside NYSEG transformer stations.
