The Jersey

[clear]

That is all.

[pfibiger]

How much can these jerseys cost? Can we at elynah each sponsor a jersey to get rid of these monstrosities? Is there an annual fund checkbox I can tick to build up a slush fund so that this never happens again?

[pfibiger]

Also: It's unusual that a freshman goaltender has a (correctly) painted mask at this point in the season. Is that in fact Andy's Cornell mask? If so, anyone know what's on it? Age, do you have a picture of it?

I got a couple closer-up pictures of Andy Iles that show the helmet. I wouldn't be surprised he's got the helmet done already. He's an Ithaca native who's paid attention to Big Red Hockey his whole life. I bet he's been working on the helmet for months.

[CowbellGuy]

Andy was still wearing his old helmet in the Red/White game, so he likely just got the new helmet. I don't think it's unprecedented, but it certainly is unusual with the last crop of goalies to have it ready this soon.

As for the jerseys, someone heard from a certain AAD that the jerseys were not a mistake but ordered intentionally that way and no one told Schafer. If that's true, it's a whole other thing...

I can easily imagine some bean counter going for this jersey type to save a few bucks.

Why would this jersey be any less expensive than the traditional Cornell jersey?

[jkahn]

Can't we make a deal with the company from whom we ordered the jerseys?  We'll buy from them for the next seven (or ten or whatever it takes) years at whatever the regular price is that we pay, if they give us free replacements this year.  Has anyone at least tried to do something?  Or whoever ordered these should pay for the replacements.

Alternatively, can't we use last year's.

Is there also a deeper, more Harvard Crimson-like hue to the jerseys? Maybe it's just us and the players like how the jerseys are styled (maybe). Feedback from somebody less than 5 years out of Cornell?

the jerseys they got stuck with look to me like the same design that the women's team wears.  aside from the similarity to BU, i don't think they are all that bad.  at least it's not a non-traditional look with ugly graphics and such.  anyway, the away jerseys should remain the same i believe.

Because it's the Detroit Red Wings blank.  I'm sure there are tons of these being manufactured, compared to our unique coloring/stripe combination, which I'm sure have to be custom ordered.  Same reason why these blanks were the ones used for PSP's replicas for a while.  The closest I've seen to our usual stripings are one of the Miami Redhawks' jerseys, and even those are slightly different because the red stripe is all the way at the bottom hem.

I'm less than 5 years out, and I like the normal (read old) ones.

I have been a devoted Cornell hockey fan since 1968.  I didn't even notice that the jerseys were different.  I watched the players wearing them.  

There actually have been some changes in the Cornell jersey styling over the last 50 years.  It isn't like someone toyed with an iconic image when they placed their jersey order whether it was mistaken or intentional.

I gather the new away jerseys match the new home jerseys. And, I don't think these jerseys are ugly. I just think they're wrong. \
