NHL set to unveil new jerseys in Dallas


The NHL's new uniforms are about player comfort and not fan merchandising, according to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.

The focus on this was never about fashion, it was never about retail," Bettman told The Canadian Press on Thursday. "It was about getting the players into a uniform that would be better, that would enable them to have a better range of motion, that would keep them cooler, that would be more aerodynamically fit, that would keep their protective equipment in place, that would be safer. That has been the focus."

The new jerseys will be worn by the NHL all-stars in Dallas next week and then by the entire league next season. That's also when they'll go on sale for the public.

So far there's been a lot of words but not many pictures of the new look.

Judging from the one photo released of Sidney Crosby in the new Reebok gear, the revamped outfit doesn't seemed drastically different than the current ones.
