The new home sweater

Regarding their baby blue Jerseys, they have to keep them for this season because of their contract with Reebok. Then I think they are getting rid of them. The Kings unveiled their new white road sweater (right) at the 2011 draft, which officially confirms months of speculation going back to October when we first saw prototypes.   The new Baseball Jerseys nearly matches the black alternate launched in 2008 — which becomes the new home jersey next season. The key difference is in the waist striping. On the black jerseys, there's piping around the bottom but no waist stripes. The October leak aside, this uniform swap wasn't entirely unforeseen. The team has been dropping hints for some time. For example, the players wore the black third jerseys for home games throughout their 2010 and 2011 playoff runs. The black and purple home jersey which debuted in 2007 is apparently set to become the new alternate in 2011 and the highly popular purple-and-gold throwback sweater from last year will go back into the mothballs. At least according to LA Kings Insider Rich Hammond, that is. He said that back in March. Now, I've been told that the Kings are contemplating surprising fans by bringing back the retro threads as a full-time alternate uniform in the autumn. But it's only a rumor until then. I've got my fingers crossed. While the fate of the black and purple NHL Jerseys remains up in the air for now, the 2007 white road jersey is officially no more. I, for one, won't miss it. Believe it or not, every rumor we've discussed here on the site has been dead on. A rarity, to be sure, right?   Initial reports said the blue and black thirdMLB Jerseys would be the new home sweater and a white version would be added. That was true... until it wasn't anymore (when the team changed its mind). New rumors circulated that gold would be the new home color. And on July 13, that became official. Regarding the new logos, a never before seen "NP" lettermark was seen in April on Pekka Rinne's new mask design for 2011. Turns out it is one of the new secondary logos and it will be used on the uniform pants, as seen in photos.   And finally, to quote an earlier edition of the JerseyWatch: "Other speculation involves a freshening up of the very '90s primary logo — perhaps swapping the navy blue for a brighter shade and increasing the amount of gold in use. Ultimately we'll probably have to wait until summer for any kind of confirmation." Dead on. Again. I know it sounds like I'm tooting my own horn here, but that's not really the case. What I'm trying to say is that Icethetics has great readers when it comes to providing early details before they become official. All I do is filter what comes in. So kudos to you guys for keeping us all a step ahead! One thing I reported that Reebok got wrong was when they said the third Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys was not changing in 2011. In fact, no third jersey will be used next season at all. And for as nice as this new set looks, I'm sure it won't be long before a blue sweater works its way back into the Predators' arsenal. That's just the way the world seems to work. I'm not a hard source per se, but I've talked to the manager of the Blackhawks Store in Chicago and he's confirmed that the third jersey is being retired, which is why they're selling all of their third Jerseys for 25% off. They're just going red at home and white on the road this season.
