The Detroit Red Wings are one of the first NHL teams to unveil
their newly redesigned and technologically-advanced Reebok Edge jerseys
for the 2007-08 season. The remodeled new jerseys offer a lighter, more breathable
material that allows for a greater range of movement. The system was
developed through more than two years of extensive research,
development and testing with player feedback being integral to the
process – especially from direct on-ice product testing.
There are a couple of minor changes with the new Reebok Edge styling. The white stripe at the bottom of the home jersey seems a tad thicker and the red stripe on the away jersey looks a bit lower. One thing that I thought they would add is the laced collar, that appears to not be the case. One thing I don't like is on the back of each jersey there is a big Reebok logo on the top of the back. Overall I am happy and have to admit I was a huge skeptic of the new Reebok Edge jersey's but my fears are going away since the Wings jersey is essentially the same look. I was also really relieved after viewing the New York Rangers jersey and keeping to its Original Six theme.
If you don't like em, or want a deal on the old style you better pick up an old one before its too late, Red Wings Jersey . For those of you who truly hate the new Reebok Edge Jersey's or want to save some dough, now is the time to pick up the "old" style NHL jersey before they're sold out.

Just thought you would like to know that here in Detroit, when the media reported the unveiling of the Wings new jerseys, they were quick to point out that Detroit owner Mike Ilitch was personaly involved in the design process, rejecting 6 or 7 versions from Reebok before approving the final product. I had no doubt that the Red Wings organization would not make any drastic changes, given that they heven't even bothered with a third jersey (although if they did, I'd prefer a red one based on the design of the white (road)one.

I'm not opposed to the overall look of the new NHL jerseys and it seems it has prompted some of the teams with weak uniforms to change (in this case change is good) but in the case of classic uniforms that should not be messed with (like the Red Wings) the changes seem only to be in the cut or tayloring of the jerseys which is a good thing. Thank God!
