What's the diffrence between the new RBK NHL jerseys and the old ones?
I’m looking fοr one οf those nеw flexible softer NHL jersey bυt саn’t seem tο find thеm. I rесkοn i found ѕοmе οn eBay bυt I’m nοt sure whаt thе dіffеrеnсе іѕ οr whаt thеу аrе officially called?
the new jerseys have a tighter fit, are lighter, and repel water better. personally i don’t like them all that much but the players do and that’s all that matters.
The new jerseys are tighter-fitting, are less water-absorbent, and are more flexible than previous to. It was intended to make players more maneuverable on the ice. The Edge jerseys were worn at the 55th National Hockey League All-Star Game and will be worn, league-wide, from the 2007-08 NHL season onwards. Nearly every team in the league made at least minor changes to their uniform design in conjunction with implementing the new jersey stylishness, while several teams designed absolutely new uniforms.
Their are probably some small differences but they really have no affect on the player. To tell you the truth they probably altered the jerseys to make more money by the people buying the new jerseys. The Islanders change their jerseys nearly every year to try to sucker fans into buying the new ones.
The players no longer like the new jerseys. The same notes that does not let the moisture in also does not let the sweat out. The sweat is in succession down their arms, into their gloves and soaking their gloves and it’s sweet hard to cool down. They’re bringing different notes out again that will allow the moisture out or at least making some kind of change. Hope they bring back the bottom stripes while they’re at it.
Here is a link the rbk website which clarifies all the differences to you

But the basic difference is that they have reduced the drag and weight of the jersey through better water absorption therefore making more alacrity and better movement.
they are much more expensive. other than that they repel moisture, they are more flexible, and are a tighter fit.
