I don’t know enough about hockey or canadian hockey team uniforms to have a solid opinion regarding who they’re knocking off, etc. but I’m puzzled about the warning flags being taken completely out. On the red uni, if you put the stripes from the white jersey on the red jersey and put a “stripe” of black squares (separated by the same space the red part of the flag would take) inside the red stripe and you’ve got a clean, classic design that incorporates the warning flag without being as busy as a bunch of literal flags are.

I’ve always been puzzled about why at least the letter C isn’t made part of the logo more prominenty. I mean, it’s practically there already, why not just finesse it into a more meaningful lettermark?

Here’s an idea, the collars of the jerseys should be a row if warning flags. And the Carolina silhouette should be placed behind the sleeve numbers. Just add some black striping to the home reds and there’s your New Jersey set. Complete with the flags going down the pant legs.

At least the warning flags are still part of the jersey in some way shape or form.

In reply to Frank. Right on. The only thing missing from the jerseys is a Carolina shaped silhouette behind the number.

Those road white unis remind me a bit of the Cleveland Barons from the 70s.

I was never a fan of the previous uniforms, but these seem like a step back in my opinion. The elements that made Carolina’s uniforms unique have been removed and now these seem so generic. Like an old school jersey that they ripped the old logo off of and slapped on a modern one.

The red jerseys look like Team Canada throwaways while the white jerseys look like what the Cleveland Barons would wear today.

They’re absolutely boring. I liked the old ones, with the warning flags along the bottom. Also, they are too Detroit Red Wings-like with the white striping on the home uniforms. Overall a downgrade from the previous uniforms.

In reply to Max. If the Hurricanes were so original that they thought they could change the traditional nameplate format, how did they not come up with better ideas for the stripes at the bottom of the jersey?

In reply to 48lowes. Not a fan. Firstly the red home jersey is almost the same jersey that Canada wore in Vancouver 2010. Secondly the white road jersey is somewhat like the jersey that Canada wore in Torino 2006. It kind of looks like the two jerseys were picked by two separate parties. Two totally different striping patterns, collar laces on one and shoulder yokes on the other. (the shoulder yokes I'm fine with) The logo being smaller I'm also fine with but it should be centered more. It's way to high. Sitting between the armpits along the nipple-line is just a few inches too high, it looks odd.

The white looks sharp.. too much red on the home sweaters though.

Upgrade. However both borrow heavily from Team Canada to the point of almost knocking them off. Especially the name inside the red yoke and everything about the home jersey. That being said, much cleaner look.

In reply to Tim Muir. Tim, stop being so negative. Uniforms change with the times. Most of the Original 6 uniforms have been adapted over the years. Even with a massive fan base. If uniforms never changed we would be stuck with LOTS developed in an unfashionable time. These uniforms are more classic looking. That is a huge positive

Reminds me of the Coyotes. Downgrade for them. I gave up on hockey a few years ago when they did the rules changes but I still own the original red Canes sweater. that was still the best look they’ve had. Need to go back to that look full time.

In reply to Ray Wroblewski. It always looked to me like drain. The Carolina Flushers or something.
