Tommy Hilfiger redesigns Montreal's sweater

[Rossinole]

"I wanted to go in a different direction than the current Canadiens uniforms, which are solid colors. We loved the idea of taking the traditional rugby stripe and incorporating it into a hockey uniform. The tie at the neck area allows a wider opening for putting on and taking off the jersey over all the pads. The zigzag stitch along the front is one of the strongest stitches that can be applied to a garment to withstand pulling and tugging. It gives the uniform a cool twist, but it's functional, too. There has to be a balance."

Any thoughts? The jersey number area on the back looks like the back of an envelope but I like the rugby stripes idea.

He also did the Lakers, Cowgirls and Yankees.

I actually think those are pretty awesome.

the habs wore a rugby stripe jersey in their history and even more recently in a "retro" game ... it was ridiculed as being clownish

i could do without the sash in this one above

Larry Robinson missed a huge chunk of one season with the Habs as a result of a injury suffered playing polo during the off-season. It's in his book.

Well if Montreal wants to go from having the 3rd-best looking jerseys in all of hockey to dead last, this is the way to do it.

I couldn't have said it any better (although I wouldn't say 3rd best, hehe).

I think they look great and stylish. If it was 1930.

 

[dboy97]

I didn't their uniforms could have looked any more queer than they already do. I was wrong.

players could use top hats as helmets and monocles as visors

Who are we playing tonight? Oh yeah, the Montreal Mr. Peanuts...

 

[pixburgher66]

If you think the Habs ones are bad...go look at the Yanks ones.

 

[SLY]

Lol...

Looks like they won some Montreal pageant with that Canadiens diagonal on the front.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

The front is OK, but the slash across is off somehow. I like the crest on the upper-left chest.

The back is downright awful.

I just heard that the Montreal Police are filing criminal charges against Tommy Hilfiger.
