And here they are.

Those are OK. Could do without the stripes though.

They look like what I expected. Not too far from the old ones but a different take on it from Under Armour.

Don't complain it won't change.

Double stripes suck, the lettering is too small. Look too much like the women's jerseys. I hope they didn't screw those up too.

I like the lady's sweaters! I always thought the double stripes were cool with the Motion W. That said, the new men's gear is only OK IMO. First of all, you've got to stick with the diagonal WISCONSIN", but larger letters (agree with T.A.) I don't like the red sleeves on the home jerseys; haven't seen the number typeface to comment, but I'm a fan of the "old fashioned" block-like numbers like the Packers have.

I'm sure they will look better when the boys are dressed and the protection fills them out. I also notice they have those arrow type stripes like the gridders have, significance?

I don't see why there is complaining about the stripes; not a significant change. I do like the stars on the back symbolizing championships.

Well said.

They are not an eye-sore, but they aren't the exact same as any previous design.

To me it still looks like UW hockey. It still has that cardinal/white scheme with the diagonal "WISCONSIN". Sure they added an extra stripe and they rounded out the font a little bit, but I'm not going to let either of those things upset me. Designs change, styles evolve, it is the way of the world.

Love it or hate it, that is up to each individual...just don't think that complaining about it is going to do any good at this point.

I fully understand nothing will change by me stating my opinion (that didn't stop all the MM vitriol ) , but that is what this board is for, stating one's opinion and have some fun discussions off of that. I don't hate the jerseys, it's not a slam dunk "this is freaking awesome dude"! I'm not going to love love love it just because it's a UW hockey jersey.

I do LOVE the women's jerseys, for the men I prefer the 1990 version, I like the classics. There's nothing wrong with a 2016 Mustang, but it doesn't have the visual juice of a 1966 fastback.

I am not totally happy with the new design - but the fact that the diagonal WISCONSIN stayed is the major saving grace in my eyes.

Besides, a few more W's this season and I'll be willing to forget about the double stripes on the arms!!!

Third party, but those double stripes feel like a huge change relative to the past however many years I can think of?

Re: Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

Thankfully, it mostly sticks to the script of our traditional look.

The double stripes made me do a double take, but I can dig the "forward" symbology borrowed from the new football unis. Not that you needed two stripes to do that...

Other than that, anything that looks different from our "classic" look isn't new: the lettering and the move towards a mostly solid red away jersey instead of inverting the home whites like it used to be. That last one is still an adjustment for me.

All in all, not bad. Still better than 100% of the ideas you could come up with using that ugly motion w.

That is exactly how I feel being a fan from late 80's to present.

Don't mind my ramblings, just working on shaking off the off-season rust and getting back into full contrarian/administration puppet/apologist mode

No problem.....there should be no apologizing for anything this season....other than the uni's ....what else could they (the administration) screw up?

Saw a pic in twitter of the away full uni, to quote that famous song, "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"...very candy cane.

Re: Wisconsin Hockey, Vol II: Rebuild, Refresh, and Renew!

You think so? I still prefer the single stripe, but I notice the double stripe less each time.

So what can NMU fans expect out of Adam Rockwood?

My experience as a fan is he a really good player that will dish rather than shoot. great passer though...
