NHL unveils All-Star Game jerseys

asg-jerseys

On Tuesday, the NHL announced which players would be participating in the 2017 NHL All-Star Game in Los Angeles (Jan. 29 at 3:30 pm on NBC and the NBC Sports app).

On Wednesday, the league revealed what they’d be wearing.

More:

The four All-Star teams – the Atlantic, Central, Metropolitan and Pacific – will wear jerseys that feature colors worn by the Kings during their 50-year history: Purple (Forum Blue), Gold, Black and White. The silver also is a nod to the NHL Centennial logo and the NHL Shield.

The Pacific Division (featuring the hometown Kings) will wear the black jersey. The Atlantic Division will wear gold, the Central Division will wear purple and the Metropolitan Division will wear white.

Each jersey features a band of stars that is reminiscent of the uniforms worn in NHL All-Star Games from 1989-91. Each of the 10 stars represents a decade in the 100-year history of the League. Four stars on the socks represent the four divisions in the NHL today.

The 2017 NHL All-Star patch is located on the right shoulder, while a full-color team patch for each player is found on the left shoulder. The custom font for the numbers and player names is inspired by the letters in the iconic HOLLYWOOD sign.

I’m not one for breaking down jersey esthetics, but these are pretty nice. Feel free to add more in the comments section.
