The New NHL Jerseys 2017-2018 Are Awesome! Here's Why.

Yesterday, in Las Vegas, Adidas and the NHL unveiled the new ADIZERO Authentic NHL jerseys, which will make their on-ice debut with the 2017-2018 season.

At the forefront of innovation, design, and craftsmanship, the new ADIZERO Authentic NHL Jersey takes the hockey uniform system and hockey jersey silhouette to the next level by redefining fit, feel and lightweight construction.

Here are the fresh new NHL Jersey’s key features:

Lighter – Featuring new cresting materials and construction technology, the ADIZERO Authentic NHL jersey reduces crest weight by up to 46%, while a single layer perforated numbering system reduces number weight by up to 60%, in order to deliver a new jersey that is up to 19% lighter when compared to the current NHL Jersey.
Cooler – The ADIZERO Authentic NHL jersey features adidas Clima® technology in each of the jersey fabrics to deliver breathability and enhanced performance. Combining moisture management technology and a streamlined silhouette to maximize air flow circulation with materials that are up to 133% more permeable than fabrics currently used on ice allows athletes to be cooler.
Stronger – Constructed for durability, the ADIZERO Authentic NHL jersey fabrics are up to 27% stronger in burst testing and up to 72% tougher in abrasion testing compared to the current NHL jersey.

It's been a big night.
