The new home (L) and away (R) jerseys.
The new throwback shoulder patch on both the home and away jersey.My first reaction was that they were, for lack of a better word, simple. But the more I looked at them and though about it, the more I began to like them. The red "swoosh" jersey and the new black jersey were pretty busy by NHL standards, and both had a somewhat gimmicky feel to them.
These jersey are very clean cut and modern looking, but at the same time remind me of the Senators history more than any others they have worn before. The Patch is an obvious throwback, but the striping on the pants and socks is another.
Each side of the pants features a vertical white and red stripe, something that helps make the waist not look so bland due to the loss of a horizontal stripe on the jersey. The pants also feature the primary logo on the left leg.
The new socks feature red and black (away) or black and white (home) horizontal stripes that slope into vertical stripes on the sides of the leg. This helps with continuity of the vertical stripes on the pants while not compromising the classic horizontal striping on the front of the sock. The socks appear to be made of a different material than previous socks, something that was suspected.
From L to R: Chris Neil, Brian McGrattan, Jason Spezza, and Chris Kelly model the new uniforms.The fact that both jerseys are the same is something we have not had in Ottawa for a long time, and is something I welcome with open arms.
The round logo many of you may have seen floating around (and pictured below) will be used on Senator merchandise. If I had any money to bet I would put it on this logo being at centre ice as well.
