Let's take a look at some game photos of the new NHL jerseys that were unveiled over the summer (at least the jersey that have been worn so far).

Since the Panthers made such a major change to their uniforms, I really wanted to see how they looked in action, and for the most part I'm quite pleased. I like the overall look of their new uniforms, and I also like the details. The more unique features; like the the captain's sleeve patch, the crossed laces, and shoulder numbers; all look just as good or better than I expected. My one concern is with the cut off chest stripe, I've seen a few photos where it looks awkward, but it looks fine in the small amount of video I've seen.

It was a lot easier to picture what the Penguins new road jersey would look like on the ice, since they've worn this design in the past. I actually saw one of their games on TV, and my first reaction upon seeing the jerseys was that it just feels right, these look like what the Penguins are supposed to wear. They look very old school as well, which I don't necessarily think is a problem, but I still think these jerseys could have been improved with some slight modernizations. I shouldn't be complaining at all though, because these jerseys look great.

Last but not least, the new Maple Leaf jerseys have also seen game action. I'm loving their new logo more and more every time I see it, and it looks especially good on the front of the jersey. The simplicity of the rest of the jersey really allows the new logo to stand out. I'm still not completely sold on the mismatching hem and arm stripes, but it's starting to grow on me a little bit. The hem stripe kind of matches the pant stripe, so it doesn't look completely out of place.
What are your thoughts of these new jersey now that they've taken the ice? Has your opinion changed at all since they were first unveiled? Let us know in the comments.
