John Ondrasik of the band Five For Fighting has posted an NHL wish list on SI.com today that makes for a good read. In addition to complaining that he doesn’t get to see Ovechkin play this year (he’s based in L.A.), he has this gem about the new uniforms:
The word on the grapevine is that the new streamlined unis the NHL plans to unveil at the All-Star Game in Dallas are so spandex tight that they make players’ eyes bulge. That is a scary vision considering that the new threads will, in some cases, be covered by eyesore crests and unreadable colour schemes like the Blue Jackets already sport. I’m sure the traditionalist who has already lost his beloved fighting to the shootout will be thrilled, and more than a few newcomers may be doubled over with laughter, unless they like Olympic speedskating.
Preach on, Brother John!

Is it just me that I’d rather make a decision on the unis after they are revealed? If traditionalists had their way helmets wouldn’t be used, heh. There is a fine line there though.
I know I don’t like the new college, Olympic or World Jr sweaters, so I can’t imagine how the NHL ones will be any better.
