A report in the Boston Herald is only partially correct. The Globe and Mail ran the following statement by Reebok, which in part reads:
After working with NHL players, teams, and equipment managers to gather feedback on the Rbk Edge uniform system, Reebok has decided to provide an alternative jersey to the players who request it.
Many NHL players are satisfied with the current Rbk Edge jersey, but since the start of the season we have received player feedback about the jersey’s moisture management and durability. Based on this feedback, Reebok will provide players with the option to wear a version with slight sizing and fabrication adjustments.
In the alternate version, one fabric has been replaced with an air-knit fabric and the bead-away water repellency technology has been removed. Both jerseys will continue to offer up to four performance materials, including Reebok’s PlayDry moisture-wicking technology and a stretch mesh for increased range of motion and ventilation.
There will be no visual difference between the jerseys. The newly designed comfort necklines, jersey cut lines, anatomical fit and team designs will remain identical. Retail versions of the jersey also will remain unchanged.

I’m currently watching the Skins game which means I’m actually looking for anything to do other than watch the skins game.
I just wanted to point out how great it is that the retail versions will remain unchanged b/c I’ve always wanted to wear a jersey that will ensure I have sweaty hands every time I wear it.
Given that Rod Langway switched gloves half a dozen times a game I can’t imagine he would enjoy these new jerseys any more than the rest of these guys.
