I think this is what they were rumored to go with so it's not surprising that this was the result
Their best jerseys are the Whalers jersey, that says it all.
I think the stormy patch is probably an homage to the arena being also home to NC State basketball so a bit of a college tie.
I love the new jersey. The logo will probably become a home logo in the future, with the stadium series look.
The shoulder patch is reminiscent of the college mascot logos in the region, NC State, UNC, Wake Forest, App State, and ECU all have similar mascot logos. I wish every Hurricanes jersey had a storm flag stripe on the belt
Better then the Stupid Canes jersey
Should've rounded off the shoulders
The 2023 stadium series look like the inverse of this version they might get a new home
Personally I have always loved the hurricane brand, but their identity is a problem that needs addressing. I do appreciate the thought of going more modern vs classic as a large group of the league is going classic. Innovation is important, so I do think that tipping my hat is granted. HOWEVER, they need to pick a direction that is consistent with both home and road. Upgrade the Stadium series design to match this, and then their current home can be an alternate. But who am I to say, I’m just a jersey nerd 🤓 🤷♂️
Anything was gonna feel like an upgrade from the old aways, hated the wordmark. I think you're spot on with the identity thing. I don't really mind very different looks for the home and aways but I just think we should embrace the swirl! The problem is Tom Dundon hates it.
I'm also a huge fan of the shoulder stormy. Like others said its evoking the mascots of the local colleges especially NC State who we share a parking lot with and they really captured the feel of it. If you look up the drawn nc state mascot you'll see it!
I like these
The black arm numbers on a red background seem like they’ll be difficult to see from afar.
what on earth are they doing?
The Canes stadium series evokes immediate nostalgia for anyone who was there, or anyone who lived in Raleigh at the time. The whole city showed up for that game and i am pretty sure it set big attendance numbers for hockey special events outside of historic markets. Celebrating college sports is a big deal down here too. I am sure we will see the limited edition golden collegiate "C" jersey with the same stormy patch make an appearance as an alternate jersey at some point as well.
These jerseys suck hard
Not a fan just go back to the 05-06 jerseys call it a day
⚠⚠Disclaimer up front I'm a Ducks fan so biased opinion⚠⚠
I love the old Might Ducks logo and I like the "new" one.
Yet to me some teams "just" have a boring logo and the canes is just such a team I really don't like or get what we saw here as the main logo I like the hockey stick with the 2 flags I'm just not a fan of the puck in the mid. of a hurrican sorry canes fan.
This is technically better than the Canes jersey, but it's still an Identity Crisis
It's not perfect, and I could easily suggest changes I would like to see. That said, it's better than the previous away jerseys and they seem unique. probably like a 7.5 out of 10 for me
I like the jersey
Whatever… white storm serge would have been better
Put the normal logo on the front and it's perfect. Overall I really like them.
My guess: they introduce a new home jersey next season which will be a red version of the stadium series, then use stormy on an alternate jersey. This is likely just testing the waters for one year on how jersey sales go and how fans react.
3:00 It's due to where the team is from. College sports are HUGE in the area, and that "strutting" style of throwback mascot is a common theme to the area schools.
