The San Jose Sharks are planning to unveil a brand new alternate uniform within the coming days.
Yesterday afternoon, the group’s official X (Twitter) account posted a collection of photographs exhibiting a brand new set of black breezers with teal and white striping down the aspect, in addition to new black gloves. The Sharks don’t put on black pants and haven’t for the reason that 2021-22 season, so, you already know, that is clearly one thing new.
Right here’s what the group shared:
This seems to be to be the identical pants model that was worn with the unique San Jose Sharks uniforms from 1991-92 till the 1996-97 season; the black pants remained in 1997-98 however with out the aspect striping.
A day earlier than the Sharks teased this, Twitter person Carter Richard posted the next – claiming it confirmed particulars of a brand new black alternate jersey that includes the Sharks alternate fin logo as the big crest on the chest, their 2015 Stadium Series patch re-coloured and positioned on the shoulders, and a shark-toothed sample on the within collar:
It seems to be promising… if it’s legit, in fact.
Placing apart the concept of yet one more Sharks black alternate uniform for a second (this can be their fourth completely different black alternate jersey design since 2007!), the addition of black pants and (presumably) a black helmet to the group’s uniform rotation offers us some fascinating prospects. Now that the league is permitting helmet and pants mixing, might we see the return of black pants and buckets with the teal house sweaters, as an illustration? This pairing was arguably the Sharks’ greatest look over their historical past, and it might be good to see how that might look with their present sweater design.
I threw collectively a fast, tough Photoshop, and it seems to be good collectively! I could be extra enthusiastic about this than the brand new sweater.
If the Sharks are already carrying the brand new gear in follow, as the unique Sharks Tweet suggests, it’s solely a matter of days earlier than we see this on the ice in an precise sport. Let’s keep tuned.
