Back in January of this year, the National Hockey League (NHL) announced that all 30 NHL teams would be switching to new uniforms for the 2007-08 season. Brian Jennings, the NHL’s executive vice president of consumer products marketing described the new uniforms as sleeker, lighter, more durable hockey uniforms from Reebok that will enable players to skate faster with greater range of motion, while staying drier and cooler on the ice. Hockey fans got their first look at the new “Rbk Edge” uniforms from official outfitter Reebok during the 2007 All-Star Game on Jan. 24. New technology incorporated into the jerseys is aimed at increasing performance.

     The uniforms are 14% lighter in pregame weight, water repellent “Bead Away” technology allows the new duds to retain 76% less moisture. The ventilated “Play Dry” fabric helps wick away sweat and heat buildup, keeping players 4 to 10 degrees cooler, which the NHL hopes will translate into faster, “less fatigued” players this upcoming season.

     Most of the 30 NHL teams have since released their new RBK Edge NHL Team jerseys for the upcoming season and fans can now get their very own to wear to games or around town to show support.
