Tuesday, the National Hockey League officially kicked off their partnership with German sportswear giant Adidas with the launch of the Adizero jersey line. Starting next season each and every club in the NHL will sport the brand new Adizero jerseys, with some teams opting for full redesigns, and others sticking to their old look.
Aside from design changes to the front, back and side of the new jerseys, twelve teams elected to allow Adidas to include a message/pattern hidden on the inside of the collar, something that the brand has often done with soccer kits. Some teams like the Leafs included a motto (honour, pride, courage), others like the Predators included imagery (piano keys). Check out the twelve designs below.
Montreal Canadiens (To you from failing hands we throw the torch)
