Gaining the Edge?

Published 3:02 pm Tuesday, August 18, 2009

The Tips announced today that their new jerseys for the 2009-10 season will be unveiled on Sept. 9. They are the Reebok Edge style jerseys currently used in the NHL. I saw a prototype (though not the design) last season. They’re tighter fitting and made to be more aerodynamic.

Calling them the Edge jerseys is perhaps a misnomer. Everyone in the league is switching to them this season, so nobody’s actually getting an edge. Perhaps they should be called the Reebok Level Playing Field jerseys.
