[High quality] Custom Lavazza Full Print Hockey Jersey

Because most of the players also played football in the summer, they simply borrowed these trousers for hockey games and added a turtleneck sweater and knee-high socks to keep warm. There was no need for distinct outfits because there were only fourteen players in total, and it was easy for players to tell who played for whom.

NHL Uniforms: A Brief History – Custom Lavazza Full Print Hockey Jersey

This began to change as teams from other leagues began to play each other, and they frequently wore the same uniform, as in the 1920 Stanley Cup Final, when the PCuHL champions from Seattle donned clothes that were similar to those worn by the Ottawa Senators. The situation was rectified when Ottawa elected to wear white jerseys.

The Detroit Red Wings picked the same colour scheme as the Montreal Canadiens for their new clothes in 1933. To distinguish the teams when they first met in Montreal, the Wings were required to wear white coverings, much like in a modern gym class. They covered up the player’s statistics, enraging the audience and making them look foolish.

As a result, a controversy erupted about the colours used by teams during games. Some clubs had begun to wear contrasting colours voluntarily in the 1940s (including Montreal’s now-odd-looking original white jersey), but the usage of contrasting uniforms became mandated at the NHL meetings in 1950.

The NHL ordered each team to wear contrasting colours to make it easier for spectators to distinguish the teams during black and white broadcasts due to the increasing quantity of motion picture newsreels being created of the action (which would eventually become black and white television).

The host team would wear dark colours, while the visitors would wear white. Hockey Night In Canada advised that the NHL switch to white jerseys for the home team in 1970 so that colour broadcasts could focus on the visiting team’s away jerseys (which were regarded more intriguing). In the forty years since, whose team wears the dark jerseys has shifted back and forth, with the home team now donning the dark.

Players’ Numbers on NHL Uniforms

The Patrick brothers have usually been credited with inventing the PCHL’s player numbering system in 1915, however this is incorrect. The National Hockey League (NHL) was the first to implement this policy in 1911, with a rule requiring “players to wear identifying numbers on armbands affixed on their left arm.”

When they were deemed inadequate, huge numbers were embroidered on the front of the sweaters, and a board with the player’s name and number was set up at one end of the rink. Individual programmes would eventually replace the board, and numbers would be put to the back of the jersey.

The NHL mandated that players’ numbers be painted in white on the boot of their skates beginning in 1954. This was done to aid player recognition when awarding assists and when the uniform numbers were not visible on broadcast or in pictures. This was only for a few years. In 1977-78, the NHL enacted a new regulation requiring players’ names to be printed on their jerseys alongside their numbers.

Harold Ballard, the owner of the Leafs, declined, arguing that no one would buy his programmes if he did. Ballard gave in when the league threatened him with severe sanctions. The names appeared on the Leafs’ blue jerseys in blue for their next game in Chicago on February 26, 1978, making them unreadable.

The league modified the rule the next day, stating that the names must be in a colour that contrasts with the jersey colour. The Leafs then adopted a different colour scheme than the rest of the league.

NHL uniforms for the Montreal Canadiens

With their red, white, and blue sweaters with the ‘Ch’ on the front, the Montreal Canadiens are the most identifiable hockey team in the NHL. The first Montreal uniform, however, was a full blue colour with a white crescent ‘C’ on the front when the team was founded in 1910.

They didn’t switch to red, white, and blue until the next year, but their sweaters were still different. The blue letters ‘CAC’ (Club Athletique Canadien) were on a white maple leaf, and the outfit had striped lines reminiscent to the Ottawa Senators’ barber poles. As a result, Montreal was the first NHA/NHL team to wear a maple leaf on their sweaters, not Toronto.

When Montreal finally switched to the more familiar jersey, the ‘CH’ on the chest was replaced with ‘CA’ (which was changed the next season). After winning the Stanley Cup in 1924, the Canadiens wore an earth globe on their chest instead of the ‘CH’ to denote that they were the World Champions for the 1924-25 season. The characteristic uniform we know today was perfected by 1925-26.
