So the NHL will not allow teams to wear specialty warm-up jerseys next season. However, as a concession the league will allow teams to design them, and sell them for charity. If I am being honest, I sort of like it.
“Why?” you might hesitantly ask.
Two reasons actually.
First it forces teams to get even more creative. As we have seen, teams are capable of producing awesome celebrations, including outright LOVELY specialty warm-up jerseys. Now, those jerseys are off the table. It’s a loss, I get that, but it is not the end.
In fact it could be just the beginning.
