San Jose Sharks De-Edge

The Sharks are the next team in my De-Edge series, so I thought this would be a good time to provide a brief review of their new look.  I like that they eliminated one of the orange stripes from the sleeve and sock stripes, it makes those stripes slightly more interesting.  I also like the removal of the shoulder yoke, without it the jersey is less busy.  The updated numbers are also an improvement, and I don't even mind the front numbers anymore without the shoulder yoke to crowd them.  The one thing I don't like is the removal of the hem stripes.  Some jerseys look good without hem stripes (like the Sharks third jersey), but I don't like how it looks in this situation.  Overall I would say this was a lateral move.

San Jose Sharks:

This is a combination of my favourite stuff from different Sharks jerseys.  Most noticeably the shoulder/sleeve design from their 1998-2007 jerseys, and the striping pattern from their 2007-2013 jerseys.

Enjoy your weekend!
