Last summer’s addition of Jordan Staal and Alexander Semin gave the Carolina Hurricanes a new look on the ice. This fall, the whole team will have an updated look.
The Canes announced that they will have new home and road uniforms for the 2013-14 season, the first major overhaul of the team's look since they moved to North Carolina 15 years ago. The primary "eye" logo and colors will remain the same, but everything else is on the table. The team's third jerseys — black with the storm warning flag secondary logo as the main crest — will remain the same and could still be used next season, according to senior director of communications Mike Sundheim.The new look will be unveiled June 4 at a noon press conference at PNC Arena.
Icethetics, a website that reports news on hockey uniforms and logos, has mentioned previously that the team and Reebok have been at work on a new uniform. The Hurricanes indicated that they will tease the release of the new uniform on their Instagram account each day at 10 a.m. Here is the release from the team.
