A few notes on the new threads:

  • The warning flags have returned to the white jerseys for the first time since the 2012-13 season.
  • Diagonally across the front is the “CANES” wordmark, with the now-familiar hurricane warning flags in the C. It calls to mind the Rangers’ longtime uniforms, as well as the ill-fated “BOLTS” alternates that the Lightning tried for a few years.
  • The third jersey logo is present on the shoulders of the new uniform, and the traditional Hurricanes logo is on the helmet, in a unique embossed representation.
  • One of the things that defined previous ownership was that the old white uniforms featured red nameplates, so that the team could save a couple bucks in not duplicating the nameplates. That, mercifully, is no longer the case. Both the nameplates and the numbers are red outlined with black, and the font is the same as is present on the other two sweaters.
