In
the mid-2000s, the NHL commissioned its new exclusive uniform supplier,
Reebok, to create a lighter, more breathable uniform. After two years
of research and development, the NHL introduced the hockey world to the
Reebok Edge uniform system at the 2007 All-Star Game. All 30 teams would
go to the Edge uniforms the following season -- many keeping their old
designs; some using the occasion to roll out new ones. A couple months
into the 2007-08 season, after getting feedback from several players
saying the new jerseys were trapping moisture rather than wicking it
away, Reebok changed some of the materials and issued new jerseys to its
teams.
The Edge uniform system lasted ten seasons until Adidas
(which is the parent company of Reebok) took over the manufacturing of
NHL jerseys and introduced the Adizero uniform system. Adidas kept the
basic silhouette intact and introduced a few changes to the jersey
construction, including a lighter shoulder yoke and a lay-flat collar.
With the manufacturer changeover, all tail stripes now follow the
contour of the curved hemline.
