RALEIGH — The Hurricanes have a new look.
The team unveiled its new alternate uniform today at the RBC Center, with center Eric Staal, goalie Cam Ward and defenseman Tim Gleason modeling the uniforms.
"We're very proud of our traditional uniforms,'' Canes general manager Jim Rutherford said. "But after 10 seasons in North Carolina, we felt like it was time to introduce an additional look for our team."
Each piece of the uniform is primarily black, including the helmets, gloves, socks and the jersey. The logo on the center of the jersey is the team's secondary logo — a storm warning flag attached to a hockey stick and laid over a triangle.
The Canes will wear the jersey at 15 home games this year, the first against Detroit on Oct. 13. The jerseys will go on sale for the first time Sept. 21 at the Caniac Carnival, the team's season kickoff event.
"I think they look real sharp,'' Staal said. "Hopefully it will make us skate faster and win more games."
A Raleigh native, Chip has worked at the N&O since 1979 and is the Canes beat writer. He can be reached at

new uniform
Fri, 09/12/2008 - 07:35 — william hicks (not verified)Big mistake not having 2 flags on jersey. How hard was it to add another. Let's hope we don't play like a tropical storm when we wear them
Mixed Review
Thu, 09/11/2008 - 13:00 — Anonymous (not verified)I like the black, I like the logo, but not the rest. The slanted stripes on the arms & the socks would look better if they were smaller, horizontal, & lower down on the arms. Also, the row of silver storm flags & the red stripe should be smaller & closer to the bottom of the jersey. As it is now, all of this stuff detracts from an otherwise good jersey & logo.
I, too, am concerned about our goalies losing the puck amid a sea of black jerseys. Talk about being screened by your D-man...Does anyone know if this has been an issue w/ other teams who've worn black uniforms?
Goalies wearing black
Fri, 09/12/2008 - 11:12 — Anonymous (not verified)Hmmm...Dominik Hasek never had a problem. Kelly Hrudey, Dan Cloutier, and John Grahame seemed to be better goalies when wearing black. :P
Still, this is a good question.
3rd Jersey
Thu, 09/11/2008 - 09:45 — cole26fanI love the new black jersey! Can't wait to get one for myself.
Focus on the Canes, not their uniforms!
Thu, 09/11/2008 - 09:29 — Kaniac Kelly (not verified)I don't really care how they look; I care a lot about how well they play. Let's focus on what's important here - it's hockey, not a fashion show.
Back In Black
Thu, 09/11/2008 - 02:01 — Carolina_WhalerNot bad at all, they look better than what I expected to be. I'll have to pick me one up during the Caniac Carnival on the 21st. I Just need to decide who's jersey I want, I might get a LaRose one if they have them.

Thu, 09/11/2008 - 08:29 — Anonymous (not verified)Cant wait to get one of these new alternate jersey's (i'm getting a Ron Francis jersey, myself). i, too, cant wait for this season to start and looking forward to Ronnie "Franchise", Glen Wesley and Bates Battaglia leading us to another Stanlee Cup. Go Cans!!!
Your Joking Right !?
Fri, 09/12/2008 - 03:38 — Carolina_WhalerDude seriously lay off the pipe man !
Please tell me you were joking about Francis, Wesley, & Battaglia playing.
Considering that 2 of them are retired and 1 is god knows where, check your facts next time.
black! seriously?

Was hoping for a silver sweater
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 23:37 — Cinvinman (not verified)Since lots of teams do black. Still a fresh updated look.

went to RBC to watch this

Gotta love it.
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 20:14 — Anonymous (not verified)Gotta love it. I could care less about the two flags. Still represents Hurricanes.
I am sure I will own one sooner or later. If some other team fans say something about that just tell them to get a life. I mean, really.....get a life !!!!
New Jersey ?
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 19:42 — esteban1949A play on Words there Chip...and personally i will get one when they become available for sale...Some will like it...others won't...but seeing they aint buying up all the empty season tickets that are left...what do they know about what it costs a team to dress out these days...
Go Canes !
I saw a comment on Yahoo
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 17:30 — randycanes (not verified)I saw a comment on Yahoo regarding a question I also had regarding the new unis: How are the all black uniforms going to affect his vision of an all-black puck. At least if he has guys in front of him in white or red, the puck is still somewhat discernable, but with black...
Why show that rendering of

3rd Jersey
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 16:55 — Anonymous (not verified)It was clarified during the presentation that the one flag is NOT a tropical storm warning. It does in fact represent a Hurricane watch.
QUOTE Hurricane Watch A hurricane watch (HWA) is issued for a specified area for which a hurricane or a hurricane-related hazard is a possible threat within 36 hours. Maritime flags indicate this with a single square red flag with a black square in the middle. The purpose of a hurricane watch is to inform families to obtain supplies, secure your home, and be prepared to evacuate. Hurricane Warning A hurricane warning (HWW) is issued when a hurricane with sustained winds of 74 mph (65 knots, 118 km/h) or higher is expected in a specified coastal area in 24 hours or less. Maritime flags indicate this with two square red flags with a black square in the middle of each.
Not Impressed
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 16:46 — Charlie (not verified)Looks very 70s to me, somehow. Not a big fan. If you're going to black, it should look sleek or mean, and to me these do neither. Regardless, much more interested in the performance of the dudes wearing them, and I remain very optimistic there....come on, October!
Cool to see Gleason wearing
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 16:29 — Anonymous (not verified)Cool to see Gleason wearing #6. Isn't this his 3rd number change since he has been here?
new uniforms
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 16:08 — Grandma (not verified)Very sharp. Can't wait til all the guys are suited up in them and we can FINALLY start the season.
Better than I expected
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 16:04 — LP (not verified)Well, they came out better than I thought they would. But really, I think a 3rd grader could have designed this one. They switched the logos around, darkened the storm log and used the black/grey combo for the trim on the bottom. I was hoping for something with a little more thought to it, oh well. I guess they took the easy way out. Pete Soto actually said it took 5 years to come up with this. My 8 year old niece could have done that in like 10 minutes.
Really? 10 minutes? Too bad
Thu, 09/11/2008 - 18:54 — richardfocReally? 10 minutes? Too bad she didn't. Might want to talk to her parents about priorities.

Gleason is #6?
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 15:28 — buffalo66th (not verified)Third number in three years. Hopefully, he wears #6 for many years to come

Wed, 09/10/2008 - 15:17 — Simons (not verified)The new sweaters look real good; however I have a problem with the logo. I still believe the logo should have 2 flags to represent a hurricane warning not a tropical storm warning.
We really need to freshen
Thu, 09/11/2008 - 09:14 — macsmomWe really need to freshen up our Hurricane Flag meanings. A tropical storm flag is a triangle. The Logo the Canes use is a Hurricane warning flag. The one square flag is used when the hurricane is 36 hours away from hitting. The 2 square flag is used when the hurricane is less than 24 hours away from hitting. So yes, the flag is a Hurricane warning flag, not a tropical storm flag.
As for the jersey, I love them. Guess I'll be owning all 3 colors now, b/c I have to get one. Very sharp. And besides, black is supposed to make you look slimmer, although, Gleason did look huge in that.
Actually...
Thu, 09/11/2008 - 21:03 — Meterologist (not verified)Actually, there are no NO flags representing watches, just flags for small craft advisories and the gale/storm/hurricane warnings. one red rectangular flag with a black square is a storm warning. Two is the Hurricane warning. A little exception could be made as to why the Hurricanes could use it legitly:
STORM WARNING: To indicate winds 48 knots and above,
no matter how high the speed, are forecast for the area.
However, if the winds are associated with a tropical cyclone
(hurricane), the STORM WARNING indicates that winds within
the range 48-63 knots are forecast.

Just curious....do you also have a problem with the fact that it's mounted on a hockey stick and not a flagpole?
It's quite badass.

3rd jersey
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 13:32 — schelle92 (not verified)I watched the live stream of the unveiling and was impressed with the jersey. Looks very sharp (and hopefully will intimidate the opponents). I've waited for years for a black jersey and this one is definitely worth the wait.
