My Thoughts on the Sharks' Proposed New Jerseys

 The Sharks are reportedly planning to introduce new uniforms as soon as this coming season, and images of the new uniforms and jerseys have leaked multiple times online. The team hasn't officially unveiled their new uniforms yet, but the most recent leaked images were from a hockey store in San Jose, suggesting that these new jerseys are now available in stores.

The biggest changes to the new jerseys compared to the outgoing ones involve the stripes, shoulder patches, and collar. 

Overall, the new jersey design looks great and has a bit of a retro feel to it, but it isn't as great as their jerseys that they wore last season. The striping on the jerseys from last season look better to me, and I prefer the screaming shark as a shoulder patch over just a fin enclosed in a circle. In addition, I prefer the look of contrasting black pants on the home uniform over the consistent teal pants. I'll provide more thoughts on these new jerseys once the Sharks officially debut their rebranded jerseys and uniforms and I see the players wear them on the ice for the first time. Once those happen, I expect them to grow on me further, and I may eventually consider getting one, especially since I am such a diehard fan.

In other news, the Sharks signed defenseman Scott Harrington to a professional tryout. Harrington spent the past six seasons with the Blue Jackets, along with ten games with the Penguins and 15 games with the Maple Leafs, logging career totals of 210 games, seven goals, 31 assists, and 77 penalty minutes. This past season, Harrington skated in seven games with the Blue Jackets, recording an assist and six penalty minutes, and appeared in 50 games with the Cleveland Monsters of the AHL.
