So I put it out there......... I havent seen them all, so I am probably missing some good ones on my list. But lets hear what everyone thinks about the PIHA uniforms.

Here are my "Top Ten"

1. Potomac Mavericks (of course)
2. Conneticut Blaze
3. Harrisburg Lunatics
4. Philly Growl
5. SC Pirates
6. Feasterville Fury
7. Maryland Knights
8. York Typhoon
9. NJ Grizzlies
10. Mass Bombers

Maybe I should have just said, "other then your own jersey which do you like best".

I'm not a PIHA player, so I have no real bias here. From the ones I've seen, my top 5 favs are:

1) Lunatics
2) Growl
3) Assault
4) Swamp rats
5) Grizzlies

I haven't them all so I could be missing good ones. I also know teams that have awesome logos, but i don't care much for the uniforms themselves.

I definetely liked the Demolition jerseys.

Must put the SC Pirates jersey among the top in the league.

As for the camo jerseys in Raleigh and Winchester. I prefer the Assault, because I like the light camo in the light jerseys. I do like the dog tags on the Generals but the camo in their light jerseys is too dark.

While I like all of the new logos in St Louis, I'm sure the jerseys will look like every other tour jersey i've ever seen. One big Tour billboard. I've seen a few of the new tour piha jerseys and that is exactly what it looked like.

1. Lunatics
2. Grizzlies
3. SC Pirates
4. Swamp Rats
5. Blaze
6. Prowlers

I am not a real fan of camo jerseys, but that it just me. I like Ice hockey style jerseys better then roller hockey jerseys, to much flash for me. I have never seen another jersey like the Lunatics before so that makes them atop me list. Before everyone jumps all over me, notice i didnt even include my own teams jersey.

The NJ Stampede jerseys are pretty sweet looking, atleast the whites I didn't get to see the darks.

Flynn,

Actually a new designer did the jerseys and they look nothing like other Tour jerseys you see around at tourney's.

Just out of curiosity....who is the dominant uniform designer among PIHA? ACE?

I wasn't even aware that teams used Tour or Projoy, pretty much every jersey I've seen seemed to be an ACE design.

I also agree with Billy that most inline jerseys have too much going on, I prefer ice jerseys. My inline men's teams have ice jerseys. Only downfall is that we tend to get the real deal ice jerseys more often that the light mesh, so we sweat like hell.

I mean nothing says classy hockey like our white jerseys (with red sleeve/shoulder) and huge red shocker on the chest. haha no sublimated designs needed to get attention there.

They look better in person. We got some nice pics of Saturday's game, we'll put some up on our website so you guys can check out the jerseys and pants.

All the jerseys look even sweeter in person plus the teams have matching gloves, helmets, and pants.

The Nor Cal Mustangs and San Jose Pirates uniforms are pretty sweet also. Especially the Pirates home jersey.

The Maryland jerseys and pants look really awesome. They also have one of the more original logos although it looks a little cartoony.
Potomac’s white jerseys look really nice, on the dark ones the logo gets sort of lost.
The General’s jerseys look awful IMO...hopefully they look better in person but that bright yellow and camo looks pretty tacky.
The Jawz jerseys look nice they sort of remind me of that old street sharks cartoon, haha.
The Snipers jerseys from last year look better than the new ones to me - maybe they will look better in person too?...the logo just looks really unprofessional.
I like Whalers jerseys a lot.

I am much more of a fan of the Jaws mock up jersey then I am of the one in the picture. I renew my earlier statement that the jersey manufactor should not have an overwhelming theme on any teams jersey. I personally like all of the St Louis jerseys, with the exception of the fact that tour has there name and logo in no less then 4 places and it appears to be apart of the entire uniform design.

Also what is with the pants in the Jaws picture? They look like mylec pants with a silk screen.

They look pretty simple to me ... I like the matching GLOVES as well. very clean look!

They're ACE pants and they look pretty nice in person. just some bad shots of them.

as an aside, are the Mustangs related to the Mach 1 Mustangs and Armadillo teams from mid-late 90's?

I quite like the Lunatics jerseys - not nuts about the logo, but as a whole it seems to hang well - simple design that isn't too busy like many designs now sublimation is all the rage.

GoRangrHky

12-13-2007, 01:44 PM

Do the Jawz have Tour home jerseys and ACE away jerseys? Don't usually see a team using 2 companies for that. I do like the simple look of the pants, too. Could use a bit more color, but I'm with you on the design.

Also, my count is 7 Tour logos on those St Louis jerseys. And I'm sure the pants will be full of them as well.

All you guys are nutz (much love to everyone though) the Assault jersey looks the best. The Jaws jersey reminds me of an old cartoon,(they are nice though) and their pants suck. (sorry but they do)
The Generals jersey looks like a wanna-be Assault jersey (the yellow looks really tacky)

The SC Pirates jersey is nice, but...well forget it wouldnt want to say something bad about people i dont know.

The Snipers jersey is nice, i really like the colors and logo

thats my obviously biased remarks.

Assault wanna-be's? It's a good thing I wasn't eating mac-n-cheese when I read that... :)

There are only four logos and none of them are over 1.5 inches...

Thats still kind of excessive, but i have to say that you are doing a hell of job out there in the Gateway!!

Dave Garland

12-13-2007, 05:40 PM

Branding is important. If we had Gateway jerseys, I would have 3923488458 Gateway logos on them (without being intrusive of course haha).

Thanks for the kind words! A TON more content will be up on our website in time for the holidays..which I think will be fun for everyone to check out. I'll keep everyone posted.

Your correct. Tour home jerseys, gloves and helmets and Ace away jerseys and pants.

Related- I think the Sacramento Saxons have great uni's as well, although I've only seen their home jerseys. The Pacific has done a great job in general with getting on board, looking top-notch.

Still equals four.

You said logos. That is the word "Tour".

Thanks for posting those pics. Very cool to see some West Coast PIHA action shots.

great pics from out west ... we eastern teams could learn a thing or two about matching helmets and gloves!!!

12-14-2007, 09:11 AM

Ya maybe start out east with the Growl getting white or blue matching helmets and gloves and tell the team usa kids to put away their red white and blues until its time to rep our country..hahaha..seriously though the growl have great jerseys and pants, now its time to work on the rest....good job out west guys

CoachClipboard

Lunatics this year have gone all red helmets, pros and minors. Every year the entire organization has had matching color helmets and gloves, it is a league rule anyhow. The problem with going with everyone wearing the same brand name helmet is that many players have a preference to a certain manufactured helmet based on comfort and personal feeling of protection. Some guys have big mellons that certain helmets dont fit right but others do. But there is no reason players cant order the same color helmet from their favorite company on an individual basis.

Regarding gloves as long as everyone has black with white trim, its sufficient to us. Again players have preferences to glove manufacturers.

Ace jerseys have Ace on it ONE time...the word "Ace"..therefore there is no advertising on it whatsoever.

The Jerseys for the Jawz and Pacific division are sweet. The new jerseys for the Gateway are sharp too! The growl has always had great jerseys, And Ive been partial to Richmonds Red and Gold combo. Hell everyone has great jerseys in PIHA!!! What is this? A fashion show?
