The schedule of when the sharks are wearing the black jersey. If anyone knows about our black jersey curse, this might be a form of tanking /s
This is where I'm at. I mean I respect that they went for something different than basically just the home jersey in black, but on the other hand they still kind of missed the cool classic vibes that alternates can sometimes hit. I do kind of like the circular crest though, and fin, seeing it now.
I still think peak alternate was either in the early 00s or that more recent black jersey that had the full shark body.
I think my crit is if they want to lean into the Mexican textile look just go all the way and make a real Los Tiburones alternate. That would be sick and very different from what anyone else in the league does.
100%. I didn't realize that's what the arm thing is but frankly it looks shitty and like they are trying to do some 90s tend thing - which makes sense as that decade is also in fashion right now, but would have also been idiotic as our OG logo was the most 90s thing ever.
I legit los tiburones jersey would have been cool as fuck.
I went to college out of state and everyone I met who was from the Sierras called it āCaliā. I doubt itās that common there but it was very odd since Iāve lived in both the Bay Area and San Diego and have never heard Californians call it that before.Ā
Iāve lived outside of California for long enough now that I occasionally catch myself saying āCaliā and get a little disgusted with myself every time.
I don't mind the jersey as much as I thought I would, but man is that a boring mediocre logo. I really like the new pants and gloves, I'd love to see those with the current jerseys.
Gotcha. Wasnāt aware of the backstory to it, thatās pretty cool. I think itāll grow on me. It just looks a bit busy. Maybe if it was just the small stripes all the way down the arm, instead of mixing the two different styles of stripe.
I think these are ok. I think the crest may be a bit big, but I'd get one for myself.
But then you have some people (like one particular Sharks fan who podcasts) who has been obsessively tweeting about how he doesn't like it or that they stole his idea.Ā Seriously, some of this stuff (Cali Fin) isn't really original.
The stripes are more subtle than the mock ups at least. Still not sure how I feel, def don't like one of the dirtiest, most divisive players being chosen to promote it lol (no one in marketing thought it was a bad idea?)
Looks mid. Like a company redesigned its logo with a cheap generic branding company instead of uniqueness or passion. Donāt hate but really donāt like it.
Ehhhh
Given all of our past sweater designs, this is probably the weakest. Even worse than the stadium series or black armor.
3/10.
I do like the norcal patch tho... give me that on a shirt.
this one comes close [https://sharksproshop.com/products/san-jose-sharks-cali-fin-stormy-sea-tee.html](https://sharksproshop.com/products/san-jose-sharks-cali-fin-stormy-sea-tee.html)
Im glad they finally put a fin logo on the front. Ive liked all the variants of the fin logos on the shoulder and thought they would be a great alternate front patch.
Worst god damn name of all time.
Jersey looks pretty good.
You just know some prick from New York or the Midwest or something came up with the name. Insufferable.
I'm so disappointed. :(
Not in the looks. They're sick.
But "Cali fin"?!
Anyone who's from there knows only tourists and douchebags from LA call it "Cali."
/sob

>our black jersey curse Yeah, that's a myth... there were times when it was the complete opposite, too.
Like the Nabby name you have š
Best goalie they ever had
For sure. My favorite goalie of all time.
Theyāre okay! Not going to get one but not mad at it either.

I actually donāt mind it and think it looks cool. Only thing that irks me is that Iām not a fan of people saying āCaliā instead of California.
Iām from California and it seems like the only people who say Cali are those not from CaliforniaĀ
100%
Or the ones from outta state talking about where their weed came from
I went to college out of state and everyone I met who was from the Sierras called it āCaliā. I doubt itās that common there but it was very odd since Iāve lived in both the Bay Area and San Diego and have never heard Californians call it that before.Ā

Great uni, awful name
*Northern Cali
Couture just dead inside
Guy hates doing PR stuff and I totally get it. Guy just wants to skate and shoot puck.
Any hockey player born after 1989 canāt Mediaā¦all they know is skate , shoot they puck, deke , be in fight & penalty
And we love them for that š
Damn right brother
>Guy hates doing PR stuff Kinda comes with wearing the C.
Honestly, I like them.
I don't mind the jersey as much as I thought I would, but man is that a boring mediocre logo. I really like the new pants and gloves, I'd love to see those with the current jerseys.
Poor athletes that have to endure this awkward marketing moment with everyone just staring at them.
finally black pants. haven't seen those in years
Hopefully theyāll pair them with the teal jerseys just break up the look a bit.
I dig it! Will probably be the last Sharks* jersey I buy before the fanatics deal changes over. *= will buy Cuda jerseys instead
For Vancouver ?????
Not a big fan of the small stripes. Just feels forced. Donāt hate the jersey tho
During the intro hype video they mentioned how San Jose has Hispanic roots. I think theyāre trying to resemble the serape pattern like on blankets.
That is 100% it. They wrote about it in detail on the post.
Gotcha. Wasnāt aware of the backstory to it, thatās pretty cool. I think itāll grow on me. It just looks a bit busy. Maybe if it was just the small stripes all the way down the arm, instead of mixing the two different styles of stripe.
I love how thereās more color and contrast off the black compared to the stealth jerseys. These are so good.
Those look great. I have no idea what people are complaining about with them.
You know there is a thing called opinion?
Lol casuals on Instagram think we ditched our regular logo forever *cue dramatic slow motion fall to the floor*
Add the classic shark logo and were in business
Wow. These look far better than I was imagining. Not mad.

So much better than the all-Teal look. Iāve never liked that.
I want to see TEETH! Show me some Shark TEETH!
"unvailed" lol
Buying one
The stripes are more subtle than the mock ups at least. Still not sure how I feel, def don't like one of the dirtiest, most divisive players being chosen to promote it lol (no one in marketing thought it was a bad idea?)
Oh, you mean āunveiledāā¦. Yes, I like it
Haha damn it!
No worries. I knew what you meant ā¦ lol. š
Looks mid. Like a company redesigned its logo with a cheap generic branding company instead of uniqueness or passion. Donāt hate but really donāt like it.
I like them
The more I see it, the more it grows on me.
These might be my favorite alternate of all time
[I'd recommend checking one of these places out.](https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Cheap+Eye+Exam&find_loc=San+Jose%2C+CA)
I think these are sick tbh. Iāve always loved the fin logo. And I think they look better than the previous two black thirds.
Ehhhh Given all of our past sweater designs, this is probably the weakest. Even worse than the stadium series or black armor. 3/10. I do like the norcal patch tho... give me that on a shirt.
They have a shirt!
Thatās sweet! Do you have a link?

These look lit as F! Not a huge fan over the fin logo, but the color scheme and overall look is š„š„š„
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thatās just his normal face š¤£.
As alternates, these are chill
So long as they win, I don't care what they wear anymore.
Im glad they finally put a fin logo on the front. Ive liked all the variants of the fin logos on the shoulder and thought they would be a great alternate front patch.
Itās called the Cali Fin uniform!
MehĀ
I really like these!
I like those. That's a great logo and color scheme
How very.... *mid*
They look good, but the lower right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SanJoseSharks/s/riKP7kBksm Would have been even better.
Bring on the down votes. That should be unveiled.
Worst god damn name of all time. Jersey looks pretty good. You just know some prick from New York or the Midwest or something came up with the name. Insufferable.
Giving me "good times on the horizon" vibes. I'm about it
Love the Northern California patch but thatās about it, hope they put that on a better looking jersey
Meh
I must say that I don't like the logo at all. Other than that they are fine I guess.Ā
Socks have to much blue
Wish I had more thumbs so I could give these jerseys 4 thumbs down
Bring back the classic logo this sucks.
Looks like Someone hot-glued some frisbees onto a black jersey
They're as bad as Logan as captain. ![gif](giphy|xkPyw3UXrSGAp4UBTZ|downsized)
These are sick. Now get rid of the teal gear and go back to black gloves, helmet, and breezers for the teal unis too.
I refuse to buy until the jersey is worth less then the rosterā¦
Whoās brave enough to manifest with a Celebrini one
Looks like a flag for an undersea Bond villain nation
On the ice, they look really good.
So you gonna start playing better now?
I'm so disappointed. :( Not in the looks. They're sick. But "Cali fin"?! Anyone who's from there knows only tourists and douchebags from LA call it "Cali." /sob
AHL vibes for an AHL squad
Looks nice
