2. Chinese New Year jersey

It’s the explanation that makes this jersey. They really went all-in on the designer of the Chinese New Year jersey. It was awesome to see them give the designer a chance to talk about her style and what inspired the jersey. The design has a bright red jersey with a “fu” character. This means “good fortune” as its symbol. Then, they wrote the Devils’ logo in traditional calligraphy.

This jersey came out awesome. The Devils’ logo looks really good. It’s slightly changed, with fewer connections in the logo and no traditional circle around it, but it came out great. The symbol in the back is interesting as well. The two are interlocking perfectly, and the design hits really well.

The numbers aren’t our favorite, but it’s an interesting idea. They look also like calligraphy, but it’s a little more simplistic. It doesn’t ruin the jersey in the slightest, but it’s just not as great as some of the numbers on the other jerseys.

This is one thing to remember about the jerseys, simple is always better, but don’t make them too simple. This jersey really hits both sides of that balance. Don’t add too many things to the jersey, but put just enough detail into it that it matters.

Like other fans, we just wish these jerseys were available for purchase. We know about the auctions, and these might be next to go up for sale, but it would be nice to have a chance to buy the warmups as just a jersey.
