With an official announcement regarding the new gear on its way, apparently some couldn’t wait to release the new Adidas NHL jerseys for next year.

The NHL has had its new deal with Adidas hyped up for a while at this point, and hockey fans were waiting on Tuesday to check out the official reveal for all of the new jerseys coming with the new apparel deal.

The deal provides Adidas with the chance to redesign the jerseys with the Adidas logo and some small changes to each team. With an official announcement still on its way, the jerseys got leaked early and are surely hit or miss.

The new gear, which you can check out here courtesy of Josh Wilson on Twitter, showcases all of the new home jerseys that you’ll see starting next season. Some of them work really well, some didn’t change at all, and some are … not so good.

Most jerseys don’t see a ton of change outside of some fonts or brighter colors, but one that sticks out as mediocre is the Nashville Predators. Their new digs get rid of the white and blue trims on the jersey for a plain, yellow look that doesn’t do the team any favors.

Arguably the biggest and most important reveal of the whole leak was the new Vegas Golden Knights jerseys, who obviously didn’t have any gear to change or improve upon from last year as an expansion team. The jerseys are mainly grey with some black on the sleeves, and mix in some gold to go along with the team’s name.

More details will be released later on in the night about the jerseys, but this leak gives at least a little taste of what’s to come on the ice starting next year.
