Not sure if fans have noticed or not, the ugly "tails" that were introduced with the Reebok EDGE jersey's have been customized by the team. Check out the photo, you can see that someone has stitched the tail so that it no longer appears. I wonder if they will do this for fans when they drop $250 bucks.
The NHL can even use it as another way to gain additional revenue by charging extra as part of the name and number stitching:
Store clerk: Sir would you like your tail stitched?
Rangers Fan: WHAT I'll knock you silly you creep.
Store clerk: No I mean't would you like that ridiculous looking tail on the back of your new sweet jersey removed?
Rangers Fan: Oh, of course, I hate the tail.
Store clerk: That will be another $20 for tail stitching.
To all you fans thinking of buying a new Rbk EDGE, I'd hold off. Reebok is already allowing players the option to play with an alternative fabric jersey. Check out my Blog about it: Reebok to Replace EDGE Jersey.
