Pass or Fail: Carolina Hurricanes’ new home and away uniforms
The Carolina Hurricanes have been putting out teasers of their new uniforms on Instagram for over a week. On Tuesday, all of the pieces were put together as the team unveiled their new home and road looks at PNC Arena:

According to general manager Jim Rutherford, he was approached by the marketing team who suggested that they make a uniform change after the franchise's 15th year anniversary, which was this past season.

For us, they aren't one of the top looks in the NHL, but they are a dramatic improvement from what the Hurricanes have been wearing. We never did like the base pattern.
