Earlier this week NHL teams unveiled their Hometown Remix uniforms — a league-wide alternate uni program, similar to MLB’s City Connect and the NHL’s own Reverse Retro. When I saw the Rangers’ design (shown above), I wondered to myself how they planned to handle the “C” and “A” letters.
The answer came last night, when this uniform made its on-ice debut. Here’s a shot of Rangers captain J.T. Miller, followed by a zoom-in:
That’s certainly … different. And if Miller’s “C” has been replaced by “Captain,” then the guys who normally wear the “A” must have “Alternate,” right?
