The New League Jerseys

Well, if you have not heard yet, the league is changing the jersey material

with all teams. Aparently the new material will not take on water and will

be 20 something percent lighter.

Also, I heard them claim that all the designs were being changed on all 
teams.

I looked at some of the team changes and I think the changes look
ridiculous 
from the last jersey design.

So what gives? Does the NHL have full control over the jerseys? Who was 
allowed to pick the designs? Why are some of the designs so ridiculous 
looking?

Look at the Dallas Stars new design compared to their last design...
