A New Howl

The Coyotes franchise has undergone some major changes in recent years, first changing their name from the Phoenix Coyotes to the Arizona Coyotes.  Ownership finally stabilized, but now, there is an ongoing battle with the city of Glendale.  That last part overshadowed the team's change in uniforms, which were unveiled on Draft Day.

One of the most obvious changes to the uniforms is the addition of black, which at the very least, adds to what was a fairly ordinary look.  The waist stripes aren't obvious, as they only appear at the very bottom of the jerseys.  The arms of the jerseys are where the biggest changes occur, as the striping is noticeable while the number and letter fonts are changed.  Shoulder patches differ on both the home and away jerseys, as the home will feature a paw print with the letter A embedded within it while the away jerseys will still feature the Arizona state outline with the state flag on top and the AZ on the bottom, meaning it will remain the same as it has been on their previous jerseys.  The southwestern style design is featured inside the collar, something that has been a trend for a while for teams to feature something on the inside of the collar.

While the Coyotes didn't hit it out of the park with the new designs, it is at least a new look that will identify the team better while giving them something that may last a while.
