Licensing rights play the biggest factor here. The devs can’t just put in all jerseys as teams and/or leagues either won’t give permission or it’s a huge expense that doesn’t make sense in the grand scheme for the game.
I would love it if we could buy jerseys as DLC. But maybe not enough people would be interested in that for it to make a profit.
Otherwise a way around this licensing issue is to make it possible to import our own jerseys or at least logos in to the game, so we can create the jerseys we want in the create a team mode.
Why did Buffalo get their update in for launch but not Ottawa? So weird.
Ottawa's new jersey was announced after the last roster update. We'd love to have this one in the game, but if it happens, we'll have to wait for a future roster update to be released in order to add it.

To add on to this and set proper expectations, it's possible many jersey submissions in here won't make it into NHL 21, we can't make any guarantees. It's important to field these inquiries though so the team can reference it for future updates and NHL titles.
Hopefully we see more jerseys added in updates going forward, I know the team would like to and working hard to make this game even better from launch. Appreciate all the submissions thus far in the thread! Nice trip down memory lane with these nostalgic jerseys.

I am not sure how many of us expect all of these to be in the game, but it would be cool to see at least a few of the throwbacks in the game. Personally, my favorite is the Bruins gold pooh-bear uniform. If that could ever get back into the rotation I don't think I would ever use any other Bruins jersey. I love that uniform so much, partly because others dislike it, and another reason is that it is a kick-tail uniform.
Btw. I don't get why people are posting current (or in this case future) jerseys that'll make it into the game anyway. This should be about jerseys from the past, that are not in the game.

If just one or two would make it in future NHL 21 updates I would be very happy. Glad to know there is hope!
If I could have just one jersey added, I'd probably choose this. Pure 90's nostalgia from Lemieux/Jagr era.
The logo is already in the game as the Hartford Whalers alumni team logo so it shouldn't be a licensing issue, right? And if you can't add the jersey then AT LEAST please add the logo to create a team so we can create these jerseys ourselves.

In fact, many of the logos from the jerseys posted in this thread are already in the game in some way. So if they can't add the jerseys due to licensing, then can they not at least add all these logos to Create a Team mode so we can go ahead and make the jerseys ourselves?
The 90's Sharks jersey posted in this thread - logo are on the 06/07 Sharks jerseys in the game
The 90's Dallas jersey posted in this thread - logo are on the 06/07 Stars jerseys in the game
The 90's Penguins jersey posted avove - logo are on the shoulders of the 06/07 Pens jerseys in the game
The Bruins 90's and 70's jerseys posted in the thread - logo are on the 06/07 Bruins alternates in the game
Whalers jersey in the previous post - logo are on the Whalers alumni team.
Why aren't these logos in Create a Team?
Or even better - allow us to import logos or even jerseys. That way you would need zero licensing.
So yeah the thing is, I don't really buy the licensing excuse. There are easy ways to go around it.

Would you rather see a new thread for every jersey release? Or just one thread for everything? It makes more sense to put them all in one area instead of having new posts for each additional jersey reveal.

There's no need to post pictures of new jersey releases. They are aware of them and will add them anyway. At least this was always the case.
Btw. When will they finally put the new Sens jerseys into the game? The game is out for almost three weeks now...

Oh la la! 👍
Pure ugliness.

Among the best jerseys of the 90's.
