Hockey Players Sport New Uniforms

from National Public Radio

The National Hockey League introduced a new uniform yesterday, in time for the All Star Game tomorrow night. Average fans will probably not notice much difference, but the NHL claims new material will retain less moisture and allow players to move better. Michele talks with Paul Lukas, who follows trends in sports uniforms. He writes the Uni Watch column for ESPN.com and edits UniWatchblog.
