On a side note, not sure how I feel about them wearing Whaler sweaters. I don't wear a t-shirt with a picture of my ex-wife on it. Maybe they shouldn't either.
I wore cooperall's as a kid. They were the coolest thing. But if you fell down they would make you go faster, they were slippery …..hockey socks would slow you down on the ice if you fell.
It’s funny reading what i’m assuming is American announcers calling them socks LOL 😂 We use to wear them in minor hockey in Canada in novice & atom league lol
"I'm pretty sure the players will be excited to take those off" was a statement for the whole uniform not just those snazzy dress slacks. Thankfully Carolina didn't adopt these colors in the move cuz black on red looks tough.

Those are the most ridiculous and ugly thing that ever happened to hockey. Never do this again.
I'm getting some Roller Hockey International flashbacks. 👍🏽
I miss the old Whalers uniforms, but those pants are hideous. I feel like I'm playing roller hockey looking at those
Did the caption guy have a stroke
The Cooperall girdles were great. The long pants were horrible though.
Where do they send that crap afterwards? Auction it off ?
Cooperalls were right. Headbands were never a thing. Get it together.
Rcokin… remember when you could at least rely on news feeds for grammar? Should have worn them all game! God bless the Cooperall!!
Canes R cokin' the Cooperalls!
I lived those days. Even the Howe family couldn't help!!😂
It’s sad when these teams pile on the former cities
Should be black
No it’s not a cool look haha 😆 far from it and never was. Shants and socks forever the best and most traditional💪🏒
They tried some very similar track pants in the NHL before and it only lasted for one season
Gotta ❤ those Whaler jerseys.
I remember the Flyers started this short-lived trend in 1982.
Lmao how old is the announcer? He's never seen the cooperalls 😂

There is nothing cool about cooperalls. They were dumb in the 80s and dumb today.
I remember when the Flyers wore pants. they were the only team in the league wearing them!😮
