A new report has surfaced that seems to confirm that Gary Bettman and the NHL are considering a major rule change that will impact all 32 teams and even the fans.

Over the last week, the NHL has been testing out several potential new rules during the 4 Nations Face-Off.

While many of these rules have been met with mixed opinions the NHL continues to monitor fan feedback as the next Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to be negotiated in the near future.

One of the things that has been a major positivie to come out of the 4 Nations Face-Off in the opinion of many has been the creative yet simple jersey designs for every team in the tournament.

The jerseys have received a lot of positive feedback and now the NHL is taking notice and considering a major rule change to the way NHL teams wear jerseys during a game.

Gary Bettman And The NHL Considering A Major Rule Change

According to a report from Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News the NHL is considering changing back to home teams wearing white jerseys while road teams would wear dark jerseys.

He also ponders whether the success of the 4 Nations Face-Off game between Canada and the USA where both teams wore dark jerseys with Canada wearing red and the United States wearing blue.

This would be a huge change for the NHL that would impact both the players and the fans with the fans likely being impacted more overall than the players.

For fans it would allow them to see other jerseys from teams around the league and make seeing an alternate jersey for a specific team coming into town more special.

With the CBA set to be negotiated in the near future it will be interesting to see if Bettman and the NHL front office will talk about the potential jersey change that has now been brought up.

As more reports come out regarding this potential rule change and other issues on the table when the NHLPA and the NHL discuss the next CBA we will pass along all of those latest updates.
