2013 but i get your point. putting on some stripe weight for the long winter (rebuild)

probably going to be something similar to the rangers new alt, but i would prefer if the gradient went from teal to white down the sleeves (from the elbow) rather than the normal striping split up into more lines edit: or like this, great concept @Puckguy14

with the mixing and matching of teal helmets with the road uniforms, a door has been opened to possibly mix and match the black equipment with the regular sets

i know they're much maligned for being generic and having no red but i still think these are kinda nice. they would probably improve by replacing the crest with the current shield and the dumb shoulder patches with the palm tree secondary. it still doesn't fit the panthers identity but in a vacuum i quite enjoy them. it's also been said to death but i will repeat that the columbus alt should be the basis for their primaries with an updated number font. everything else (winter classics aside) - bleh

there's gonna be some very upset people in here lol

you're entitled to the opinion on the combination but I think it looks fantastic despite me agreeing with the aforementioned rule of two matching elements. however, I think they look washed out to you because of the inconsistent lighting/quality of these photos. under sunshine these (and any) charger combos look amazing and vibrant, without the oversaturation like the rams' colors fall victim to. even under stadium lights they pop: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gEK0WAajKvM" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4H33_Cj2Gc8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

did they really call it a collar yolk?? I dont want to make the WVU stereotypes but they might be doing it themselves

in terms of lighting sofi is essentially an outdoor stadium, but considering there was a whole tropical storm happening outside it looks way duller than normal

without that red pop of color the knights would be almost as dull as the kings current black and white or the just mentioned and much maligned pittsburgh edge-era or tiny anaheim. it gives the set some life and contrast and ties in to the excellent secondary logo that would otherwise look a little too out of place without the stripe. I like to think of it as some type of armband or pauldron akin to a ceremonial/decorative cape if we are applying this to the features of an actual knight. the gold and red together is just very regal.

yeah the neon is fine in a vacuum but the burnt orange fits philly a lot better and you're right, has been around for far longer. this fits the broad street bullies brand and style that the team (tries) to lean into: far better than this (also has to do with the emphasis on black but still) i've maintained the reverse retro 1.0 is the best the flyers have ever looked. hopefully they take something like that into consideration for the redesign since they probably won't do a 1-1 swap to that.

meh, as a colorado alum I think these are hokey in comparison to the current ones. I get they wore these in the glory years but they need some modernizations. the current uniforms have the italicized font and numbers that match the logo motion and the bolder double layer numbers are stronger and make it look less like a catalog look. I can live with adding stripes to the current look but I think with such solid and restrained color blocking between helmet/jersey/pants it is ultimately unneeded. side note that pic of coach mac feels like it encapsulates his tenure at CU

the black helmet has been matte/satin since the redesign, and they do occasionally break out metallic logos like here i think they may have done a metallic version of the regular logo at some point or another but i'm not too sure. it looks great for sure

it looks like these new arizona alts have a slightly different shade of maroon than the howler uniforms. i guess bauer can't match that color or something. no one else wears the bauer 4500 on the coyotes so hard to tell. but that helmet's been around forever

anyone see the matte finish on zack kassian's alternate helmet? thought it was maybe because of a special helmet model but he wears the super prevalent bauer 4500. interesting to see, don't know if i've ever seen such a finish on a hockey helmet.
