The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I like the new Leafs look and logo. Classic, sharp, simple, and effective. I just wish the word "Toronto" on the logo was flat and horizontal rather than arched but other than that, pretty solid. The Catch of the Day!

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 While I'm glad the Penguins went back to the old look, I will miss the old gold. When I look at the "gold" on these "new" uniforms I think of yellow. To me gold is the color of actual gold. Whether its Gold bars Gold coins or a Gold medal The gold from the previous set looked more like Gold to me than the yellow/gold they have now. The Catch of the Day!

OnWis97 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I like what the 'Guins are doing. The 1980s set was great overall, but the (then, home) white jersey hem stripes were kinda weird. Of course I think they kinda missed here too; to many stripes. Either way, I am glad they have one yellow/gold now and have moved on from something they never should have done. These jerseys give me a nostalgic 1980s (my "golden era" of hockey jerseys) feel. They are firmly in my top-5 now.

elliott Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Nice... Well at least the hem stripe on the away unis will match the stripes on the arms. The hem stripe on the black version of these uniforms still doesn't really match properly. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I knew it would happen, but I'm not happy about it. Don't confuse my reaction. YELLOW and black is ten times better for the PIttsburgh Penguins than vegas gold and black. Just was never a huge fan of those jerseys and watching them in the playoffs on the EDGE template I just thought they looked really stale. I was hoping they'd go back to them, but fix the original's problems. In other words, what they wore from 93-98, but with the skating penguin logo. It's essentially what Edmonton did when they should've gone to a modern version of the throwbacks rather than a direct copy. The white jersey always had that weird floating yellow stripe and it's back, but bigger than ever, which is actually the one improvement because now it better matches the stripes on the sleeves. I would love to take those socks and match the sleeve and hem stripes on them, but that would just be too obvious and look too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFGiants58 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That's pretty much what I'd figure the Pens would do. I am glad they enlarged the floating yellow stripe (bringing it more in line with the original version of those uniforms). However, the big yellow hem stripes and the non-matching socks/yellow blob on the pants is still a downgrade. Shameless self-plug, but here is what I would have done to update the Pens' back-to-back Cup set: I've evened out the striping widths on the sleeves and hems, for consistency's sake. I did add a bit of black under the main hem stripe of the road sweater, to match the cuffs/give the illusion of a straight hem (in a manner similar to the St. Louis Blues). The pants stripe now reflects the sleeve stripes of the home sweater. I switched the color balance of the numbers on the home sweater, with white numbers and athletic gold outlines. I kept the number font, as it's a nice modern block font that looks less clunky than the throwback font. There's no alternate mark, aside from the 1990's wordmark (cleaned up to be a two-color wordmark).

twi Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Penguins look more distinctive today than they did yesterday, or before the playoffs at any rate. Good change. The Maple Leafs are just there. Nothing to even talk about uniform-wise either positive or negative. We already knew about the biggest change (the logo) so that mitigated the impact of the reveal.

NeverSayNever Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Great job with the Penguins templates. Seems like the Pens would benefit from a secondary logo shoulder patch of the quality of the Blackhawks tomahawks or the previous robopenguin? Wonder if the home black socks could have a bit more interest within the striping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
