Sport Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 The Islanders are curious to me because I think they look great, but the blue jerseys are not quite what they wore for their Dynasty years. I don't get why they'd go back to those uniforms and choose to wear the 73-76 jerseys instead of going with exactly what they wore from 80-83. The Oilers are just the opposite. They went back to exactly what they were wearing in their heyday, but I'm not sure if they should've. The Penguins are about to make this same mistake. The blue jersey has far too much orange, and easy fix - flip the color order around on the numbers and loose the orange on the sleeves below the stripes. Those jerseys look gross because of the orange numbers with the blue and white outlines and the orange sleeves make no sense, especially when the white uniform doesn't have any color there. Make the numbers white with blue and orange outlines, change the bottom part of the sleeves to blue. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also replace the white outline with blue on their white jersey crest. Totally disagree with changing the Oilers, though. The NHL had to get colour back in the game after being in the "dark ages" of the 90s and early 2000s. The Islanders already use white numbers with an orange outline on their blues. The Oilers without orange numbers and shoulder yokes is like the Rangers using white numbers on their blues instead of red. The Penguins are also doing the right thing by going back to their own version of black and yellow. Teams need need to be distinguishable from one another. As long as it's not to the extreme of the 90s era Avalanche, '99 Stars and Thrashers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFGiants58 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Once again, the Penguins find themselves abandoning their Cup-clinching uniform. Fortunately, it'll be a semi-upgrade. However messy that old white sweater is (with it's Bruins-esque pattern, odd color balance, and weird floating hem stripe), it's still better than Vegas Gold on an Edge click-n-fill template. But it should undergo some changes. Seriously, look at the white sweater they'll probably adopt: All they have to do to fix it up is to dump the floating yellow stripe, swap the white "stripe" for a black one, replace the thin black stripe with a white one, and leave the yellow intact. Not only does this create a better match with the striping on the sleeves, but it can also be the base for a sock stripe pattern that isn't delightfully Bruins-esque. Besides, they didn't lift the Cup in their Athletic Gold-era white sweaters, so the "they won two Cups in it" argument no longer applies. Can I also say that I find the Sharks' whole "lighter and faster" argument regarding their decision to abandon hem stripes and shoulder yokes has reached a new level of hilarity, given how they couldn't match the speed of the Penguins (who largely wore "heavier" uniforms with large crests, big stripes, and/or Edge click-n-fill stripes)?

Morgan33 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Speaking of the Penguins, how disheartening was it to see them lift the cup in that awful uniform last night. Ruined the whole the damn thing. 6 minutes ago, SFGiants58 said: All they have to do to fix it up is to dump the floating yellow stripe, swap the white "stripe" for a black one, replace the thin back stripe with a white one, and leave the yellow intact.

Besides, they didn't lift the Cup in their Athletic Gold-era white sweaters, so the "they won two Cups in it" argument no longer applies. Couldn't have put it better myself. It's annoying when teams throwback to a good uniform without taking time to tweak it into a great one. What you are proposing would result in exactly that.

It was as ideal as that scenario could've been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 A color swapped version of the original Vegas gold set would be the ideal uniform. I wouldn't mind seeing a PITTSBURGH alt either.

habsfan1 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 The problem with the Penguins retros is mainly the overly large waist stripe that takes up too much space... There needs to be a better color and striping balance. Keep the same template, but make some tweaks so certain parts don't stick out like sore thumbs.

The Championship hats used the old gold logo. There has to be a change coming, you don't put just a third jersey logo on the championship hat, which didn't even match what they were wearing that game.

chcarlson23 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Just now, hockey week said: The Championship hats used the old gold logo.

Well it's still only the logo, and what I mean is that they'll be for sure wearing Pittsburgh Gold next year, but the uniforms may not necessarily be direct throwbacks...
