CS85 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 What the hell is it with these uniform designers and their affinity for ruining collars? It's bad enough they tinker as much as they do anyway, but some buffoon is always trying to push awful collars. STOP IT. STOP MAKING COLLARS LOOK STUPID. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. IT'S NOT GOOD DESIGN. IT'S NOT AESTHETICALLY APPEALING, BOLD, BRAVE, OR ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT. IT'S JUST DUMB. GO EAT FIBERGLASS. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

habsfan1 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 ^^^ #75 for the Penguins in the upper photo looks like he's wearing a yellow polo underneath a black sweater. The collars can look like an undershirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 First time seeing the white unis in action. The new sock stripe really does wonders for this set. Makes the shoulder striping more purpose and balances the entire uniform. The new number/name font is a big upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 ^^ My takeaway from that Blue Jackets photo is the white number on the back of the Blues jersey. It's bordering on distracting/blinding. Maybe it's more of an issue of what I'm used to (since it's not like white numbers on a blue jersey is that unusual) but it's not simply a downgrade (though I feel it is)...but an annoyance. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

The Blues going with white numbers on blue is just like the Bruins using black socks, goes against what the team wore for most (in the Blues case all) of its history just for the sake of change.

Nice job, adidas. I'm more disappointed about what they did to the road uni. The all black collar and insert was a really nice look. Sad that it's gone.

Nice job, adidas. If looking like old rich guys with a polo under their jersey is the only "flaw"...I'll take it. IMO, I think the Pens still have one of the best looking kits in the NHL. Especially, if the Pens lift the Cup for a third time in a row....I'll take it. I do think, though, we dodged a bullet considering what New Jersey will be outfitted with this season....sheesh.

B-mer Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 most of those are solid improvements. I still don't like the overall shape. The massive pentagon makes the rest of the collar look weird like on Montreal or Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I actually don't mind the new collars, for the most part. Then again, I was never really a fan of the Reebok ones either. In fact, I think the Red Wings actually look better with the new collar... The rounded neck scoop and thick red collar remind me of an old hockey sweater: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jackets' - and the Stamps too, now that I look at it - number fonts might just be the Kings font, but edited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
