DTConcepts Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 That away (Minus the unnecessary patches, and plus an arm stripe) should be what the Canadiens are wearing right now. Gorgeous except for the previously mentioned errors. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I'm still not understanding the singular name. They can still call themselves the RocketS and pay homage to Maurice. It sounds stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name sounds terrible, much like the "Stanford Cardinal." The jersey looks more like a Panthers jersey than a Canadiens jersey. The "9" is visual clutter and is easily confused for the players' number. The torch looks like an upside-down mountain. Frankly, this is a dumpster fire with a reasonably good logo plastered over it. Agreed. What a mess. It seems absurd to name the club after Richard and then overload the tribute with additional references to him as though that wasn't enough. And the 9 and flames are supposed to be one element. Quote A graphic flame icon propelling the Rocket's number upwards is also found below the player's number on the back and on the socks, drawing a reference to the speed of a propelling rocket. The problem is that there's no visual continuity at all between the two elements - they look totally unrelated. If the 9 is supposed to be a rocket, design it to look like a rocket and not a 9 above an upside-down Coors Light ad. I do like the R. But even that is problematic - the logo only works on the red sweater. Allowing the red stripe to continue behind the blue R eliminates that negative space and makes it harder to read. I really want to like this set. And there is a lot that I like individually. But together, it's a cluttered mess. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The weird shield logo on the sleeves is ugly as :censored:... LE ROC KET Really? I'm not sure how we missed this before. The "Le Roc Ket" shield is actually an eye chart, but they forgot to make the letters smaller as you move down.

Everything else works very well, in my opinion.

The_Admiral Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The Canadiens have a singular name in French: "le club du hockey Canadien." Don't forget the Baie-Comeau Drakkar! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
