This one was popular at the time, and probably influenced the decision to go with a wordmark as the new logo. I liked that alt enough for what it was, but at the same time it was really overrated. I remember thinking the colors were way too close to the Kings at the time. Two teams in the same general area and you're both gonna wear black, purple, and silver? Cmon! The MD shoulder patch was bad, the wordmark wasn't much better. The only thing kind of clever about them was the stripes somewhat mimicked the stripes on a duck's wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Edmonton blues are a thing of beauty! No and I've seen a lot of outrage elsewhere besides our little complaint department here at CCSLC. Why dress like the team that won 5 Stanley Cups when you can look like the one that played in the WHA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm a fan of 3rd jerseys and this site has to be the best for pictures of it for lack of a better word the Oilers Orange jersey is just too Orange.I know.Face palm.The blue jersey's were a thing of beauty.Wear the Orange once in a while maybe when you play Calgary.

No Disney Duck, no scripts, and no webfoot-D as a primary/letter in a script. Just an ornithologically-correct Duck logo as primary, with the webfoot-D (or the early 1990's equivalent of it - gotta remember New Historicism's thesis) as an alternate would be the best possible identity for the team.

Those Edmonton blues are a thing of beauty! I like both a lot. Maybe orange a little more because it's bright and pops. But yeah the blue from the glory days looks great also. I just don't like that most of the merchandise is navy when they are royal blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCree Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I do think it's just strange that they finally start playing well in their Royal Blue dynasty sets then immediately announce they're switching to orange full time starting in the playoffs.

maz Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Despite their history of winning three of four cups while wearing their "old-is-new-again" black unit (well, kind of last year), a small, small part of me would not be surprised if the Pens wore their gold sets from the Stadium Series at home. It'd match the whole "gold-out" they do during the playoffs now. If they did that, though, for the love of god remove the "City of Champions" patch. It's already pretentious as hell, too big, and throws off the balance, but to wear that during the playoffs? No way. Bad juju. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikWings Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I loved the black Ducks Alts...as Alternates. Replacing the original jerseys mid-season and then using that as a basis for their ugly, boring, Burke-fied mess was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 My takes: EAST: Montreal v New York - If you complain about it, get off this site immediately Bottom line- I shouldn't even have to explain myself Ottawa v Boston - For the sake of consistency, i say the sens should stay with the red. I love the number font. I think the jersey needs some work in the future, for sure, but they should wear the usual home. Boston- needs to simplify a bit, but that is a problem you cant fix at this point. Black home, White away Bottom line- Not perfect. Both designs need work individually Washington v Toronto - Caps should wear the throwbacks, since they're going full time with them in the future. Its a nice look. What option do the leafs have? keep the look you've had forever. Bottom Line- Nostalgic Look Columbus v Pittsburgh - I like the Jackets home blues. They don't have a white version of the cannon, so home and road will look off. pittsburgh should not wear yellow/gold. Thats the Predators thing. Bottom line- Interesting, but the colors will work well together. Great games will come along with great uniforms in this series WEST: Chicago v Nashville - Just wear the usual, good looking matchup Bottom line- how can i complain? Minnesota v St Louis - Minnesota- wear your green. St louis looks great. This will be a nice match Bottom line- 2 of the better looking teams in the west, no complaints Anaheim v Calgary - Well, since edmonton is going orange, id say the ducks stay in black. I prefer the orange though, but we already have on in edmonton (Unfortunately). Unpopular opinion, but i like calgary's set. I think its nice actually. But if they go throwback, boy I am not opposed. Bottom line- nice matchup of modern looks San Jose v Edmonton - San Jose WEAR TEAL!!! The only team in the League with the color and they like to wear black. There needs to be more colors in this league. Where are the purples and teals? Orange has made a comeback! But speaking of orange, That's the flyers and ducks, @edmonton. You are a blue team. Its such a legendary look, why change it? there is hardly any royal blue in the 'yoffs, why would you wear orange? i get its a new era but the blue is sooooooo clean! Bottom line- so much more could be here. I guess it could be worse, but it could be so much better Well there's no flyers, so im gonna say im disappointed this year. At least we have some nice uniform matchups to look forward to in philadelphia. Bottom line- Im a blue jackets fan for the next week or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wore it as many times as possible since unveiling it, and they wore it for they're season closer... As much as I love the Blues Current set, I have a feeling that this is gonna happen... I also think that Minnesota wearing green has been confirmed... "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

Still MIGHTY Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Ducks go with their business blacks, as expected. We've officially seen the last of the orange Mighty jerseys. For now, at least. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
