AstroCree Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Are the Oilers using a different shade of orange because it looks awful. It doesn't blend well with the navy at all. I thought bringing navy back would improve their look but I was wrong. This looks drab as hell. Compared to what they were using before. This really pops and it looked great. Navy was a mistake and the Oilers should look into bringing back their old set ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Harry Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The orange on the Adidas jerseys is actually brighter, but you can’t tell in those pictures. The orange from the 2015-17 jerseys was pretty dark and looked almost red on television. As they were a straight throwback, they were emulating the burnt orange colour from the WHA jerseys.

Placebo Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The Oilers should stick to navy blue and the bright orange. Navy blue home with bright orange. The royal/lighter blue has not aged well. Bright on bright. Much like the Calgary retros, they look dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite positive the picture below would have spot lights on the players as well, post goal being scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Harry Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 That’s a fairly nice looking script logo, but it’s not very legible. Also LOL at Schiefele adjusting his helmet size after the sticker was put on. The sticker is literally split in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will hopefully look better on the alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 The Oilers new orange sweater looks drabber because of the navy touching the orange in the stripes. Those two colors next to each other really get muddy and bring down the look. Navy next to a clean crisp white would look much better. Basically just fill in the orange stripes with navy.

I agree that the wide stripe looks better with the orange jersey. The tri-stripe however looks better on the white and blue jerseys. The Oilers kinda gave themselves a conundrum where they wanted to change the home colour without sacrificing too many elements of their classic 80s design. I think they should have went all in with the WHA striping if they wanted the orange Home jersey to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also baseball caps generally exist outside of normal rules of design. They have their own rules they follow, that don't even need to match the rest of the uniform they're being worn with. Baseball caps are their own thing.

Baseball caps are their own thing. That makes sense. Still, the Oilers’ classic set didn’t really have the “bleeding” issue present on the current orange set: The orange separates well from the blue background. White outlines on the orange has the potential to “bleed” together. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 3 hours ago, SFGiants58 said: That looks absolutely beautiful, but so do the new orange homes. I'm glad the Oilers went in a fresh new direction for the McDavid era while honoring their rich heritage on select days. I wouldn't change anything about their current jersey lineup. Edit: Why is it only being worn for 4 games? Make it the full time alternate look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Can someone edit that to be navy blue? That would be ideal for their home. Maybe drop the orange cuffs to differentiate but that would be a good middle ground in establishing a new era and honoring past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
