The_Admiral Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I don't like the navy, the silver, or the armpits. Conceivably, the Sabres could've worn their 1970 uniforms right into the present without making a move. Anything they've done since 1996 was unnecessary.I agree with you about 'angry-goat-head' years, but I'll admit I really liked the red thirds they wore at the time (with the crossed sabres). Then, I accepted the slug jerseys because I was just ecstatic that they went back to blue & gold. All that being said, I LOVE the new thirds (soon to be regular homes), armpits, piping and all! It's a good spin on past and present.The crossed swords (snicker) alternate was much better than the goat heads, but still vastly inferior to the originals, so what's the point? One step forward after ten steps back. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancouver use Blue as their main colour with Green and White accents, while Hartfords Uniforms were Primarily Green with Blue and White accents. Saying the Canucks wear Whalers uniforms is like saying the Rangers wear Canadiens uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Regardless, the Canucks were using blue and green nine years prior to the Whalers adopting those colours.

ElwoodCuse Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 An anonymous source in today's Uni Watch ticker says there will be no Penguins alternate next year for "Winter Classic-related" reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Minnesota 10 Anniversary logo for next seasonEh, not feeling this at all. The Wild looked better when Iron Range Red was an accent colour and Green was primarily used. The oversized hockey sticks look goofy and that banner needs some outlines to draw it together. Still better than the Thrashers 10th Anniversary logo though (Like it could be worse ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demondg1 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 An anonymous source in today's Uni Watch ticker says there will be no Penguins alternate next year for "Winter Classic-related" reasons.The admin over at IceJerseys says otherwise. I really can't divulge any information - as we cherish our solid relationship with Reebok. I can give a bit of a teaser though: The proposed Penguins third is quite a radical design. I have a feeling it will generate strong opinions in either a "love it / hate it" position. http://forums.icejerseys.com/index.php?showtopic=2423&st=20&p=31420entry31420So many conflicting reports on this jersey.

The Uni Watch guy says he only heard about it this past Friday. I doubt they would scrap an alternate entirely, they'd just put it off a year so they could sell a retro jersey next year and an alternate the year after that.

GMW79 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 You know, the more I see the Kings' black/silver thirds, the more I wish they'd switch to these and the color scheme full-time. All they'd need to do is put the current crown logo on the chest instead of the alt LA shield. Oh, and get rid of the white armpits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and get rid of the white armpits.I think it's obvious they are going to transition back to that color scheme eventually. I think they look good, but it's too bad that they don't use purple as their primary color. They're the only team in the league with that color, use that, their are plenty of black jerseys in the NHL. I think something like this would work well for them, and be unique: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMW79 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Does anyone know if Nashville or Buffalo will be wearing their alternate jerseys in the playoffs since their new sets will be based on them?Watching the Hawks/Preds game now. Unfortunately, no, Nashville isn't wearing their thirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebod39 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Minnesota 10 Anniversary logo for next seasonThis looks like a "give the intern something to do" project. The kerning between the numbers is horrendous and the not so subtle reference to crossed sticks is amateur. The banner is just badly rendered, why is it angled? it adds nosense of motion. To read that SME Design did this is surprising, how the mighty have fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purple always gave me a weird vibe when Sacramento's NBA team has the same name and colors. The silver and black kings were definitely more iconic. Return to those colors, simplify the uniforms, and restore some tradition to the franchise. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

I like the purple/black scheme they have now because it's unique to them. There are too many black jerseys in the league already, and it seems like the Kings rolled out the black/silver to cater to the Raiders fans...
