I'm mostly talking about cheesy high school logos where it was like the body of a tiger spelled out by the word TIGERS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers6884 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The only things that are bad about the current Kings set and the Lightning alt are the crests.I agree, but I think the better option for the Lightning (besides dropping the silly “Bolts" nickname) would be to bring back their old uniforms. I know, people think they're “outdated" by today's standards, but that was the charm of them. It was a unique set that set them apart from their competitors, and it gave them their own identity. Now they seem to try too hard look like an Original Six team (the Minnesota Wild's alternates are another example of this). I've said it before but I'll say it again, a 90s expansion team should look like a 90s expaninsion team, and a historical team should look classic. There is no vise-versa for this. The whole trend of less is more on hockey uniforms need to stop. I don't want the uniforms to be so crazy and awful that they look like something Nike or Addidas made, but I'd like for uniforms to get more creative, instead of just filling a template with a borring design. At least I'll get my creativity fix when the Coyotes bring back their inaugural uniforms for a few games, which believe me, is the only reason to get interested in a Phoenix Coyotes game. Alright, I'm done with my semi-rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGM13 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The Lightning look great. The only problem with their set is that they look like Toronto. In a vacuum, they're the best jerseys they've ever worn. 1 Quote GO OILERS-GO BLUE JAYS-GO ESKIMOS-GO COLTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norva Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The overall design of the Lightning jersey is nice, I like it, but I think they should change the colors. I liked the old scheme, predominately silver and black with maybe some blue trim. The silver and black always reminded me of what those Central Florida thunderstorms look like, they fit the name perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I like roundels on hockey uniforms. I think they work best as shoulder patches, not so much as primary crests. Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I hate the Black Pirates top that they seem to have worn 150 times this season. Looks like a high school or minor league jersey with just the cap logo on it.

In a vacuum, they're the best jerseys they've ever worn.I agree. They may look like a love-child of the Leafs and Wings, but at least they actually look god, something that can't be said about any of their previous looks. Though, I wish they still had the victory stripes on the underarms and the Florida state outline on the shoulder patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Scorcho Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 The Lightning look great. The only problem with their set is that they look like Toronto. In a vacuum, they're the best jerseys they've ever worn.Yeah I totally agree. I really like the new logo, and I hated the old one. Overall it's a beautiful, clean and simple look. It's just a shame they couldn't have varied the striping patterns a little to avoid the obvious comparisons to Toronto and Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VikWings Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I think the Cardinals, Ravens (when worn with white pants) and Eagles black 3rds are the best of their sets.Especially Arizona. I think the home and roads are atrocious but love the black ones.It's not BFBS when it's part of the teams color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yes, the Cardinals' black jersey is very much BFBS. They've had black accents on the road jerseys for a while, and in the recent rebrand they added black outlines to the home jersey and some black piping, too. Still, they are the Cardinals and their identity has always been cardinal red. Them taking the field in white helmets and pants with a black jersey, with a tiny bit of red you can't see from any distance is definitely not any kind of organic alternate for them. I'm only surprised they didn't double down on stupid and pair them with black pants, to make the players that much more intimidating.

Lights Out Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The striping inconsistencies drove me nuts with that set... they also looked like the Giants.They should have never gotten rid of the red helmet, though.
