Chewbacca

Nice to see some people in these forums still have a sense of humour.

If you think the name suggestions here are terrible, what do you think the Utah NHL team should use as a name?

Utah Yetis; Salt Lake Strikers; Salt Late Stingers; Utah Blizzard Eagles; Utah Icebirds; Utah Snowbirds; Utah Desert Eagles (if they can’t use Golden Eagles or just Eagles); Utah Snoweagles; Utah Yellowjackets (I could see Columbus rejecting this idea); Utah or Salt Lake Bison; Salt Lake Seagulls; Salt Lake Snowy Owls. Those are ideas I think would be alright choices. I hope this new team will at least use a unique colour. My choices would be either purple or a baby blue.

I have a feeling the Canucks might just elect to wear the Skate in the playoffs.

Although I much prefer their original uniforms, I’d gladly take that over their current head-scratcher of an away uniform any day.

I think it was such a waste for BC to bring out that gun-metal alternate for two lousy games a couple years ago only to never use it again. I would like to see them give that uniform at least one more season of usage. As I say that, BC needs an orange jersey asap.

Although the Avalanche have won the Stanley Cup in the past few years with their current look, instead of messing with their uniforms, I would love to see them go back to the drawing board and come up with something new.

I didn’t make the comment that I liked the Stars current alternate jersey just to be a jerk. I think it is a cool, outside the box idea that (I think) works well for an alternate jersey for the Stars.

I think a jersey with this trumpet logo or the rejected third jersey would be a cool idea for the Stadium Series. It seems like that event is all about going crazy with uniforms. That jersey would fit into what the Stadium Series is all about and I have a feeling a lot of fans would love to see it on the ice. Aside from the Stadium Series, I think the trumpet logo on a third jersey would be a nice change. It could make for a really cool jersey.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the Blues bring out a St. Louis Eagles-inspired sweater for the Winter Classic.

After seeing the Flyers/Devils Stadium Series game, I did not like either uniform. I find it interesting that years ago the NHL would make teams such as the Flames switch to white letters for player names after initially planning on black letters yet New Jersey gets the ok to have completely illegible letters on their jersey tonight. I think it’s too close to their regular home jersey but made worse without any white. I like the logo. That design flipped in black would be a big improvement over the Jersey jersey if they do another third jersey anytime soon.

I think the best way forward for the Wild is to switch to forest green and gold.

Is it bad that I absolutely love the Stars alternate jersey? I think as a third jersey, it is really cool.

After Tampa wears this uniform for the required amount of time, I think it’s time for them to try a third jersey that is a completely new idea. I think they need something that uses an electric blue and perhaps some lightning bolts on the sleeves. If I sound crazy saying this, so be it, I don’t care. Tampa Bay needs to go back to the drawing board with their uniforms. If they are going to keep their main uniforms as is, at least give us an alternate uniform that’s exciting and fresh. I usually prefer simple uniforms and I kind of think I will like their new alternate but still… I think Tampa Bay has become a little too simple.

Thank goodness, this looks much better as a white jersey than it would if they went with a cream colour.
