  1. You should have seen it in person…
  2. Slap a Flaming C on this and Bob’s your uncle.
  3. No one is above the law here at CCSLC. You Clevejack a thread, you live with the consequences.
  4. The no federations logo rule dates back to 2008 (though it wouldn't have affected hockey until 2010). As I recall, it was sprung on teams shortly before the 2008 games, which is why we saw crap like this:
  5. So the US is a blue lids team now? They were a white lid team for as long as I recall. Or did IIHF finally get rid of their stupid one helmet rule. Now they just need red breezers.
  6. Maybe my aesthetics are shaped by being a fan of college hockey, but I think shorter words look worse diagonally than longer words. I also don't think that the Rangers should own such a traditional hockey look just because they're the NHL team most associated with it.
  7. Not the first to say this, but those Blues jerseys would look good in the current two-tone blue:
  8. This is the key to online shopping for fitted hats:
  9. Even Gopher fans like me can admit these look nice. I'm fine with North Dakota using a wordmark on their hockey jerseys. I think their Hawks logo is a little too simple to be the primary crest of a hockey jersey.
  10. Does this mean no more grey? Good. I like the maroon set and the gold breezers. But the white jerseys need some more gold.
  11. Qualitatively, I’ve never considered Toronto, Tampa Bay, or Vancouver dark blue teams, especially in terms of their actual textile colors.
  12. I only draw the distinction because Equal Protection jurisprudence under the 14th Amendment draws the same distinction. That is all.
  13. * ethnocentrism or offensive based on national origin. Probably not racism because by most definitions, French Canadien is no more a race than, e.g., Pennsylvania Dutch. It's important that since the original post is now censored, at least we can properly characterize what was offensive about it.
  14. I wasn't exactly cherry-picking. I image searched the NCAA D1 Nike schools I knew off the top of my head (not hard as a Gopher fan, because all of the B1G except Wisconsin and Notre Dame are Nike) and then picked some illustrative images. I didn't pick what I considered the best looks, just the schools' typical looks. And yes, Ohio State clearly is the worst of the bunch, but they're not really a traditional hockey school. My point is that because many of these schools are traditional hockey powers, they've clearly instructed Nike to give them traditional looks. Sure, there are some Nike-specific quirks, like the collars and the incomplete sleeve stripes, but those are minor compared, e.g., to Edge 1.0 or Nike Swift. And even though Nike uses templates for national teams (surely inspired by what it does for soccer national teams), schools like Minnesota, Michigan, etc., have avoided using those templates. I didn't say every look Nike would create for the NHL teams would be good, I just said Nike would do okay. Probably no better or worse than Adidas. Sure, the Nike collar is weird. So is the Adidas collar.
  15. Why? Nike seems to do fine with their NCAA teams. I think they would do okay outfitting the NHL.
  16. Also, the San Francisco Giants look like Halloween...
  17. A fauxback meant to look as if the team existed 40 years ago... isn't that what these were?
  18. I'm still waiting for a Christian school to go with the nickname Snakedoves or Dovesnakes based on Matthew 10:16: "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."
  19. Poland looks good. Too much monochrome in international soccer these days. Take France-Germany for example: Both teams could and should be wearing their iconic looks. France should be wearing white shorts while Germany should be wearing black shorts.
  20. Can't wait to see how the Chicago Red Stars' branding shames the Fire's again this season...
