    You're terminally online, projecting your own views onto everyone else, and need to log off, that's what you are.

    "Oh woe is me, my team's being unfairly treated by internet randos because they covered up someone's crime for a decade!"

    With all due respect, what the is wrong with you, man? This isn't about "revenge" or any other juvenile internet BS, a man was sexually assaulted! If the Blackhawks were my team I'd want their heads too!

    It won't be a dead horse until the jerseys are replaced.
  5. mcj882000
    I hope not. Devils, this is not that hard; all you need to do for a black alternate is use your old NHL '94 away jersey:

    I know it's a common refrain around here to wait until a new look hits the ice to form an opinion about it, and in a lot of cases said new looks turn out to look better in the context of an actual game; but honestly in this case? I think the blue numbers look worse on the ice than they did at the original unveiling. Why is that blue so bright?

    Speaking of Flames-owned teams, the Stockton Heat haven't announced any new logos or jerseys, have they? So I assume they're still gonna be wearing the Flames' crappy old Edge/Adizero templates even as the parent club finally moves totally away from them once and for all? Gee, I wonder where the perception that the Flames don't care about their farm team comes from...

    And yet the aesthetics of the game are incredibly important, often to an underappreciated level. I mean, that's why we're here, right? All of us have to cheer for a team that plays like garbage some/most of the time, but how many of us want to cheer for a team that looks like garbage - or in this case, walking billboards?

    Honestly I don't really care if I don't meet your criteria of what makes a "real fan". If "real fans" are supposed to just stay in line and uncritically accept distracting exercises of corporate greed then no, I guess I never was one. Oh well.

    I genuinely dislike how much advertising creeps into literally everything anymore. Frankly I envy y'all who say this isn't a big deal, because I've found uniform ads in the NBA and NHL so distracting that I have to turn the games off after a while; they just steal my focus that much. It sucks and I hate it.
  11. mcj882000
    I guess mine's the unpopular opinion but I think they look worse now. The jersey itself needs more blue on it, not the numbers! Now IMO the numbers look as out of place as the pants did last season.

    Reviving this thread because last week I watched... Damn Yankees! (1958) - A disgruntled, middle-aged Washington Senators fan sells his soul to the devil so he can become their star slugger. (Incidentally I really liked this sweater design before I knew it was also what they wore in this film.)
  13. mcj882000
    If you actually believed the "helmet ads are only for one year" stuff, you're now officially a sucker.

    Just pull a 1983 Blues - fold the team outright and reestablish it under a new owner, giving them all of the old team's players and IP in the process

    I haven't seen anyone mention this at all anywhere, but NHL 21 came out at the end of last week and they have what appear to be the new uniforms of the Henderson Silver Knights, Vegas' new farm team going forward: ...Assuming these are the real deal and not just some mockups EA made to hold off until the real jerseys come out, I honestly don't know what I expected.
  16. mcj882000
    Since when?
  17. mcj882000
    To my knowledge Teemu Selanne played precisely one game in the Jets' classic 80s uniforms (which they switched from in 1990, two full years before his Jets debut), and it was at the 2016 Heritage Classic Alumni Game. Ordinarly I probably wouldn't even consider a post-retirement exhibition game to count for something like this, except... ...A shot of him from that of all games is what wound up on the cover of his 2019 biography, My Life.

    I left a comment on the Bucs' thread, but it seems to've been eaten? It doesn't show up in the thread (it's supposed to be the final comment on page 116, but instead the first comment on page 117 is there as well) and clicking on it in my profile just brings me to the top of page 116. EDIT: Fixed now, thanks

    I'm late to this, but I see no reason why you can't both be right.
  20. mcj882000
    Oh hey, an update already: It's not happening in 2021 either! EDIT: wait a minute, something just occurred to me about this: In February, interrupting the NHL season, aka the other big reason why the NHL pulled out of the Olympics This -ing league, man

    I'm revisiting this because I stumbled upon a news story today from January that seems to've passed with nary a mention; but amidst the news today that Russia was given a 4-year ban on all international sporting events, I went to see if they would also be prevented from participating in the upcoming, NHL-run World Cup of Hockey... only to find out that there won't be a 2020 World Cup of Hockey; they cancelled it this past January due to the CBA dispute. (You know, the CBA that was extended 7 months later?) They're apparently going to try for 2021, but we'll see how that holds up. So yes, they pulled out of the Olympics so they could host their own international tournament, which then proceeded to be cancelled due to labour disputes. Good job as usual, NHL.

    So back in NHL '98 EA didn't bother replicating the unique diagonally-bent numbers that the St. Louis Blues wore at the time, and I think they even spaced the hem down a bit to compensate for it. I bring this up now because they added the Blues' 90s retro alternate into NHL 20 this weekend via a patch; with the advancements in technology over the past 22 years, were EA finally able make it so? ...uh, no (not that I'm complaining, they look far better like that lol)
  23. mcj882000
    Well, I'm sure this'll get fixed in the day-one patch on Friday, but for now at least the pre-release EA Access version of NHL 20 has the crest on the Canucks' new away jersey in the wrong colour:

    Stumbled across something today that I think is interesting: This is Phil Collins, goofing off during a Central Park photoshoot with his band Genesis, in I'm guessing 1976 - the other guy in that pic is ex-Yes drummer Bill Bruford, who was Genesis' touring drummer for just that year - while wearing a pretty-obviously fake New York Rangers jersey; the font's more basic than their traditional lettering, and it lacks the dropshadowing to boot. I think this is the oldest case of a fake jersey I've ever seen, and it's kinda surreal to see one being worn by someone who would go on to be so famous...
  25. mcj882000
    I quote this because I've found another case of this happening: the PlayStation 2 version of NBA 2K9 still features the Seattle SuperSonics, 2 months after their messy & controversial move to Oklahoma City. (Just take that in... ) Of course, having said that... As far as I can tell this is the only place where the PS2 version acknowledges the move: as a URL on a fake decorative web browser in the game's Association mode. I wonder why they even bothered at that point, to be honest. The 360 & PS3 versions, however, do accurately feature the Thunder, since those builds of the game were finalised almost a month after the PS2 port was - July 14 for the PS2 version, compared to August 8 for the 360/PS3 one; also the ability to patch logos, unis, etc. onto those consoles after release compared to the PS2's online capabilities, such as they were.
