    My all-time favourite New York Rangers jersey: Not even just the "NEW YORK" logo either, the gapped stripes - that actually match the white jersey, too - look so good on that jersey to me.

    To piggy-back on the Senators thing: These jerseys aren't good... but they have potential, I think. To me the set's biggest flaw is that it's still on the awful Edge template, so ditch the random blobs on the sleeves & armpits, give them traditional sleeve & hem-stripes, and I think they'd have a pretty solid look.

    That's good to see. Of all of the California AHL relocations I think San Diego was the only one I was fully, 100% on-board with. I'm glad to see it's going so well.

    So I was playing NBA 2K17, and when you choose to expand the league it gives you a picture of the '95 expansion draft: And the first thing I notice is that Grizzlies script logo above Stern's head; was that ever used anywhere else after that expansion draft? 'Cause I'd never seen it before!

    Then they'd be going full-circle, since for 10 years before the Saint John Flames came around, Calgary's minor-league affiliate was this old team.

    Asking fans which corporate buzzword they like best feels like a new low to me.

    That's okay; the Mariners' retro-coloured blue & yellow uniform? Absent entirely!

    (Not sure how unpopular this actually is, but I've never actually seen this opinion here before, so...) This should've been what the Indians replaced Chief Wahoo with, not the block-C they presently use:

    I really like the Seattle Mariners' 87-92 "M's" era uniform: I like the "S" cap logo with the yellow drop-shadow, I like the script and its blue-yellow-blue outline, I even like the single-coloured numbers - though I don't like that they looked ironed on.

    I've always felt that the away black Flying V was quite spectacular looking. It was always the home yellow one I thought looked awful: There's just something about the way the colours are distributed on it that I find a little revolting.

    I really love the St. Louis Blues' jerseys from '85 to '98, the so-called "red" era. Those jerseys, especially the numbers on the home, were damn amazing looking in my mind. The only problem I have with them is, I don't think they ever found a great balance for the red. Either they had too little of it... ...or way too much: Like, they could've either thickened the red stripes a bit on the former, or straightened & lowered the staff pattern on the latter, and I bet it would've looked a lot better. Still, I really miss that royal blue/yellow/red colour scheme. Makes me wish another team would run with it, especially since the Blues won't.

    This last season for the WHL's Calgary Hitmen, they had a pair of brothers, Taylor & Travis Sanheim. Travis wore "SANHEIM" on his back: ...While Taylor had "T. SANHEIM:

    My honest reaction to seeing it the first time was that something glitched and it was loading an older layout by accident.

    A bunch of other mistakes I found in NBA 2K16: The 2002-03 Mavericks have the modern, light blue away jersey; they didn't wear that until 2010. -The 1988-89 Pistons have "DETROIT" on their roads; near as I can tell they didn't do that at all until 2001, and the set the modern Pistons have from that era has "PISTONS" on both, meaning they put extra effort in to get it wrong: -Errors like this one really tick me off; on the right, you see the 1986-87 Lakers "Showtime" era road uniform, which is actually correct. On the left, you see the version the modern Lakers have to use. I really don't understand how they got that number font wrong, it's already in the game! Last one, probably the weirdest error too: the 1985-86 Chicago Bulls away jersey, featuring white numbers with a black outline, something the team hasn't used since 1973: Here's the kicker: it's only like that on the team-select screen. When you take them into an actual game... ...The jersey looks as it should.

    If it didn't I'd be very surprised. Heck, all of those old 2K games had huge jersey selections, it was great. I remember being so disappointed when 2K10 took almost all of them out for some inexplicable reason (they added a single set, the Whalers 93-97 jerseys, and kept about a dozen other sets, so there's that I guess).

    I remember when EA ported NHL '94 to the PS2 via NHL 06, the Whalers had to be rebranded as the "Hartford Canes": Apparently it was due to a trademark dispute, or so the story goes; it wasn't until NHL 11 that proper Whalers stuff started showing up in games again, save a single appearance of the navy away jersey in NHL 2001. Speaking of EA's NHL games, they had the wrong numbers on the Flames' white jersey for pretty much the whole PS2 era:

    I remember a couple from NHL '94, the Bruins wore their super-retro colours of brown and gold, and the Devils had a black jersey on the road (which I still think would make a decent alternate today): It just so happens that years ago I made a collage of all of that game's logos, some of which were pretty silly: I love Pittsburgh's lame looking pirate, and I still create the "Seattle S's" in other games sometimes. Like you said, Milwaukee (sorry, "Ilwaukee") essentially steals Montreal's logo with some slight changes, and in return Montreal seemed to rip off Milwaukee's BiG logo! Actually, I still really like that game, especially the stilted robotic commentary. "Ground ball to third. NO: He drops the ball! I can't, be-lieve it."

    To be honest, I really think the NHL is starting to lose me. I mean, the game as we know it at the highest level is hopelessly broken, a bloated, over-coached mess, and rather than try anything meaningful to reverse that, they just throw gimmicks around and just kinda hope hockey fixes itself (which of course it doesn't). Of course, that's before you get into teams being insisted upon cities that don't really care about them, and the fact that we're heading for a needless expansion AND probably heading for another lockout later because dammit the NHL just isn't making enough money. I just wonder if I'm the only one, 'cause sometimes it really feels like it...

    Funny that we were just talking about this. Karmanos is looking at relocating the Whalers to Chatham, ON. Not a bad move. I'm very surprised Chatham doesn't have an OHL team by now. Same with Brantford. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/jrhockey-buzzing-the-net/-hopefully--chatham---peter-karmanos-stirs-up-plymouth-whalers-relocation-rumours-034200053.html Chatham's one of my family's hometowns; I was born there, my dad's whole family grew up there, and a few of them still live there, so this is pretty cool from a personal standpoint. It is. The inside of the arena looks really strange as a result. There are barely any seats behind the benches, and the jumbotron is onthe wall: Don't forget, the Senators played their first 2 seasons there, so that's a former NHL arena as well.

    From what I can tell, nobody in Portland with money wants to own a team.

    I know this is the unpopular opinions thread, but sometimes opinions are wrong. Those straight nameplates lack any of the elegance or dignity of the arched nameplates. They also use a really clunky font. A simple "I disagree" would've sufficed, you know... Frankly I don't think I've ever been a fan of arched nameplates. You find them elegant and dignified, and more power to you, but honestly I've always found them pointless and unnecessary. Plus, I actually do really like that bold, serif'd font.
  23. mcj882000
    I think the Red Wings' preseason nameplates look way better than the arched ones they use normally.

    IMO the LA Kings have never had a bad identity. Sure they've had individual jerseys I hated, like the head-to-toe gold look from the 70's, the Burger King, and the purple alt from the mid-2000's, but in terms of primary jersey sets, to me they've always looked great.
