Homer bias obviously, but I have always thought that Flyers orange vs Penguins in white is an underrated aesthetic matchup. Good example of how two colors on the same side of the wheel can work together.

Scrolled back a few pages and didn't see anything on this. Anyone else having issues with tweets showing up in a separate window (within the post) without images loading? If I try to click on the tweet URL the whole tweet just crashes within the window and displays an error message. Also seems like a lot of images in general just don't load for me anymore. Using Microsoft Edge and wondering if that might be part of the problem.

EDIT: Seems like the browser is blocking cookies from twitter. Even when I set it to allow them and refresh, it switches back to blocking them when I try to click the link.

I know I'm in the minority but I love the Pens gold alt. I love the color balance, the way numbers look on the shoulders (ditto Florida), and that it has a normal collar. That being said, I'd be shocked if there was any talk of their replacing the primary. Even people in Pittsburgh don't seem to care for them very much. From a marketing standpoint, I'd guess that they're deciding to feature them this postseason as a ploy to clear out inventory before eventually introducing a new alternate, maybe something stemming from the rumored Stadium Series with Carolina next year.

I still contend that 2 is the worst-looking number for a quarterback to wear, and it looks really bad on a guy that looks/plays like Wentz. 

It's the "Tim Couch Number" to me. A harbinger of poor QB play to come.

Kevin Stevens had multiple 100 point seasons and was a beloved part of the Pens Stanley Cup teams in the early 90s, and even played a few years in the robopenguin/gin n juice jerseys before being traded. Most people don't remember his late-career "vegas gold" stint with the team.

The Y'alls reminds me of the Yinzers. 

Agreed. I hated those. Looked like something you'd see hanging up in a Strip District storefront window, faded by the sun, with a hot pink $5 price tag attached to it. These are much better.

Aw, I was really proud of that one. I get it, though.

Anyway, this uniform sold me on a name I initially wasn't very high on. Overall, minor league teams have become a bit twee for my liking (I know they have to sell tickets and merchandise, and the Poughkeepsie Jedi Knights probably fares better than the Junior Yankees or whatever), but when a look comes together so nicely, I just have to shut up and enjoy it.

MOD EDIT: No politics.
