  1. I think the jersey just needs to be simplified. The green shoulders disappear on tv anyway, time to scrap those. Everyone complained about Carolina's original jerseys being too much, the Kachina Coyote is far more busy. Keep the Kachina, simplify the elements around it.
  2. I've never heard the flag thing, but they did use these for their first few seasons. I was told it was a little soccer-centric nod to the very popular soccer teams of the area. Even wearing it, you'd probably never notice the stripes unless you're in very bright light.
  3. I've posted on this before, and the links that had evidence have all since gone dead, but the Penguins' logo was often rotated incorrectly because people thought the penguin was running instead of skating. You can find the occasional really old Pens jersey with this rotation, because stores were merely sold the rights to make the jersey and the crests to put on them For the image to come from the league is embarrassing, obviously they hired an American who wasn't all that familiar with what skating looks like.
  4. I'm glad I'm getting a bit of a reputation around here lol. Look, they're important! Me too. I'm actually not a big fan of monochrome white, with rare exceptions I think it looks odd (I have to say the Colts are probably the biggest exception). So I'll join you on that one.
  5. Based on the arrangement of that first photo of them, they might rearrange them. Maybe it's difficult to do a dramatic raising ceremony from anywhere but the centered position.
  6. Penguins have changed their banners AGAIN. I was against it last time, but at least they looked good. Can't say that this time. Previous change: Originals:
  7. Holy crap 1) how have this many huge finds happened in just a few days? Why this sudden concept bonanza? 2) How was the flushing toilet bowl of a logo that the Thrashers used THE BEST idea they had?! Those are all TERRIBLE.
  8. and for whatever reason, this was posted in the Blues' jersey thread, so I'm moving it where it belongs Note the lack of gold in the white jersey. They're just discarded Leafs sweaters with a new logo
  9. I posted this in the thread about the unused Blues uniform, but I wanted to put it here, where it belongs. I'm shocked that it still exists and more shocked at the timing of it, considering that thread was just created. http://www.stlouisgametime.com/2016/3/25/11306036/the-first-blues-jersey-is-found
  10. There also seems to be some issues with past quoted posts. I hope some of the imagery of the board returns, banners and whatnot, but it seems alright.
  11. When the Penguins first unveiled their new logo, it was separate from when they unveiled the new jerseys. There were some instances of the new logo on old jerseys. Somewhere I have a Penguins Kids Club hat from that year where Iceburgh (the Pens' mascot) is wearing this jersey. It's a bit weird to see, knowing that this look never happened.
  12. I actually know exactly what the deal is with that tilted Penguins logo. It was explained to me at one point and then I saw a purchased jersey from that era that fully corroborated the story. Way back, before jerseys were common products, department stores like Sears or Hornes were given contracts to make jerseys, rather than just sell them. They'd be given patterns and the jerseys would be made in that stores' distribution system, sometimes the crests would be made elsewhere and added (which is why you can still find the old 8" Penguins crest loose if you look around). In those early days in areas where hockey wasn't well known, it was a very common mistake to put the penguin sideways, as though the penguin were running because it never occurred to them what skating looks like. If you see a Pittsburgh jersey from the late 60s, it's not uncommon to find a crooked logo on it. United clearly had little experience watching hockey and thought the same thing. I'll have to try find a photo, it was so cool seeing that story come to life
  13. If I recall this jersey was proposed for the North Stars because they played in the Norris Division which at the time was dubbed the Black and Blue division due to the fact that all the teams in that division played tough hard hitting hockey. The designer came up with a black jersey to reflect that and a corresponding white. The plan was to actually have it be an alternate uniform set to the classic green/gold set. But when they found out they couldn't use it without making it a full time home/away set, it was dropped. The secondary logo on the arm was the inspiration for their uniform change 3 years later. Looking at those stripes that go from the shoulders down to the gloves, I wonder if the Wild's original jerseys were inspired by these prototypes. And the color of the stripe is the same color as the jersey (as opposed to the stripe being opposite color a la Winnipeg)? You might be on to something.
  14. From Uni Watch Blog today User Actions Follow Vintage MN Hockey‏@VintageMNHockey This photo surfaced @UniWatch from a @9modano & Smith signing in 1989 (Never seen ☆ prototype jersey in background)? I know I've never seen these jerseys before, has anyone else? There's some snazzy elements to them, but probably an overall mess. Thoughts?
  15. I just realized that the logo has no words on it, which is not what they went with in 2007. Strangely, now I can't take my eyes off of it...I like it. I actually like this logo.
