  1. Yeah, Vegas always had a great colour combination and beautiful jerseys - but I do miss the dark grey at home. That one is still one of my favourite jerseys of the modern era - everything about it just clicked. The gold is nice too, but would have preferred it stayed an alternate - but that's what they're wearing in their Stanley Cup team photo, so I don't expect that one to lose it's top spot anytime soon.
  2. I'm actually really digging the Capitals outdoor jersey - as long as it's just a one-off. Nice, big, bold - Weagle gets its time to shine, it's perfect for an outdoor game and a cool collector's item for fans and something neat to add to Washington's jersey history.
  3. Merry Christmas! I pulled a higher resolution version of the Senators' 30th anniversary logo in bloack - haven't really seen this one get used much, so sticking it here for posterity in case it never shows up again before the season's over (which, if you're a Senators fan like me... is already over! lol!)
  4. NHL's Ottawa Senators 30th anniversary logo:
  5. Corporate needs you to find the difference between this jersey (regular home) and this jersey (Reverse Retro). I love my Senators, but my goodness guys, would it have killed you to design something that would have maybe stood out a bit more?
  6. True, which is kind of why I was hoping Ottawa's Reverse Retro would bring the pre-launch Peace Tower jersey back with some modern touches. It would have made for a way better RR than the one they actually went with, and would double as a cool nod to the team's roots in its 30th anniversary. Side note, I still can't get over how bad the Sens' RR is. It's mind boggling to me that they looked at that design and thought that it was cool or different enough in any way that fans would shell out close to $300 for one. The worst part is how close it is to being something really cool... I've seen fan mockups with some white added to it (y'know, one of their other official team colours that they keep forgetting they have), and it makes all the difference in the world and magically becomes one of their nicest jerseys ever. But as it stands now, it's a bland, uninspired failure that looks like it was generated by an AI.
  7. I've been keeping an eye on the Senators to see if they would ever do anything with their 30th anniversary logo we only ever got the odd glimpse of (I also keep an eye on the Senators because they are my team). So far for this 30th logo, there's been no patches on the jersey, nothing in the arena, nothing on merchandise... but all of a sudden on a post advertising Alfredsson's hall of fame induction, they stuck a black version on the footer of the poster (when previously we only ever saw the white version on a black background) Is this earth-shattering logo news? No. No it isn't. But I like the logo and wanted to see more, so here it is in black. Hopefully we see more of it and get a nice high-res version as well...
  8. Y'know, I was skeptical of the program at first, but I'm actually going to miss this Reverse Retro stuff when it's done (assuming this is the last round of it). It's been fun to see the fan designs and guess how teams would look back on the history with a twist, and since all the clubs take part, fans everywhere - no matter your team - can get excited. Sure, it's a money grab, but unlike the ads on the boards and jerseys, this one is actually, legitimately, just fun.
  9. Yeah, that's sort of my issue with it too - and my issue with Ottawa's last RR (although comparing the two, I prefer their first RR to this one). Playing it safe is one thing if you're doing a full rebrand, or coming up with an alternate you're going to wear 12 times a year for 3 to 5 years... but the allure of the Reverse Retros, for me, is that it's an excuse to throw caution to the wind and do weird and risky stuff you wouldn't normally do. The teams are only going to wear this, what, three times in a season? All they needed to do to here was just swap out the main logo for the old pre-launch Peace Tower script, and at least then you'd have a cool conversation piece and a wink-and-a-nod to the team's history, instead of just... the home jerseys with red sleeves. EDIT: Like this? I'm not in love with the peace tower logo, but at least this is something different...
  10. According to @AliMurji - his source suggest this is what the Senators Reverse Retro will be. If so... that's a shame. So boring. I thought their last RR in red was ok but lacked any sense of fun or originality. This one even more so. Not a bad design on its own, just a missed opportunity to maybe use the peace tower script as part of their 30th season... this just feels like their regular home jersey with red sleeves. Woopity doo.
  11. As someone who has lived in Atlantic Canada their whole life, I think folks might overestimate the allure of the Quebec Nordiques here. Fans here have almost universally been split 3-ways between Toronto/Montreal/Boston. If Quebec City ever got a team, I can't imagine it would make a big splash in Atlantic Canada. We would, by and large, think "we'll that's interesting" but then go back to cheering for the Leafs, Habs or Bruins. Even when the Nordiques were around, they had as much presence in the Maritimes as, say, the Senators do now. Which is to say not zero, but also not enough to really register anything on a scale.
  12. Here's one for my fellow Senators fans if they missed it, but the team shop has a new logo that incorporates the logo into the O... or, wait, was it the logo that incorporated the O first? Anyway, it's kinda neat and a step up from their previous logo, which was no logo at all.
  13. I thought about that too, but maybe they did so that other people would know that it's a clock tower? 30 years ago when Ottawa was launching a team, maybe that level of detail wasn't necessary - but perhaps now they are thinking of outside audiences (especially in the U.S.) looking at it and not realizing what the Peace Tower is. Changing gears a bit - and maybe this has been covered before - but is it just me or do the leaked shirts seem to suggest that the Arizona Coyotes are going back to the brick red and sand colours (at least that's what my eyes see in the lettering) for the RR? I've always liked that colour scheme and thought the Kachina coyote would look good in those colours - does anyone else think that's what's going to happen here? Maybe they are taking their old black alternate with the running coyote and putting the space coyote head on there instead in those old colours? Would look nice!
  14. Better look at the Senators 30th anniversary logo - instead of a blurry phone photo of a screen. Looks good! I'm really digging it. Hope it actually makes it on the jerseys... I assume there will be a black variant of the logo just like the old peace tower script had a white version for the black jersey, and a black version for the white jersey. EDIT: Hmm, anyone notice the clock hands? Do they mean anything? The original doesn't have that detail (it's just a solid block), but had they moved the hour and minute hand, they could have made the clock read 20:22 in military time. Wasted opportunity!
  15. Love it! I'm a lifelong Sens fan and was waiting with excitement to see what they'd do, and it's great. Nice, clean, crisp - a subtle nod to the early days and the campaign to get the team back. Also hoping it teases the old Parliament logo coming back on the Reverse Retro - it seems like such an obvious idea for the RR, it's the perfect place for it to finally see some ice time after all these years.
