Don't get me wrong, diamonds are nice and all, but how about some colour? The Cardinals' rings last year were beautiful, largely because of how great the red stones looked and how much they "popped".

Big-time downgrade.

Gagne in any Kings uniform looks wrong. He will always be a Flyer.

^And the previous Nords stuff just screams 70s. Was it amazing? Naw, but sure a helluva lot better than the stuff they wore before. I actually quite like it. Plus, 90s doesn't necessarily mean bad. The Mighty Ducks set was very 90s, and I was a big fan of that Capitals set.

Do you mean the Reebok logo on the lower part of the sleeve? Because A.) It's blue B.) All replicas come with the Reebok logo stitched on there, and the fact that it uses the old logo could simply mean that it's from a few years ago. Not exactly sure how that's a "dead giveaway", but sure. It looks black to me..... but it could be navy. It's royal blue.

I think the entire Nordiques set was "OK" at best. I think nostalgia for Québec hockey is the only reason people love them so much. Personally, I think the planned update was ten times better:

The only reason they returned to their 80s look is because they knew the fans were begging for it. If the navy/copper was really loved more by fans, they would've simply reverted back to their pre-Edge set.

Kids these days with their fancy terminology.

I hope nobody pays $300 for this piece of junk.

I agree with you on the first count, but not the second. As it stands, that was a very good road look. But I hated the bowtie script, and if they used the current "San Diego" script, instead, it would have been great.

I agree that it's a superior logo, but the raven head looks better on a helmet. Also: This > This

Similarly... The "C", crest, Reebok logo, number, and NoB all look like they were put on during a drunk "pin the tail on the donkey" office party.

While I don't feel quite as strongly, I agree that it's a very overrated jersey. I've never understood all the love for it, especially when it gets called the best look in team history. As an aside, I just realized now how bad it looks paired with the half-red gloves.

New: Old: MASSIVE downgrade.

A team would probably hang a conference championship banner if they are a relatively newer franchise or don't win a lot of Cups. If you're a team like MTL then I guess you can't find room for extra Conference Champs banners. I have no problem with hanging banners for Conference Championships. If you're a newer team and that's all you have, you should celebrate it. However, if you won the Cup that same year, hanging a Conference Champs banner is just dumb. It makes it look like you're hanging a banner just to fill some space in the rafters.

Tampa Bay isn't the only team to have the Stanley Cup featured prominently on their banners: Also, here's a link to LA's banner. Not terrible, but nothing special either. I haven't been to the ACC yet, but how visible are the Leafs logos on the banner? It always bugged me and I was wondering if it's just a crappy camera. They're actually easily visible, even for the Arenas/St. Pats logos. Side note, but while I don't mind celebrating Conference Championships, it seems pretty unnecessary to hang banners for them in years you won the Cup.

Since when is this unpopular? I mean with the exception of the top one, your opinions all seem to be in line with the popular view (for once!).

That's okay, you can buy a knockoff for half the price! If you get a speeding ticket with one of those, do they cancel each other out?

There are few opinions less popular than that one.

They directly copied two of the most iconic looks in hockey and threw away a perfectly good modern identity (identity, not set) to do so. ---------- Unpopular opinion: I never really liked the Padres' sand roads. I didn't hate them, and I liked the uniqueness, but other than that, they're nothing special.

Not really.

This is beyond hideous: Every single one of those hats should be burned from existence. If this becomes their rumoured new alt cap next year, it will be the worst cap in the majors - and it's no contest.

Whoops, made a mistake there. I was of course referring to IP theft.
