  1. I have to say, I appreciate how great 7/8 first round matchups look outside of the Leafs/JrLeafs series.
  2. This just feels like caving to their Twitter repliers that didn’t want the name change. The new helmet is nicer than what they had before the change. And maybe the antlers weren’t implemented well on the helmet. But why even develop a new identity with what is a pretty nice primary logo if you’re just gonna use the old identity on the helmet?
  3. Does the 2022 jersey not qualify as a fauxback in some respect? Also if the 2018 set isn’t too close to the current road I’m not sure we can argue the 2022 jersey is too close seeing as it has no yoke and has a different base colour.
  4. The Sabres look best when they keep it simple. This looks good.
  5. Well, Dad hats are the best hat and everyone can wear them. Fitted hats are a dicey style choice to wear even above the age of 20, and just unconscionable over the age of 30.
  6. Norwich re-design is about as good as you could hope for but of course there’s supporters in the Twitter replies be-moaning the removal of the black lines as a loss of character lol. I guess to their credit, Norwich has rarely altered their badge to the extent other clubs have.
  7. When are the Kings gonna give up their obsession with text-heavy logos and just use a crown as the main logo again? Their last ten years plus of uniforms has been gaffe after gaffe.
  8. I think the branding and colours are perfectly suitable for an AHL team, and the ideal place for the Canucks to scratch the Johnny Canuck itch. The White jersey should have green as the main trim colour though. Hopefully this board’s favourite pastime discussing the Canucks identity into oblivion can slow down to some degree, since an overdone internet concept finally made its way onto a professional jersey. Probably not though, lol.
  9. I think people like the royal and orange set because it’s a fundamentally sound hockey jersey with traditional stripes, good colours and shoulder yokes that add an extra dimension. But yeah, there is a lot of nostalgia involved which I don’t think should hold up as a reason to like them. Especially when their legacy has been stained by bad seasons in the mid 90s and a decade long playoff drought more recently. As an Oilers fan myself, I did grow tired of the 80s set from years of watching them play awful hockey in them. So my head says yes, wear them because they are objectively the nicest set we have worn. My heart doesn’t want to wear them anymore because I associate it with the bad years. We have worn other nice sets between the copper and blue and WHA sets and could potentially look good with a navy version of 80s template. So I’m not married to the 80s set, because we have some great alternatives. I would much rather wear them than this mailed in third jersey with the least inspiring design I have seen since the Edge jerseys. If we make a bland white jersey to match it for the away and ditch the current terrific away white, then this franchise deserves to keep getting swept in the first round.
  10. Yeah I still have no idea what colour the trim on the LFC home kit is supposed to be. Here’s another promo for it from standard chartered’s Twitter where the trim is much more red. That is definitely “bright crimson” and far from coral or orange.
  11. Monchrome purple vs sky blue with white shorts in Victoria and monochrome deep blue vs teal with white shorts in Halifax. The clash is a bit awkward since they have similar colour schemes but I think there will be enough contrast.
  12. Halifax should have probably made the sky blue shirt the home. But either they or Edmonton should change the home shorts colour so they don’t have the exact same colour sequence on the home set. My only real nitpick. Everything else is wonderful. Macron and the clubs did terrific work here. I’m really looking forward to how all the combinations will work. I’m assuming Calgary will always wear red against Edmonton, as the green wouldn’t clash enough as an away kit if Edmonton wears navy at home.
  13. The North Stars had a three year window where they looked decent from 1975-78, and every year outside of that their uniforms were poor or actively ugly.
  14. I think Monochrome in football looks a lot better than say, an ABB scheme where only the helmet is a different colour, e.g. your standard colour rush assortment. To add to that, I think white jersey/pants with a darker helmet is like the only way it can really work.
  15. Worth a try. The team would still have the same nickname, just spelled differently (Sens vs Cens).
  16. Not sure how unpopular this is. Ball in glove is a better logo but the barley M fits the Brewers identity better, even if it’s corporate inspired. I don’t know what they should do. The current navy and gold is their best colour scheme. I assume that’s not as popular an opinion. Turn the MB insignia into beer mug or something, I dunno.
  17. Puma’s logo is cool at least, much as I don’t support putting it all over the kit. Macron’s logo is particularly awkward and kind of obtrusive.
  18. Macron has been doing a decent job with their kits lately. The only thing I dislike about their designs is they always stick their weird logo on the sleeves.
  19. The Kings set is near perfect but the logo could use a white outline on the purple jersey. Great work otherwise, really like most of these concepts!
  20. I like the Ravens better in black pants. They definitely NEED striping and some sort of white stripe would be ideal. But I think black pants help convey the ‘darkness’ of their identity better, plus as a personal matter of taste I prefer a two colour maximum between helmet/jerseys/pants. White pants with the purple jerseys and black helmets just looks a bit messy. And the other purple team already wears white pants at home. In saying that, I think white pants with the Ravens road and alternate sets are fine, simply because they match better.
  21. If I could rank the badges so far: 1. Halifax Wanderers: colours are nice, unique shape, inclusion of bridge is awesome. A little too similar to the whitecaps. 2. Valour FC: very attractive badge, a little busy and a bit too dark. 3. Pacific FC: amazing colours, neat symbolism but a bit hard to figure out the tree and abstract Van Isle shape T-4. York 9 FC: interesting look. Not big on the futuristic colour scheme. T-4: FC Edmonton: an improvement on the original. Double blue is better than just having the Impacts colours. The ‘FCE’ icon is good but also annoyingly off-centre and the font for the club name and founding year is too plain. Should have been a full rabbit instead of just the tracks. T-6. Forge FC: nice colours, kind of a boring crest. Not super legibile if the club is meant to be mainly called Forge and not Hamilton. Easier to make out the H than the F. T-6. Cavalry FC: It’s conventional and proper looking but a bit too simple. My main gripe is that it seems like there might be a competing identity at play with all the monochromatic variations of the badge . Are they a green or red team? Every other club has laid out their colour scheme nicely on their own badge.
  22. One has to watch the video to understand all the elements behind the Pacific's badge. But it does kinda make sense once you realize it's a tree, and the waves make a v. It's just not obvious what they're going for which makes the final product kinda weird because it's just too subtle. For instance with Edmonton's badge, which has received probably the most criticism so far, you can at least make out right away that it says FCE. Pacific's colours are beautiful however. Best colour scheme in the league so far and I doubt any future entries will top it. Overall I'd say its been a mostly decent rollout of club identities. It's admittedly pretty hard to develop names and logos across a new league without straying too far to one side where every club is just "City FC" or has some ultra weird or cartoony nickname. Just look at the some of the founding or even current MLS members. The only "Euro-dressup" name is Wanderers and that's much less an obvious copy than using Real or United (makes sense with DC and Minny though) or even Sporting. Plus the name Wanderers has some history in Halifax. Most of these names have something to with the city or location.
  23. The new badge will have recognition once it’s in use for a couple years. The old one was pretty generic anyways. The new one has a more interesting usage of the team’s initials than just putting ‘FC’ on opposite sides of a shield. I definitely think it’s better than Cavalry’s badge. At a push, I think I’d put it ahead of York’s and it succeeds in being more simple than Valour’s attractive but very busy badge. I think a full rabbit silhouette would have gave the logo more character than the tracks though. That’s my only real gripe with it.
  24. This just looks like the Brewers put a minor league team in Ann Arbor.
  25. I think I’d like the aviator blue more if it was used as the main jersey colour, with little accents of red and navy here and there. The light blue feels tacked on in its limited use with the current ones, since there’s none in the logo. Lighter blue with navy pants/helmet is used by no one in the NHL, except STL who use Royal not light blue. I suppose the Jets considered that they didn’t want to look like the Thrashers, but’s it better then careening between looking pretty close to the Jackets or looking like the Rangers (retro look).
