  1. Morgan, we disagreed constantly over the years but this time, I fully agree with you 1000%.
  2. I'm damned. Very sorry but that was a HORRIBLE font.
  3. 110% agree. What I truly hated was the high-schoolish black monochrome look with no striping on the helmets. The '78-'89 set was the Lions' best-ever uniform; What the Lions should be using today going forward:
  4. The Kings only ripped off the Raiders. Their first NHL season was the NBA Lakers' first season in purple(Forum blue) and yellow-gold after years of wearing double blue and white.
  5. If the Kings keep the black and silver full-time, they should just use the classic jeweled crown on its own on the same current 3rd and matching black. Use the Chevy shield as the official team logo but the jeweled crown as the sweater crest. Use purple and yellow-gold as a 3rd.
  6. I hope the Lions go with a true pro look. No more monochrome black unis; bring back helmet striping with matching striping on the pants; much prefer orange as the primary dark colour.
  7. Based on the success of their 2 Reverse Retro uniforms, it would make the most sense to go back to the purple(Forum Blue) and yellow-gold with white as the light base. The classic jeweled crown by itself and updated would make the most sense, no matter what colour scheme.
  8. I love the Predators home yellow-gold uniforms. Much unlike that nauseating Dijon mustard they wore in the mid 2000's. Yellow and yellow-gold(Athletic gold) should be used as a light base like white. I agree, I was ever was a fan of yellow vs white in any sport...hockey, basketball, soccer. However, with the right colour scheme including a complementary dark colour like black, navy blue, forest green, burgundy and purple, yellow as a light primary can look amazing. Loved the Canucks-Flames uniform matchups at the Pacific Coliseum during the 80's. Like the Bulls-Lakers matchups in LA. Even black vs yellow looks awesome.
  9. It was actually the second season of the Canucks' home white Skate uniform. There was nothing wrong with yellow-gold as the home uniform. Added variety to light-coloured uniforms and created colour vs colour. The problems were the V yokes, the thick striping, how the Skate logo itself was screwed up by having a yellow background behind the yellow CANUCKS wordmark and by missing one of the white streaking lines and most of all, the constant losing. The updated Skate with the vibrant yellow and red and with more black and no white would look gorgeous on the new shade of yellow.
  10. Actually, the Orca Bay navy blue was indeed a dark navy/midnight blue....like the Seattle Kraken and Chicago Bears. The navy Johnny Canuck Reverse Retro was a vibrant navy like the 2000's Edmonton Oilers and the Dallas Cowboys. I have both a #19 Naslund Orca jersey and two JC RR jerseys. The difference is definitely there regardless of the overall colour schemes.
  11. Good gawd, no. In fact, the Orca Bay uniforms were a dark navy blue, like the Seattle Kraken's. Remember those beautiful Johnny Canuck Reverse Retros from last season? That was a pure and vibrant navy blue. Like the Dallas Cowboys' shade. That's the navy blue I was referring to.
  12. Disagree on all counts except for keeping the blue and green. Nothing wrong with having a secondary colour scheme for a 3rd. The reality is, is that the Canucks are a 2-colour scheme franchise, like it or not. As for the font, the Canucks always have used the legible and timeless Athletic block font since their pre-NHL days in the Pacific Coast/Western League days prior to the Reebok rebrand in '07. The Agency font is cheap and weak and has no place on a professional sports uniform.
  13. I have a feeling the bland Agency font(hopefully) is on the way out on all the Canucks' jerseys. Block font is the way to go like it's always been since their Pacific Coast/Western Hockey League days. Their home and away font can use a green outline too.
  14. As a Vancouver WHITECAPS supporter, I am so bored to death of MLS's lethargic globalist branding. North America has multiple major sports leagues. It feels like MLS wants to cater to international Football supporters and to hell with North American Soccer supporters. North American Soccer was so much fun when the NASL was in its heyday...Vancouver Whitecaps, Seattle Sounders, Portland Timbers, NY Cosmos, LA Aztecs, Toronto Blizzard, Minnesota Kicks, Tampa Bay Rowdies, Edmonton Drillers, Montreal Manic, Fort Lauderdale Strikers, Chicago Sting, etc, etc.
  15. At least it's just the wordmark. If only a team like the Canucks had just TD in white instead of having the entire lime green TD logo.
  16. Just a hunch I have but I think in '24-'25, when the NHL switches from Adidas to Fanatics, we will see new "retro" Bruins uniform based on this season's centennial anniversary set. The centennial anniversary set looks like the yellow-gold/Athletic gold will be replaced with metallic gold and then the metallic gold will be replaced with the yellow-gold after this upcoming season.
  17. Totally agree. In fact many teams need to go back to two sideways logos and that includes the Canadiens. However, I always liked the single but smaller centre ice logos of the Flames(Stampede Corral & early Saddledome years) and the Bruins(Boston Garden era).
  18. What makes "Wild" a great name in your book? The Avalanche can be the "Avs" and the Lightning can be the "Bolts". The "Wild", despite its very creative crest, doesn't work, sorry. A big mistake not to go with "Northern Lights" with the use of green and yellow-gold.
  19. I will never ever approve of the "Wild" name but bringing back the iconic North Stars colours and sweater template will make the "Wild" name less dislikeable to those who feel the same way I do. The "State Of Hockey" secondary logo is a very nice touch. The "Wild" logo looks very natural in the North Stars colours. Should kelly green and yellow-gold return full-time, I hope Minnesota uses green font on the whites instead of yellow.
  20. I fully agree. In fact, that's the very look the Capitals should've gone with back in '95.
  21. Jay Onrait from TSN nails it 110% at 5:25:
  22. The Wild name needs to go, even at the expense of one of the most creative logos in sports. Going with a far more suitable major pro sports name, if not the North Stars v.2, while using some form of green and yellow/gold(without black) should be the order of the day in Minny. I still love the "Northern Lights" with the updated N. Losing a beloved name and brand is one thing. Replacing it with a horrible name and with colours fighting for primary status is an insult to injury, no matter how creative the primary logo is.
  23. Was at the game last night. At first, I didn't like the removal of one of the lines but it actually works with the alternating red & yellow lines..cleaner and has continuity with the Skate boot. The recoloured '70-'72 stripes look awesome. The cheap and weak Agency font must go, just like the corporate Orca. Bring back the classic and nicer-looking Athletic block font. Black V's on those '70-'72 sleeve stripes instead of engraved V lines would look so much better...just like the white sleeve V's on the original Stick in Rink jerseys. Colour on the collar plus pants stripes would look amazing And for the cherry on top of the sundae, a recoloured Johnny Canuck on the shoulders. Overall, great work.⛸
