That is an unpopular opinion! I like the pants striping, that's about it.

Their sweaters are fine. I know they're blue & white like the Maple Leafs, but I won't let that deny me from admitting that it's a clean, sleak look. I understand the Original 6 dress-up argument...somewhat, and I strongly understand the grand theft identity argument. But if the Leafs weren't around or had a different color palette, I don't think there would be as many complaints. I do think there should be a touch of black somewhere in their identity though, just for team tradition sake. But no black trim on the jersey stripes. That would look incredibly minor league-ish. How about the collar? Oh yeah, but then on top of ripping off the Leafs and Kings, they'll be ripping off the Canes now as well. Idk where you could add black and at the same time have it truly work well.

Here's one I'm sure few people will agree with... I love fauxbacks. The more vintage white, the merrier. I don't even care if it's a 2015 expansion team from a city who are just now getting into hockey.

Great stuff as always. Can't wait to see the KC Scouts redesign!!

The problem is that the white uniform was just an experiment used for only 3 years, until it they ditched it in favour of what they were previously wearing. It failed to catch on then, and I think it would fail to catch on today as well. And it wouldn't be possible for the team to lower it down on the hierarchy scale or to completely dismiss it, considering it was the mark of so many Stanley Cup winning teams. But even if we remove the historic purposes, that jersey would get tiresome very fast. The crest doesn't stand out as much on that darker blue background like it does on white, the red stripes lose a lot of vibrance against the blue, and from a distance the jersey is essentially white with blue blobs and a couple of little elements here and there which are given too little importance. Edit: When you said you hate the team, I was surprised when I saw your profile location.

I don't know exactly how unpopular this opinion really is, but the McFarlane jersey is my favorite Oilers look of all-time... I'm not saying the classic Oilers is bad. I just have a fondness for that particular uniform. It was a cool design, kind of how the Oilers would look if they were a 2000s expansion team.

front page, hockey, first phoenix one No I meant the one with the Reebok template, with the updated collar and such. That jersey, but with the RBK cut.

Anyone got the Arizona Coyotes retro jersey template from this year?

Can't hold a candle to the Winnipeg Jets.

You can keep him.

Scott Gomez returns to the Bell Center tonight. Regardless of how Canadiens fans respond when he touches the puck, I'm giving him an early Masterton nomination. He went from being the league's laughingstock, to becoming a rent-a-player for years, to going back to respectable form. This year, he has a good record, his best in the last 5 years or so. He may still have a few more years of hockey left.

He almost spent his entire NHL playing career with the New Jersey Devils. I thought that would be the case, but those 2 or 3 games with the Blues ruined that statistic.

I really dislike the reverse laces on teams like the Wild. It just looks ugly for some reason.

The game in Sunrise tonight nearly sold out. This is so amusing to watch!

I don't mind the Kings white pants, nor did I mind the Canucks and Flames wearing vintage white pants. Key words here are 'do not mind'. In context, they worked because the goal was to achieve a particular look. They worked extremely well for the Canucks and Flames because the uniforms were nothing more than a tribute to the old time style. For the Kings, however, I don't know who they're trying to pay tribute to.......

If the playoffs started today, Panthers would be in. How did that happen?

Can't tell if this is sarcasm or being serious.

I know their attendance wansn't always dead last, but they rarely ever even made it in the top 20. His statement is a little too wishful thinking to be taken seriously.

So who's monitoring their social media accounts? Jeez...really?? I'm glad there's a consequence for their cyber-bullying. But I don't know if going this far will help improve anything.

LOL WTF. That's a soccer goal!

Yea sorry but no freakin way. I agree, that would probably take the cake for THE most unpopular opinionIt's just that if the Bills had a red helmet with current unis, they'd be an upgrade over the navy set no doubt. Just to clarify where my unpopular opinion is coming from.

I'm probably the only one who feels like these.... ..are much better than these.... I just miss the Bills red helmet.

Many more people would like it more, if it was an actual gradient.

Isn't this exactly why the Panthers got lumped into the same division as the Habs? Yeah. Pretty much for marketing reasons. They know Habs and Leafs games put butts in the seats and more people watch. So even though the travel makes absolutely no sense, it's their way to make anything they can.

Bonus "home" game for the Canadiens on December 30, when they face the Panthers in Sunrise. The Habs faithfull who live there are incredibly lucky to have access to tickets to see our Habs, for the price of a hot-dog and a beer. Considering attendance is getting worse, it's very likely that the cheers are going to be even louder...
