Well, it's official now, and along with a matching white at least

I dunno about that. They really seemed to like the orange jerseys. But then again, they'll probably wear anything that has a 97 on the back lol

Besides, you don't have to agree with me. I know my opinion isn't exactly a popular one, but I'm not gonna change my mind. People are just blinded by their nostalgia goggles when it comes to the Oilers. The Gretzky era jerseys sucked and brining them back without changing anything is a mistake. But my opinion doesn't matter since I'm not an Oilers fan and they will make a killing off of jersey sales anyway which is the idea behind the change, probably

When the first orange alternate was released in 2015, they gave one free for each person owning a season ticket, wich explains why there's so much orange jerseys in the stand. Yes of course, a lot of people bought an Adidas orange Jersey (A LOT with 97 on the back). If they decided to give a free Royal blue jersey to every season tickets holders this year, you'd see a lot more royal blue in the stands as well

Yawn

This is what they should be wearing, minus the orange cuffs. Keep the orange as an alternate and scrap the stealth jersey. Their current white jersey is one of the best they've ever worn

I don't care what anyone says, the royal blue jerseys are extremely dated and Gretzky left the team 40 years ago, it's time to move on. Leave dark royal blue and orange to the Islanders, they look much better than Edmonton in those colours

If it was up to me, they would be wearing navy and copper. If there's ONE team in the league that needs a drab and dark colour scheme, it's the team called the Oilers ffs.

Oh well, gotta sell some jerseys to suckers trying to relive their glory years, eh?

Between the royal blue and the stealth becoming primary home, i'd choose the Royal blue anytime. But yeah, these would've been perfect.

Here's what it'd look like compared to the navy blue. Classic look that would never have to change. *Sigh* maybe in 5-6 years they'll understand

Can't be a clearer hint than that

Don't know if it means something, but on Mascot day (today), the NHL posted this picture of every mascots, and Wild Wing is seen with the Ducks alternate jersey.

I would love to see the Ducks go back to Wild Wing as the main logo and the D on the shoulders.

They need to bring back their 25th anniversary jersey as their main unis, with a matching white.

i'm in a weird transitional state where i'm starting to recognize the black gear doesn't fit with the Adidas version of the Avs as much as the original, but also still not 100% on board with the blue. I'm seeking help and soon i will make it. 

It made more sense on the original since they had at least a black outline. And as soon as they add a blue line on the road jersey, the blue equipment will be way more appealing for the road uniforms that it is now

This graphic really gives us a great look at the difference between the Avs blue gear and black gear. Kind of odd to include both.

 

This shows exactly why switching to blue equipment was the right call for Colorado 

The only thing left for the Avs now is to add a blue line on their road jersey, to match the socks. After that their look will be nailed. The black pants/helmets/gloves are more appropriate with the Sakic/Forsberg/Roy/Foote era. It looked all right in the late 90's - mid 00's

The Ducks held a fan fest of sort and i gotta say, these black jersey could be a nice template for a potential new uniform

The Lightning could go one of two ways. All they need to do is change their blue from royal to a powdery sky blue....similar to the shade the Atlanta Thrashers' used for their dark jerseys.

 

Then once the shade of blue is taken care of, here are a couple of ideas that would make the Bolts stand out:

 

1. Go back to their classic '04 set. Those black jerseys with the white shoulder yokes stood out beautifully. Their whites with the black yokes were just as nice. The lighter powdery sky blue would pop and wouldn't get muddied with the black.

 

2. Though the Bolts looked amazing in black regardless of the Black For Black's Sake era, I felt they blew an opportunity to stand out...like the Sharks did in their original lighter teal. The Lightning could've gone with, as habsfan1 pointed out, black helmets and pants(with the bolt on the sides) and the lighter blue jerseys and socks. 

 

Last but not least, the Lightning need to go back to their original logo but without the "Tampa Bay" script and "Lightning" wordmark. The white bolt with the black drop shadow on the silver circle was perfect enough.

3 - Take their Reverse Retro from 2021 and make a matching white (with Blue shoulders instead of black)

While I'm all for this, this will be the second time they've done this now lol.

 

You know they'll eventually have to have a black third though, because black sells, and in that case I'd bring back the anniversary hybrid from a few years ago.

 

This would easily be one of the best look in the league

This tweet isn't all that clear. Maybe the orange alternates become the primaries, or maybe the reverse retros are going to be orange.

The big rumor for the next RR for the Ducks is apparently a white version of their wordmark jersey from the mid 2000s.

Ducks might finally get a much needed rebranding

Boston again? God forbid they go someplace new like Columbus, or Seattle

Seattle litteraly just started, give them a couple of time before getting an outdoor game. There are many other teams that deserve it more

I personally think it would be really funny if, in the WC match up between the two black-and-gold teams, neither actually wore black-and-gold: 

That'd actually be awesome, but i feel that the Bruins will wear their 80's black jersey

I don't mind navy blue and orange for the Oilers, but they should switch them however. Like their AHL club.

This would be the perfect Oilers jersey

Bold of them to assume the Habs, Coyotes and Sabres will be in the playoffs

It was on the 1979-80 jerseys.  It got thinner after that.

 

Yeah those didn't last long, for obvious reasons

Another endless talk about the Canucks...

The Avs should just take their original jersey and switch blue and burgundy

I honestly cannot wait to see the Islanders RR 2.0

Do they just poop out another jersey that is barely changed or do they finally give the people what they want? 

With Lou on board, don't get your hopes too high. They might as well just make a white version of their RR

According to Icethetics, the Sabres will have this as a throwback for next season !

Am i the only one that doesn't want the Flames to bring back the 03 set ? Sure they look really good (especially the red), but the Flames just changed their look to bring back their 80's look and to one of the best in the league. How about waiting a couple of years?
