  1. The Cowboys are too white... They need either blue socks, which breaks the rules of monochrome, or at least a blue stripe on them.
  2. Can't get any screen shots, but NHL 2K5 leaves the "current" (2004) Font on any throwback uniforms. I.e. The Sharks currents at the time were the blue and silver shoulder fill ins, but when you did the original throw backs, you got the font on sweater. It was the same with the Kings. (Gretzky era throwbacks with current font, looked a lot like today's uniforms) Every NHL uniform was also pretty historically accurate, you could even be the Oakland Seals, who moved to CLE, merged with MIN, and moved to DAL. But you can't play as the Whalers. They don't even exist in the game. You can't play as the St. Louis Eagles, but you can buy the logo to put on a custom fantasy team, but not the Whalers. You can play as the huge hockey communities of France and Kazakstan, but not the Whalers. (Catching on?)
  3. Except that was used in one logo. on the pants and shoulders for three years. Now that black and blue alt was amazing! It definitely should have been there color scheme.
  4. For some reason that jersey almost fits him as perfectly as a Ducks one...
  5. Mothership says the Lakers switched to purple and gold in '66, Kings started play in '67. I heard that the owner of the Kings owned the Lakers too, so he made them match colors, and technically it was Fourm Blue & Gold! Get it right!
  6. Wow, Peter Karmanos sold this team and they got more dysfunctional, there's one you don't see every day.Alternate Reality: Players walk across Flint to some other rink and become the Flint Tropics, first sports team run completely by the players...
  7. Their throwbacks are are bad, because it's a crappy wordmark on a very plain jersey with way to many stars... Their current sweaters looks great from the front but the back looks like a practice jersey. It's got no stripes, no piping, nothing. Just names and numbers... They also have really ugly side panels and "tail stripes" (if that's what you want to call it) that blend in to the dark red of the home, and stand out way to much on the white...
  8. YES... The Caps logos are great, but their uniforms really suck...
  9. They were decent as alternates, but the whole faux-piping and lack of a tail stripe made it worse. And I still don't know why the Wild ditched their green jersey in 07'. Does anybody know the story or reason why?
  10. I know some Preds fans wouldn't mind that. From a marketing standpoint, though, I doubt the team would ever go to a single sweater for both home and away. Yep. Wear gold on the road in place of white, and wear navy at home. I know it diminishes the team's ownership of yellow/gold, but big picture? The Preds would still have a very unique set, and the yellow would still be a huge part of that. It would detract from Nashville's gold identity, but a some of the fans wouldn't mind it too much if they made navy the home color (assuming a strong presence of gold as a secondary on the home). Marketing it right would be crucial by the team, though. Some sort of "We're taking Gold on the road" campaign. Now that I've seen more of them, I'd rather wear the navy helmets at home and gold on the road. I strongly disagree that the set is a trainwreck, though. The previous set, now that was an unfocused 90's remnant nightmare. In my opinion, the Predators have only had one terrible jerseys, and the rest have been good, with an almost fantastic current set. I just wish there was a blue third, and the white piping and yellow/blue things by it disappeared.They've definitely had more than one terrible jersey. Their first edge-set road sweater was AWFUL. And so was the mustard yellow sweater... The mustard alt is the one i was referring to with the terrible. the edge set was bad, yes, nit not awful. also not as bad at the leafs post edge set, or the pens, or the sens, or tampa, or a couple others.Definitely agree with the pens/sens/bolts being worse than Nashville, but not Toronto.

  12. That's because it's been around for a long time. While it doesn't really make sense, it sounds better. I bet it would be the same thing if the Canadiens moved to Cleveland (like they were going to a long time ago,) and kept the same name. The Cleveland Canadiens wouldn't make sense, but if they had been there for 50+ years, that would sound right, just not make any sense.
  13. Thank you. Looks like a children's rec league game. Most color on color matchups throwback to the beginning of most leagues, where most teams had one jersey. And I don't think a Toronto vs. Boston, or any of the NFC north teams would look like a child's rec league. They would actually look professional.
  14. My favorite Teams are The Wild, Gophers, Vikings, Twins and Timberwolves (I mean I could care less about the T-wolves, but... I root for all these teams because I'm from Minnesota. I mean If I was born in Atlanta, I would root for the Falcons and the Braves, and the hawks. The thing that drives my the most nuts tho is people who have lame excuses for being a fan.
  15. That's actually the first Major team Forsberg played for. Modo Hockey of the SHL. So it's the right uniform.When you think Peter Forsberg, do you think MODO?I still do a double take when I see him in an Avalance uniform. It just feels so wrong. I mean to me, he's always going to be part of the Avs, but to anyone who knew him then, it would be right. It's like saying someone's high school jersey is wrong. It may look odd, but it's not the wrong uniform. To the Athlete that's their right uniform to. McDavid in an Erie Otters uniform looks just as right as an Oilers jersey.

  17. The bottom three haven't been worn for several years. My unpopular opinion is that CFL identities really aren't that bad. Aside from Montréal, all teams have good logos and workable colour schemes (however poor their execution may be). You've got two terrific looks (TOR, HAM), two-and-a-half good looks (BC, WPG, and EDM's home), an okay look (MTL), two bad looks (SSK, OTT), and two downright horrendous looks (CGY, EDM's road). The NHL has a similar ratio. See, that's why I said "I don't know how unpopular this is..." I was thinking there were a fair amount of people who like Hamilton and Toronto's uniforms. Toronto would be perfect if they went with the signature series helmet full time, or added a light blue stripe to the current helmet.hamilton is still fantastic though I don't know if these are hated or not, but I love the Toronto Signature Series uniforms. I like how they have a logo on the front. I just wish that they'd ditched the front shoulder numbers.
  18. I feel like those uniforms wouldn't be half bad if they didn't have the word Browns on the side of the pants. Or if they weren't paired with orange socks.
  19. I don't think that's the wrong uniforms for Gretzky. Those kings unis were called the Gretzky era uniforms. Now Gretzky in a blues uniform, THATwas wrong.
  20. Well all the looks after looked cluttered or way to bare... The orignial reebok edge was a MESS of black, teel, orange, and front numbers just slapped on, then the current look is stripped down to basically nothing. Except the front numbers.
  21. But old time hockey.BUT for a team like Carolina???
  22. I totally agree about the Habs road. As much as I respect tradition, it doesn't fit... And the Hurricanes used to have that hurricane feel, but now they look bland and unoriginal...
