  1. I think the Patriot's "Flyin' Elvis" logo is VASTLY superior to their spiking Colonial soldier logo (though I don't think that is a very unpopular opinion)

    As a logo Elvis is better than Pat. However, the uniforms Elvis has been associated with...suck, while the uniform Pat is associated with is timeless and could easily be one of the best in the league, still.

    Sacrificing Flying Elvis for a return to the old uniforms would be an awesome trade for Patriots fans.

    The old uniforms are only timeless in the sense that they're generic, boring and forgettable. The current ones are far superior to them in every way.

  2. New York sports teams should look like sports teams, not clownshoes technicolor fever dreams. There's a place for those sorts of uniforms; that place is Salt Lake City or Jacksonville or Phoenix or whatever. The old/new Isles sweaters had New York's colors and a no-nonsense striping pattern. They won four Cups in a row with these. They play in the suburbs of the biggest city in the country. Why shouldn't they look like professionals?

    I agree with you if we're talking about the Yankees or Rangers, but the Isles, Mets, etc are like the little illegitimate brothers of those teams, they don't command, receive or deserve the same respect, and the orange and blue colour scheme never lends itself to an outright classy look no matter how hard you try. With those colours they'll never look truly "professional", so why not be aesthetically pleasing instead of boring? Too many horrid/boring brands are kept around simply because they're old, not because they're truly classic based on artistic merit (NY Giants anyone?)

  3. Count me in as another guy who never understood the hate for the Isle's Fisherman jersey. The logo is miles ahead of the original/what they have now, which is among the worst in all pro sports. Sure the lighter colours and waves might not have been all that timeless (which isn't really an issue, since jerseys are updated anyway every three or so years), but the logo was near perfect.

    Same goes for the Preds mustard jersey. I can see how the main crest might be a turnoff, being so colourful and busy, but the jersey design itself and colours work great. They should have simply put the skull logo that's on the shoulders as the main, and it would have been one of the best sets in the league.
