What’s even the point of having a team in Salt Lake if they don’t bring these back?

I'd like the Hurricanes' original jerseys a lot more if the arm striping matched the waist striping like their og Adidas jerseys did. That glittery silver stripe never should've left, though.

I was hoping for something like this, but with Nike everything’s gotta be predominately one color for unknown reasons.

The reason is, in all likelihood, that it costs less to manufacture.

The Milwaukee Admirals unveiled a warmup jersey that looks an awful lot like the Fanatics template Icethetics reported.

Would it be too derivative to do something like the Colorado Rapids and change the current denim blue to a sky blue? Would provide much better contrast at least.

 

 

I think the Avs would be better off doing the opposite and darkening their shade of blue, similar to the Nuggets. Would certainly solve their contrast problem. Here are some examples I hastily Photoshopped in 10 mins to illustrate.

Sasquatches are great, why did the Avs get rid of that awesome shoulder patch?

Because the mascot it was designed for assaulted a woman, and the Colorado flag represents the state much better than a hairy foot.

This actually ended up being a really good looking uni matchup

My vote for best uniform matchup of the season

What does this have to do with 2023-24 NHL jersey changes?

okay, i'm actually kinda digging the full uniforms

A lot has been said about the Islanders' recently-unveiled Stadium Series jerseys, most of it pretty negative. While I don't hate the jerseys, I do agree that they could've been stronger.

I attempted to fix them while retaining the same design features & philosophy as the actual design. I followed the Rangers’ motif of blowing up the arm stripes by splashing in a little color and adding a white stripe to mimic the Isles’ road jersey striping. Looks miles better than what the team actually unveiled, if you ask me.

What do you think?

Apparently the orange stripe on the jersey for the Islanders is supposed to invoke the load line on cargo ships.

It makes sense. I'm in the minority that likes it, and I think that's because I get fisherman slicker vibes from it. Would've looked better with some white trim, but it's not as bad as everybody's saying right now. It'll look better with the full uni.

at this rate they'll reinstate the skate next year and pivot back to the orca when people start clamoring for it in 2032, lmao

I can kinda see that they were going for an adidas tracksuit kind of look with the three stripes, which is a really fun idea imo! But it looks like the placement of the arm numbers and shoulder patches kept them from going all-in.

The Lightning never should have left this name/number font combo, naysayers be damned.

I bought the jersey just before 2023 ended, but it didn’t arrive until 2024, so I hope it fits here. $40 Depop score:

It's  so frustrating that the Liberty design still isn't a part of their main set.  Navy base/royal base... either would be an marked improvement over what was released.  That logo just isn't meant to be used as a front crest.

Agreed. This is all they had to do to make these jerseys a home run, or at least passable, imo

Now that NHLuniforms.com works again, I can really "appreciate" how 2002-03 was one of the ugliest seasons any league ever had. 

Strong disagree. Aside from a couple of awkward alternates, (NYI, VAN) Ottawa's toga jerseys, and Buffalo/LA's weird waist wordmarks I think 2002-23 was a fine season jersey-wise. The Edgification of the league a few years later was so much worse.

This thread’s gonna love this.

I mean... At least Vegas' number font looks cool.

the Hurricanes can't decide what they want to be, and I feel like the Canucks are in danger of being in a similar situation

You're right, the team whose jersey history looks like this:

Clearly has an identity just as muddled and confused as the team whose jersey history looks like this:

obvious /s

They may not be your cup of tea, but the 'CANES' script, warning flag logo, and even the mismatching helmets are all clearly a part of the same brand. Whether they wear the black or red jersey at home is irrelevant to your point, because they both clearly feel like Hurricanes jerseys. Their brand isn't confused, their hierarchy is.

I understand trying to connect the dots between the spaghetti skate and Whalers jerseys, but one is a full-fledged alternate and one gets worn for a single game. C'mon now.

I think the Hurricanes take the cake in that regard...

Different jerseys =/= Different identities.

I mean seriously dude, we get that you dislike the Hurricanes' mismatching helmets but come on. Aside from the Whalers jerseys they wear literally once a year, every jersey you showed is very obviously a part of the same brand.

Whats this?

Top looks like a promo design for a Hurricanes pride night. Bottom left is definitely a 2020 All-Star jersey. Bottom right looks kind of like a  color-pitched photo of a chainstitched Flyers logo.

Love how Seattle's came out. Vegas is all going to depend on the breezers, gloves, and socks. If they go all white it's going to look bad, but if they have grey or gold in there they can make a good look out of it

Grey breezers, grey helmet, calling it now. And it's gonna somehow be more forgettable than last year's Penguins WC jersey.

The Utah Jazz just leaked Seattle's Winter Classic jersey, and I think it looks pretty damn good.
