Busy but I like it.

How do I tell the Raiders that light gray numbers on white do not a readable uniform make?

First person that posts "at least the jersey ads are small/I can't even see them on ice" gets banned, right?

I like black to blue.

And the reason Dallas is rightfully at the bottom of the jersey rankings is because the only interesting part of their identity is the shade of the green.

The fact that crap like this is "front page news" is one of many reasons everyone who defended helmet ads can go suck a lemon.

They finally settled on mostly red/green with minimal (whatever that is; tan/wheat/gold) and I don't want a full-time third jersey to go backwards.

What makes you say that? One of my enduring criticisms of the current home jerseys is that the color balance is that red is relegated to a distant tertiary trim color instead of being a secondary color.  The Wild color hierarchy should be GREEN-RED-wheat, not GREEN-WHEAT-red. 

Add the blue stripe and they're there.

Apparently this is a relatively unpopular opinion, but the Caps' Screaming Eagle logo (and associated Capitol logo) are both terrible and have the bad kind of 90s stank on them.  Federal navy and gold? Yes I'm here for that. Everything else about that identity leave it in the past, locked in a drawer with the smelly underwear.

There was relatively little rioting in Robbinsdale and Brookyln Center, certainly not to the extent of Lake Street. As you said those suburbs have always been lower SES, but I don't think you can blame their current conditions on what happened last May, and I disagree with characterizing those areas as still "burned down." I don't think over-exaggerating is the answer to under-selling.

Outstate means someone from Greater Minnesota, ie not the Twin Cities or metro area.

In Minneapolis, there are still sections of neighborhoods that have most of their businesses either burned down or closed because of the looting. It’s more than a couple of blocks

Which neighborhoods/areas? I was on Lake Street and West Broadway doing clean-up last summer and I've been back recently and both areas have bounced back well. Are there still some burnt buildings or lots? Yes. But they are certainly not "burned down" and it is certainly not "more than a couple of blocks." Do you live outstate?

No complaints, beautiful logo.

This might have been a decent option for the Winter Classic. One thing I'll never understand about the previous Stars brand is why they always kept the A at the top of the star even when it wasn't part of the wordmark. How hard was it to extend the outline to connect it to the rest of the star?

It made sense when they were the North Stars. Looks sloppy as just the Stars.

Not a number. That's the logo of their sponsor, Three, an Irish telecom company.

Oh jeez, I guess I could've questioned why all the players were wearing 3, and why it's so large on the front.

I'm a crazy person but those Chelsea kits are so-bad-they're-good in my eyes. The DragonBall Z number font is awful though.

The previous Saints were the Brooklyn Dodgers' affiliate, playing the cross-town rival Minneapolis Millers who were the New York Giants' affiliate.

Touched up uniforms for the St. Paul Saints now that they're the AAA affiliate of the Twins:

Like the addition of yellow from the St. Paul flag, and having the period under the T in St. Paul. Wish they'd bring back this script though.

I'm glad our athletes will be protected from submarine attack during these troubled times.

That’s not the new team name. That’s just the name of the website.

Did not have Washington Journey on my bingo board, I'll admit.

Maybe the NHL should unretire #99 since it's the highest jersey number and just rubs in that Gretzky scored the highest number of points ever. So no one's feelings get hurt.

Purple and sky blue is such a beautiful and underutilized color scheme.

Houston looks fantastic top to bottom.

I think the shades of green on Seattle are too similar, but the number font is great.

Having the sublimated saltire of the Florida flag on the third is inspired.

Your flying skate is miles better than the real one, which is honestly one of the ugliest logos of all time.

Love the Blues look a lot. That would be their best look ever if it were used in real life. 

 

Regarding the Coyotes, could you try a dark teal instead of purple? That would probably go well with the red and sand. I think the simplified pattern looks great though.
