  1. Because darker = tougher? That's the only explanation why they kept it.
  2. That's an interesting case. Where would they put the ads on the jersey that doesn't have a traditional crest? Obviously, it would look cluttered if it's just the normal placement, but would putting it at the shoulder area work? I'm only saying this because inevitably the Rangers will get an ad patch somewhere done the line. Really, we just don't know when.
  3. Would you be able to fit in the club's initials and the word Prepared inside the gas lamp shield crest?
  4. What in beef Bergeron did I just look at? What have you done to the Spoked-B? What did it do you to, man?
  5. For a jersey set that's meant to celebrate a century worth of their history, it's the mildest design I've seen. It's not the most offensive thing I ever seen (ad patch aside), but I think it could've been so much better. For example, why isn't the yoke from the home and away jersey shiny gold from their stripping? Without it, you would think it's a knock-off jersey made by someone straddling the copywrite line so the lawyers won't catch him for plagiarism. And while you're at it, do the same with the cuffs as well. Again, it's not a bad jersey. It missed the opportunity to pay a proper tribute to the Bruins history by being halfway between generic and unique.
  6. I mean, Rosemont is in the same county as Chicago (Cook County, for those of you wondering). And it's not that far either. So, therefore, not stupid. Just weird. Other than that little quip, your series of AHL concepts are visually pleasing to my eye, especially the heritage ones.
  7. That's just like what the actual Pens wore before their 2016 jersey redesign. You need to find a way to tie into the identities of KC's other teams, because it's virtually the same thing. Though it's understandable that this whole thread is just a "what-if" situation where the relocated team's identity only change where they're needed.
  8. Any hint for the last 5 clubs in this league before we move on to America.
  9. I'll take option B. The rose is far too good not to be used as the primary logo.
  10. That 10-year deal is going to fall apart quicker than what the NHL thinks. If this keeps up, they're done for. Still, if Fanatics defied all odds and actually make an effort to improve quality control, within those 10 years that hatedom will be gone. But until then, oh lord......
  11. I don't know what their jersey templates will look like, but y'know. Fanatics being Fanatics, their quality control absolutely needs a significant overhaul. To have the monumental task of manufacturing all 32 teams while being notorious for how terrible their quality is, to begin with, is immensely hard. To win those fans is even harder than that since we've already heard stories of misspelled player names and nameplates falling off. Fanatics has a year left to deal with this problem but I doubt they would take those criticisms from the fans seriously.
  12. I always think of Canada as a red-and-white team due to the flag design being just that. They could handle well without the need for tertiary colours like black. Therefore, having a black Canada jersey made me think that the design department needed to find a 3rd jersey that isn't red or white, so in a rush, they grabbed the black one as the first thing they picked up at a store. It might just be me, though. Your Canada set can live without either the grey or the black (though I leaned on the black more since at least grey has a good amount of historical precedence).
  13. So, you're tasked with creating a decent-looking Canada baseball jersey, and none of them have red as a primary colour. Instead, all you give them is a choice of clean white, typical grey, and last-minute-choice black. I know you want to separate countries that use red as their primary home, but I'm sorry. It's not really complete if there's no red jersey.
  14. Well, had the Thrashers been able to build up as much success as the Stars, the Knights, and the Bolts, then we wouldn't have thought of that in the first place because it proved the NHL was right about giving cities down the Mason-Dixon line a franchise to start a team. Speaking of Atlanta's 3rd attempt, I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up with reviving the Nords. And nobody should be if you know how Calgary and Winnipeg (on their 2nd attempt) got their teams.
  15. So, I've been wondering for the longest time about the CCM Quicklite template that every minor league team uses. Is it just a Reebok Edge template with a new collar, or is the jersey stitching from the Quicklite different from Edge and Adizero? Is there a difference between Edge, Adizero, and Quicklite at all aside from the collar designs? I'm just wondering.
  16. Tell that to Dallas and see if they would accept having another team call the Stars, because they're sure as hell won't. Also, they could keep the Wild name and go back to their old North Stars colour scheme if they want to, since these two identities are not mutually exclusive. Screw you, son. Vintage white jersey rocks just as well as regular white jersey. I'm a sucker for them.
  17. That 1994 logo looks way better than their current one, though in fairness the shield shape is too similar to that of Palermo FC. Also that 1983 logo simply reeks 80s design (mainly because the Eagle design came straight from the Lazio kits of the early 80s).
  18. Strangely good? In fact, reversing the black and blue to the main jersey and full-length yoke somehow made the jersey good, alongside removing red from added cleanliness (because the original jersey made red itself throwaway colour despite being part of Columbus' colour palette. Otherwise, I'll go for the double blue colour scheme that worked well with their branding, as evidence by their current fauxback.
  19. I can't even see the Senators text. For legibility sakes, white would be a better choice. Also, Ottawa missed an opportunity to bring back the Civics Nationals jersey from the WHA, and re-apply their colour scheme to boot.
  20. There's a little space between the collar laces and the logo itself. Why can't they put the ad on that space instead?
  21. Probably having their mindset stuck in the early 2000s era of jersey aesthetics.
  22. Well, outside of hockey, they pretty much a small market compared to other Southern cities. Quebec City has a diehard fanbase, and I think the same could be said for Hartford (mainly for the nostalgia factor). But when you compare both of them to places like Houston, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Miami, they all dwarf them in terms of marketability. Unless you can convince Bettman and his members to not expand teams down south, or at least give them a 1000 reasons why Quebec and Hartford should be brought back, the NHL would be on a lookout for another big market somewhere down the Mason-Dixon line.
  23. It wouldn't hurt to recolour the RBC logo to match the Habs colours. Not that it would change much.
