  1. I rather they call themselves the Unicorns and utilised that identity. Besides, if you look at a certain, a unicorn charging at you with its horns at full force is pretty horrifying.
  2. And it took a decade for the Sharks to realize that removing the hem stripe and shoulder yoke to make the jersey """lighter""" is the most braindead logic in the entire galaxy.
  3. Hey, look on the bright side. It's better than what Fiorentina currently have right now, and I'm speaking this as someone who liked the redesign but would prefer to have the previous one back if possible.
  4. Well, the Bolts won two Stanley Cups while cosplaying as the Leafs. And 1 more than in their inaugural uniforms with their victory stripes. That's a hard pass by me. A crappy uniform associated with cup wins is still a crappy uniform (e.g. the Caps' 2018 Stanley Cup Win with their Reebok-turned-Adidas jersey set). The cup-winning uniforms that everyone sees just happened to be good, and that's why people start associating with them.
  5. I bet the Whalers are going to be next if it it's going to become a series.
  6. I don't know much about the popularity of CCM outside of hockey, but with Nike it seems more likely. I also wonder if the NHL is not as popular as the other leagues within the Big 4 sports of America, and going with Nike would boost its recognition by a mile.
  7. Well, Nike's latest outing at that the uniforms in this year's IIHF World Cup of Hockey proves me that they wouldn't screw up so bad (with exception with the USA and Canada jerseys, whose set is more geared to towards being trendy and unique). But even then, when they design jerseys, it's always trend over tradition. And a lot of hockey fans don't want them. Meanwhile, how much are you willing to be that CCM would offer a lot of money to the NHL and say they want to be the ones to supply all jerseys to all teams? And also, what's with the hate with Fanatics? Anyway, I spoken too much.
  8. And besides, this black-red striping pattern is made iconic for the fact they won 3 titles in the very late 60s, including the European Cup Winners Cup. Malcolm Allison chose the kit design as an inspiration from AC Milan's success from achieving a double from both their own league and said ECWC. It's been introduced for no less than 60 years, but it remains an iconic design choice and several occasions, with the last time when City did have the red-black striped shirt as a clash kit is back in 2011.
  9. I can't imagine the Avs donning this bat- :censored: crazy jersey and turned it into their main set, even if they replaced the triangles inside the A-mountain with the C from the Colorado state flag. When the best jersey ever in your entire franchise is the SS jersey people lambasted it for being such a coherent mess, you've got a problem you need to fix. But hey, ever since blue pants have replaced black pants from a year ago, it's a step in the right direction. All they need is to take all the black and silver out (as some people suggested), and I'll complain less.
  10. I rather they turn up in long robes and a cap instead, and every time they scored a goal they should stop and pray 5 times before resuming again. One of the biggest advantages of monochrome sponsor logos is the ability to recolour them to fit in the aesthetics of the jersey.
  11. I personally prefer the 2000s logo with the shield and stripe combo on it. It's a favourite childhood logo of him, in the days where I saw it in one of those modified, pirated, and patched-up PES discs back in my childhood days. No need for the roundel, really.
  12. Also the one to hate as well for obvious reasons.
  13. It does miss one thing though: the team name itself. Other than that, I like how it cleans up the look while maintaining what made the previous logo works. I would disagree on that. Having too many details in the logo turns it into a cluttered mess. I get why taking away details would make the design overall flat (or 'soulless', as you put it), but I can tell you the reason why some people favour simplicity over over-detailing; it's easy on the eyes without getting too overbearing. Though, I'm sure there are people who do agree that the new logo didn't have the same spirit as previous one. And before you said anything about Blackhawks and Red Wings logo, yes they have details. Yes, they are beautifully designed. And yes, no one would call for a full redesign on their main logos because of how iconic they are. But, if you think that more details = good, by that logic (using the Blackhawks logo as an example), its hair would show strands of hair and the feathers would be more quilt-like. And it's already been detailed enough. We wouldn't want it to go overboard, would we?
  14. I'd kill to see a mod conversion on one of those PES games (not eFootball, though, because I don't know if it's possible to mod there).
  15. Is this template available in MS Paint form? I was trying to make concepts with yours, but it keeps giving me some kind of pixelated ugliness.
  16. And sex appeals don't always the league itself work. Yeah, it's popular with the "boys" who like to have a feel what it means to pop in the tent but I never shed a tear or made a rant about it when they made switch from padded lingerie to something that resembles an actual uniform.
  17. Someone comment on that badge and say it looked more like a graffiti than a proper football one. I say the updated Cyrillic font and the edition of a stylised double-headed eagle is a huge plus over a decently simple one from the previous World Cups. One of the few new badges where it got more detailed than before.
  18. Or, you know, have a red yoke to make the white jersey more fuller than it is?
  19. Never saw the socks like this before. Safe to say, never want to see that again.
  20. Look up close and personal and you'll see why nobody wants that.
  21. How about turning your artworks into something real? Like a poster of all the leagues you created?
  22. At least there's a stripe on the pants (and yes, the blocky T is there too), but that's not saying much.
  23. I mean, you're not wrong. After all, even during the O6 era, there are small minor league teams whose jerseys have stripes of every thickness level, pattern, and other variations. Okay, maybe 1 of them might look what Adidas keeps 'recycling'. But what do I know? It's a Heritage Classic with a fauxback flavor (at least that's what Buffalo is going for). Wish the Leafs would do the same and just lift some old jersey from the past and apply it to their design. Makes it more tolerable than whatever they have currently.
  24. If you want to take away from the black alternate jersey, look at the name plate there: That is the only good part I have to say about this jersey. Imitating the logo wordmark and apply it the same way to the name plate is a nice touch and isn't too bad at all. What IS too bad is that it's now stuck with lame jersey nobody buys. Like, that's a nice diamond in a pile of goat :censored:.
