How about turning your artworks into something real? Like a poster of all the leagues you created?

At least there's a stripe on the pants (and yes, the blocky T is there too), but that's not saying much.

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.

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:.

Has anybody thought of a gold alternate for Washington already? At least it's a million times than what they got currently. Besides, they've just messed up with the jersey sets, which the burgundy wins where the other two loses. It sucks that a fairly generic nickname is followed up by bad design decisions.

Huh, I thought the commissioner is the one in charge of who gets a franchise. I get there must be an owner's vote or something, because that's the only reason why they don't want to take the heat and instead let Bettman do it. Still, not liking a decision to keep a failing franchise afloat and approving ad patches on jerseys (even when it's small).

It won't come to me as a shock if Bettman and the rest of his gang build a church upon the First Nation graves, take a huge dump on said church, spewing out anti-mask and anti-vaxx statements like yapping dogs, and to top it all off, intentionally misgendering and insulting some group of Trans people, JUST to spite the Canadians into furious thinking and bluffing while laughing at how much outrage they can get and still get their positions as official leaders of the NHL. EDIT: I feel this 'wishing a terrorist to come and kill that guy' isn't enough. Gary Bettman makes mentally challenged people look like Einstein in comparison, considering what kind of thinking he's thinking. I may be a middle-level autistic, and even I know that is shameful by league's standard.

Wouldn't it hurt to add in the team's name? Right now, it could be any team if you replace the flower with something else, because it looks a bit generic. Maybe you can make the logo shaped like a Mitsubishi logo while modifying its shape to be appropriate for football.

Isn't Phoenix a niche market in the sense of the fact hockey isn't super popular there? Because on the other hand, practically everyone (even myself) wanted Quebec to have their franchise back which tells me it's not a niche market, but a major one outside the paper. And if anyone wants to talk about Houston being impractical because of limited public access, the only possible way for me to mitigate this problem is to build an arena 10 miles away from the metro area and build a dedicated public network of train stations and buses. That hypothetical team isn't technically playing in Houston, and if the plan I come up still doesn't solve the issue, just call me a dumbass and send my head to Trois-Rivière.

Speaking of Team 32, how are Seattle doing, financially and popularity-speaking?

It'll be made by Puma, after all. More like fulfilling their dream design come true.

If 6 possible cities are given the honour of relocating the poor Yotes out of a cactus wasteland, and 1/3 of it ends up in Canada, Bettman will die of a massive heart attack. But in all honesty, with the exception of Houston and Quebec City (which still has a chance of getting back the Nords even by a bit), none of the other cities are getting an NHL franchise soon. Austin is a pile of wank compared to Houston, California doesn't need a 4th team aside from LA, Anaheim and San Jose, a 2nd Toronto team will struggle against the much-established Leafs, and Kansas City AFAIK can only host an AHL-level team .

I agree. All it needs is a cleanup and replace the teal with a double blue scheme. I'm willing to do so.

Probably because you can't make money off a small market team in Bettman's eyes. I'll be surprised if it actually happened because, as far as I know, Houston will be more likely to host an NHL team whether you like it or not.

I'll be quite honest with you all. Nike doesn't do traditions as much often as, say, Adidas or CCM. They're experts in making bolder, modern designs that would be better fit in Stadium Series than just a regular old-timey jersey. Maybe once in a while, Nike can go back to basics with a simple pattern a la what Sweden has to offer now. For most of the time, however, all what Nike does is create balls-to-the-walls sweaters that don't necessarily fit within the traditions of hockey jerseys (e.g. their 2018 geometric eagle feathers jersey). Because unless you're someone like China or any modern-day hockey national team, Olympic jerseys will always be weird and ugly no matter how Nike can put out on. They're not EXPERTS at traditions, and they learn very little about it. Now, if I can say this to people who :censored: about Adidas' design choices...

I prefer the Smashville wordmark to actually fit in the yellow stripe, and the yellow stripe itself to be shrink down a little. That way, it gives the C patch a breathing space instead of being squashed terribly. Actually, the more I look at the jersey, the more I notice a load of design flaws it has. Creative, yes, but the rest is a disasterpiece by its own right. This and the Turdburger should be a reminder of how NOT to design a jersey. Especially when it comes to one-offs and alternates. Why has no one draw the line between tasteful and ugly when it comes to Stadium Series designs?

Could you have a space between the V-line and the zebra's eyes?

Your minimalist attempt at a club logo is better than what Juve has right now. The lines making up the letter N for Nacional and a crown logo sells better than a simple J.

And they couldn't remove the green block in this logo. Seriously?

Keep the jersey. Remove this outdated logo. San Jose's updated logo is so much better than their inaugural season. Just remove the orange and that'll be it. I don't like this update here. The sleeves and hem stripe are ruining the look for me. The chrome helmet and white gloves are just the tip of the iceberg. Overall, just throwback to the Gretzky days like everybody else does in the league. Here, it's what the Islanders wore except there's an extra stripe for the sleeves.

If Calgary got a hold of Nike uniform, this can really be an alternate for them.

Napoli? Sampdoria?

If this is part of a full time set, St. Louis can now fall under 'back-to-tradition' category of the 32 teams in the whole league.

The Legend returns with yet another banger!
