I came to a similar conclusion once their alternate uniform came out; pairing it down to burgundy, navy, and white is my favorite path. There’s something so fresh, crisp, and cold about this color scheme, and I totally think it would translate well to the home/road and logos. It evokes the concept of high altitude and snow much better than the medium blue and silver, in my opinion.

 

Maybe it's me, but those colors look muddy when paired together.

You know what, you cracked the case.

 

The Stars are going to be dropping green, a colour they have worn for their entire existence even going back to Minnesota, and changing to black and white next season because they are using a black and white logo as social media profile pics. They are  going to introduce it through profile pictures by using a black and white logo, which most likely is an already existing logo in their style guide, and slowly but surely work up to a full rebrand for next season.

 

The Coyotes Panthers and Leafs are also going to switch to rainbow colours too, based on their profile pictures, so be prepared for that also.

Thank you for the sarcasm

Yeah, the Stars are just getting around to the trend of posting an old logo on Twitter and asking people what players it reminds them of.

 

It's nothing more than that.

And the black and white treatment on the logo for 2 weeks?

Not sure if this is for a social-justice cause or what?

Are the Stars just bored, or are they sending a subtle message?

P.S. their logo is still black and white on all their social.

Per their Instagram, the Penguins are confirmed to be wearing their gold alternate uniforms this postseason.

Yuck

I see very few redeeming qualities to this uni. It can't leave soon enough. 

A few logos I haven't seen in a minute...

Separately, I see the went retro for Marleau's potentially final NHL game.

But the stealth uni is returning next year...hrm...

Again, I'm getting no clear sense of direction from this franchise, particularly on a visual identity. Are you retro simply because of a franchise anniversary and Patty's finale, but normally, you're going for a BFBS modern aesthetic?

Extremely disappointing. Why keep that crappy stealth jersey around if it's already been shelved for a year and you have not one but TWO better options? Mind boggling. The modernized logo still hasn't grown on me after all these years and neither has the orange trim. They got it right the first time and the late 90s redesign was pretty good for the era, maybe it would look a little dated now, but the Edge jerseys were massive downgrades imo

The entire slate of California teams needs to make changes to their primary and/or away unis. While I kinda get the Kings and Sharks standing pat for a moment, the Ducks staying status quo is brutal.

With the Yotes, Flames, and Sens going full retro starting next year, the California teams have the distinction of the worst primary/away sets in the league, along with the Caps, for my money.

We'll finally get to see these beauties in action

 

Love the jersey, in a vacuum. I'm just hoping they look unique on the ice and not like a pseudo-Jets.

Similar to the VGK going gold, it seems obvious this team will eventually go with the pale seafoam/blue over the dark navy. Wonder if thought was given to going that route.

What would that mean for the Hurricanes do you think? They're considering going to their black jerseys full time or promoting the flag logo to full time logo status? With how they've been all over the place with their logos and jerseys, it'll be interesting to see with them.

Disappointment in my opinion, as they fixed the home and road, and maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I think their current home and road set is sharp. If nothing else, the striping is bold, and it has a subtle nod to the flags.

I find if I'm flipping channels, and I turn on a Canes game where they're wearing black, for a good 10 seconds or so, I think it's the Senators... before I notice the yoke. 

Here's some level of wishful thinking: the team made note of the fact that grey is the only color that ties Hartford to Raleigh. Could we see "storm grey" or whatever become either the dominant color or get incorporated more into the striping pattern?

Just a thought.

I'd prefer this to simply elevating the current alt.
