Well of course, I can't speak for everyone but I love hockey more than I hate ads

He's not talking about shopping for a jersey, he's talking about watching the game. What a weird analogy

Greed. It's always been greed. I've said it from the beginning, it really isn't surprising at all that the helmet ads are sticking around

They also need to go back to yellow socks with the black jerseys but agreed, they need a little more yellow on the away jersey

Oh. Well I guess if you like the jorts then there's no point in continuing this discussion lol. Let's just agree to strongly disagree then

Looks alright on the home jerseys but it's really just a lateral move at best imo. On the away jersey the blue pants and glove look objectively awful, though lol And we all know they're not gonna do any of that and the blue gear will keep looking out of place on the away jerseys. More than the black gear ever did

Tick one of the following boxes □ Yes □ Also yes □ All of the above

I wish they would have at least picked one color that's never been seen before or very rarely in the NHL. Lime green, salmon, anything. I love how Vegas went with steel grey and their color palette is instantly recognizable. I still hope their gear isn't solid blue at the very least. Now that would be boring Edit: I know, seafoam is technically a new color but it's really just another shade of light/powder blue and the double blue combo was cool 10 years ago but now it's just overdone. Basically, they're just yet another red, white and blue team, except with a subtle twist

Yeah I guess I can see where you're coming from. Anywhere but ON the shark could still work, though. Maybe teal eyes? lol. Never liked the teal nose. Then again, the Blackhawks don't have any tan on their jersey and no one is complaining, the Sharks don't really need teal in the logo other than the outline of the triangle imo

Agreed, the Ducks really need to bring back those '03 uniforms, with the eggplant and jade gear and the shoulder patch. And unfortunately, the Caps won a Cup in those jerseys so they probably won't start thinking about a redesign until Ovechkin retires or moves on and they start rebuilding. But yeah, they look pretty dated Please no. The OG logo is easily the best part about that jersey. The updated logo with the teal nosed shark looks way too cartoony with the wonky triangle and wacky proportions, it just looks awful. They just need to make subtle adjustments to the stick and leave the rest alone

I was 100% with you right up until that part lol. Just no, leave the shark alone, it was perfect

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

Full disclaimer, I'm a casual football fan at best so I have no idea if this is actually an unpopular opinion or not, but solid colored socks have really grown on me. Especially when they're not the same color as the pants but sometimes I don't mind the leotard look. So much better than the alternative, which is nearly every player wearing his socks "incorrectly". Solid socks are probably seen as a nothing more than lesser-evil option on here I'm guessing? IMO, these look good Say what you want about the Rams, they look better than the Cards in this one, mostly because of the Cards' outdated jerseys but also because they're all wearing their socks differently to the point were it just looks uncoordinated and random What the hell is this? Again, say what you want about the mono-black look but at least it looks like a uniform in every sense of the word. There's a cohesive element here, all the players wear black pants and socks and they look like a team Last example, the Lions look so much better than the Texans here. Just a more complete, cohesive and professional look

The duality of man

I like both lol. Some people don't like the "of Anaheim" part? I guess I've been living under a rock all along

Unpopular opinion?

So is it just me or do the Panthers really need to switch to light blue helmets? The logo would need a white outline obviously. And there needs to be at least another red helmet team. Even just one. Falcons or Bills, whatever. Not enough red in this league imo

That's an unpopular opinion? I think their current set with the light blue alternate is a modern classic and better than what they used to wear in the 90s and 80s Agreed. Their white jersey does look great

Right I forgot about the Penguins. Still, only one or two small mistakes is impressive for EA lol

EA have been surprisingly spot on so far with the RR jerseys. I'm really hoping this one is just a mistake. Dark socks would look awful with white jerseys and helmets

Oh I totally pulled that number out of my ass lol but the point is, what the players wear on the field/ice is kinda irrelevant to us since we don't even have access to those jerseys cause even "authentics" aren't even close to what the players wear in most cases. Especially in football with the baggy cut and 3/4 sleeves "authentics" vs form fitting and short sleeves on field jerseys. All the tech and breathability in the world don't really matter if you're just watching the game on your couch

It would be next to impossible to find reliable stats across different sports but counterfeit jerseys blur the line even further. To make matters more complicated, basketball and football have mid level options (swingman) available. Anecdotal evidence but when I go to hockey games, I see more knockoffs than replicas and authentics are excessively rare. When I go to CFL games, it's 99% replicas and 1% game worn since it's such a small league that counterfeiters don't bother making fakes and game worn jerseys are actually priced reasonably lol

Most people don't buy on-field authentics though. It doesn't matter what the players wear when 99% of the fans buy the screen printed replicas anyway. And I don't know how different the "authentics" are from the actual team-issue jerseys are in the NFL compared to hockey, but even then, they're very different in quality. I do agree that replicas used to be much nicer in the past, especially hockey and basketball jerseys

Yeah I know, I thought it was obvious that I meant that I liked the first template/cut. Just a little misunderstanding, I know they're all the same jersey, on paper

Wow the first version was actually not that bad imo. Still missing a bit of gold but it looks alright
