It COULD have looked good with blue pants and white helmets. Now it just looks stupid. There's absolutely NO logical reason for the blue helmet if they're going for a "#WHITEOUT " type of uniform These, on the other hand were executed (EDIT: almost) perfectly and look better than their regular home jerseys

What kind of moron decided it was a good idea to wear white pants and blue helmets with those???

I love those alt vs alt games. I wish more teams had white alternates Has there ever been a thread on this board for this particular topic? I feel like there should be one lol

In either this thread or the 2021-2022 thread I've argued with a few posters who were defending them lol I'm guessing they grew up and/or started watching hockey during the late 2000s-early 2010s and have fond memories of that era. This is the only rational explanation

Why couldn't they have done this at least? Or maybe even a bigger nod to the Expos with red numbers? Either way, still another very strong batch of jerseys overall! Florida is clearly the winner here, both jerseys are absolutely phenomenal Detroit managed to f*** it up once again while Toronto have nicely recovered and put out one of the best RR this year after dropping a deuce last year Some teams got lazy again (ahem, Carolina, NYI and Minny) Again, only a few stinkers, most of them fall in the good to great range My top 5 Fla: So good. I'm speechless Ana: Once again, more Mighty goodness Was: Again with the screagle but I like this one much better than the red one! Pit: Should be their primary imo LAK: Hate to be that guy, but they look so CLEAN Honorable mentions: Van, Cal, Ari, NJD Bottom 5 Car: Really didn't understand the assignment and the jersey itself isn't really good either Det: Yikes. What hasn't been said about those before? How hard was it to reverse the home jersey? Or even away jersey? CLB: This is uhhhh... why not stinger? Probably my least favorite TB: Should have been BLACK! Why the hell would they make it white? NYI: Not THAT bad, just a bit of a disappointment

Same user also posted this Very disappointing

It's simple really, I saw an opportunity to derail the thread and went for it, cause that's what I do lol While I love old school Doggystyle era Snoop Dogg, his G-funk doesn't strike me as good hockey music

I said modern rap lol. This is old as dirt

Well I don't doubt it but it's not my fault they always choose modern trap garbage in those videos lmao Then again, I get it. This is what people listen to these days. They're just trying to please as many people as possible and I'm just a 30 year old boomer who yells at clouds and thinks rap hasn't been good in over 20 years. This isn't a hill I wanna die on lol. I just miss the days when guitar-based music and hockey (or just sports in general) went hand in hand. We've derailed the thread enough I think. Let's just agree to disagree

As long as it sounds like Party (Up in Here), sure, but modern rap isn't like that anymore lol

Completely off topic but agreed lol. Rap/hip hop should NEVER be paired with hockey. It just doesn't work. It's a fast, hard hitting sport, you need hard rock, metal or hell, even EDM or techno, but something fast and energetic

Hard disagree here. Some teams get it right the first time, others like the Flyers improve upon their original jerseys after a few years (the 80s, 90s, pre-Edge set) The contrasting nameplate will never not suck The hollow numbers on the alt and hollow captain letter on the away are just as dumb as gimmicky as the nameplate And lastly, that shade of orange is brutal So close yet so far, for me. They should just go back stitch for stitch to the Lindros era set. With or without the black alternate Wow very intriguing and unexpected!

I'm not feeling the new gloves, at all. They look especially bad with the third jersey I never thought I'd say that but boring, safe, solid black gloves were clearly the best option Unpopular opinion?

The Habs and Rangers need to follow suit! Any team that doesn't have black in their colour scheme, basically

If they were actually silver and not chrome, it would look great imo

My Habs looked so good last night without the disgraceful helmet ads and sponsor patches I almost forgot how much I hated the Bell/CIBC sticker on the helmet because of the new patch Now THAT looks like a major league game. It's a shame it won't ever happen again :censored: you Bettman :censored: you Geoff Molson

Much better! Is this a pre-season thing, along with the weird font for the names or have they finally decided to come to their senses and put the captain letters back where they belong, on the left side of the chest? Either way, it's probably just to make room for a disgraceful sponsor patch on the other side. For shame

Wait, some people thought it was just gonna be a one-year deal?

That's like saying is better than diarrhea. Both are terrible

Still looks like a soulless DisneyXD-ified version of the original

Plenty of people on here love to whine about the black in that Ducks logo actually lol. We even argued about it a week or two ago ITT This one is an even better example

There's just too many teams with either solid coloured gloves or just a contrasting cuff roll. And the contrasting cuff roll (often white) seems to be especially trendy and I think more teams could make an effort to have a unique colour scheme on their gloves like Montreal, New York Rangers, Arizona and Vegas do. I just think the basic Leafs white cuff roll template is kinda boring Just a small nitpick but I've always been a gear nerd so I care more about this stuff than most people on here who just like the jerseys I guess lol I'm talking about the cuff roll on the gloves by the way, not the cuffs on the jersey

I'm not crazy about the black numbers, they might grow on me eventually though, but I'm mostly disappointed about the white cuff roll on the gloves. So boring and overdone Overall still an update over the previous two uniforms I guess
