It's disgusting. What a bunch of cowards. "Smart" isn't the word I have in mind This is a new low. Like we even need ads. Geoff Molson is a piece of

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like it was made with the create-a-team function in some NHL game, I don't think it's legit. Just a concept to show what a uniform with teal gear might look like

Much appreciated but I need a medium or large, unfortunately! Now we're talking! Teal gear would look pretty cool with the away jerseys I think

I want that jersey so bad! But with Kariya's name on the back. They're impossible to find these days. I've looked everywhere

Boston? Yeah cause they won a Cup in them lol There's a reason why every team save for them and the Ducks eventually moved on from their piping, random blocks of colour, armpit stains and side panel jerseys, most of them even before Adidas took over, cause they looked terrible Washington is always in the bottom 5 whenever anyone does a jersey ranking, I've never seen so many people, let alone on here, defending them. What's going on?

Nobody likes piping and side panels, especially on a hockey jersey Then again, I'm on the hunt for a 2007-2014 Blues jersey lol. So again, it's all highly subjective But ask yourself, are you a tiny bit biased because the Caps have been consistently one of the best NHL teams over the last decade+ while wearing that jersey, including winning a Cup and having arguably the best/purest goal scorer of all time on the roster?

Alright, let's just agree to disagree then lol At least we sorta agree on the side panels, they really suck and have never, ever, ever looked good on a hockey jersey Are we talking about the same Ducks uniforms? I'd call those jerseys many things, "timeless" is not one of them I know what the word dated means and it definitely applies to these

Come on, I'm willing to respect some of your points since it's all very subjective but you're saying those jerseys didn't age quickly and poorly? Yikes. I can't think of a more dated jersey, other than the Ducks maybe, but it's not as old as the Caps' set. Those Caps jerseys are based on a semi-generic Reebok template from 2007, 15(!) years ago The Texans comparison is dead wrong, as someone said earlier in the thread, the Caps are the Arizona Cardinals of the NHL lol

Even for the Devils? Perfect? With THAT name and number font? No Also, I'm nitpicking but the shape of the eagle logo is kinda weird, it only worked on the jersey next to the diagonal stripe but on its own it's always looked unbalanced

I think the navy is a near perfect alternate and should be the basis for their home and away jersey but the red jersey kinda sucks (mostly because of the shoulder stripes) and is giving me AHL/minor league All Star game vibes Unpopular opinion?

Agreed. It's only a few tweaks away from being a solid design. They can keep the front and shoulder logos, font, colours, gear, navy alternate jerseys and even the current home and away socks lol. They just need to de-Edge-ify the jerseys And I also agree that they never had great jerseys. There's always a design element or two holding them back

I think it was something even more nefarious than laziness Just Reebok trying to put their stamp on the league

I could see the Caps bringing back their Cup/Ovie jerseys in 20-30 years if they aren't still wearing them of course lol. As depressing as that sounds Do the 2007-2016 Penguins count? No piping but still a templated monstrosity

Speak for yourself! His movies were flawed but he's still the best and most accurate Peter Parker and Spider-Man we've had on the silver screen lol If Sony wants to bring him back for their Morbius/Venom/Kraven universe, I'd be more than okay with that Sorry for derailing the thread. But you're right, nostalgia is a hell of a drug

And they're not wearing it against the Habs, Bruins or Maple Leafs either. In fact they only wear it against one old North East division rival, the Sens I wonder who decides these things. Makes no sense to me, even looking at the calendar, it's not like they just picked weekend games or anything. It just feels completely random. Oh well. Still pretty cool that they're bringing it back

It was the exact same red they use on their regular jerseys and the Nordiques blue chest stripe isn't quite the same powder blue as the Expos. So it's pretty unlikely. On the other hand, I've always wanted to see a red version of that jersey! Hot take: if the Canes absolutely wanted a black home jersey, this would have been a much better choice

What would make no sense is a team from New Jersey wearing a jersey inspired by the Colorado state flag and named the Rockies, after the Rocky mountains

I wonder what it would look like if you swapped red for burgundy and royal blue for steel blue. With yellow possibly being replaced by silver as well? I've always love those Rockies jersey. R/W/B + yellow trim is such an underrated combo, but at the same time the Avs have a really unique colour scheme and it would be a shame not to use it

Funny, I never made that connection before but you're totally right. It would have looked just as good in navy and copper imo. But then it would have been too close to their regular jersey Yeah I don't like the execution either. The idea was there but if that's the final result, I find it a bit underwhelming We never seem to agree on anything I think it looks great in orange!

Well nevermind then lmao Sucks that we can't delete posts on here

Has this one been posted yet? Kind of a weird choice, I wonder if Oilers fans liked this jersey. Do they have fond memories of this era? It's certainly interesting that without the RR program, we would have almost certainly never seen this design again on an NHL rink Feels surreal that a jersey from my youth is now old enough to be retro. I'm really getting old lol

Do you accept suggestions? lol I really enjoyed this series, it would be a shame if you simply dropped it

It's been nearly a year. Time for another concept ahah

I know they often make exceptions but the rulebook says (said?) you can't have two teams wearing the same helmet colour, I'm not sure about black vs navy Besides, I've always thought that a dark helmet paired with a light jersey looked amateurish. Like all those low budget OHL and LHJMQ teams that can only afford one helmet lol Which is probably what is stopping the Wild from having a cream away jersey

With sand coloured helmets? Like nicotine stained white appliances? Gross, no thanks lmao
