This But then again, while the bone uniform is a very cool idea in theory, I still think the white jersey looks better. Wearing bone twice a year strikes the perfect balance imo. It's a bit gimmicky but that's kinda what alternates are for, especially when all possible throwbacks look awful lol

Swaggy? Is Elijah Moore secretly a 35 year old white accountant who still thinks it's 2012 and that Lil Wayne is the best rapper alive?

I just bought a $36 Alouettes jersey at a Lids store, which is a a pretty steep and unusual 60%-ish off discount Between that and this year's new helmets, could this mean anything? Is there a 5 year rule in the CFL?

To me, playing O6 dress up means trying to pretend your team is older and more prestigious than it actually is Just seems insincere and fake. Just trying to cash in on a trend The Wild should still be wearing their OG jerseys with the jagged numbers I don't think the Panthers are doing that. Other than the chest stripe, it's not really a faux-retro uniform Modern doesn't have to mean gimmicky like the templated RBK monstrosities. Modern is also Winnipeg and Vegas, both contemporary classics imo In short; Traditional =/= O6 dress up Modern =/= gimmicky pseudo tech

Yeah such a classy and timeless franchise. Could have sworn they'd been around since the 1700s when they starting wearing that generic pseudo-retro trendy cashgrab alternate lol You're grasping at straws "Loud, bright jerseys and agressive logo" You sure you're talking about the Panthers?

I'll never understand why people love that jersey. The very definition of a soulless and generic jersey. An expansion team from the early 2000s playing O6 dress-up because double blue jerseys, roundel logos and vintage white were trendy in the early 2010s Especially now that we have yet another navy blue + light blue team in Seattle. They don't wanna look like the Rangers (which they absolutely don't, not even remotely close) but they wouldn't mind sharing their colours with the Jets and Kraken?

I had to google yellow hockey pants and honestly, with the white jersey, I think it could look alright. As a once in a while thing, of course I don't think any team has ever worn teal pants but why not? If bright royal blue and kelly green have been worn before, I'm sure teal wouldn't look that weird. While we're at it, their gloves could use some more teal on the fingers or cuff roll With all the trends that have come and gone, I think it's about time the more imaginative glove colour patterns make a comeback along with pant stripes. Vegas is the only team with different home and away gloves, I'm not saying every team should do it, but gloves are a very important design element that's often undervalued The difference a little splash of colour can make is huge. Best example is when Hossa was on the Penguins. They had solid black gloves that year but his gloves had a vegas gold pinky stripe and the following year the whole team now had vegas gold accents on their gloves Another example. Owen Nolan's gloves look way better than the generic black gloves worn by Turcotte Sorry for all the pictures lol

The black Panthers helmet is alright I guess, Carolina Blue would have been a thousand times better, though. Slightly disappointing but hey, it was so predictable so it's not like I had high hopes The white Bengals helmet is good, as expected, it will look incredible with the rest of the white uniform, BUT I had no idea white tigers were a product of inhumane inbreeding practices. This is new information to me and I'm not sure how I feel about the Bengal's white tiger look anymore With that being said, I have no choice but to buy Madden 23 lol. Choosing uniforms is gonna be more fun than actually playing the game

Literally not what I'm saying at all I know no one is confused. I just think it makes no sense to wear white to encourage the navy team while the visiting team is white. It made plenty of sense back when teams wore white at home but the effect is just not the same anymore. What I'm saying is really not that hard to figure out, you don't need to misquote me

Hmm, not sure this is a good idea. This could result in a scenario where you would have the Oilers or Canes wearing their stealth jerseys for seven games in a row lol. I really don't want the NHL to become the NFL or worse, the NBA when it comes to relaxed uniform rules. Teams have to be protected from their own stupidity I do. I think it's dumb to encourage fans to wear white when the home team is wearing navy blue, especially since it's not even the same franchise that originated the whiteout. Not every single tradition is good or makes sense. The plastic rats are cool but they had to tell people to stop throwing real octopuses on the ice in Detroit. And don't get me started about the catfish thing in Nashville!

No weirder than teams still pushing for "whiteouts" in this colour-at-home era. Like why the hell would I want to feel like I'm encouraging the other team? lol

I dunno, it doesn't always look purple, depends on the picture and lighting (the one you posted is super desaturated and dull) but it always looks muddy and cheap imo. And it pretty much only happens when royal blue numbers are outlined with red. I think the NY Rangers away jersey (among countless other examples) name, numbers and script logo would also benefit from having a white gap but that's just me I guess For some reason, blue and red touch on the home Habs jersey but it doesn't bother me as much. Then again, I think it only bothers me when red and blue reflective twill numbers touch. The 1945 throwback and 2016 WC classic with the blue chest stripes outlined in red look gorgeous to me, for what it's worth Yeah the more I think about it, it only bothers me when the materials used are reflective. So if they were to use felt numbers (like on the 2016 WC) I wouldn't have any problems with it. Or maybe twill but with a much thicker red outline? And of course the "concept" I made looks terrible, it was completely on purpose lol

Perfectly good and fine and consistent jersey: Not bad but the numbers ruin the "red and blue cannot touch" rule applied everywhere else on the uniform, therefore it is inferior as it creates the annoying optical illusion that makes the number look purple from a distance [MOD EDIT: I know you're exaggerating for effect, but don't please bring that into it]

I thought my well done steak and ketchup metaphor was ridiculous enough to show that I'm just busting his balls in the least hostile way that I can. I guess I should have used the sarcasm font? Come on lol

Objectively wrong opinion. Like wanting your steak well done with ketchup on it and a glass of lukewarm milk on the side lol Red and blue don't touch anywhere on the jersey, so why should they touch and bleed onto each other on the numbers? The double outline is absolutely needed here. Not debatable, sorry!

Shade of red was changed in '99. Pretty obvious if you compare a jersey from 1998 or earlier to a current one Pretty sure the shade of blue was also darkened that same year Name and number font makes a HUGE difference, especially on the away jersey, but of course that's not the one you posted cause it wouldn't suit your argument lol The color went from blue-white-blue with no laces to white-white-blue with laces and it's not due to the switch to adidas as they were wearing a solid white collar with laces the year before with Reebok so you're wrong again The logo absolutely did change over the years. Sounds like you've never owned any older Habs jersey. I have. I know what I'm talking about All subtle changes but all real changes. Nice job trying to shift the goalposts lol

Shade of red, shade of blue, name and number font, collar, logo shape and size

I mostly dislike the colours and logo. Too WHA for me. I could list everything I think looks bad but nobody cares so I'm not gonna waste my time lol Yes, that's word-for-word exactly what I said. Come on, don't be arguing in bad faith. You're better than that spartacat Nope. There are many, many differences with the current Habs uniform and the one from the 70s. That's what I've been saying all along. The Oilers should have brought back a MODERNIZED version of the Gretzky era jerseys without the dated quirks. If we traded for McDavid and brought back stitch for stitch our dated 70s jerseys, I'd be pissed What I have in mind for the Oilers is something like the Bruins did when they switched over to Reebok. A modern day classic inspired by the past THIS. Between the Leafs and Canucks (and Jets to a lesser extent) we already have enough teams wearing blue home jerseys And correct me if I'm wrong but don't the Oilers wear the exact same shade of dark royal blue as the Leafs, Canucks and Lightning? Or is it now the same shade of blue as the Islanders (yikes) and Blues?

You're right, I guess I should have specified that they have not changed their jerseys since Jordan last played on the team* Oof, probably not. #tankforBedard lol

So apparently this confirms that the Golden Knights are going with gold full time and dropping the grey jersey. Yet another disappointing jersey announcement this week lol Although I'm not sure how reliable this is. It doesn't say anything about a possible RR jersey

There's no contradiction, the Habs have never changed anything drastically but they've tweaked it several times along the way The Oilers keep changing their colours instead of just sticking with something and fixing it gradually when it starts looking dated If the Habs went back to a perfect replica of their glory days 1970s jerseys I'd be complaining for the same reasons The Sabres comparison doesn't work at all because they brought back a new and improved version of the jerseys they wore in the 70s and 80s, there's a few key differences (mostly the much more vibrant shade of blue, texture on the logo and white stripes on the blue jersey etc) So basically you're proving my point here. This is exactly what the Oilers should have done instead of trying to cosplay as Gretzky's team. Anyway, I'm done arguing about the Oilers, their jerseys suck and no one here is gonna change my mind lol

Not really. Our jerseys haven't changed drastically in decades and they never will either. They only modernized it a few times with subtle tweaks so that it doesn't look too dated. Same goes with every other O6 team. Not comparable to the Oilers at all, who've only known success for a few years in a specific decade and have changed their colours 3 times now only to go back to their "classic" and very dated uniform associated with a very specific superstar after a few years. None of these things apply to the Canadiens Edit: also, we definitely don't have a McJesus that we can build a new identity around lol

I dunno about that. They really seemed to like the orange jerseys. But then again, they'll probably wear anything that has a 97 on the back lol Besides, you don't have to agree with me. I know my opinion isn't exactly a popular one, but I'm not gonna change my mind. People are just blinded by their nostalgia goggles when it comes to the Oilers. The Gretzky era jerseys sucked and bringing them back without changing anything is a mistake. But my opinion doesn't matter since I'm not an Oilers fan and they will make a killing off of jersey sales anyway which is the idea behind the change, probably

Because the Bulls never changed their uniforms. I can't speak for the 49ers I've never been a fan of their uniforms or colours lol Edmonton should have kept the Gretzky uniforms around and tweaked small details over the years but they didn't so when they bring them back it just feels like a shallow cash grab Again, time to move on

I thought navy blue with a single outline on numbers and solid navy blue gear was a nice compromise, but of course they had to choose orange as the home jersey base colour. If they had gone with navy blue instead and kept the orange jersey around but only as an alternate, I'm sure they wouldn't be announcing a return to royal blue this year. Then again, who knows. I may be cynical but I'm sure they just want to sell more merch cause the owner is greedy and in another 5-6 years they'll probably go back to navy and copper again only to bring back the Gretzky era uniforms a few seasons after that lol
