Answer the question. 

Heterosexuality is adaptive. It is our evolutionary match. Homosexuality is not, It is a marker of civilizational declension. Read John Glubbs essay The Fate of Empires where he explains that all empires/civilizations follow almost the exact same blueprint when they enter the period of decline in their civilizational cycle. These same markers almost always become prominent with few exceptions.

Mr. Dsygenics? Do you have a problem with genetic health?

Question. If you see a guy and his girlfriend out do you immediately obsess over what they do in bed? No? Then why do you seem to obsess over what my boyfriend and I do in bed? 

Because homosexuality is not heterosexuality. If you think they are interchangeable you might want to rethink your worldview.

The sock striping going all the way down to the ankles is a terrible 90s trend (started by the Ducks and Panthers in 1993-94) that needed to die 15 years ago. It looks inferior to traditional mid-sock stripes 90% of the time but especially on white away uniforms as the players look like they're wearing knee high socks with short shorts. /rant

 

Should I post this in the unpopular opinions thread? lol

I think it's a fine look if it matches the jersey striping. Colorado, Anaheim, Coyotes, Nashville, Vegas, Seattle, NYR Lady Liberty, ect. The only team I think it doesn't look that good on is the Capitals. 

Didn't even realize they didn't update the socks. Looks terrible now. Would it have killed them to  add a black stripe that goes all the way to the bottom of the sock?

So just as I predicted they went ahead and pulled an Ottawa and just used an inferior interpretation of an old classic. 

The Vegas gold jersey is a great third jersey, and that's it. It does a great job of creating continuity within their look established by the original set, and its sparkle and shine is aesthetically suited for a team from sin city known for the glitz and glamour of the strip. Hence the “That’s So Vegas” slogan that was used to promote the jersey when it was unveiled.

However, for a main jersey their grey sweater was perfect in almost every way.  The way the minimal use of red would pop on the sleeves, the dazzling golden armbands with the embossed pattern was a perfect way to use a glittery gold color without overdoing it to the point of it being jarring, as well as being the most eye catching part of their look. The logos featured a significant amount of black which they balanced nicely with the striping, black pants and their base dark grey color. 

People criticize the road jersey for not having enough black or working better with the gold third, but I think it was fine, their was enough black on the logos and on the collar for them to wear black pants and it fit far better with the grey sweater than the gold, after all they were designed for each other. The gold armbands and waist stripe on the white jersey but white armbands and white waist stripe on the gold jersey looks off. The matching use of gold on the original home and road is superior. The lack of black on the third is negligible as a third, but then you drop the black pants from the road jersey and go heavy on the grey, and the gold jersey is too heavy on the sparkling gold which the white lacks and you create a color imbalance. It appears as if the gold color should be the predominant color on the road after white, similar to nashville, but for some reason it's the grey color. And then little to no black anywhere but on the logos and just on the road collar only which creates a minor yet unnecessary inconsistency.

This is a great look. It feels like it combines all the different eras of Sens uniforms into one new look

Thanks! I really appreciate the positive feedback and I'm glad you like it.

Inspired by a recent post on the 2023-24 NHL Jersey Changes topic, a few past concepts of my own and a recent AI generated Senators mascot.

The exact same colours they have now. The red is only present in their terrible logos. So if they're doing a rebrand as is being speculated, they can switch to new logos that do not have red in them. Then whatever proportions they use "Aviator Blue" and "Polar Night Blue" in on their new uniforms, it won't have red. Easy Peasy. 

Agreed.

What it is now, but without red. 

So kind of like their current reverse retro? Or their 2018 third?

Winnipeg can ditch the red and Seattle can change it to Salmon. Win-Win.

What would the Jets' color scheme be? 

Didn't even know they had an outline on their logo.

How come the numbers on the preds jersey are so low quality?

The Jets' logo always felt like a secondary pressed into service as a primary. It would look great on the shoulders, as it does on their AHL teams over the years. Up front, it feels inert. Time to design a new version of the old primaries.

By old primaries do you mean their WHA look, their 80's look or their 90's look?

Excellent news, if true. Honestly two-tone blue never fully clicked for the Jets with me, and their alternate is basically what I wish the Rangers still looked like, albeit without such a dark blue; since they don't seem to want to go back to that striping, I'm glad at least someone is willing to.

Problem with the WHA unis is that the white jersey looks way too similar to other jerseys. Specifically Edmonton and to a lesser extent the Rangers and Bruins. I never liked the WHA look just because they use a pretty generic striping pattern.

That kinda really looks like a Panthers jersey. Hard pass

I would rather Ottawa wear those and the panthers drop their current unis with that weird looking car shield emblem for a logo on a half way around the world chest stripe and go back to the leaping cat as their logo as it always should have been. At least the sens have some sort of historical grounds of wearing something like that, as dated as it may be, unlike the panthers and their current inferior look. 

Been waiting for a new concept series from you for a long time. Clever idea.

If you ask me, this jersey is what the Senators' brand should be based on. Albeit with a different logo.

Something like this, but with a different font?

Just recently came across this unused Flames prototype that was featured on an icethetics video today. Anyone ever seen this before?

Love those patterns, wish they would play those up like the grizzlies did.

They clearly realized that having green and red as your two main colors causes legibility problems, but it's half of the logo so they feel they have to include it. (Also interesting to note how originally the gold of the logo was the main tertiary color, but now it's drifted to the wheat in the outline). I think you can pull off only having red in the logo and going all in on wheat and green (see the Vikings where there's more pink in the logo than purple) but having it be a major part of the white jerseys and a distracting detail to the green jerseys drives me nuts. 

Was it? I don't remember them using the gold/yellow as their third color. Pretty sure it was the wheat since the beginning right?

Forest green and wheat don't have that issue when placed together, so from a contrast perspective it makes more sense. Frankly, I think the better idea is just make the stripes on the road tricolor; red on top, wheat below red, green below wheat. Not only does it incorporate all the colors while maintaining high contrast, but it's a fun little nod to the North Stars' 80's look while still doing it's own thing.

It's also a nod to their original road jersey striping.
