Disagree. I've always found navy blue to be way more dull than royal blue. You do have a point about the metallic gold --> basically khaki. To use the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins as an example, around the mid-2000s they had a black/metallic gold color scheme: I prefer their current colors with athletic gold, but you can clearly see the shiny fabric, and it looked decent. In 2007, though, the NHL switched to the Reebok Edge template for their jerseys, and I guess shiny fabric was unavailable on the new template, so the gold basically turned into khaki: It's one of the most drab colors out there. In short, metallic gold is very difficult to produce on modern uniforms that don't have shiny fabric. I'd rather the Rams go for athletic gold, which we know for sure is possible to get right.

2023 NFL Regular Season Through Super Bowl LVIII

I'd argue it was worse because it was at home. And the 49ers actually scored their 42 points in only three quarters today. And we didn't even need any turnovers. From the second quarter onward, our possessions went TD, TD, TD, TD, TD, TD, kneeldowns. -

That's fair, but The 49ers just hung 42 on Philly IN Philly. I'm going to enjoy this one and be a delusional homer for the next couple of days. I'm just going to remind you that Eagles fans would have been even more obnoxious about this if they had won. -

The 49ers just came into Philly and beat the brakes off of the Eagles. After probably the worst offensive quarter of the season where we didn't manage a single play for positive yardage, we scored a touchdown on every single drive up until Sam Darnold's kneeldowns. This is the best I've felt after a Niners win in a while. Brock Purdy > Jalen Hurts. -
I really wonder if this lasts past this season. I know the NHL said that Fanatics will be using the same factories to make the on-ice jerseys, but I haven't heard anything on whether they're changing the template. The last two times they changed templates (2007-08 and 2017-18), they played a season without alternates before allowing them the season after.

Objectively it probably looks better, but it's just so jarring to see a new font on this logo that I really don't know what to think of this.
-
It's not just you - the lettering on the Rangers' shield logo has not been updated in half a century, and to me it looks like the logo (and its lettering) was likely hand-drawn. The "E" in "NEW" is also weird.

Absolutely. As I said before, nearly every alternate and special jersey design the Rangers have made have been designed to look like they're 100 years old. There's a reason for that. They're a classic franchise that has no need for something this gimmicky. In the modern age of third jerseys, here's each O6 team's alternate jerseys: Red Wings: Never had one Canadiens: 2006-07: 1940s white jersey Blackhawks: 1996-97 to 2008-09: Black alternate with main crest 2009-10: 2009 Winter Classic jersey Maple Leafs: 1998-99 to 2010-11: 1960s white jersey 2011-12 to 2015-16: 1967 blue jersey 2021-22 to present: BFBS Rangers: 1996-97 to 1997-98, 1999-00 to 2006-07: Lady Liberty blue 1998-99: Lady Liberty white 2010-11 to 2016-17: Heritage fauxback 2023-24: This thing Bruins: 1995-96 to 2005-06: Pooh Bear 2006-07: Bobby Orr era black 2008-09 to 2015-16: Bear logo alternate 2016-17: 2016 Winter Classic jersey 2019-20 to 2022-23: Varsity B Letter 2023-24: Special 100th anniversary alt Out of those, the only alternates I'd consider to be "modern" are the Pooh Bear, Lady Liberty, Leafs BFBS, and this jersey. Otherwise, it's mostly all throwbacks, fauxbacks, and standard alternates that don't try to push the envelope in any way.

Are you here to critique NHL uniforms or are you here to tell us no one cares about hockey? Come on. These comments bring zero value to the discussion.

I don't know, they're doing fine. They sell out every game. Dolan does literally nothing regarding the Rangers except sign checks. They've been by far the more successful of the two MSG franchises. Honestly, I'd take being third on MSG's depth chart any day of the week.
-
I'm just shocked that this is the direction the team has chosen to take -- the last time they had a "modern" alternate was the Lady Liberty jerseys, which were last worn on a regular basis in 2007. This is the first time since then that they've had a jersey that wasn't meant to look like it's 100 years old (excluding the 2014 Stadium Series jersey, which they just ripped off of the AHL team). Still not sure how I feel about the design, I'll reserve judgement until I see it on the ice.
