Agreed. The Hurricanes' whole persona is built on taking "traditional" hockey ideals and shoving them in the face of everyone else. I think it stems from them leaning into the "Bunch of Jerks" label in 2019. If old hockey just shut their mouths that year I don't think Carolina's social media presence ever becomes this insufferable.

I know I'm in the minority, but I really don't like these. Besides switching back to the original shade of navy blue so that it can match the helmet, everything else is a downgrade. I don't like either of the two alternates and the number font is significantly worse.

Was this paired with black socks? If so, no thank you.

I hate the new numbers. They look incredibly gimmicky compared to the original font, which was much closer to standard block. It also didn't help that they decided to switch to navy numbers outlined in red on the road.

Seriously, why did people hate this uniform?

They will look even more crap now

This is precisely why I can't stand their team. I have absolutely nothing against the players, I'm sure they're great people just like any NHLers you'll ever come across, but their marketing and fanbase is unbearable (and yes, it does extend to their visual identity as well).

we really didn't need someone in this thread becoming the grammar police

Based on the photos from the release and based on the precedent that the Cardinals set, I wouldn't hold your breath

And the socks. Which all match the pants color. Eww. But my main problem is that they decided to keep the same colors. I cannot understate how much more I'd like these jerseys if they were in the royal blue and deeper orange of the throwbacks. That navy and flat shade of orange just don't do it for me.

This is a lateral move, at best.

Disagree. Socks can make or break a set in my eyes. Good pants/socks combos (i.e. not leggings) can save an otherwise boring or ugly set, while monochrome and leggings can ruin a good set (not sure I'd call this set good, but it'd be better with contrasting socks). Unfortunately, the latter situation is far more common nowadays.

The socks!

Not a single fan over the age of 13*

I hope both sides of your pillow are warm tonight.

True. It looks so washed out on a TV screen. Ends up looking more like this color

What you just said...

The Bruins posted this graphic and all I can think of is how much better the centennial uniforms would be in this shade of gold

Because the warning flag jersey got designated as the home jersey last year, this is the first time since 2009 that the Hurricanes are wearing their primary home jerseys in the playoffs

Yeah I'd honestly take the all-blue from last set over this set's because of the pants stripes.

Thank god

As long as they wear white helmets (which they seem to be), this is great news

I'm about ready to fire every single person in the Texans' and Broncos' design departments. Every single leak, without fail, has been hot garbage.

That's simply the most boring uniform I've ever seen. There's not really much else to say. No front logo, not even a logo that looks like the female reproductive system. The black/neon green, on the other hand, is horrendously ugly to me. I will never be a fan of that neon green color, in any sport.
