    I really hope this is just the stadium series jersey

     

     

    I like the inside of the collar paying tribute to the New York City Subway (it's made to look like the tiles on the walls of subway stations). Don't like anything else about it. Why is there a royal blue stripe on a navy blue base? (It's below the white stripe on the bottom right picture, it's barely visible)

     

    This would be the first Rangers jersey to feature the primary crest since these 70s disasters:

    And maybe a all white alternate uniform..... like the Bengals use!

     

    For days when the team is named the Polar Bears!

     

    😅

     

     

    If they ever wear white on white again and/or introduce a white helmet, I could totally see their social media team rolling with "POLAR BEARS 🧊🧊🧊🧊🥶🥶🥶🥶"

    I think I know my issue with the current black Carolina Hurricanes jersey.  The logo is now accurate with two flags, but its too vertical.  It needs some horizontal balance, like the triangle that was there before.

     

    To add to the critique of the black jersey, I don't know why the shoulder yoke is that grey color -- it doesn't appear anywhere else. If they want to include a shoulder yoke, I wonder if making it red would be better.

    They're definitely up there. Especially on the road. On a white, black, and gold uniform, you have a red and blue logo on the chest and a huge green logo on the helmet. Now, on the home uni, the chest ad is on par with a lot of teams out there with clashing chest ads. And the helmet ad matches in color and even has a penguin in it, but having the words "BOLD Penguin" feels corny as hell, even if it is an actual company (based in a division rival's city). Even then, I could at least attempt to tolerate it, if they didn't make both helmet ads MASSIVE.

     

    I love this team, but everything about them off the ice has felt so stale, bland, and corporate-focus-group for years. Boring social media, lame in-game presentation, a sickening abundance of advertising and sponsorship activations everywhere you look in the arena - and this goes back years before COVID. I mean, know it's happening everywhere to some degree, but as soon as the NHL announced uni ads I knew the Pens would be one of the first to jump on and make a mess of it like they have. And yet, across town, the team owned by notorious cheapskate Bob Nutting has resisted uni ads for an entire season.

     

    I've been holding that rant in for a long time.

     

     

    In my opinion the worst ad in the league still goes to the Habs, because they dared to desecrate the most sacred hockey sweater of all time. Shame on you. For the same reason I consider the Yankees to have the worst uniform ad in baseball.

    Watching the Ducks-Bruins highlights, I find these Bruins jerseys to be a headscratcher.

     

    I do like the simpler logo they're going with but the gold on the jerseys was a bad choice.

    The jerseys just look washed out. Kind of like their reputation after last year's choke. The black socks don't help either.

    I don’t want to see the death of color uniforms, but here we are-

    Dallas never rarely wears the navy jersey and damn near exclusively wears white. Hell, we have yet to see it this season and we’re halfway in. There’s a real shot we may not see it at all.

     

     “But Tradition!” Yeah, no thanks. It’s a shame because the Cowboys have a great set. They just ignorantly choose to turn away from the best part.

     

    You don't want to see the death of color uniforms? I feel like traditional white uniforms are far more endangered than color uniforms (traditional white uniforms being white uniforms that aren't white unitards).

     

    I've said this before and I'll say it again, royal blue >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> navy blue.

     

    There has to be balance between white and color uniforms. The Cowboys and color vs color games are just at opposite ends of the spectrum.

     

    (By the way, I'm pretty sure the Cowboys are confirmed to be wearing your beloved navy jersey on Sunday. I haven't seen a tweet about it, but GUD has them in navy and it's typically pretty accurate.)

    I've always thought a grey version of the originals would look good, but I can understand them not wanting to do another grey Reverse Retro.

     

    I strongly dislike grey jerseys in any sport besides baseball. Such a dull color. Grey jerseys often just end up looking like white jerseys with an inferior color base.

    And ditch the white verions while they're at it. They should be using the original uniforms with no changes. Second choice would be their current reds with a matching white version. Anything else is just continuing the visual mess they started in 2013.

    Yeah, I never understood the 2013 rebrand. Their uniforms without the hurricane pattern didn't really have any character to them.
