Of course, I’m probably not the only one who thinks they got it right the fir, er, second time:

 

 

 

 

Those old Grizz jerseys are just spectacular...really sucks they’ve changed from such a gorgeous and unique color scheme to bring pretty much just another black uniform club.  I mean the 19/20 set is a decent enough and an upgrade of their current set but they don’t represent the club identity nearly as well as these beauties.

I don't understand why Kootenay went with greyscale on the dark jerseys, it looks really bad.

Agreed,  I know they just rebranded a couple years ago but really disappointing that they essentially did nothing to the identity for this big move.  To have the moniker "Ice" but use dull grey everywhere instead of a bright, icy white seems odd...the whole look is dark and muted and lacks contrast.  And the jersey design with the piping and tiny hem striping looks bad and dated.

Consider Sherbrooke right above getting rid of the cream for just a straight white - I think it makes everything pop more.  The Sherbrooke colorway is actually more would I would think the Ice would fit.

Oh well, maybe it'll be like the Rams where they will adjust the look a year or two into their Winnipeg residency.

I think the two rings go nicely together as a matching set for the W.S. victors (gold) and their W.S. opponents (silver) that year.  Not sure if that's how it always is but you have the Mets ring which is sufficiently nice and blingy unto itself and then the Royals ring adds some layers with the two-tone gold and the custom cut sapphires which IMO is a cleaner look in the logo.  I assume that is an upcharge to do because you have to cut larger stones?

Totally biased but I think they are pretty classy.  Love the diamond-studded crown cuts with sapphire backdrop on the sides.  It lacks the in your face bling of a lot of recent championship rings but IMO its a classy look.

This thread is a treasure...that's all I have to say. Amazing work ren.
