Tigers6884 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I love the Sharks jerseys and the huge TV numbers. I cannot say the same about the Kings though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The Sharks are looking pretty good. Overall its a better looking game than the Kings/Ducks one from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 If every team had sleeve numbers like this game, I never would've had to get eyeglasses for when I'm commentating hockey games.The whole thing is ruined by the leotard look. Hockey players don't want to look like they're wearing leotards, that's for figure skating. Uniforms are split up with different things being different colors, and when they're not, they're separated by horizontal stripes...that's how it's been since the game started. Leotards are bad.With a few tweaks, like flipping the socks, maybe a hemline stripe, I could love the Sharks jerseys. and with black pants, I could like the Kings jerseys, but until then, I don't.I think they're using multiple sets of pants for LA, I was wondering if the players would sweat through them and NBC Sports would have to alter their closeups to avoid showing everyone's jocks, but it hasn't been a problem yet, surprisingly. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollTribe19 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Niemi's pads are awesome....but not with this uniform....it's like the past and the future intertwined. It doesn't work for me at all, and I've never disliked a brown retro pad setup until now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockey week Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Sad part is, his vintage pads would go better with their standard jerseys. Most of the old AHL jerseys didn't bother with hemline stripes, so he'd look pretty properly vintage with San Jose...but would the brown pads slow him down? We know how adding ink slows you down...

RollTribe19 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I remember the Flyers goalies kept wearing their brown pads for a few weeks after their Winter Classic game. Obviously, that look was really good with their set. I remember being disappointed when they finally switched back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 For anyone who thought, "Well, maybe the Kings' white pants will look better in actual game action":No.I didn't mind them to be honest with you. Granted I didn't watch alot of the game. I got stuck watching CBC's feed (I abandoned CBC earlier this season, after 30 years of loyal viewing, due to all the losers that were brought over and ran off to the Rogers Center Ice package) and got stuck listening to one of the worst play by play guys out there (Paul Romanuk). I tried to watch the game on mute but it wasn't the same so I watched a movie instead.Man I want to punch this guy in the face. The Catch of the Day!

Diamond Dweller Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Considering their concerns over uniform weight I'm sure the Sharks owners are dead set against uniform ads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that CBC has gone to hell since they were taken over by Sportsnet. One thing that I hate about HNIC now is that they replaced After Hours with Sportsnet's HockeyCentral. I think you got the wrong guy with Paul Romanuk. He's better than Mark Lee, and I'd even say that he's better than Dave Reinsdorf. He seems like a decent commentator to me. Why do you despise him as much as you say you do? I really liked him as a commentator when he was covering the Spengler Cup and I actually haven't minded him on HNIC either. If there's a new CBC person I'd like to smack, it isn't Paul Romanuk, it's George Stroumboulopoulos. Considering their concerns over uniform weight I'm sure the Sharks owners are dead set against uniform ads...No doubt, well, I hope so at least. If you told them that the Ads can make a jersey lighter and the players faster, they would probably consider it. XD I wish that the Sharks would start to be a little more concerned about wearing a decent Hockey Jersey again. I hope that the Sharks Prototypes from when they first joined the NHL surface somewhere someday. I hear they were considering Royal Blue and Green. I'm sure a Green and Blue Sharks Prototype would be a very interesting jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 In a weird minor change, the Ducks appeared to have changed their gloves.Last season and seasons prior: all black with orange writing.For the most part of this season: black with orange cuffs and black writing.And now starting with their game last Wednesday (just from looking back at the team's photo gallery): all black with white writing.

M4One Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I've never realized the thing with the gloves. Always figured as long as it was in team colours it doesn't matter if stuff like the lettering mattered and needed to match. That is kinda weird.

VikWings Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I like the purple (forum blue) ones better than the gold. They gold was too bright to me, they needed purple helmets or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely preferred this year's orange cuffs, but maybe they were more expensive? Easier to order the all-black gloves in bulk?IDK, but I'm not a fan of it. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the gloves had a little color to them, but I think they would need gold on the gloves with the orange to really balance. Honestly, the black/white looks best to me of the three.

Still MIGHTY Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 They look ok there with the white jerseys, but they don't look as good with the black jerseys. But idk, personal opinion. It is still a weird to just change gloves midseason. I'd really like to know why though haha. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
