Morgan33 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 For anyone to say this is a whitewash attempt is going a bit too far. With this argument, should the Penguins keep their current Reebok crap because they won a Cup in it?No, the Penguins should switch back to the uniforms they won two cups in. In their case it's not even the two cups outnumbering one, it's the fact that their current jersey is among the worst in league. Hardly a title you could apply to the Avalanche' mountain range jerseys.What about the Kings? Their jerseys are nothing special either. Nowhere near as bad as Pittsburgh but they have won two Cups with it so far. Should the Kings keep their current look forever too?They're not special but they're not awful either. But yeah, two cups in the last 4 years... Kind of hard to justify changing that look now, outside small tweaks.I would never want to see the Canucks switch to that jersey cause the Millionaires won a Stanley Cup. What I'm saying is that just because a team wins the Stanley Cup with a certain uniform, doesn't mean it should be kept, at least in my personal opinion.Me neither but the Millionaires were a completely different team.

T-ROY Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Nashville announced earlier this summer that they'd be wearing yellow helmets for select games and here's a good pic of what that would look like.Ugliest thing I've seen in awhile. Yellow should never be a helmet color in hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTknight Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Might look better during a game. I like the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollins Man Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 it throws the color balance completely off, and they need to drop that dumb yellow stripe on the pants too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ROY Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 it throws the color balance completely off, and they need to drop that dumb yellow stripe on the pants too.They both completely ruin the look. The pants stripe should be the continuation of the double white stripe on the jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point1 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 The Preds got it right before, I don't know why they're going out of their way to ruin their look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Yellow helmets only work for Minnesota Golden Gophers. Looks horrible for the preds, and for the Providence Bruins too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hate that the Preds flopped the blue and yellow on the away socks. Way too much yellow and it doesn't match the sleeve stripes now.Its like they got good feedback on the yellow and decided to make everything they can yellow.

Chromatic Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 While I still think Navy helmets are superior all around, the big problem with the yellow helmets is that they don't match the jersey colour. The preds wear a darker "gold" and the bright yellow helmets just clash. It would be like if the Coyotes wore bright red helmets with their brick coloured unis.

IceCap Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 It's not at all unreasonable to think making a switch to this look, full time, would be an encroachment on their identity and history.You claimed such a switch would whitewash two previous Cup victories from history. Next time start with the reasonable argument instead of working your way down to it from the crazy one.Also really struggling to find the current logo's resemblance to an objectionable body part.I was referring to the Yeti foot alternate mark.Or the two soft drink products you mentioned...Try these ones Exact matches? Nah. They do remind me of the Avs primary, though.I still think your opinion about the Avs' logo is the most wrong you've ever been, Cap. Well I've got a track record to think of!

Sport Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 It could be the logo for "Avalanche Tasty Freeze", but I don't think that automatically means it's a bad thing. The Capitals logo could be for a regional insurance provider. The Bruins logo could be for a trucking company. The Lightning logo could be for a brand of ski goggles. The Panthers logo could be on Thundercats. Things look like other things. The Avalanche logo depicts an avalanche and the letters of the team, though I've always thought the C could be a tad more defined, and the sport they play. It's pretty good if you ask me.

GMW79 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Has anyone on these boards made or seen a mock up of the Av's logo without the oval? Thank you, sir! I don't think that looks bad. It looks a lot less dated/corporate, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Has anyone on these boards made or seen a mock up of the Av's logo without the oval? That logo is rendered awfully. And it looks much worse without the oval. And the original looks NOTHING like a mtn dew logo or a polar freeze logo.... That is ridiculous.

Gothamite Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 You're right that it's worse without the oval. But it's not much good with it, either. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not much good with it, either.Meh, I really don't see any issues with the oval or the logo in general. Are they my favorite team? Yes. Since 1995.Is it my favorite logo? No. Not in the top 10 of the NHL.Does it need to be changed? No, absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I kinda like it better without the oval. Then if you rotate it so that the bottom line is flat, it looks pretty good. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
