Sport Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 From the ECHL Bureau, the Orlando Solar Bears present: "How To Ruin A Look"Go O6-era fauxback when your colors are peak '90s, shrink your well-received logo inside a thick roundel, and in that roundel, misalign your team name so that, instead of being the Orlando Solar Bears, it looks like you are the Orlando Solar Bears, a rec league team sponsored by the local alternative energy company. Yuck.Don't worry, there's also contrasting nameplates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatic Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Unpopular opinion here, but I like the scalloped hems of the EDGE template. I just feel it flows better with the uniform as a whole, especially considering players are bending at the hip quite often when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Unpopular opinion here, but I like the scalloped hems of the EDGE template. I just feel it flows better with the uniform as a whole, especially considering players are bending at the hip quite often when playing.Except that it looks like a diaper...It throws off what could rightfully be the best uniform in sports, and that's not ok. The scoop hem was used for the Predators Mustard third jersey and the Canucks red tide fade third jersey. Neither time it was noticed because it was the same color as the pants. Both times it was dumb. Someone should've really pointed that out to reebok before they used it. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

chcarlson23 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just got done watching the Wild-Avs game, (Parise with the HATTY!!!) and the new "C" logo doesn't look so bad on the Avs shoulders, but it isn't the Yeti foot, and The middle is NAVY! So they added another color. I know all that was talked about, but it still baffles me why they added Navy.

Chewbacca Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I like Colorado's new shoulder logo better than the yeti foot. Yep, I said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I like Colorado's new shoulder logo better than the yeti foot. Yep, I said it. I honestly don't mind it as much as I thought I would. I just don't like the direction they are going with the super Colorado Identity. They definitely are introducing Navy to the scheme. Last night the free pom-poms at every seat were all navy instead of the normal white.It is like they are going towards a "Colorado Coloradans" identity. Enough already.Just got done watching the Wild-Avs game, (Parise with the HATTY!!!) and the new "C" logo doesn't look so bad on the Avs shoulders, but it isn't the Yeti foot, and The middle is NAVY! So they added another color. I know all that was talked about, but it still baffles me why they added Navy.That game sucked! Haha They are changing to Navy because look at the Colorado State flag is navy. They needed to introduce the color into their scheme somehow.

MEANS Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Navy apparel is easier to get than the lighter blue and burgundy they use. Sourcing also will have an easier time matching their navy pms. Less color matching issue/stock issues...etc. The switch to navy is slowly happening. https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 That's much better than the white version, but I'd still rather see the primary logo on it. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Yuck.Don't worry, there's also contrasting nameplates They had the contrasting nameplates already, which were the only things wrong with their previous set. In some ways, I like this new set; the chest stripe isn't quite full-on Habs, and it strangely works with these colors. But the roundel with the text problems sod mentioned? Nooo. Free the bear! Also, skip the black alt and go with that bright orange. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Morgan33 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 The colour that has represented the team for 20 years is barely distinguishable from the suffocating swath of Navy... Blur your eyes and it all but disappears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone done a mock up of a white version of this? I think a white jersey with the navy pants and helmet would look even better. I could see them making one and making them their new primary jerseys next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
