Orgo Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The font looks a bit modern on the numbers on the Habs jerseys. The numbers also have an inner sewn pattern like the Leafs' and Bruins' WCs uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Now it's getting crazy in here.BTW was there a better looking uniform year in the NHL than '91-'92? I say NO. If only the North Stars had held on to their previous look one year longer The Sharks came in looking sharp, but give me 1987-1988. Pretty much everyone is at their best. The Kings looked great in their purple/yellow. The Whale. The Flames at their best. The Christmas Devils. The only team on that page that looks significantly worse than their best is the Blues (because I think the red was bad). Everyone else looks great. Actually, upon closer look, 1991-1992 was a good year (I was thinking the Devils had changed and maybe even the Flames and/or Sabres had black). The Canucks look a bit better by that point, plus you have the Sharks and the 75th year jerseys for the O6. But the North Stars and Kings had gone to black uniforms and for me that's too difficult to overcome. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

BigBubba Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I don't hate the NHL logo on normal collars, but it looks ridiculous here. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CreamSoda Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The reaction to the Habs WC sweater over on HFboards is hilarious. It's like they have no idea on the history of the Canadiens. "Did a kid design those" "Worst jersey in the NHL" "FUGLY"Glad this site exists so people with actual knowledge of uniform aesthetics exists.

hockey week Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 It looks like something out of the gorgeous simplicity of The Hockey Sweater. It has that very unique style of cartoonishness to it, with the simple logo and numbers and the just-slightly-too-bright blue colorAnd some real love for that sleeve patch! I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regulars are in no way bad.Not bad by any stretch. It's just that white uniforms with the blue chest stripes, be it this version or the 2004 "vintage" entry, are worlds better. The red version of their set is the most iconic uniform in hockey, I don't understand why they refuse to go with a matching white when the design has existed for over 50 years.

B-mer Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Canadiens jersey looks great. This will be one of the better looking winter classics. It's amazing how they actually went with what most here anticipated, barring a few minor details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnPheitseog Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The collar makes me the most excited. Looks like almost a regular collar with the NHL shield just floating down there, which I'm a fan of. Particularly in reference to the two hole laces, fake laces like the ducks and wild, and it is even better than the regular laces with the swatch of fabric.

T-ROY Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The only thing I don;t like about the jersey is the number font choice, it being too modern. A simple block font would have sufficed. Everything else is great.Just an out there question: why is it that Reebok seems to hit it out of the park every Winter Classic, but seem to :censored: the bed everywhere else (omitting St. Louis and Dallas)?

Would they not have won those cups had they kept the blue striped chest? By Sharks terms if anything that heavy shoulder yolk likely held them down.

The current whites have a special place in the hearts and mind of the Habs faithful because of the success associated with them. That's not nothing.
