2015-16 NHL Uniform and Logo Changes

Recommended Posts

I don't think it's hyperbole to say this is the worst jersey the Blackhawks have ever worn. What trash. The asymmetrical collar is the clincher. I think I was just remarking last week about how the Hawks had no need whatsoever to embrace the 6-point star fetishization, and hey, here we are.

When asked for comment, Rocky Wirtz said "Whatever, :censored: you, you'll buy it," as he has for any and all Blackhawks-related questions since August.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Why is the logo tilted?

Looking at all the extra puck bunnies in the stands.

Doubt it. The snow will ruin their 8 pounds of makeup and the cold air will chap their lips too much. The only way they will show is if the NHL dumps Coors as their Stadium Series sponsor and replaces it with those chapstick egg things.

Sporting Venue Count (for games): OHL: 19 (28 Total)- 770 games (after 18-19),

MLB: 13 (15 Total), NHL: 4

I actually like using those things. I find they work really well.

Oh good god that Blackhawks jersey is bad. That's a radical 90s tshirt right there. So much is going on with the shoulders and sleeves, nothing is happening with the hemline, AND HALF THE COLLAR IS WHITE. Just a total mess.

Has anyone legitimately heard "the city of big shoulders" before? Because I haven't.

I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

10/10 How the Wild should always look (didn't take off points for the numbers because they're required)

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

The Wild clearly won their battles with Reebok. That's a beautiful jersey, could work all the time if they wanted to. How about that pants logo? Breaking new ground for hockey there.

The rest of these, their best defense is "it's a one-off"

Add hem stripes to match the sleeves and this is perfect. (well besides the numbers)

As for Chicago. Fix the collar and add hem stripes to match the sleeves and it's passable. As is, it's as bad as the Wings' one.

The Kings and Sharks went that same route last year using their LA and SJ logos, respectively.

How bad does that scripted alternate look beside these beauties... If these were made the new homes, I wouldn't even care if the set matched. The Wild would be one of the best looking teams in the league. This unveiling just hammers home the fact that the Wild have arguably the best primary in the league. Criminal it's only on one of their uniforms unencumbered.

As for Chicago; case of being careful what you wish for. After seeing this piece of hot garbage, I wish they just used their current road....

I thought that was more on the front. My mistake, I stand corrected.

My thoughts:

Detroit: Its a decent change, I kind of like & its growing on me. I like the D & I think down the road, this would be a potential 3rd jersey, maybe with some tweaks or not.

Chicago: It just looks rushed, I like the star treatment on the collar but it just look too busy.

Minnesota: This needs to be their new home jersey, end of discussion.
