"Hahaha, you made a mistake a bunch of years ago, and then you realized it was a mistake and you undid the mistake and made it right which I guess was the totally the correct decision but still hahaha you once made a mistake." And didn't learn from it by releasing the caped, yellow monstrosities three short seasons later. The Slug was such a monumental blunder on all levels, I think it is more than fair game. Not only was it a blunder, it stuck around 2 more seasons than the Islanders Fisherman... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 True, but are there extenuating circumstances there? I don't know about NHL uniform regulations. The NFL, for example, now has a minimum tenure for new looks, meaning that if the 49ers released their "one day logo" today they'd be stuck with it regardless of the massive fan outcry.

Gothamite Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 That would make sense. A lot changed between 1995 and 2006. The sports world was turned upside down. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four full seasons as the primary logo, plus they could have changed it during the Edge switchover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Is it strange that I think the turd burger jersey would actually be improved by putting the slug on the front? Not that it would make it good, but I think the modern lines and the heavy use of yellow on the slug kinda sorta match up with the turd burger.

Morgan33 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 A primarily yellow logo on that jersey would make it worse, even if it didn't look a like a slug. No contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot that the yellow was on the front. 6 minutes ago, hockey week said: I think anyone would struggle to make that jersey worse. .... so make the slug a tramp stamp on the back instead!

I think it is much better with their logo over the 'Slug. Navy on yellow looks better than yellow on yellow. Speaking of the Turd Burger, if they would have just made the back yellow, and added hem stripes, I honestly think that would be a fairly decent third jersey.

OnWis97 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The North Stars alumni game looked great. 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."

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It was great. Especially seeing Gilles Meloche don his old school mask. Meloche was my favorite goalie growing up. Bobby Smith was my favorite player. The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeypower Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It appears the Ducks also have an alternate puck to go with the alternate jersey. Does anybody else do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krabs Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The Wild should use a small-numbered version of these Stadium Series jerseys as their home uniforms. There's really no reason not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I love the Alt. jersey with the script, but I do agree that it's lacking red. But the Stadium Series Sweaters are great! They may be a little overly simple, but the stripes really pop, and that's what the Wild have been going for the last couple of years, a very traditional look. And the Hawks sweater looked better when you really couldn't see the stupid and gimmicky Chicago flag on the collar, or the odd placed Patch.
