Sport Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 any reason given for the Blackhawks wearing black helmets in that game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Probably just easier for the players to spot out their teammates. Other teams have done it before. I find it strange when teams wear a colour helmet with their white jersey, but it actually looked pretty good for the Blackhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire uniform is completely abysmal. Particularly the bulky shoulder yokes and the way the sleeve stripes, inexplicably, leave a gap for the secondary logo.

Outdoor games really don't have white backgrounds. If you're talking about the ice or the boards, those really aren't backgrounds...the crowd would still be the background if you're looking down-ice trying to find someone. If black was easier to spot, then teams wearing white jerseys would have been wearing black helmets since...well, forever. What's easier to see, the white helmets of the Rangers, or the black helmet of the official? White helmets are pretty easy to spot in a stadium Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Avs jersey is old enough to be sold as a throwback, hi, we're all really really old. It's not like you need fight straps and reinforced elbows for an alumni game, after all.

Sodboy13 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think so, too. But then again, I'm a sucker for an open-topped "4". I like the new, simplified version they're using on the alternates, but it could really benefit from an outline or two.

Totally agree but I think the Avalanche would benefit from some completely new jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say I don't really miss the baggy look of old hockey sweaters that much. Billington in the game looked like he was wearing a huge table cloth.

I remember something about how some player wanted to look like Modano with the baggy sleeves, and when he finally told Modano about that, Modano said he wore a sweater like 2,3 times to big.

When I'm sinking ships and the sky is a lighter color (ie not night), the dark colored ships tend to pop out at me more and are easier to grab and drag underwater. There were times where a light colored ship has sailed right past me and I didn't even notice it. As you can see i'm having trouble grabbing the ship with the white sails while I'm grabbing the ship with the dark sails quite easily. Its all about contrast. So I also thought this would be the case with hockey players and their helmet colors. The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I don't know how to put this nicely, GPO, but with 8 arms you should be able to snag more than one ship at a time. A good kraken would've bagged both boats and a few of those gulls without breaking a sweat. ...But maybe the problem here is not about contrast. I notice the clipper that's farther away has eluded your grasp. Perhaps you are short-sighted. I'd get that checked out because your performance right now...is kinda sucking. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
