Delicate Genius Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 The OKC Barons used an orange alt last year, and it looked fantastic. I think the Oilers were selling Alberta Oilers throwbacks in their arena shop either this season or last, too.I loved those. They wore a couple different ones.And these are from two seasons ago (not sure if they wore them in 2014-15):United Cycle in Edmonton has been selling these for awhile:http://www.unitedcycle.com/product/ccm-alberta-oilers-classic-jersey-15682.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Eh, the Caps got a lot of things right here, but I don't want this and the white throwback to become the primary sweaters. It just screams of a tacky 80's all star game. Tone down the stars and you have a nice uniform, but I'd much rather have the caps play in blue and black again.While that may be true, they are still infinitely better than current primaries with the goofy side panels.

mmajeski06 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 With the Oilers and Ducks potentially unveiling orange thirds, maybe orange really is the new black...I'm here all night folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I get people get a kick out of the retro gear, but I kinda feel it's just lazy to go into the closet and grab an old jersey instead of designing something decent. The Caps new alt is okay, but it's not totally awesome, either. The old logo, well, looks old, and I think that's what putting me off about it. An orange jersey for the Oilers would look very nice. They just need to fix the collar on all of their jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 That's it? I find it somewhat uninspiring. I would have went either with the great looking Winter Classic jersey or a new alternate with the Weagle up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I guess I just don't quite feel the same way about those Caps jerseys as others do. I see them and feel like Gerald Ford is going to address the nation at any moment. The gaudy 70's-ness of it is just a bit too excessive and doesn't work in this day and age to me. They belong in a time capsule.On the other hand, I'm really digging the idea of an Oilers orange alternate. If it's anything like that Barons one, it's going to look great.

TVIXX Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I don't care what people say, those are great Capitals jerseys. And I prefer royal blue to navy, but I'd live with the navy. Honestly, keep everything else the same, slap either the new wordmark or the Weagle on the chest and call it a day.just put the weagle logo on the throwback jerseys then done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Oh good, now they can wear the capilals sweater at home! The slate/copper/black Caps sweater was one of the biggest upgrades in NHL history and that wasn't even that good in and of itself; the capilals was just so bad. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Holmes Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Not a huge fan of the Capitals old logo there. There's not a whole lot wrong with their current, modern incarnation, nor was there anything terrible about the 2015 winter classic 'W' logo, which I think is actually quite fantastic.

RyanMcD29 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I mean, the red Capitals throwbacks are cool and all, but I still think they're missing out on an awesome opportunity to do a navy alternate with the weagle as the front crest Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd76 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Trying to look through all 49 pages is tough. Is this a summary of where we're at with uniform changes? Anything I missed? Anaheim -- new orange alt? Arizona -- new uniforms; new logo? Buffalo -- alt dumped Colorado -- new uniforms Edmonton -- new orange alt? NY Islanders -- new alt, possibly black/white for Brooklyn? Washington -- throwback red alt replaces throwback white alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianVlietDesign Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I like that uniform a lot, but was hoping for something new. I'll take this for now and definitely buy one. However, I can see them adding a new alternate in 2 years or so. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask, why in the hell do the Caps continue to be given a pass for their crappy wordmark logos?That's what I've always tried to figure out, too. I thought as far as purely logos were concerned, they finally figured it out with the 90's Eagle and capital dome logos. For them to scrap that for basically a polished turd of sorts really baffled me. Dusting off the original turd to use as thier alternates this season and last has just dug thier identity hole deeper.

charger77 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I think making the collar blue, using the modern caps script logo and adding the eagle to the shoulders (and possibly re-configuring the stars) would have been a solid upgrade on the original jersey.FTR... I do own a Jim Carey version of the original lol! PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
