Chewbacca Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 http://s1112.photobucket.com/user/NASCARFAN160/library/Atlanta%20Thrashers%20Prototype%20Jerseys%20in%20NHL%202000?sort=3&page=1I was randomly searching something about a particular jersey and this came up. I have no idea if this legit or not but the person who posted this claims this is a prototype jersey that was in NHL 2000, that wasn't used by the Thrashers. Does anyone know? If this has been posted before, my apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi_canadian Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I don't know if that's a prototype. I remember they were late releasing the away jersey at that time and I guess EA Sports just did a colour swap of the white and blue for the game.

Morgan33 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Very interesting link between the classic look and their final design. I'm glad they went with what they did... Although their final uniforms were a downgrade from the previous set, they weren't bad on their own merits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts?If I recall this jersey was proposed for the North Stars because they played in the Norris Division which at the time was dubbed the Black and Blue division due to the fact that all the teams in that division played tough hard hitting hockey. The designer came up with a black jersey to reflect that and a corresponding white. The plan was to actually have it be an alternate uniform set to the classic green/gold set. But when they found out they couldn't use it without making it a full time home/away set, it was dropped.The secondary logo on the arm was the inspiration for their uniform change 3 years later. 2 Quote The Catch of the Day!

charger77 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Interesting...Wonder how we never saw that one until just now.Also, interesting to see the mix of both logos.

BBTV Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Where would the sleeve numbers go?

T-ROY Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Where would the sleeve numbers go?imo they should get rid of the logo on the sleeve and put the TV numbers there, then they'd look much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damnyoutuesday Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 As I understand it, something like this -- Yep. With pants to match. I kind of like that and don't think it would be that bad with matching pants. I've always maintained it is only a matter of time before colored pants make a comeback in mlb.I kinda dig those for an away uni.Can we get a Yankees minor league team to try them out? 1 Quote Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the color of the stripe is the same color as the jersey (as opposed to the stripe being opposite color a la Winnipeg)? You might be on to something.

Gothamite Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 It's not uncommon to recycle unused design elements for a new team. If designers like something, they might keep it until they find a client to buy it. Hell, the Baltimore Orioles recycled a ballpark design that the White Sox turned down. 1 Quote The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

TheRoyalsFan20 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Not sure if anyone's posted this, but this was the Colorado Rockies' original branding up until their debut season in 1993. Some people have told me it has something to do with the baseball and arch lettering, but the only people who know why it wasn't used is the Rockies themselves. It has to be one of the best logos i've seen from the 90s.Here's some merchandise. It took me awhile to find some of this. <----- This might be a baseball card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
