wildwing64 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Not to mention, white-outs are sweet, and unless you have a bright primary color like Nashville or Tampa, you couldn't do a team color-out and you would look ridiculous doing a white-out with the opposing team wearing white.^ This. Those Jets/Ducks playoff games in Winnipeg last year looked silly with the entire MTS Centre decked out in white like the Ducks. Then it's time to start a new tradition. Go with the team's brightest accent colour and run with that. A building full of fans in the light blue would look pretty cool. #PaintitAviatorBlue or something. http://nhluniforms.com/2007-08/2007-08.html A world without third jerseys.

The_Admiral Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Then it's time to start a new tradition. Go with the team's brightest accent colour and run with that. A building full of fans in the light blue would look pretty cool. #PaintitAviatorBlue or something. No. That's stupid. The whiteout is something Jets fans care deeply about. They didn't buy up the season ticket inventory in 15 minutes so that one day they could wear blue to Stanley Cup playoff games. The Jets can just choose which uniform to wear for their home games as is their right as the home team, and wear white in the playoffs. In fact, if we're going to have darks at home, then the Jets should wear white at home all year; their home uniforms are that bad. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Wait - can you do that? Choose a home color for the playoffs? It would make sense, since the other team wouldn't have to pack both of their sets since they're only playing one team on the road as opposed to a normal road trip.I understand they wouldn't let you choose dark for game one, then white for game two, then dark for game 5, etc., but they should let you just choose white as your "home" color (unless they're concerned that your darks wouldn't be seen at all during the playoffs and that would hurt sales).

MCM0313 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think the NHL, like the NFL and the NBA, shouldn't dictate who wears white and who doesn't; it should be up to the home team, with open communication between them and the road team.

VikWings Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm a proponent for white at home for 2 reasons. 1. the road team different color every time and 2. because, nostalgia.But actually I like far more teams white jerseys than dark.Here are the only teams who I think have better dark jerseys than white:Habs (obviously)Avs (both are equally terrible though)StarsPanthersPenguins (ditto avs)FlyersLightningCanucksSo that's only 8 and 2 of them are just lesser of two evils.OTOH here are teams I think the dark alts are the best of their set:DucksFlamesHurricanesBlue JacketsSenatorsPenguinsCapitals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proc Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I grew up with the home teams wearing white at home. I'd like to see the NHL wear white at home for the first half of the season and color after the All Star Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I feel that most teams have better darks or thirds than whites. The only teams whose whites I prefer are the Blue Jackets, Kings, and Wild. PotD:Â 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpsonsimard Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I think the main reason why they switch color vs whites at home is, because of the third jerseys, away teams had to travel with their two sets when they were on a long trip...For example, Vancouver playing in Montréal, Ottawa and Boston. MTL and BOS would play in white while OTT wants to play with their alt on saturday night... VAN would have to travel with both jerseys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianLion Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It's not the jerseys that are the issue, it's the extra set of helmets they don't want to lug around with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God that was a rough year to be a hockey uniform enthusiast It's really sad that more than half of the league downgraded with the switch to the Edge template. At least some of those teams have recovered, though.
