njdevs7 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Its a nice patch. Only the 2nd time the Devils will wear white at home since the league wide change. Would have loved to see the white/green throwbacks. I think they will break them out eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a well-designed and attractive logo, but (as @BrianLion mentioned) McMullen had bought the Rockies with the sole intention of moving them to New Jersey. To incorporate the Rockies into the design seems bizarre and off-putting to me. It'd be like the Ravens including Browns imagery on an Art Modell patch, or the Dodgers putting the old Brooklyn "B" on a Walter O'Malley patch (perhaps even stranger, actually, given that McMullen intended to move the Rockies from day one of his ownership). Obviously the wounds in Colorado aren't a fraction as deep, which is why there won't be any consternation about this among folks in Denver, but still. It's like whoever designed this had no sense of the history there. (Note: not condemning McMullen for moving the Rockies to Jersey at all - they were inevitably going to move, whether it was to Jersey or Ottawa or somewhere else. Just saying, to commemorate the Rockies on a McMullen patch is extremely strange.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 It has kind of a conquering-hero vibe, like we took this team and made them ours, which is, in fact, what they did. It's just strange to see a team do it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score two, I think. Quote While the Seals struggled on and off the ice to establish a foothold in the Bay Area, the heritage of that franchise eventually came full circle into what today is the San Jose Sharks, regarded as one of the most successful expansion franchises in NHL history. That's about as close as you can get to saying "This franchise is the Oakland Seals" without fully admitting it, I think.

Quote Under the terms of the 1990 expansion agreement, the Sharks were allowed to participate in a dispersal draft, selecting players from the North Stars organization to comprise their expansion reserve list in San Jose, bringing the Seals genealogy back to the Bay Area.

Just saying, to commemorate the Rockies on a McMullen patch is extremely strange.) Devils will wear their current white jersey's friday night while the alumni present will be wearing the original home white jerseys. Confirmed alumni are Chico Resch, Ken Daneyko, Randy McKay, Claude Lemieux, and Stephane Richer. If it wasn't for that 1995 Stanley Cup Championship the Devils may very well have relocated to Nashville. McMullen was unhappy with terms of the agreement with the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority (Owners of the Meadowlands/Brendan Byrne Arena) and was in heavy negotiations with Nashville representatives to move the team to a brand new arena there. By the Devils winning The Cup McMullen was able to renegotiate the Devils lease and keep the team in Jersey. It was McMullen's dream to eventually have a new arena built for the Devils on the river in Hoboken but sold the team before that plan got off the ground. I agree with kroywen that it's odd to incorporate the Colorado Rockies imagery into the patch. When the Devils moved they chose not to recognize any stats or records from either Kansas City or Colorado and basically considered themselves and like a brand new expansion team in 1982-83. When the Devils moved to the Prudential Center in Newark there was a mural painting on one of the walls the depicted the Kemper Arena (KC Scouts arena) McNichols Sports Arena (Colorado Rockies arena) and the Meadowlands. They also had a display with the original Jersey Devils (EHL) Kansas City Scouts and Colorado Rockies jerseys. I believe both have since been removed. Regardless, the patches worn under new ownership are miles ahead of what was worn during the Lou Lamoriello era. I'll take the Rockies/Devils patch over the black and white patches worn in the past any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 So there will be two NHL teams wearing the same logo/variations of the logo at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Even when the Devils had their original color scheme and had slightly more lively patches, they didn't even do it right. Their 10th anniversary patches were worn on the rear of the hem of the jersey.

OhioSportsMan61 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I don't get why teams with arm stripes don't put the NHL 100 patch inside one of the stripes like the Kings did. It just looks way too crammed fit between the stripes and TV numbers. My Behance Portfolio --- Follow @Steinosaur19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The western style shoulders yokes were great. The unique collar laces were also great. The simplified number font and striping fixed a multitude of problems the current Flames primaries have. And now they ditched all of that in favor of the poorly executed edge jerseys that are still being worn. Whoever's in charge of the design department over there hasn't done a very good job, imo. Also, a shame that this logo is gone too... Maybe they have intentions on going back to their retro look full time when Adidas takes over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It's cool that Len Shapiro will be at that game in San Jose. He's a nice guy who politely answered alot of my questions about the Seals a few years ago via E-Mails. I also didn't know the team was actually called the Bay Area Seals for the first 2 months of the 1970/71 season. I knew they were going to be called that and those SEALS wordmark jerseys were designed for that name but I always thought they changed the name to California Golden Seals BEFORE the season started!

ldconcepts Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 The Blues website heading is the lighter blue, with the vintage logo replacing their current. (They'll be wearing them for six other Saturday games this season.) While I love their current set, I wouldn't mind if they took the WC set, swapped out all the vintage white for white, changed the logo and collar and created an away jersey. That being said, I think the best course of action is just making it their permanent third jersey.

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Those light blue jerseys are a thing of beauty. If they were a woman, I would make sweet sweet love to her for 23 hours a day. I would take her to all the most exotic locales on the planet. I would buy her only the most exotic foods and the most fragrant of perfumes. I would buy her the most rarest of gems and jewels. I would buy an island in the South Pacific and name it after her.
