They are both great in their own way. Ah yes, the 90´ , where there was too many great NHL jerseys to choose from. Even the designs that ended in the trashcan would put the jerseys of today to shame.

This, with the current skating Penguin on the shoulders (black and yellow not black and gold) would be an awesome 3rd for next season.

FinsUp1214 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 I have to admit...as much as I'm not a fan of San Jose's uniforms and vastly prefer the 90's set over what they wear now, STL/SJ is a really visually appealing matchup as far as colors are concerned. Double-blue and gold vs. teal and black looks really good. I think it'll look even better when the series shifts to San Jose and it gets more teal heavy.

I don't think its a particularly good uniform matchup at all. Not like the Penguins and TB, specifically at Pittsburgh. That has a beautiful sharp contrast which the SJ STL series does not. I think the SJ home games will be a bit nicer to look at though. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be the same as these for the Sharks and all similar jerseys, I'm sure. It only looked awkward for 3 people. Most fans didn't even notice I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

wildwing64 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 The Sharks jerseys are going to be a mess if they make the Final. Captain's patch, Finals patch, and 25th anniversary patch assuming they keep that there. At least they don't also have the front numbers anymore, or those super heavy hemstripes weighing them down.

joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Well at least the 25th anniversary patch will be gone next year I still dont get why they had the jersey numbers in the upper right of the sweater at one point. So redundant and wildly unpopular. It just seemed like a random dumb place to put uni number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It (and the scooped hemline) are the only remaining vestiges of the original idea for the Edge uniform system. Originally the sweaters would be tucked in, tighter, and feature front numbers, in addition to numbers on the pants. The tucked in idea, and the pants numbers idea, both died before they could be realized. The front numbers hung around. Mostly because it seems like a few teams that went with them during the initial Edge roll-out just can't be bothered to change them.

Add piping to that list since it was never used on the pre 2007, 6500, jerseys. The Flames and Sabres inexplicably use it in the worst way possible; ending randomly for no reason all. The other two holdouts are Nashville and Colorado, the latter of which holds the current honour of worst dressed franchise. Also add the separate panel for the Reebok logo, aka "The Reebox," still used by the Avalanche (of course) and just disposed by the Panthers.

I believe there was a team that had the cup patch sewn over a anniversary patch, edit, found it: A 1992 Stanley Cup patch was sewn on a separate piece of material and covered over NHL’s 75th Anniversary logo later that season. http://pittsburghhockey.net/penguins/uniforms-overview/commemorative-patches/1991-92-badger-bob-johnson-memorial-patch anyone know if other teams also have done this ?

joekono Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I think the Penguins throwbacks are beautiful especially now having HD to make the yellow pop. I just can't get over the Sharks(well, Reebok) removing the striping on the jerseys they have now. They would be one of the best looks in the league if they had the 2007 version sans the front number. I guess that extra weight has prevented them from getting to the finals but it didn't seem to bother the Blackhawks(who probably have the heaviest jerseys in the league).

Mostly because it seems like a few teams that went with them during the initial Edge roll-out just can't be bothered to change them. Based on what Dallas was wearing and those awful Thrashers thirds, I think the front numbers were an effort to force out blank jerseys. In football, you can't get a jersey without a player on it (unless you REALLY try) so you have to 1) pay more for the custom numbers and 2) when that player leaves, your jersey is visibly out of date, and you're encouraged to get a new one. Blank jerseys don't have that issue, and in the NHL, they still look really good even without numbers and names on them. Front numbers, or more importantly, the absence of them, makes it look like a vastly inferior product, so you have to pony up and get the player on it...and if RBK had their way, that might've been the only way to get it at all. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wordmark is crap, but that was really the only bad thing about the uniform. Stick a logo there and you have a decent modern design. 15 hours ago, hockey week said: Based on what Dallas was wearing and those awful Thrashers thirds, I think the front numbers were an effort to force out blank jerseys. You might be right on the money there. I remember a couple of years back, the NHL.com shop seemingly didn't have any blank jerseys at all. You could only buy the player jerseys and blank just wasn't an option. Maybe the NHL was trialing the idea of forcing people to buy player jerseys, but everywhere else was still doing blanks.

hockey week Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yeah, just to remind everybody, this is certainly the lowest point of the Edge era Just a total, absolute, inexcusable mess.
