IceCap Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 35 minutes ago, twi said: I think if anyone in hockey could pull off a soccer-esque "City Name HC" it could be Ottawa. Gives them an excuse to go full retro, lose the Roman theme, and brand based on Ottawa and Os instead of any team name. That said I think their current alternate and matching outdoor game one are bottom 5 looks in the league. The "full retro" look worked with the "Senators" name for decades. Well ok. It wasn't "retro" at the time, but still An "O" on barberpole stripes being paired with the Senators name has a Cup-winning history. The biggest problem with the fauxback look they use is the vintage white. Standard white would pop so much more.

Davey Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I think one thing that stood out to me during this all-star game was, not having the numbers on front of the hockey helmets. It was ... refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest problem with the fauxback look they use is the vintage white. Standard white would pop so much more. Another problem is the consistency of the stripe thickness. My solution would be to shrink the center stripes to match the sleeves, while similarly altering the hem stripes (taking into account the curved hem). Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to incorporate the gold from the Roman theme into the "O" logo. Heck, the "O" logo could get a bit of an upgrade (as done by @hockey week): It could use some tweaking (namely the addition of metallic gold and the simplification/removal of the leaf pattern), but I think it's a solid way to get more out of the "O" logo.

A plain O is definitely not the most interesting, but when you add the stripes it evokes the tradition of a city with one of the richest hockey histories in the world. Just because they are a separate franchise from the original Sens, it doesn't mean they can't dress like them. Just ask the Washington Nationals. If the Nationals can look like the Senators, then the Senators can look like the Senators! https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I watched the first period/game of the AS Game while working out so I had no sound and had to look up at a standard-def TV...but it was a nice enough one...37 inches or so. And I usually could not distinguish the black vs. the purple.

Sport Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I guess they thought the white sleeves, gloves, helmets would be enough to distinguish the purple from the black, but at times it was tough. They should've made the Atlantic Purple, the Central white, and the Metro yellow and then hoped the Atlantic and pacific didn't meet in the championship. Would've come with the added benefit of created a purple vs yellow matchup and a black and silver matchup, which is the Kings two best color schemes. I give the uniforms an A-. I really liked the large logo for each club on the pants leg. Take off the stars and the black and white jerseys and that would be a definite upgrade for the Kings. The Hollywood sign number font is a drastic improvement over their existing font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always hated that uneven striping pattern. I get that the Devils were going for a certain "consistency" between the home and road uniforms, but it looks absolutely terrible on the home uniform. And the stripes appear to be uneven in width, to boot. The Devils uniform is perfect as it is. No need for any changes - it's a modern classic.

Maybe the purple needed yellow trim to set it apart? Because my first thought was to split up the purple and black in the first round, leaving only a 25% chance that they'd meet. But why even set up for that? Obviously, they wanted colors that were part of LA Kings history so maybe the purple ones could have been more of a nod to the 1980s as opposed to the 2000s.

Fresno St. Alum Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 When is Vegas going to unveil their unis? I figure they will by the draft lottery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 This could easily be settled. A full 60 minute East vs. West All Star Game with the uniforms being Purple or Black vs White or Yellow. Because the uniforms themselves on their own, are the best they have had in a very long time. I actually wouldn't mind owning one. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I like that logo with Parliament inside the O with the leaves around it. That'd be a 10/10 secondary. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they take the good from these ASG unis, and add to it. Knowing the NHL, though, next season may be a "two steps back" deal.

Nordiks_19 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 So, no alternate jerseys next season and the Oilers will wear the Orange jersey at home full time.

I was upset about this at first. But I actually dig those GULF OIL uniforms. In fact wasn't that why they were orange and blue to begin with? I remember reading (I think it was in Scott Surgent's WHA history book), that they were sponsored by Gulf in 1972 so they picked the Gulf colors for their uniform. The Catch of the Day!
