Point1 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 All things considered it's pretty impressive that there are only 4 black teams in the league. In 2004 there were 7. 14 used either navy blue or black. Now it's half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't get my hopes up for the third to return as the new primary, but at the very least I'm hoping for something that looks good. I will say, if the Team Store is anything to go by, there is still a looootttttttttttttttt of Mighty merch. And not just a sprinkle of eggplant and jade throwback, a lotttttttttttt of orange Mighty merch. Also not left over stuff, like new designs. I'd almost say there's more Mighty merch than D merch in the store currently, and if not, it's at least 50-50. Including a good chunk of last year's 3rd jerseys for sale (Reebok replica and authentic! but still full price. Bastards.) Whether that means anything, hard to say. Could just be because people latched onto that third jersey and the logo is still part of the shoulder patch and they like making money. But this Mighty merch has the logo outside of the oval. So, I have a sneaking suspicion, and I'd love it. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although much like the Canucks, I really like that they always have green and black separated by white. When alternates are inevitably brought back, I think the Stars would look great in a black jersey with green numbers outlined in white. Maybe the Texas state outline logo on the front.

VancouverFan69 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 23 hours ago, spartacat_12 said: I feel like your last suggestion contradicts your previous points. One thing Vancouver has gotten right with their most recent branding is the consistency of the colour scheme. Aside from their last poor attempt at a third jersey, green and blue are always separated by white, which prevents the bleeding issue you brought up. I think the only way a green outline on the numbers would work would be if they did a double outline in the vein of the Lightning. With that being said, I actually prefer the single-layer numbers. They're unique in the fact that they are the only multi-colour team with single colour numbers. They just need to find a way to add some green to the collars. Perhaps, if the green were lightened a shade or two or if the Canucks went with the same navy the Whalers used have. Number bordering is the one exception in which two dark colours can touch. A double outline would look nicer than single coloured numbers(excluding Detroit and Toronto). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 If there's one thing the Canucks should never do again, it's change, or even alter, their colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4One Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Was it common knowledge that the numbers on the back of the Wilds new jersey is outlined in red, but the sleeve numbers are not. Seems like an odd thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yes. I feel it was just to balance out the red. The sleeves have red in the stripes so the numbers wouldn't need it. The back has no red at all unless it's from the numbers so... there you go. That photoshop job with the numbers is pretty bad though. They couldn't even match the wheat colors right?

The_Admiral Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 We're not doing an AHL thread but this appears to be a new secondary and shadow primary (it's the social media logo and at center ice) for the Chilly Oinkers: A letter R with the Indian Head feathers is certainly moving in the right direction, but holy crap, bad fonts ahoy: you have Rockwell Black which just screams "we couldn't find the Blackhawks font on this computer but this is a slab-serif, close enough" -- 1) the Blackhawks font is Berthold City, and 2) it's not close. Then in the middle, you have...LUCIDA HANDWRITING?!? What is this, a PowerPoint? I wouldn't even approve of a high school using this. (If you want to argue that the establishment date is wrong because the dormant Cincinnati Mighty Ducks were reactivated in 2007 and this team has no claim to the 1999-2007 UHL IceHogs lineage, well, that's your hill to die on.) Then you have "IceHogs" rotated 90 degrees instead of spelled out vertically, which is what I think you usually do on the varsity letters this is trying to evoke. And finally, that bottom corner of the R looks awfully funky, with the corner of that bottom serif clipped as one would clip the corner of a remaindered book. Oh, and "Our Town, Our Team" and its mirror image "Our Team, Our Town" are straight off the Sports Team Slogan List right there with "We Are All _____," "This Is _____ Country," "One Team, One Town," and "Blue-Collar [sport]." The Blackhawks' marketing department is composed of promotional geniuses -- just ask them, they'll tell you -- but some slapdick couldn't have turned out a list of taglines and emailed them to Rockford? Oh well, maybe it'll get some fine-tuning and replace that stupid pig with the childish lettering. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they work great on the Canucks. Feels perfectly cold and crisp. They have to be paired with other crisp design elements, though. The green trim muddies up that pant stripe in comparison to the rest of that uniform. My (unpopular) opinion is that it also looks great on the Blackhawks. It coordinates better with the the striping on both jerseys. Reminds me of the Stan Mikita days.

Everything placed around it, as you've pointed out, is MS Word-quality. Hopefully the Bruins-knockoff crest from their new third (which they've also been putting on some merch for a few years) really starts gaining prominence. When I went to a game last season, this was also being sold on some merchandise, and any hard drive containing the original vector art for it should be incinerated.

The_Admiral Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The Bruins knockoff is okay, but aren't the P-Broons already using their own version of the Bruins' seashell secondary? What business does Chicago's affiliate have co-opting Boston's logos, anyway? Indian Pig Head really shouldn't have made it out of brainstorming, wow. The continued use of the Indian Head is basically predicated on everyone being on their best behavior with it and "the Indian is a pig now" isn't that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 interesting. I hadn't seen that before. I thought they'd do the numbers like that to connect to the road jersey a little more, but i actually think the white numbers look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
