Kevin W. Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 1 hour ago, anythinglogos said: I’ve always been a proponent that the Capitals Edge look was a solid modern design, but the Adidas switch really hurt these jerseys. The ‘boxier’ template gives much less of a ‘swooping’ impression that the piping on the previous template accentuated. And the piping not tapering towards the collar makes the piping appear thinner and inconsequential. And of course the piping doesn’t start from the collar anymore but just randomly interrupts. While I disagree that the Capitals' Edge look was ever good (the pre-Edge look (by which I mean their white jersey because that black jersey was hot garbage) was their best jersey ever, fight me) you're right about the Adidas change making it worse. The same thing happened to the Kings and Blue Jackets too. Much like the Capitals, their final Edge look wasn't good but Adidas made them both worse.

spartacat_12 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 The variety of colour schemes in this playoffs is great. I count 10 different primary jersey colours, and almost all of the first-round matchups are between 2 distinct looks (other than CBJ-WSH, which are inverted versions of each other).

monkeypower Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 So I saw this going around on Twitter. I was under the impression that there were the black horns under the shoulder yoke, but is the negative space supposed to be buffalo head as well?

mmajeski06 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Learn something new everyday. Never noticed that about the Buffalo jersey. Usually just drawn into the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the "in situ" look was also good, so no harm there IMO. However, I haven't actually seen a designer or the team say that was the intention. I think it's plausible and maybe probable, but not confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I am officially on the band wagon. Watching them in the playoffs, I think they should switch the black pants for grey, at least on the road. I still hate the white gloves.
