If they can utilize it correctly, It'll be a great complement to their blue and yellow scheme. I've always wondered why they never did this. Just don't overdo it with the red and you've got a solid counterpoint to their (more or less) perfect set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, two of the last four Islanders third jerseys (orange in 2003 and first black in 2011) were unveiled in November. Their second black one (2015) was announced in mid-September. These were, of course, all under the Reebok era, so I don't know if the change over to Adidas has altered the league's approach. Before it was leaked by the NHL Shop, the Ducks orange third jersey was not revealed until they came out wearing it for the opening faceoff (I don't think they even wore it for warmups) about a week into the season. And the third jersey they revealed in 2010 was not unveiled until game time the day after Thanksgiving. With the exception of the Stadium Series jersey, the last time they introduced an alternate any earlier than game day was the black one with the eggplant sleeve stripes they introduced in 2003!

Well, considering that I just had my Kings select-a-seat window on Monday without a mention of an alternate anywhere it's definitely more than just a Ducks trend.

joekono Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 On the St. Louis Blues, I'm sure it was mentioned but I didn't realize it until December, I hated they switched to white numbers on the home instead of yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffinM6 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 I actually prefer the white numbers for the Blues at home. Is that an unpopular opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I also prefer the white numbers for the Blues. Not sure why, they just look crisper, cleaner and cooler to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Harry Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Yellow numbers looked better when the blues were just a blue and yellow team. Now they’re a royal and navy team, with some yellow and the white numbers complement the modern look better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj882000 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Yellow numbers on the dark jersey is a big part of the Blues' signature look, it baffles me that they changed them to white, especially when it was basically for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never understood why, for the black jerseys, the Flyers just haven't copied the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL.

Davideo Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 In a vacuum I think you could argue that the black socks are better strictly from a design perspective, at least is more consistent. However, as a B's fan, I hate the black socks. They had an unusual look that differentiated them from the Pens or some random minor league team. I do agree that a tweak or two to the stripes on the yellow socks could be an improvement. Interesting that they got through the BFBS uniform phase with yellow socks and just as the fad is about done, they switch to black. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that they are going to be wearing black socks for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
