NHL 2018-19

[ldconcepts 1,812]

Although it's early, there's enough discussion and rumours flying to start a new thread for next season.

- The Ducks are reportedly switching to orange.

- All indications point to the Sens adopting the =O= full time.

- Were the Sabres Winter Classic jerseys/logos a test for next year?

I wouldn't be upset if the Maple Leafs adopt this as their third.

Which Pro Image account is correct? This was posted the day after the first tweet.

Am I the only person that think the =O= logo for the Sens wouldn't be a great primary? Go back to the profile senator and have the =O= logo as an alternate, IMO.

You can get a peek of the Ducks 25th anniversary logo at the end of this video.

 

 

It looks to be a 25 with the webbed-D logo as the bottom of the 5. This could be an indication that if the Ducks are changing their jerseys next year, the logo might not.

 

EDIT: Scratch that, here's the logo

 

 

I see what they were going for, but looks almost kind of bloated/soft, if that makes any sense.

Both tweets are correct.  31 teams will have alternate jerseys; 23 of them will get them again.  So at least 8 new alts.

Blackhawks should bring back the black alts. Those were pretty cool. 

[Morgo 3,405]

The Senators are about to be the owners of the league's worst logo, bar none.  Find your happy!

Yeah. I definitely hate that 5.

 

Like @monkeypower said, I get it. But it just doesn't work. It looks pregnant.

So wait, let me get this straight. Every team is getting an alternate next year? If so, I'm cautiously optimistic.

[Kevin_S_Butts 2]

This news of all 31 teams getting alternate jerseys next season is quite facinating. I have to suspect that the 8 franchises getting new looks for 3rds are MTL, VGK, NJD, FLA, DAL, ARI, NSH, and DET. Unless im missing a 3rd from the pre adidas look.

I appreciate the idea behind the 25th Anniversary logo compared to the 20th, but the execution is amateurish.

 

All 31 teams getting thirds? So does this mean the Ducks are getting one on top of a new regular set? That's crazy.

Probably the Islanders too. I don’t think they’re going back to black. They’ve got a faux-fisherman jersey they’re giving out as a promotion, so that may be an option for an alternate.

I don't know.  From what I've seen on the local rinks, they sell a lot of them.

I would rather see them pull a Rangers and use the heritage jerseys, but come up with a crest or shield that incorporates the =O= and have that he the official primary logo.

These are great, but the inconsistency between the jersey/sock stripes and the pant stripes really bothers me. They should either have the striping match the jerseys, or just use solid black shells.

It’s like they saw the Rangers use their shield logo as a 0 and said “We can do something like that!” 

[tohasbo 395]

Huh, so all teams?

Last I had heard it was going to be 18-26 teams getting thirds with the thirds being a  mix of new looks, previously used alternates or a throwback style.  If it is, in fact, all 31 teams getting a third, it will be very interesting to see what happens.  I would be all for the Jets bringing back the iconic Winnipeg Jets look.

I like the Jets' 70s/80s and 90s looks, but either one of them really sticks out like a sore thumb if it becomes part of the regular rotation.

[Morgo 3,405]

The Jets should leave their unremarkable 80's and 90's looks in the past.  They've got a great identity and a light blue alternate would make it even better.

[BJ Sands 3,365]

If they must have one, this should be the Blackhawks alternate.
