I hated that and I felt it would have been unfortunate if they went to the finals wearing those. Even earlier than that, the Ducks quietly swapped the thirds with the homes around the midpoint of that season. So they were effectively wearing their "home" uniforms for the playoffs. Thanks, Burke.

This was: However, to the broader point, the Penguins did wear those sweaters at least once in that series. So there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 It seems like the Flyers wear the terrible black alternate uniform every home game. I have a bad feeling that the black uniforms will become the standard home look just like they were in the early 2000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krabs Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 And how about the Canucks in 2007. Were they ever punished for swapping sets in the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well first off, was that rule even on the books back then and is it even a rule, or just a guideline/direction? Secondly, what kind of punishment would you see fit?

B-mer Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I really liked those Ducks alternates. Still do. i still always wanted them to make a traditional update to the wild wing jersey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those are the second best look they had--minus the flaming snot bald horse. Comic Sans walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve your type here."

I'm not sure how unpopular that is, because it seems like people love that set for some reason. I never really liked it at all, but I do think that the white/home that you posted is far and away the best of that set. Here's a my unpopular opinion: I actually prefer the diagonal stripes mid-90's Flames jersey over this one. Their "original" is still my favorite of theirs, though.

monkeypower Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I feel like the conference logos aren't used all that much anymore, so I thought it was weird seeing it in the Flames graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCree Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Those Conference logos got outdated when they updated the Stanley Cup logo in 2008, 2 years after they were introduced. How they’ve managed to hang around for over a decade is beyond me. The 3 stars on both the Conference and SC Final logo don’t even make sense anymore since they reformatted to 2 divisions.
