Walter Sobchak Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 None of those teams use yellow in their color schemes so why does it matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The actual uniform is bad, but I think the Flames had the right idea with their 90s uniforms Fix the striping and put an outline on the shoulders and you have a great uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Notice how you don't need shoulder patches. I wish the Canucks would drop their addiction to putting logos on everything/everywhere they are able to. Less is more. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

The Canucks have no more logos on their uniforms than any other team, hell some teams have multiple helmet logos. Most jerseys look bare without shoulder patches and the Canucks are no different, the stick in rink looks great on the shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logo+wordmark+different logo on helmet+shoulder patches is okay sometimes, but it looks too busy for the Canucks, especially when you add in the dumb white half collar as well. Just as mess. Pretty soon we're going to have sponsor logos to contend with as well...look forward to that. Look at Detroit. Pure and classy. Don't see many people at all complaining about their look.

Chicago was rated #1 in the NHL's 25 all-time best uniforms as voted by fans. They have had the yellow C with the crossed stone hammers shoulder patch for decades. Originally, the C logo used to be on their arm stripes, which likely inspired the white V's on the Canucks' original timeless sweater. Therefore, the Blackhawks are the pioneers of secondary logos, followed by the Bruins' growling bear shoulder patch in the mid-late 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary's red and yellow-gold look is timeless and distinctive. The Flames became the NHL's second all-red team after Detroit when Atlanta first joined the league in '72. Their uniform match-ups vs other clubs looked great on TV and would look great in HD. Time to promote them to full-time and relegate black to alternate status.

ldconcepts Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 I think the idea Calgary uniform has no black, but has a darker red for better contrast.

That’s an issue with the Canucks logo itself, not that they have shoulder patches. Detroit has been around so long the uniform will never be changed, despite how bare it is. It’s got the same thing going on as the Oakland Raiders or NY Giants where it has so little detail it reminds you of a practice jersey. If you have a particularly intricate design you can have no shoulders but if you have simplistic striping like the Canucks a shoulder patch only helps.

monkeypower Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I'd say shoulder patches are a big part of a jersey. I think shoulder patches greatly improve a jersey, provided the team has a good enough alternate logo to use and they put it on both shoulders. What's the reasoning again for Nashville only having the shoulder patch on one shoulder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I like the Flames' original threads and I like the Flames 04 set. I'm fine if they go back to either one, though as that concept with the original striping but a touch of black might be the best way to go Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with the stick in rink on the primaries is that it looks so damn big. Maybe it's just me, but have shoulder logos gotten bigger over the years? The Canucks should drop the Johnny Canuck/V hybrid on their previous alternate if that's coming back as I'm no fan of that logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I think the Flames could just redistribute the hierarchy of their colors to have something very similar to past looks but cleaner and new. I made this concept not too long ago keeps black in in the rotation but drops it to a tertiary color along with the gold. I feel these cover a lot of the things people want for the flames.
