The blue brings out the mountain in the logo, and the red stripes work well with the red outline of the logo. EDIT: Here is the back. I think history is clouding people's opinion. The jerseys aren't over-designed. There's no terrible piping or contrasting nameplates. It's a simple, classic look that people lauded for the Kraken just a few months ago. They don't look like practice jerseys, and there's no gaudy colours. They're not the Edmonton Oil Kings. 8 Quote On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.

DTConcepts Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Yeah, the jersey design is nice in a vacuum, but considering the rivalry between Portland and Seattle, it's a pretty confusing choice to rebrand as carbon copies of the Kraken. I don't think anybody's trashing the jerseys as much as they are the decision making behind the jerseys. 4 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

B-mer Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I like the Winterhawks jerseys a lot, but I recognize the oddity of it with Seattle. The extra detail on the back numbers is pretty cool and doesn’t look tacky. I really thought they were navy in the video but black and the other colors look great together.

Chromatic Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I think the Kraken similarities are understandable. I don't think it's a good idea, but I understand what they're going for. The Kraken caught the attention of a lot of people in the American parts of the Pacific Northwest towards hockey, and they're trying to capitalize on it. It makes sense if they're rebranding that they'd want to start aping the "local" team as opposed to playing Chicago dressup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Couple Jr. A changes I've come across. The Calgary Canucks switched from the blue and green they've used since they started in the '70s to red and yellow, making it so they look like the Flames and not Vancouver. There's also this colour flipped version which doesn't look good at all. The Whitecourt Wolverines also made a change, old on top and new on bottom. And the Melville Millionaires dropped red. I don't know if I like the blue dollar sign on the blue jersey, especially since they use a white dollar sign in the blue shoulder patch.

(Ironically, their predecessors, the Stoney Creek Warriors, wore these exact jerseys before moving to Ancaster to become the Avalanche.)

fortunat1 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 The Maine Mariners (Bruins affiliate) cleaned up their jerseys. Nothing groundbreaking, but the sleeves and hem look better than before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing groundbreaking, but the sleeves and hem look better than before. Definitely an improvement over the last set, but the white jersey needs more green. Before I clicked the link I didn't even notice the green trim. They should have just matched the striping to the green jersey (blue, white, green, white, blue). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fortunat1 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 New black alt for the Atlanta Gladiators. They are going to be the Coyotes affiliate this season, so the design choice is interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 They were the Sens' ECHL affiliate last season, so they're a year late on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchey13 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Man it's funny that their joke lines in the video are accurate. That looks like they paid the owners nephew who just learned inkscape a month ago to try and trace over the existing logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Always been one of my least favorite brands in major-junior. Halifax is an interesting little port city; "Mooseheads" sounds generically Canadian-as-Other in like a low-grade-screenwriting way, like they're the bad guys from Canada in a kids' movie or something. I feel like they deserve better. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
