Agreed, it made sense back when they were using the Rbk jerseys but they nailed these so much there's no question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collar should be solid silver and the road needs some blue trim and then the Avs would have a perfect set. I honestly hate seeing the Avs in white, because it’s so mismatched. Their a burgundy, silver, and black team on the road, and yet they have a big blue stripe on the sock. So close yet so far... I'm all about matching stripes as much as anyone else, but the blue stripe ties the updated look to the originals. I like it Better than I would with the socks being White/Silver/Burgundy. I cant explain it. Maybe because its the only white socks the Avs have ever had with a full-time set and Ive always followed them. The burgundy socks are the same way for me. They didnt match with the original set, but now they do and Im fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure every team in the league does their own skills competition.

That works for MLB because you can fit multiple colors into the MLB logo. With the NHL logo, you have only two; orange/silver and black. For some teams, like Toronto or Detroit, that's fine. For teams like, say, Anaheim or Florida, that use more then just two colors on their jerseys, not so much. The MLB logo only contains 2 colours, and the teams manage to make it work. Pretty easy to just pick your 2 most prominent colours (i.e. the Diamondbacks use brick red & black). Besides, the NHL crest has multiple outlines, so I don't see why you'd have to limit teams to 2 colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best Oilers uniform, ever. If that's their best--I'd hate to see their worst. this uni is hard on my eyes--the ones with copper i liked , their third now is nice--these look tacky, the colours don't work & it hurts my eyes (& looks very dated at best) But maybe that's just my opinion.

I never understood the 'hard on my eyes' argument that the Oilers royal/orange combos seem to bring up. Maybe my eyes aren't as sensitive to shades of orange as every one else's. But, it's a deep royal blue and a muted orange, nothing eye-searing about either of those colors. If anything, the current shade of orange they use is hard on the eyes.

The blue, silver, and burgundy is a perfect combination and the black looks fine. The issue with the Avs set, as previously noted, is that there is extremely little blue on the away jerseys. They switch from burgundy/blue/grey/black/white to white/burgundy/grey/black. Two small changes, but both would be major improvements, would be to change the grey striping on the away jersey to blue and then to switch the grey outlines on the numbers and captain's letters. The A on MacKinnon's jersey in the quoted post looks like a blob and then you can barely even see the outline of the numbers on either jersey. They use a blue outline on the burgundy arms for the away jersey, so why not on the burgundy of the homes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tohasbo Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 With the NHL ASG captains announced a couple of days ago, looks like we will see division related logos yet again. It's been nice to see division logos made, even if it is all the same style, just colours being swapped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 The slate numbers look good but they should still add the blue stripe to the mountain range pattern. The new homes look great because the striping finally matches the socks. Do that for the roads, add the slate numbers and you have a perfectly balanced uniform.

They'd make nice shoulder patches on the jerseys.

There's a sophistication and subtlety about this colour scheme that their main look lacks... ...It unfortunately gets lost when you see them on the ice, even at a small distance.

Blur your eyes just a little bit and the jerseys look practically monochromatic. It's because they use grey. The white trim that separates the dark navy and burgundy on their 3rds is a high contrast mix. I personally feel like the burgundy and 'steel blue' is not that much better or worse than navy and burgundy because of the use of grey which I think muddies up their regular jerseys. At least they don't have the balance right - I'm sure there's still a place for grey, I just prefer there to be a stronger separation between the two relatively darkish colours.
