Penguins-Bruins looks better with white and black helmets than two teams of black helmets and I wouldn't want to watch Panthers v Capitals or Maple Leafs v Lightning if they featured the same color helmets and breezers. Nobody has a problem with football teams sharing helmet colors. Why is it different for hockey?

Agreed, but this was not a good look. 16 year old me had his mind blown when I saw the first Avalanche game.

"This looks like an intrasquad scrimmage" is a routine criticism of football games where teams have similar colors, helmets, and pants. Plus, football teams that have the same colors are usually differentiated by helmet stripes and logos, which aren't quite as obvious on hockey helmet decals. I mean, Mississippi State unveiled white helmets vs. Texas A&M in 2000 just so there would be some differences in the uniforms... Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 If you can have more contrast between opposing players in a fluid sport, you should. White helmets are fine with white sweaters and socks. I don't think the Blackhawks would be improved by a black helmet with their white sweater, the Habs definitely wouldn't be with a blue helmet. We talked about how each sport has its own aesthetic, and I think within that, leagues have their own as well. A dark helmet with a white sweater looks like a junior team that can't shell out for two sets of helmets. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Colored helmets with white sweaters can bring some fun color balance to some college hockey uniforms. I don't think it should become the norm in the NHL, but it would be cool to see a team or two use colored helmets on the road. Preds or Pens in yellow, Knights in gold, Stars in green. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Just a reminder that the Flames still use the Canadian flag and the Albertan flag as shoulder patches for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalktoChuck Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 If the flames are switching back to their throwbacks like we think they are, then they need to just leave the shoulders blank. If they stick with the current setup or go a new direction, then this needs to be their shoulder patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than mountains (which, even though us native Coloradans like to think we invented mountains, are very much a huge part of Calgary's culture as well) nothing says Avalanche or Colorado at all. Everything pretty clearly says Calgary Flames. They could probably come up with a more unique C+F or just C mark for the middle. But regardless, this should be the replacement for those stupid shoulder flags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That logo (and the BC flag)was the inspiration for the current shoulder patch adopted by the WHL's Kamloops Blazers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way, plastic can be recycled. I don’t believe the type of plastic used for hockey helmets is recyclable, and because they’re made of mixed materials, they’re likely not recyclable no matter what the shell is made of. Heck, most recycling centers can’t recycle the majority of the “recyclables” they receive. White helmets are fine, but the only way to reduce helmet waste is to use fewer of them, and honestly, I think that’s more important than some individual aesthetic or competitive preferences in the long run.
