It's more just a bit of an annoyance that you can buy different Ducks items and get a different coloured logo depending on what it is and who it's produced by. Also I took the screenshot of the mobile site by switching to the mobile site on desktop, so all those screenshots in my post were taken on desktop. It's that same colour on the mobile-mobile site and the mobile-desktop site. I don't really care about how those teams look because I'm not buying any of their merchandise. Everyone has a pet peeve. The purple on the Lakers Jersey sometimes didn't match the purple on their shorts in the past, now that would be annoying but yeah, when bigger problems come along, this will bother you less. Blind people don't have to worry about color shades or mismatched socks, but maybe one sock feeling a bit rougher than the other might bug the crap out of them more than normal. Sometimes people go years before noticing that there's a difference or inconsistency in colors, and while I'm one of those fascinated by both consistency and variations and alternate jerseys, this doesn't bother me but you do you. Like others have pointed out, metallics is hard to pull off, especially when photographed. One last thing I'll leave you with is that it appears every time NFL, MLB or NBA (and I'm sure NHL) changes their official uniform suppliers, especially from/to Nike, then tend to have to change the shade of a color, e.g., Philadelphia Eagles green, because either they can't reproduce the same shade (but others can and have) or because they do it intentionally to sell more products since new and old jerseys look different side-by-side, or maybe another reason altogether (we already have that shade of green and we don't want to spend more money matching the old shade), et cetera. It bothers me that we don't have "normal" 1975-76 American quarters, half dollars and dollar coins, but I digress. (People who buy 1975 coin sets will not have 1975 on three coins.)

Nordiks_19 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It is rumored that te Sabres's 50th anniversary uniform might be all white (Jersey,Pants and gloves included) with gold and blue stripes. Anyone heard about that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were to do a similar investigation into those teams, you’d find just as many instances of inconsistency because color matching in general is a PITA. Tell me about it. These are all supposed to be the same gold. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridleylash Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Wow, that looks like it'd just disappear on the ice. I guess a uniform that makes them utterly invisible is a perfect representation of this team since 1999, but that'll just look so unpleasant from a TV perspective.

An all white look is pretty bad, even if it's for one game. But, seeing this just made me realize that with the Sabres and Canucks 50th anniversary, they will hopefully finally be getting rid of the chest numbers. That design, if they went with normal blue pants and gloves, would be a solid look, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echo Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 The rumor going around is that the Sabres 3rd is going to feature Vegas gold rather than the athletic gold they use on their primaries. This tweet sent out by the Sabres points to that being the case: https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/1141697513436565505 Also the Sabres' website has been redesigned to feature white and Vegas gold.

Echo Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 BTW, according to one of the local radio reporters the Sabres don't want to upstage their draft pick so don't expect them to unveil the new jersey at the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Although the Sabres won't be releasing their new thirds, I'm sure we'll still get a look at a couple new jerseys at the draft tomorrow. We know the Canes are redesigning their road jersey, so perhaps they'll hand it out to their pick. Also, the Blackhawks are expected to tweak both their primary jerseys (most likely just updating the collars), the Knights are supposed to have a third in the works, and the Oilers has pretty much been leaked at this point.

WSU151 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 It's really frustrating that Fanatics doesn't put the Canadian team hats on its US site (and perhaps it's equally frustrating in the opposite).

CardsFan79 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I've been looking for the St. Louis Blues 2019 Draft Cap and can only find it online and only in Med/Lg. Unfortunately I have a small head and need Sm/Md. It's super frustrating...especially considering every online store is basically just the Fanatics site.

I did see that Kohl’s apparently has it, but dang...over $8 for shipping one hat seems a bit overboard. Usually you can get free shipping to a store and pick up there, but I didn’t see that option for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
