CLEstones Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 If it's part of the teams heritage, brand, or nickname and color pallet, then go for it. If it's not, subtly is best and less is more. I think the "OMG WE GOTTA DO EVERYTHING!!!!!!!" is disingenuous and ends up having the opposite affect as what was intended. So when a team with purple and white as their main colors all of a sudden goes all R/W/B... it's just a turn off. But if that same purple and white team adds an American Flag patch or an Armed Forces sticker... I think that does far more than the over-the-top approach.

The Missouri seal in on the helmet, the name of a fallen soldier on the back. This struck me as very classy. Subtle but poignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I always wondered the purpose of that out of place blue flag on the Flames uni. Was it just a finger to Edmonton saying "We're Alberta's Team!" I've grown to accept it as being part of the furniture. It doesn't really bother me. Still weird. And despite incorporating black in one way or another for 24 years, it still doesn't properly fit as a part of the the Calgary Flames identity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not well-versed on a lot of other nations, but I can't recall seeing a Canadian team effectively wearing a Canadian flag uniform (although the maple leaf is common). Does the UK have teams wearing patriotic Union Jack uniforms?
