An orange version of the classic design being worn a couple times a season would hardly dilute the brand. The same with if the Devils had worn a traditionally striped black alternate during Lou's tenure. Not every alternate uniform has to be a Wild Wing/Burger King type of monstrosity. Between this and the no facial hair nonsense, Lou goes beyond conservativism and crosses the line into pretentiousness when it comes to his team's brands.

Roger Clemente Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Very serious question, quite possibly the most serious question ever asked on this forum... Will the Islanders Reverse Retro logo have only three stripes on the stick or four? Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orange and white are likely to be swapped. So, the striping will end up matching the road whites, where the bottom cuffs is orange and the top stripe will be white. Could have at least made them orange to spice things up a bit if they didn't want to go with the fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcan'tseeme Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Take it with a grain of salt because he said he was "pretty sure". But the boss of where I get my jersey's done says LA featured the Burger King. He was however positive that the Avs logo is recoloured in Nordiques colour, and told me the Leafs font was "out there". I was attempting to pre-pre-order a Thornton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I love this program. It's going to be ridiculous, and that is awesome. As a Canucks fan, the 2001 gradient third is kind of the most forgettable Canucks jersey aside from the home yellow skate post flying V jerseys, so I don't see it being super exciting. It seems like they aren't using silver, which is a shame, since it's still on the current Orca logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacat_12 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Icethetics has posted some great predictions based on the previews we've seen so far: I feel like the Flames & Rangers should be doing more than just a straight throwback. Maybe more white & less red in the striping for both of them. I also wouldn't mind the sharks putting the old fin logo on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No players, fans, or even owners overlap from their time in Hartford. They took the goal horn from the Hartford Civic Center, lol But in all seriousness, you're being willfully obtuse here. The Whalers/Hurricanes were run out of Michigan by Karmanos and Rutherford for years and years, there was a ton of organizational continuity between Hartford and Raleigh that only ended recently. This wasn't Marcel Aubut cashing out on the Nordiques and the Avalanche being effectively started anew (and even that's not true -- they retained a surprisingly large number of French-Canadian front office personnel). ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done more than their fair share of ugly alternates so I'm quite ok to see them stick with something that works. They might not be filling the criteria of going for something a little off-the-wall with their reverse retro, but I actually think it's going to be a nice jersey, so I don't see the problem. Navy is a good option for them. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, the Fisherman in the current colors (so sans-teal) could be nice. This IS Lou, though; the man doesn't like alternates, as seen in his tenure with the Devils.
