I know they won’t since they won their cups in black and silver, but they could literally own the color purple in hockey and it would be incredible. 16 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, but right now they also own silver and black, and it seems like that's the identity Kings management wants to mark as their own. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1insaneguy 194 Posted November 16, 2020 I really like Nashville's jersey, and I'm not a fan of their yellow home jersey. I'm really hoping I'll be able to get a jersey, but it seems like they're going to be incredibly limited. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeypower 3,125 Posted November 16, 2020 I’m definitely going to get the Wild Wing at some point. The one complaint with it is that the breaking out of the ice illusion doesn’t work because it’s jade, so it looks more like water. Then the ice that Wild Wing broke that’s flying up with him is still white and not jade. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really stoked wild wing is back. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 29,095 Posted November 16, 2020 2 hours ago, Sport said: All of these, even the good ones, look like they took some kid’s concepts from the concepts board and made them into a real uniform. Who among us hasn’t at one time or another taken the Canadiens red Jersey and flipped all the colors to make a blue alternate? It’s been done on this website hundreds of times dating back to the inception of the boards. That's what happens when CCSLCers find work in the business instead of just sh-tposting all day from their stupid advertising jobs. It's a minor miracle that the Coyotes alternate doesn't have a tiny but unmistakable reference to frozen blood. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Granted, I'd have gone for the classics. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corvus 386 Posted November 16, 2020 Some general thoughts... If we're reversing retro, are we actually going... to the future? Turning ahead the clock if you will. Eh, maybe not. Buffalo looks great. Shows that changing the colour scheme was never really necessary way back when. Generally Boring Category: Detroit, NYI, NYR, Ottawa. A lot of these have that practice jersey vibe going on. Carolina, the silver Whalers look is gross Colorado, sharp jersey but kind of hard for the Nordiques crowd to see I think "Ze Goggles Zey Do Nothing" Award: Columbus, St. Louis Best jerseys in the program: Colarado, Buffalo, Oilers, LA, Wild, Devils, Sharks, Tampa. As a Vancouver fan, the jersey is what we expected, and I think it will be quickly forgotten. I feel like this is a missed opportunity to do something bold like have a full green jersey. Do the millionaire's jersey in blue and green or something. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the Padres already took heavy inspiration from that war horse with the brown/yellow recolors, so it’s only fitting that Buffalo follow suit. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the admiral 29,095 Posted November 16, 2020 That was the other one I was thinking of. I pulled hair out by the handful explaining to people that you can't just take scripts that were designed to evoke the seaside and paint-bucket them into brown and gold. Then the Padres did it anyway and everyone loved it! There's no loser I won't bet on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GriffinM6 1,464 Posted November 16, 2020 I think everyone is overlooking just how terrible the Jets jersey is. It's so heavy on the charcoal and navy. Not a fan at all. I'll have to give additional thoughts on all jerseys later after work. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people in that folder preferred a straight recolor, especially of the beach script! That just doesn’t work. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Jets jersey is just boring, but when your competition is Detroit, Dallas and the Islanders all making really disappointing efforts, "boring" is hardly that much of a problem. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
