We found them easy, too. Not everyone sees it the same way, unfortunately.

Don’t you hate when a client advocates against good taste?

I used to get pretty salty about it, but the older I get, the more I realize that the job is equal parts artistic talent and convincing the client that your concept and vision are worth pursuing. If you can’t convince the client that the good ideas are good, it usually means you could have done a better job, too; can’t put it all on the client.

 

Sometimes you just have to make the best out of a tough situation and move on.

And hey, you always get a chance to reuse your ideas on another project.

There's something in my mind that tells me how strict the regulations on displaying ads are. I know it's pure greed, but how far are you going to enforce those rules.

 

The lot of you would say, 'Make it Illegal'. For obvious reasons.

The majority of the hockey fandom don't want ads on jerseys. Would it a change a little if the league has strict rules on how to show one?

 

The second part is the obvious answer.

You have made forgotten of the Hornets court 2006. That was the season of the addition of toning inside the arch. The hexagon should be of more size. Thanks for your my apologies.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, the Ducks haven't put out a full body model of the Reverse Retro yet, but according to the EA NHL graphics, they're going with the dark Mighty Ducks socks and not the whites, which seems interesting.

 

They wore those socks with the original Wild Wing jerseys, which were dark, so I don't know why they didn't go with the white socks to match the white of the jerseys and to complete the full Reverse Retro of the set.

I saw that as well. Wouldn't put too much stock in what EA does uniform wise.

You mean patches in team colors? Still garbage, no thanks. How about no ads at all on the players?

Wouldn't be the first lazy mistake EA sports makes. Isn't there a whole thread dedicated to their inaccuracies on this very forum? lol

Interested to see how this looks across the league.  Hopefully nothing too gaudy but sponsors aren’t gonna want to have their logos blend in...

"Raise $15 million," what, like they're selling wrapping paper and fudge?

I'm holding out for the first-annual NHL fudge recipe cookbook.

Did a mockup of a sponsor logo on the helmet. I hate it but don't think it will be too noticeable while watching a game. No idea on the placement but since the NHL requires the jersey number up front, I doubt they place it there.

Yeah thankfully players are never shown in closeup during games

Oh no, you might see a glimpse of an ad for like 4-5 seconds before a replay, how horrible and sacrilegious /s

 

The fact is the NHL has to recoup the loss of gate and the financial hit from the pandemic somehow. This is just the way they want to do it; and if keeping the league's finances healthy means an ad on the helmet, I don't really see the big problem here. And really, it's not like helmet logos have ever made or broken a uniform design, either.
