dannykraft Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 For these rumored outdoor games, I'm thinking they're going to wear the retro reverse. Both of those teams clash with each other and I don't think there is enough time to create new uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.C.D Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Is there a chance in the future we get re-reverse retro? A reverse of an already reversed retro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philly97flyer Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Reverse retro would work for the Avs-Knights game (white vs red) but I don’t think they could pull off orange vs yellow in the Flyers-Bruins game, especially if both uniforms have black helmets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgiliath-Guard Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The Avs-Knights will look sharp, but yeah, Flyers-Bruins would be brutal to watch. Any word on when full unis will be unveiled? Also, are any more alternates going to be released before puck drop on the 13th?

Osgiliath-Guard Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Does it really matter if the helmets are the same colour anymore? I would think the majority of the uniform needs to be different enough (i.e. no Chicago v Ottawa RR) but the helmets aren't that big of a deal, especially since no one identifies the team primarily by the helmet anyways.

The refs do, and that's the biggest thing. When you have a bunch of guys in a scrum, helmet colours are one of the primary identifiers.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Cause EA regularly messed things up, they can't be considered reliable for those kinda things. Either way, Pittsburgh could just wear their white helmets for that one game, I see this as a non-issue 2 hours ago, youcan'tseeme said: They could go yellow helmets for a game, might be enough to distinguish them apart?

The example you cited is from 2019, so when did it take effect? Probably should have worded it different. I'm not sure exactly if it was mandated, but I know I saw it talked about that the league did everything to avoid teams doing that. It might just be relating to the fact that, unless it's league approved, one team has be in white. I'm guessing they let it slide in 2019 because it was a marque event and the giant logos helped to differentiate the two teams. 1 hour ago, youcan'tseeme said: Which as we've seen before (with Pooh Bear) would look awful with black pants and full yellow sweater/sock combo.

mcj882000 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Since I missed the Avalanche talk due to the holidays and getting my laptop re-setup, I'll say that I think the blue gear looks great with the home but awful with the away. Something about the colour balance on the road, I guess because the white jersey had and still has basically no blue at all, just does not work for me.
