AFirestormToPurify Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Sport said: The real crime of our awful Reverse Retro jerseys is that they were too chicken to put Stinger on the shoulders or the pants. Also, it deprived us of a true throwback uniform for our 20th anniversary. Instead we got some weird Capitals cosplay. I'm a little bitter about that. The green made what is an otherwise stale and overused color scheme throughout sports more interesting and set them apart from the other navy blue and red teams in sports. My favorite part was they made sure to work the green onto the gloves of every player. I love the C flag logo they've been using for nearly 18 years now and I've come around on the cannon alternates, but I do have a soft spot for those original uniforms. Agreed 100%, except for the cannon 3rds ahah. Never liked those, and the fact that they came out when half the teams in the league had a double blue fauxback jersey with a roundel logo doesn't help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only people who would want to honor Edina for something is someone from Edina. Everyone else pretty much hates Edina here in Minnesota. Just adding my cosign to the Cake Eater hate.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. 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.

ldconcepts Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Interesting that they're using their current number font on the navy helmets... either they're the stickers they already have on hand or they're thinking of doing the opposite of their gold Saturdays Twitter: @ldconcepts / Instagram: @ld.concepts / Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFirestormToPurify Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 That shade of orange looks so much better than what they usually wear. And no stupid contrasting nameplates. I'd give these a solid 8/10. The 80s/90s template was better than the 60s/70s one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These jerseys, minus the helmet ads, should be their primary jerseys, with the white and orange flipping for the away jerseys.

AFirestormToPurify Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 And they're wearing them 7 times! I thought 6 was the upper limit. Yeah I know, one of those is an outdoors game, technically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I like the Flyers' RR. The orange is darker, and the addition of black makes the jerseys heavier and meaner. I think it suits the Flyers well. I've got tired of their bright orange and white jerseys, especially with the new template how the collar area is all messed up. 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...

The Wild should be a green-red-wheat team, but this jersey is green-wheat-red (and just a few years ago they were red-green-wheat!). It's especially jarring when contrasted with the away sweaters, where green and red are properly balanced. Having the very thin red outline on the numbers also looks terrible against the green.

I always hated them, but the RRs just make them look so underdesigned and a little too trendy, like the Oilers'...poor attempt at an alternate uniform. The alts for Philly look like they were trying to a bad NHL version of the NFL's colour rush :censored:.

I think it's nicer when the Flyers jersey has an outline around the arm stripe and that the shape is adjusted so that the full number can fit inside. The orange 2007 RBK version I thought was pretty good. I do like the contrasting nameplates, though. It's a unique feature for a team with a history of using it.

The Wild look much better to me in a rich, earthy colour palette. Yellow and green is fine but it cheapens the brand IMO, and losing the wheat accent tone and replacing it with white removes some nice added heft that the current logo has, which I like.

Well in an ideal world, wheat colored helmets wouldn't look disgusting and they could get away with a wheat away jersey lol 10 minutes ago, Osgiliath-Guard said: Damn, the RRs make the alternates look SOOO bad.

The alts for Philly look like they were trying to a bad NHL version of the NFL's colour rush :censored:. I don't think they're bad, just a bit plain. It's the huge sleeve numbers, contrasting nameplates and hollow back numbers that look awful. With normal lettering, they would look decent imo. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed a Color Rush vibe to a few recent alternates. Dallas is especially guilty of it. Trying to cash in on the Cowboy's popularity I guess, so I can't really blame them but mono white just doesn't work with hockey uniforms They're gonna wear the RR more than the true alternates this year.

I get that they've done it before, but that was a looong time ago and the reason for even doing it in the first place was because they were cheap. I'm sorry, contrasting nameplates look cheap and gimmicky. Just cause it's been done before doesn't mean they had to do it again. I get that they're trying to make it "their thing" but it's just another gimmick like when Buffalo used chest numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
