GriffinM6 1,465 Posted February 21 Watching the Lightning and Hurricanes game right now, and I never realized this, but Carolina really needs some pants stripes. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwing64 1,711 Posted February 21 I think the Whalers Reverse Retro jersey is OK on its own, but something about the full on-ice look feels off. Probably not helped by being paired against Chicago's white instead of their red or black jerseys. Or maybe grey and green is a weird combination to begin with. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fouhy12 1,404 Posted February 21 Bruins-Flyers tomorrow is going to be orange vs yellow with both teams in black helmets and pants. This is going to be interesting. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M4One 1,440 Posted February 21 More I think about it, Carolina should have went with either a blue version of the Whalers' jersey they have been wearing the past season or gone with a Whalers' jersey in red/black/silver. Either one would look a whole lot better than what they ended up with. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Froob 1,421 Posted February 21 Are Bruins only wearing reverse retro once? That’d be incredibly disappointing. Dump the current alts and make RR the new alt going forward. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Froob 1,421 Posted February 21 Might be a silly suggestion, but with how tame the Flyers jerseys usually are, would anybody else love to see Gritty added to the shoulders of one of the alts, like this one? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've thought about it before, I think it might work but I would wait, don't get me wrong I love gritty but he's only been around 3 years. I think you need to wait a bit longer 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They seem to be afraid of wearing yellow. Since 06, they've had the yellow Winter Classic jersey which got worn a handful of times and this year's reverse retro. In that span, they've had 3 different black alternates, one of which was a WC jersey that got upgraded to alternate status. The gold WC jersey never got that even though it was loved by fans. I've always wanted them to bring back this gold jersey from the 40's as an alternate. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's with people and that dumb mascot? I must be getting old and jaded cause I don't find it even remotely funny or amusing. No, they don't need a mascot shoulder patch, what those jerseys need is orange numbers to fill in the outlines. And a black nameplate. And regular sized sleeve numbers 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm probably in the minority here but I don't mind gradients either I'm in the minority but I LOVE these. Although I loved the originals back in the day too. One thing I haven't seen mentioned is how much better the Canucks look back in traditional outlined block font versus the weak agency font they've been using since the return to blue/green. Still hate that font would love to see them scrap it. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm okay with switching things up a bit for a Habs alternate, longs the two home and road jerseys remain intact. But at the same time, I agree that blue is not the Habs color, even though aethetically it does look pretty good. But with the horrendous record in those jerseys, it's another reason why I don't think they'll last. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digby 6,916 Posted February 22 I absolutely love the Bruins in gold. But kinda wish they wouldn’t only wear it against the Flyers. A little tough to watch vs. white OR orange. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYRFan 125 Posted February 22 Three random thoughts: 1. I agree with some recent posters; the B's look great in yellow, and it should be a regular part of their uniform rotation. 2. Just from watching highlights and perusing social media, it seems like Edmonton is rocking that navy alt a lot, particularly in matchups against the Flames and significant Saturday games. Am I reading too much into this, thinking that the team may be trying to showcase this jersey and might become a navy-dominant team soon? For me, this is a miscalculation. They need to strip it down and start over. 3. I'm surprised how well the orange v. yellow matchup looks on NBCSN at the moment. Count me amongst the few who prefer the home and away "softer" orange to this red-orange (this seems to be a minority opinion) for the Flyers, but this darker orange does play better against the yellow, in terms of contrast. Solid game to look at, and those bothersome white cuffs aren't really noticeable for the B's. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fouhy12 1,404 Posted February 22 The contrast here is way better than expected. What a beautiful game. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
