Sport 14,573 Posted March 3 The Red Wings looked like they wanted to do "What if Red Wings in SPACE????'", but chickened out halfway and wound up with whatever this is. Took me a half period to notice that they weren't wearing their usual white striped pants until I saw that Jonathan Bernier was wearing his regular pants. During the game Jody Shelley asked Jeff Rimer if the uniforms reminded him of anything and Rimer said "I was gonna say practice jerseys". Shelly said they looked like Ohio State uniforms and then that's all I could see for the rest of the game. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And when you're reminding people of your state's mortal college rival, that's probably not a smart move. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spartacat_12 1,510 Posted March 3 It's great seeing even casual fans trashing the Red Wings RR. Reactions like this will hopefully cause teams to put more effort into jersey design in the future. They could've salvaged it by changing the silver stripes to red & using this logo instead: 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what they should have went with.

charger77 1,814 Posted March 3 Hell they could have flip flopped red and white on either of these: http://www.nhluniforms.com/RedWings/SpecialImages/RedWings01.png http://www.nhluniforms.com/RedWings/SpecialImages/RedWings03.png Not sure why the images aren't posting, sorry. Hell, I kept the same jersey, scrapped the silver, used an old logo and early 80s number font. Took me more time to upload to photobucket than to design it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayne 1,123 Posted March 3 7 hours ago, WSU151 said: Nordiques Whalers Oilers Rangers (except for the collar) Islanders Capitals Sabres Panthers Lightning Coyotes Canucks Flames Senators Canadiens Red Wings (color swap x 2 of home red jerseys) Blue Jackets (change in shoulder patch) Predators (change in shoulder patch) Kings Ducks Sharks Devils Penguins (change in shoulder patch) Flyers et al These were all color swaps from the original jersey. Seriously...take another look at them Whalers - I thought there were distinct differences in the design, but whatever maybe I'm wrong. Sabres - I think there are differences in this one, maybe not. Panthers - Totally unique striping design, don't know what youre talking about. Blue Jackets - totally new design, striping template has no basis in their history Predators - I'm pretty sure this design has taken liberties in how faithful it is to the original. Sharks - Again, it's a unique template design Devils - I don't recall ever seeing that many hem stripes on any of their uniforms Flyers - I think the template is a bit different to anything they've used before, but ok it's probably fairly close. So there are at least half a dozen, maybe more examples 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ark 2,882 Posted March 4 The Red Wings Reverse Retro is the most practice jersey-looking jersey ever. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost non of these were simply a strict colour swap job. 3 hours ago, Bayne said: Whalers - I thought there were distinct differences in the design, but whatever maybe I'm wrong.

So there are at least half a dozen, maybe more examples The first two posts of yours here are just confusing...."They feel really cheap but there's clear evidence of creative choices..." The second and third post see you claim that "almost non are colour swaps" then "at least half a dozen are not" color swaps (out of 31) but there are only 1 or 2 in your own list that aren't color swaps...so it's not even half a dozen... You're all over the place. How can you not recall seeing the Devils with "that many hem stripes"? The Sharks have a unique template design? The RR is the modern adidas template, but the design is 99% similar to the 90s unis. The Panthers have a "totally unique striping design"? I mean the RR changed up the color order...but the striping design looks really familiar. The point of the RRs was to use old jerseys as inspiration and switch up the colors. That's why each of them have a " '96" on the inside collar or whatever. Some aren't great, but we've talked about that. IMO, the RR program is overwhelmingly a success. 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigBubba 788 Posted March 4 Haven't really followed this thread--and major changes announced/rumoured for next season? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd expect the Coyotes to bring back the white Kachina and go with the throwbacks full time. Beyond that, I don't see any other teams making major changes to their home/away looks. I'm not sure what the plan is with the reverse retros. I hope they don't go the NBA route and force every team to come up with a new RR design every season. There are definitely some teams that will want to bring back this year's as a full-time alternate (Panthers, Yotes, Capitals). 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm wondering if we see a mostly status-quo year due to COVID and teams wanting to give their new unis from this shortened season another look? I'm sure there were intended matchups that didn't get to happen due to the temporary realignment. But that's just my conjecture. I feel like I haven't seen or heard any movement or rumors for the upcoming October season. Believe in MLB, no new uniforms are being introduced this season... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
