I think this is severely harmed by being a horrible Fanatics replica.

 

I suspect the actual jersey and uniform will look really nice.

 

I wish it had more gold though.

 

It's also a women's jersey cut.

I think the key to having a diagonal script jersey is using the right amount of characters. "RANGERS" being 7 letters is probably the perfect amount. It's not too crowded and has a natural middle being that it's an odd number of letters. It's why the Minnesota ASG uniforms above work so well too. In my opinion, "PITTSBURGH" is way too many letters to pull off properly and there seems to be too little going on with the "WALES" jersey pictured above as well. In the case of the Hurricanes, other than the fact that it's dumb to use a shortened nickname on a uniform, I think the letters are too big to work properly since it's 5 characters.

Yeah, I think the DHGate leak is probably the closest to what we'll actually see.

Calgary Flames recently changed their Twitter picture to the retro logo and are hinting at an October 5th announcement for returning to retro full time

 

They should have done that back in 2011 or 2012, when they first introduced the retro jersey. I know plenty of people want to defend the Flames using black (heck, I think it could work as subtle trim to separate white and yellow), but I think this baby needs to leave with the bathwater it's in.

I really like the new kachina pattern the Arizona Coyotes use in the hanger effect of their current jerseys.

 

I've been thinking that something along those lines could make for a really nice striping pattern, instead of straight up using the dated 90s retros.

I did something similar a couple years ago (see spoiler) though I really think the best move at this point is to either go all-in Kachina or to mix Kachina stripes with their current identity.

On another note, looks like the Flames are unveiling new jerseys October 5th. Using a darker red in their profile too, which would be a nice surprise, though I feel like that's unlikely.

Sad logo aside, I do also find it kind of disappointing that Ottawa essentially chose to use the same striping as the Laffs with red and black in lieu of blue and white

 

The perfect template is already there.

Restore the updated 2D logo on it (and a new Peace Tower patch), use the current block font, and you're set. Heck, Binghamton showed that the pattern worked well on white/reduced in size!

Either go full Roman (as seen here) or full Silver Seven (like the old alternates). Trying to have both doesn't work for me.

I do not like that the hem stripe has been moved all the way to the bottom unlike the original, but I never thought about the comparisons to the Leafs until you pointed it out.

NHL 21 has a new trailer (posted Sep 18) that continues to show the current unis with a new number font...so while I'm expecting both retros to be announced, this continued preview of current unis with new font is interesting.

 

Also, there's some quick footage of the Sabres blue jerseys in the trailer, and they look great.

 

 

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

It’s EA, they’ve had history of making inaccurate uniforms, especially before they update them.

But the style of the Flames jerseys in the trailer aren’t new...just the font...
