What teams does is everyone looking at that need the biggest changes? Here are my top 5 in no particular order: 1. Washington Capitals - They need to fix this mess. They could really have some of the best looking jerseys in the league, but the items that have been brought over from the last jersey template including the piping need to go. I don't understand what is taking so long. 2. LA Kings - This is a team with some classic looks, but they seem to refuse to acknowledge any of them. I would LOVE the purple to return, but if they insist on black and silver, they need to overhaul this entire team. Terrible logo, boring color scheme. Sad for a team that hasn't always had these issues. 3. Anaheim Ducks - Going retro is probably the answer, but this home and away set is awful. They reinvented the wheel with this set when it didn't need to be done. 4. Nashville Predators - I'm not even sure where to begin. I don't like any of it. Start over. If you want to use yellow still go for it. But balance it out. And the primary logo aged horribly. 5. Minnesota Wild - See Nashville above. Wow that’s a hot take. I know I am biased, but I was under the impression that the Wild’s logo and jerseys were some of the best in the league. What don’t you like about the Wild logo and jerseys?

I like the idea behind the logo, but there is something about the entire package that just seems to lack an identity to me. Minnesota and Nashville's logos feel like Jacksonville and Carolina in the NFL. Just a swooping head of an angry animal. Seems dated. But everything stems from the name.

Sad for a team that hasn't always had these issues. The most classic look they have is black and silver (both Gretzky years and Cup-winning teams)... Sounds like you're less concerned about a refusal of classic looks, and rather upset they don't use purple (which they never really won anything in). Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution to this conundrum is obviously what the Kings are probably doing for their Reverse Retro; Gretzky-era jerseys in the purple and gold.

Well personally, I think it’s a little different from the other angry animal heads, because the element of being angry really isn’t there. It’s more of a double play on the idea of Wild, being a forest and a bear head. I mean Nashville, and then the Jags and Panthers are definitely the angry screaming head types...

If anything the original stick and rink is the butchered version, lets be honest. You couldn't be more wrong, sorry. How is the original Stick in Rink butchered?? It's hockey stick looks precisely like an actual hockey stick, the stick isn't crooked and the overall crest can very easily be inverted. The current updated version can't be inverted to make it stand out the whites and it's stick looks very cartoony. This is a proper update: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Can I just say "cartoony" is one of the most overused terms I've seen? Just because it's not rudimentarily-made and reflective of a bygone era doesn't make it "cartoony". I'd argue the modern logo works better, anyways, because of the improved line weights. The crook makes the intended C shape more obvious while adding a little more dynamism to it. Hell, if we wanna go down that rabbit hole, Johnny is INFINITELY more "cartoony" than the modernized Stick-in-Rink. The dude was literally invented as a political cartoon, and the logos are just an angry lumberjack on skates. Let's not deride the "angry animal" trope with regards to stuff like the Orca, and simultaneously let the similarly-trite "angry dude" trope go on unscathed as if they're not basically the same darn thing, here.

Interesting. I swear I went to plenty of games and they wore the purple and gold.
