Sodboy13 5,355 Posted October 5 I shouldn't be amazed at this point, but man, the Senators have botched it in a multitude of ways yet again. And boy, those sleeve stripes continue to look low, which means we're probably getting the numbers above them this time. It'll be better than what they had for 13 seasons, but it still will not be good. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorJake 59 Posted October 6 It looks weird, but I feel like the black cuffs were never that great to begin with. The nostalgic in me is kinda bummed, but the obsessive-compulsive in me is kinda glad that the colour layout for the home & away is more traditional now, if that makes any sense. You no longer have this weird home & away combo where one jersey is all black, while the other one has these very black sleeves for no particular reason. Those black cuffs always made the white jersey feel like that very 90's look where dudes would wear a t-shirt over their long sleeved shirts. Curious to see how it looks in action. Guessing it'll pretty much look like the NJ devils, which is kind of a bummer. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stripes on Fanatics’ Kings throwbacks are more forearm height than elbow. I have a weird suspicion that since the S patch will be closer to the collar, the numbers will be above the sleeve stripes. Hope I’m wrong. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_DietDrPepper_ 3,997 Posted October 6 Didn't like the original, don't like this one. The logo is pretty awful as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSmith48 544 Posted October 6 Ugh, the Senators had a chance to become a fantastic team, and they have that potential. So disappointing to see such a half-baked attempt at a throwback. I don't know how they botched it this bad... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never been a fan of black cuffs and the black hem-stripe was redundant against the black breezers anyways. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Botching what should be slam dunks is the Sens' modus operandi. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorJake 59 Posted October 6 All in all it is a disappointment, but I feel more betrayed by the lack of proper hemstriping than by the sleeves on the white jersey. Also, I thought the shoulder patch was going to be wingless, which IMO would've been a nice touch. Disappointed by that as well. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SenatorJake 59 Posted October 6 That being said, so long to those 2008-ass jerseys from seasons past, and good riddance! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A 4-inch band of contrasting color at the bottom of the jersey doesn’t qualify as a “proper hem stripe” anymore? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridleylash 3,391 Posted October 6 I think the thing that irks me is that they had the easy option of just going to the mid-late 90's set and changing some details to make it feel fresh, but instead chose to frankenstein together a weird, historically non-existent white jersey when they're explicitly baiting out nostalgia. Hell, Calgary's literally doing pretty much the exact thing the Sens seem to have chickened out of; going full-hog throwback. Surely that would've been a simpler route for Ottawa than making weird changes to the white jersey. If the NOB font and logos are different from that original set, what exactly would make it so fans wouldn't want to buy it? Aside from Melnyk, anyways. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you’re going to tinker, at least make it better. I don’t understand what there is to gain from a lateral move here. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WSU151 9,199 Posted October 6 Ottawa releasing these exclusively on a local news network that no one outside of Ottawa can see, instead of social media or the team's website, is pretty peak Senators. They advertise a 6pm unveiling...then post this at 6:03pm for some unknown reason...just f'ing unveil them already... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridleylash 3,391 Posted October 6 Hm. Seems the O is entirely gone from the branding; would've thought they'd keep it around in some form as a pant logo or something. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TorinK92 314 Posted October 6 Pretty great that because I don't have cable there's no way I can watch the reveal. Instead this is from the mayors twitter account, numbers inside the arm striping confirmed. Edit: other jersey in better quality I don't hate the road sweater as much as I did yesterday, hope it grows on me more. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's peak Senators right there; lock a jersey reveal behind something more and more people are cutting. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
