SSmith48 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The other day I was watching a classic college football game wherein I saw Notre Dame wearing something I didn't know they had ever worn: Yep that's right. Gold side panels. I believe this jersey was worn for about 2 years (2001-02) from what I could research. It is also a look that doesn't look like a team with the history of Notre Dame would wear. So I started thinking about uniforms or logos that didn't (or currently) don't fit the classic/traditional image of the team. Here are some other examples I could think of: North Carolina Football adds black 2013-14: Edmonton Oilers Copper Era (1996-2011) Buffalo Sabres in Black/Red/Silver (1996-2006) Toronto Blue Jays in Black/Graphite (2004-2011) The Disney Angels (1997-2001) The Browns uniforms that no one wants to remember (2015-2019) BFBS side panel on the Lakers purple uniform (2018-pres) The double-blue Jazz (2004-2010) These are just a few examples, but I sure there's probably much more to see with this too. Looking back, time has not been kind to some of these looks. Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCalderwood Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 These days in the NBA, almost every team has at least one regularly-worn uniform that would easily fall into this category. The NBA pictures shown here thus far are actually very tame compared to much more egregious examples that could be seen in 2020 NBA on almost any court on any given night.

Obviously city uniforms can fit into this category, but I wanted to focus on uniforms within a team’s more permanent rotation (icon/association/statement) Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in an oil field would be tough, gritty work, and these colors represent that. On top of that, the shining moment for these uniforms was upsetting a bunch of teams en route to almost winning the Stanley Cup out of nowhere. No matter which uniform set you prefer for the Oilers, this one does match the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rorinator Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I think these NHL jerseys definitely stick out from the team's identity like a sore thumb I've always thought of the Panthers as a red team so when these were released it felt out of left field. These could MAYBE work for the Anaheim Ducks but it seemed a little odd for the then wacky and Disney Mighty Ducks to try to impersonate the look of an Original 6 club. And probably the most egregious BFBS NHL jersey that looks more like a Brooklyn Nets warmup jersey for the Islanders than an actual full-time alternate. It felt especially weird because at the time this was the alternate, they had recently returned their primaries back to the inagural look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree that the look as a whole is nice, but when most people think of the Oilers, they think of bright blue and orange more with the ties to Gretzky and such.

Chromatic Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I think copper and blue Oilers and the Disney Angel's fit both teams very well actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But bump the logo...that color red just came from out of nowhere on that alternate! *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
