There’s something so fresh, crisp, and cold about this color scheme, and I totally think it would translate well to the home/road and logos. It evokes the concept of high altitude and snow much better than the medium blue and silver, in my opinion. Maybe it's me, but those colors look muddy when paired together. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add a hem strip and take away the black 'pit stains' and I would easily add this to my collection of Av's jerseys (FWIW that jersey was nicknames the 'blueberries' by Avs fans). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayne Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Every diagonal text jersey that isn't the Rangers just looks so ineffective to me. I don't know if it's because of the number of letters and the size that they end up being scaled to, or if it's just because I identify that look with the Rangers and any team who tries to mimic it just automatically appears inferior by comparison. Either way I don't like them. 4 I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the biggest change in that was actually the style. Baggy fitting stuff was super in back then. I remember reading an article somewhere, about an NHLer, I can’t remember who, who said they loved to copy Mike Modano with his super baggy jerseys, because they thought he just looked so cool in it. They also said that apparently Mike Modano convinced the equipment staff in Dallas, during one of his first seasons there to let him have a larger size jersey. They finally did, and that’s another reason the baggier jerseys really caught on in the NHL. I have no clue how true that is, and I’m not sure where to find a source, but I definitely think of that story when I think of the large jerseys of that era. 2 "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

mcj882000 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 If you actually believed the "helmet ads are only for one year" stuff, you're now officially a sucker. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Most teams didn't actually make any money off the helmet ads this year, they essentially allowed them to keep sponsorship revenue that would've been owed back to companies due to the shortened season/lack of fans. Starting next year they'll actually get to use it as a new revenue stream. At this point I would bet on us getting jersey ads by the end of the decade. It's a tiny sliver of a silver lining, but at least the Bell logo fits the Jets colour scheme better than Canada Life's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
