You’re a fool if you believe that. What will really happen is they will wait a few years and add ads to the jerseys and hope no one remembered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to prevent and put a stop on the practice. Of course, it'll take a million voices for the NHL to notice, but I doubt that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I said I doubt it. I'm not that naive when it comes to these issues. Whether or not it happens depends on the higher-ups, because they lack jersey design taste and aesthetic.

IceCap Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 9 hours ago, DrAwesomeberry said: That's really the core of the issue here. If the ownership gets more money by putting a patch/sticker on the uniform, and the only negative is "a percentage of the fanbase is annoyed but keeps watching regardless," why wouldn't they? And honestly, the digitally superimposed ads next to the blue lines bothered me waaaaaaay more than the helmet stickers this year. At least the stickers don't randomly start jittering around the playing surface. Because some people care about the historical identities and aesthetics of these teams- such as those who might look for a web forum dedicated to sports logos and uniforms- and they might dislike this sort of thing? Look, if you just don't care then cool. Don't care. Thing is this sort of community caters to the kind of people who do care, and so I find the "why do you care?"/"devil's advocate" position here to be just a bit odd for this place. 9 PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 It's just super tiring having the thread derailed by the same few people acting like the sky is falling because of this. We get it, nobody prefers this over what we had before but theres nothing that can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldconcepts Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Just now, officeglenn said: I was OK with this until "modernized look." That sounds like a recipe for disaster. On the one hand, I'm tired of teams bringing back older uniforms without fixing any of the weird inconsistencies of the era (see Flames and their stripe widths). On the other hand, I don't trust the Oilers whatsoever with uniform decisions. The only "modernization" of the royal blues I'd tolerate would be to keep their current number style. 5 Twitter: @ldconcepts / Instagram: @ld.concepts / Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youcan'tseeme Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Edmonton is doing their best to make up for the lack of bad uniforms in the province now that Calgary finally (mostly, why is it still a third jersey?) fixed theirs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Calgary kept the previous monstrosity around for one year to try and clear out as much inventory as possible. My guess is that it's gone next season, and they keep Blasty around as a permanent third. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
