monkeypower Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I've always viewed the NOB and the numbers as different entities. Sure, it's cool when the NOB and the numbers follow the same outlining, but for a lot, it just doesn't work and I don't think has to for legibility's sake. As long as the NOB isn't some sort of huge deviation from the number font, I think it's fine if it's a simple single-outline or a basic one colour non-outline thing. My caveat being that if a team is going to go with a different NOB colour than what is used as the number colour on the dark jerseys, as the old Flames, the only acceptable colour for that is white. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Chicago would look a lot better with a white outline between the red and black on their numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, sorry. The white spacing on Montreal's away number font is bad enough. Thank goodness Edmonton got rid of theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I've never seen a doule-outline NOB that look good - especially with longer names. My "rule" (or "the way I'd try it first and evaluate before trying other ways") is that if you have an outline on your number and a single-color NOB, the NOB should be the color of the outline, since otherwise it looks like they just forgot the outline. Here's an example. Had they gone with red to match the number, it would have looked like they just forgot the navy outline. Admittedly it works better when the number is a lighter color than the outline, but that's my preference. 14 "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

I don't have a problem with teams like St. Louis using 2 outlines that stand out from the jersey. The NOB should be kept simple though. I don't mind a single outline if it matches the numbers (Calgary, NYI, Washington, etc.), but double outline's just turn into a mess. On Dallas's old set you could barely read the name unless you got a super close-up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Back to some actual uniform news for this season, Minnesota has just released a teaser for their upcoming Winter Classic jerseys. Looks like I was wrong when I assumed it would be a green version of their reverse retro: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Are you sure that's for the Winter Classic? Not that that doesn't make sense, but the social media posts didn't say that. I hope you're right that it's for the Classic, though. They finally settled on mostly red/green with minimal (whatever that is; tan/wheat/gold) and I don't want a full-time third jersey to go backwards.

CreamSoda Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I think the white outline helps Chicago but its also not as drastic as I first imagined. I think both sets looks good: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the other opinion is that it’s the numbers. Considering Michael Russo said that it’s a green jersey, I’m going to say this is part of a chest stripe. Maybe one that would go, Cream-Red-Cream-Red-Cream with the center stripe being the thickest.

What makes you say that? One of my enduring criticisms of the current home jerseys is that the color balance is that red is relegated to a distant tertiary trim color instead of being a secondary color. The Wild color hierarchy should be GREEN-RED-wheat, not GREEN-WHEAT-red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild color hierarchy should be GREEN-RED-wheat, not GREEN-WHEAT-red. I disagree, based solely on personal preference. I can't stand the red-green combo for some reason. Having red relegated to a tertiary color has made it far more palatable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That material for the wheat is the same as the rest of the jersey and doesn’t appear to be the tackle twill jersey crests are made of. Also if it was a roundel I feel we would be able to see something else like the edge of so lettering or an outline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well when the AdiZero system was introduced the crests all had the jersey material as the base for most of the logo. So this could just be the edge of the logo. What is weird tho, is that most logos outer edge was tackle twill, and the inside was the jersey material. So this is definitely a puzzling teaser.

M4One Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Could the Wild teaser be an update on their home jersey instead of an alternate or the winter classic? The stripe pattern is similar to their current home. Wouldn't make sense to have an alternate or the WC jersey have the same pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
