Mr. Krabs Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 As I always ask this time of year, is there any word of which teams will use their alternate uniforms in the postseason? I'm guessing the Canes will use theirs for a fourth consecutive year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vegas makes it, I could see them using their gold jersey for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The darker red and royal blue doesn't have as strong of a contrast as the classic lighter red. Also, the Canadiens need to go back to the single red outline around their blue font on their whites. There was no need to update on of the most timeless uniforms in pro sports history. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a darker red and blue since the 1999-2000 season, yeah. Using TruColor, the current shade of red has a hex value of #A6192E and the previous has a value of #C8102E. Same with the blue; since 1999-2000, it's been #001E62 when the previous was #003087. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Gretzky isn't walking through that door. I'm sorry, but the pylon orange jerseys are absolutely not the best uniforms the Oilers have ever worn; that's a take ripe for the Unpopular Opinions thread. The only time that those colors worked has been on the alternate, and that set is still pretty damn mediocre, all things considered; meanwhile, the home jersey looks like someone barfed Dayglo all over the team's jersey and the road looks more black than blue with how damn dark the navy is. There are teams in the NHL, like Seattle or Columbus, that pull off navy blue very, very well. The Oilers are not one of those teams; they should've just kept their look the same like other teams did in the transition from the Reebok template to the Adidas one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 If you ask me, the Oilers need to dump navy and embrace orange as the main color. This would easily be one of the best jersey sets in the league. Just tweak the home jersey to match the three-stripe pattern we've gotten used to over the years and it's perfect. 11 2 "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

spartacat_12 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The orange jerseys with navy trim look 100x better than the orange jerseys with royal. However, the royal blue set looks better than the navy. They should just go back to the royal set, but I'd like to see them keep the single outline numbers. I was never a fan of the thin blue outline between the orange & white. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no need to update on of the most timeless uniforms in pro sports history. The double outline was absolutely necessary on the white jerseys. Blue and red never touched except on the numbers where they bled into each other and looked like crap. It was an absolutely necessary change and the updated (since '97) name and number font is also much better than the thin generic block font they used prior to that Also, I prefer the darker red because we're the only ones wearing that shade of red. Most people won't even notice that their jerseys are darker than the Red Wings or Flames unless you point it out to them so it's not like it's burgundy or anything The only thing they need to fix is the chin strap on the blue helmets lol. Make em white instead of black. That's it. Otherwise it's perfect. I wouldn't even touch the mismatching shades of blue on the pants and jerseys.

Lighter shade of red looks a lot better with royal blue helmets and pants. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me thinks an orange jersey plus orange breezers would take some additional blue to avoid being gaudy. Or maybe they go blue jersey with plenty of orange trim to still feel like an "orange" team. Maybe unpopular, but I don't particularly care if they go royal or navy. I don't think they've ever had a bad color scheme: even the navy, copper, and red looked good. IMO their only bad jersey ever is the one with no white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be completely honest, TB using blue and white without a million little black outlines has been a refreshing color change, compared to their previously stale templates of black and blue where the blue got muddied. However, Tampa Bay needs some black, to set them apart from playing Maple Leafs dressup. Keep the jerseys intact, but change the pants/helmets to black. They use black on their number and pant bolt outlines. The current TB look is one or two tweaks away from being spot on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
