I'd rather them had a WHA Cowboys-inspired jersey than a outdated piping jersey. Replace both the shoulder logos with flaming "C" and give a "Western" font for numbers, swap the white with cream. And you now had a jersey which is a tribute to the Cowboys and the Stampede. I liked the leaked prototype logo from a few years back that included the flaming cowboy hat. Maybe they could revisit something like that for a Cowboys-inspired fauxback/RR. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most importantly the Atlanta Flames alt captain patch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already presented their new head coach with a Kachina jersey at his introduction, and we've seen plenty of marketing material using the logo. The black Kachina is actually their official home sweater since last season. Weird that it passed under the radar here.

No, Team Classics are an off-ice thing, not new alts. Adidas has been producing them for a while before this year, there's probably just some new designs being brought back in the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, I don't think the Pens will do the blue uniforms anytime soon, just because of all the bad things that happened with them last time. And you don't think the pigeon logo hasn't had Bad Stuff happen or attached to it (cough cough howard baldwin cough cough). That's why many Pittsburghers loathe that pos garbage logo. The logo itself would have been fine had baldwin waited 10 years to change it or if Lemieux had taken Ownership and then changed it...ok cool! But the logo change paired with Everything that happened to the Pens after that / during baldwins reign, not a good combination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 So from what I can gather, other than Seattle and special event uniforms, the only new jersey we’re getting next year is Arizona switching to white kachina on the road? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly that's a good thing. I don't think the league as a whole has ever looked that good. I'm not saying every team is perfect and some could use a few tweaks here and there obviously but Anaheim is the only team with a truly awful set of regular home and away jerseys imo. 1 out of 32 isn't that bad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna lie, I also included the Caps at first but I ended up deleting it before posting lol. The striping/piping is outdated crap obviously, but the color balance is nice, the number font is great and I personally like the logos, so it's definitely in the bottom 5 for me but it's not on Anaheim's level where absolutely nothing is salvageable. They just need to move on from the Edge template for something a little more traditional and keep everything else imo. Something closer to their new 3rd jersey, maybe with a couple more stars so that it doesn't look too bland or generic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 1994 was a pretty good year for NHL uniforms. The Original Six looked as good as ever, plus you had the Whalers in navy, the end of the classic Sabres, Flames, and Oilers, an understated but nice Blues uniform, the diagonal Pittsburgh road sweater that many people love, the inaugural Panthers and Mighty Ducks, original Sharks and Senators, and the Nordiques with actual stitched numbers. The Bolts were still a work in progress, but hadn't switched out Honolulu blue for dark royal yet. It wasn't a perfect year -- the Stars looked terrible, the Capitals looked terrible, and I have never cared for the spaghetti-skate Canucks -- but it was about as good as you can ask for. 6 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New designs from the Maple Leafs, Devils, Penguins, and Whalers. New uniforms for first-year Senators and Lightning. Smaller changes like the Kings wearing black-based numbers on white and Canucks' orange trim becoming more salmon red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way should that be elevated to primary status, IMHO, but the team is certainly promoting the third way more than the home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo, the Canes are a team that got it right the first time and every jersey they've unveiled since has been a disappointment. The original jerseys have aged really well and wouldn't look out of place or dated in today's NHL. They had their own identity, they were red from top to bottom but no one could have mistaken them for the Red Wings. I know "just go back to the OG jerseys" is a boring solution but they should have never moved on from them in the first place. I don't like the black jersey either, as a personal rule of thumb, if you need different gear color to go with your 3rd jersey and it's not a throwback, you're straying too far from your identity 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 2003-04 was the best the NHL has ever looked. Sure we loose a bit with the Coyotes having switched to their boring look that year but this was also the year of the Vintage jersey program so that balances it out. The Mighty Ducks were still around, there were many of the cool Alts still left too. It was a great year and probably a lot more memorable with the lockout the next year but still, the NHL looked so amazing in 2003-04. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
