NorthStar74 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) This would have been cool to see... also would be a good 3rd jersey (alternate or vintage)??

This just feels incomplete and the color balance is off compared to the above: Agree with you about the hem-stripe, it really throws the colour balance off. Another thing sinking this half-assed throwback, and I didn't notice until seeing the jersey up close, was the idiotic decision to replace the metallic gold with a mat shade. They used metallic gold on the reverse retros, but not these. Why? Because it was eye-catching and unique? Stupid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm aware that this is a Tampa Bay Rays of Sunshine and Also Fish situation, where they're both Roman and Canadian Senators, but I just really like the Peace Tower, the updated 2D centurion, and mint green. 4 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got it right the first time. The only thing I disagree with you on is the shoulder patch. I much prefer the boring state flag 'C' over the foot. If Colorado wants to stick with their original look, they should go back to these and stop tampering with their uniforms. I think the blue equipment has been a massive downgrade and I do not like the new blue numbers on their away jersey at all. The black equipment and the black accents on the jerseys did a great job of balancing the colours of burgundy and blue. I also miss the old outlines on the numbers and the glacier twill.

NYRFan Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 When we first saw the Kraken color scheme, I wasn't sure if another "double-blue" look was played out or if Seattle would end up looking like the Winnipeg Jets (primary) or CBJ (alt), with a midnight blue contrasted against a "powder" blue. Seeing the colors more, I realize it's unique from the "aviator" blue and the Sharks' teal. It's tough to pin down the Kraken colors. When I've shown it to non-hockey fans, I'll get "mint" or "seafoam" when asked to describe the non-navy colors. They definitely dig the look, though, overall. I know the Kraken have spoken at length about the various blues in their color scheme. Did one of the 4 blues get dropped, BTW? I'm more noticing the dark midnight navy, the light blue and the icy blue. When the light and icy blues play off each other against the navy, at least to my eye, they may be referred to as "blue," but they appear as a greenish shade. Is it me? Either way, they look awesome, even on a baby-blue practice jersey with Starbucks ad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor says "Boundless Blue," the slate one, is only a supporting color, and the sweaters only seem to have three shades of blue. And nope, not just you, Seattle's color scheme actually feels more like navy/mint to me, which is great, because it feels marine and Pacific Northwestern without being close to what the Canucks are doing. The hex value for "Ice Blue" places it right around 180 on the hue scale, right in the heart of the cyan space, so it certainly is leaning toward green. It still looks greener than that on a lot of real-life applications, so maybe they've tweaked it since. 2 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayMac Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Ads on the sweaters were inevitable. It sucks but we all knew it was coming. What I find funny is that the Premier League is cracking down on gambling sponsor ads on the clubs' shirts and North America (at least the US is) is doubling down on gambling as a whole. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I was thinking black/red/gold with mint as a strictly supporting color, like the feather/tomahawk colors for the Blackhawks. Has to be used extremely sparingly. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
