Columbus Blue Jackets Seattle Kraken Winnipeg Jets It goes up to six if you count alts... Colorado Avalanche Edmonton Oilers Washington Capitals But overall I would disagree with the notion that the league is too dark blue heavy. I specifically said dark blue and not navy blue. The Leafs are dark blue, for example. I also didn't say anything about jerseys. Pants, helmets and gloves are also part of the uniform. So by my count, it's 12. I didn't count the Islanders, Sabres and Canadiens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still dark royal. I can cherry pick pictures too. Look how dark their blue is compared to the Rangers'. But it's pointless, what I'm saying isn't even debatable. I never said they were a navy team, I just said they were a dark blue team, and according to their pantone #, they objectively are 1 hour ago, VancouverFan69 said: The Canucks are a royal blue team, not a navy one. That's a mistake. Their royal blue shade is lighter than the Maple Leafs' shade. It's the exact same blue. And they use midnight navy on their logo.

Jfc people love to argue over the simplest things on this forum lmao. Since when does dark blue mean navy? Pretty close to what the Leafs, Canucks and Lightning wear, don't you think?

This wasn't done intentionally to preserve the integrity of the uniform. Not a chance Melnyk would pass up some extra cash in his wallet. I'm sure the asking price for the helmet ads was too high for a lot of sponsors. Most of them got the helmet real estate for free last year as a make-good for all the cancelled games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
