If they're doing an experiment by having a few test games, I think it will look nice because their minor league affiliate looks good like that. So will the CBJ. I’d love to see it tried. I gave it a shot a while ago in EA NHL and at first was kinda meh, but looking at it again today it’s looking better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird35 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I like the blue pants on the road, but I would hate to see them go that route for the home set. I feel like it's still a unique look for them, and it does a good job of breaking up the blue. Personally, I think the Tri-City look is a downgrade...too much navy, and nothing is accentuated.

andrewharrington Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It’s probably worth mentioning that the origin of spectator “color-outs” was likely Calgary’s “C of Red” in 1986… when NHL teams wore white at home. And the most well-known/marketed color-out across college sports (where it’s really become a phenomenon) is the Beaver Stadium white-out, in which the Nittany Lions wear dark blue jerseys.

BJ Sands Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I wonder if this opens the door to teams having home and road breezers. Some teams that could conceivably add road pants, based on their color schemes: Panthers (red) Capitals (red) Avalanche (burgundy) Stars (green) Predators (yellow) Sharks (teal) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that looks sharp and would look even better with the red cuffs on the pants. Found a better picture of the one game (I think it was only one) when they wore the blue pants with the white jersey at the end of 2021. I love how that looks. If I had to put money on what they'll be wearing in ten years, though, my guess would be this will be the full-time home look and they'll have a matching white version for the road. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could result in a scenario where you would have the Oilers or Canes wearing their stealth jerseys for seven games in a row lol. I really don't want the NHL to become the NFL or worse, the NBA when it comes to relaxed uniform rules. Teams have to be protected from their own stupidity They wouldn't really be relaxed rules. Teams would still only be able to wear 2 uniforms throughout the playoffs (unlike the NBA or MLB). Teams can already designate a third jersey as the home uniform for the playoffs, so you being upset about the stealth looks showing up in the playoffs is a different argument altogether. If the Jets & Coyotes were to face off in a series it would just look like a pre-2003 matchup with both teams wearing white at home. 11 hours ago, BJ Sands said: I wonder if this opens the door to teams having home and road breezers.

Some teams that could conceivably add road pants, based on their color schemes: Panthers (red) Capitals (red) Avalanche (burgundy) Stars (green) Predators (yellow) Sharks (teal) I had to google yellow hockey pants and honestly, with the white jersey, I think it could look alright. As a once in a while thing, of course I don't think any team has ever worn teal pants but why not? If bright royal blue and kelly green have been worn before, I'm sure teal wouldn't look that weird. While we're at it, their gloves could use some more teal on the fingers or cuff roll With all the trends that have come and gone, I think it's about time the more imaginative glove colour patterns make a comeback along with pant stripes. Vegas is the only team with different home and away gloves, I'm not saying every team should do it, but gloves are a very important design element that's often undervalued The difference a little splash of colour can make is huge. Best example is when Hossa was on the Penguins. They had solid black gloves that year but his gloves had a vegas gold pinky stripe and the following year the whole team now had vegas gold accents on their gloves Another example. Owen Nolan's gloves look way better than the generic black gloves worn by Turcotte Sorry for all the pictures lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An expansion team from the early 2000s playing O6 dress-up because double blue jerseys, roundel logos and vintage white were trendy in the early 2010s Especially now that we have yet another navy blue + light blue team in Seattle. They don't wanna look like the Rangers (which they absolutely don't, not even remotely close) but they wouldn't mind sharing their colours with the Jets and Kraken? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point they've outlasted every single one of the pictured uniforms, brought back twice after two seasons when nobody used alternates, and have become their own little corner of the Blue Jackets brand that I wouldn't mind if they just wrapped the entire brand around. Also there's a legitimate justification for that franchise with that namesake using those colors that neither the Panthers or Penguins can claim. Plus I just think the uniform looks good as a piece of jersey design. It may have been a contribution to a trend at the time of it's release, but it's lasted longer than the trend so now it's just a solid look. 22 hours ago, AFirestormToPurify said: Especially now that we have yet another navy blue + light blue team in Seattle.

They don't look anything like the Kraken or the Jets so that's not a concern. Theirs also predate both so even if that was a concern then take it up with the Kraken and Jets. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see your point, but it seems like an easy solution would be to use the logo without the roundel. Why not just have the cannon on the jersey? Also, just as big of an issue with that uniform is that it completely ignores the Blue Jackets' use of red. Add some into that look in a subtle way, and you'll have something nice.

Why not just have the cannon on the jersey? Have you ever seen the cannon without the roundel? It's a well-rendered illustration, but by itself it lacks a certain punch. That and every bad CBJ concept on the internet has used just the cannon and I don't like it. 17 hours ago, gosioux76 said: Also, just as big of an issue with that uniform is that it completely ignores the Blue Jackets' use of red.

It makes it a true alternate brand, kind of like a clash kit in soccer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 The Columbus rounded logo is fine. I would suggest turn the outer line 90-deg to make it look like a 'C' 1 Quote I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 There is way too much happening in that logo at the same time, but those Northwestern stripes are basic as hell.
