Ark Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I hope they throw back to the 80s uniforms (before Gretzky) BTW it would have been really cool to see Gretzky wear those uniforms, and what’s more the Kings would probably still be wearing those colors today 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamSoda Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Watching the Sharks highlights and I really don’t like the away uniforms. it comes across as two black stripes with a large white stripe between them. Just not very aesthetically pleasing. Absolutely should have made the middle teal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Reverse Retros are going to be unveiled in November, then having '90s night in December makes sense. Why are they doing Memphis design for a '95-'96 sweater? No one was doing Saved by the Bell squiggles anymore by then. 4 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniformity Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 On 10/6/2022 at 10:05 PM, Tomkesler said: https://www.nhl.com/kraken/news/2022-23-depths-members-to-receive-limited-edition-toque/c-336118658 "The striping up top is inspired by Seattle's hockey history and sets the course for new adventures that lie ahead - plus a sneak peek at future jersey releases." Based on the article, it looks like these STH beanies are hinting at the striping pattern for the Kraken reverse retro jersey. The anchor might be a clue as well, but that isn't as obvious. The only pro Seattle hockey team known to use northwestern stripes was the Ironmen in the mid 40s. It was a generic logo-less uniform that they might of used for one season. The sweater was two colour had a number on the front and featured a white shoulder yolk with NW hem stripes. It was identical to that worn by dozens of minor league teams of that era. If this is the uniform they are going back to its a bit similar to the Devils "Jersey" which made little sense in terms of local hockey history. I'm sure it can't look terrible but calling it historical is a bit revisionist. If not the Metropolitans the team the Kraken should be remembering is the Seattle Totems. They had championships the greatest player in minor pro history and they were the biggest sport in town for much of their existence. The franchise also has a selection of unique and absolutely gorgeous uniforms to choose from. It reminds me of their recent mascot debacle. Fans were saying this was an easy layup. Instead of picking a mascot that represents the team name they went with the equivalent of a sea pylon. So wrong but even the fans are pretenders. its "tap in" not "lay up". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically the ones they wore before the RBK Edge came to life Thats not even true. When Calgary had black C on jersey before retro. More fans had 3rd jersey at the time aka the retro jersey worn more by fans than the home jersey at home games. I been to some games myself. Fans themselves like the retro jersey more. Dont know where you get your info saying people like black C more, but fans love retro look even more. I seen it first hand. Flames fan wanted retro back full time. Retro or 3rd jersey at the time was outselling the home jersey at the time. For you to say Flames fans like black C more isn't right. Where did you get your info from. I got mine from seeing at games and knowing the city sold more retro jersey then home. Yes I am fans myself. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The Blue Jackets are practicing this morning in their blue pants, which means they’ll wear them opening night at Carolina. The red pants with white jerseys looks to be a preseason only thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from seeing at games and knowing the city sold more retro jersey then home. Let's test that, shall we? How's about we look at photos of the crowds in Calgary and see if that holds up; Plenty of black C jerseys here, wow. More than the retros, in fact. But it's just one, let's try to increase the sample size with another sample; Huh. Also a lot more black C jerseys than retros. Ah, but it's just two photos, right? Let's keep going, maybe I'm missing some images. Heck, let's throw in a photo from this past May; ....huh. You know, there's a lot more black C's in the Saddledome then I would've expected if the retros were so thoroughly obliterating them in terms of local popularity.

I don't live in Calgary now but based on the ppl I know fans definitely wanted a return to and lobbied for the reverse retro. Its a bit of stretch to say that the 2004 jersey was massively more popular than it. It definitely was popular in 2004 because it replaced some pretty awful jerseys including the pedestal and the black horse head thing which didn't make a lot of sense as a home jersey. The edge jerseys were definitely a step backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
