Broadcasters might have a hard time with that, even if they have the numbers on the left chest. I actually do like that look, because it adds to the 60’s-ness to the design, but I would imagine they’ll have to add left numbers anyways. Broadcasters managed with no sleeve numbers on the left sleeve of this jersey ... ... so they'll be OK. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado - quite ok. Colorado - Where is red? Dallas - perfect, make it an permament alternate Detroit - WTF?! How you could fuc..d up that by adding a black?! You are Red Wings not Blackhawks! Edmonton - really good Florida - nicely Los Angeles - one of the best Minnesota - also one of the best Montreal - same question as for Columbus. Nashville - not so much reversed New Jersey - intresting use of Scouts NY Islanders - would be better with shoulders logos and proper yoke NY Rangers - yawn.. Ottawa - I like it Philadelphia - I wish they do a black jersey but white isn't bad either Pittsburgh - finally those cowards bring back a robo pen, would be better in yellow but still is my favourite one San Jose - Will they add white skates to that? Amazing sweater Seattle - very meh St. Louis - they nailed it, great one Tampa Bay - white didn't fit into a storm theme. Toronto - safety but good Vancouver - fans finally get a Johnny Canuck Vegas - one of the best Washington - I like previous RR more but this one is nicely too. Winnipeg - correct My top 3: Penguins Vegas Dallas Bottom 3: Detroit (wouldn't be there if they use white) Montreal Columbus Why are they Cowards? King Penguin himself, Mario Lemieux H A T E D the pigeon robo hummingbird thingie.

And it's only the youngins and newbies that actually like it There's no actual evidence to suggest Mario outright hates the Robopen, though; that's all a myth that won't die with nothing to substantiate it. Obviously management thought it was a good idea to bring the Robopen back instead of Skating Penguin Variant #3000. The lack of Robopen was literally the big thing most people complained about with their last RR design; and this design would've had to have been in the works last year, given how finished jerseys were leaking before this season started...which means it's very likely Lemieux himself who signed off on the Robopen design, since Fenway only took control in December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 The consensus around the Panthers having the best design is weird to me. It's fine, I guess, but it's not as good as every publication is making it out to be. I feel like this is just a consequence of the Panthers being a very internet-friendly team right now (I have my theories).

I have no qualms with the jersey, it's perfectly fine. But I don't understand why everyone is obsessed with it. People I know who aren't even into hockey love it. I've seen it ranked #1 on many lists. I really don't understand why people think it's the best one.

The_Admiral Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 The last time the Panthers decided to add powder blue to their palette, everyone found it tired and annoying. Now, it's a stroke of genius. I don't begrudge people liking it, I see why some might like it, but the unanimity of the response is odd. I don't think any of these sweaters earned unanimous praise. The only conclusion I can draw is that people in media really want you to like the Florida Panthers right now, as they did with the Hurricanes a few years ago. 1 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few teams who’s homes and aways are more than just color swaps: Detroit, NY Rangers, Chicago, Dallas, Buffalo, Carolina, Nashville. Even the more extreme examples like Minnesota and Montreal never bothered me, but I guess to some people it’s all a matter of degree, and the Wild’s looks were too disparate for many. And I understand and respect that. 1 Quote Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to be a different shade of blue this time, this time around the shade looks to be brighter, whether that is due to the shade actually being brighter or just that it's next to red and golden yellow as opposed to blue with white piping. The differences in shade (real or percieved) and the logos, plus that it's a big twist on a well liked original shirt rather what seems like a shirt designed to please jetBlue looks to be the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I am a little confused as to why the penguins brought back the robo penguin, but shunned it for the sleeve patches for the original white RR and current black diagonal Pittsburgh jersey. Now the penguins have a white away jersey and THREE black jerseys with THREE different penguins in their rotation this year. Seems kinda redundant…especially when their standard jerseys (with the proper skating penguin and gold triangle) are far superior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bingo. I really like the RR, and I hated the JetBlue jersey. The red and yellow give it a Florida feel, as opposed to completely stripping those colours from their identity.

Btw Lemieux supposledy also hates yellow sweaters but Penguins already had two of them under his cadency so his rumored preferences doesn't matter.

GFB Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 @the admiral For the Panthers, I think it’s more of the 90’s appeal of the original logos, jersey design, and the presence of the red and gold that wasn’t there for the previous alternate (along with the weird roundel logo with a smoothed-out panther). I’d agree with you that the reception is a little bizarre, but visually it does work much better this time around using the light blue as a direct substitute for white.
