They just darkened the blue & made orange the home colour. Can't really compare that with the Kings. Secondly, I think it's just a matter of time until the oilers go back to the royal blue. They are still the same except for the ways they are different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4One Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 That same Post2post guy who hinted the Islanders were going with the Fisherman, also suggested the Oilers were going with the McFarlane jersey for their RR, the Bruins are going with a bear (so Meth Bear?), and most interesting of all, the Canadiens will have an Expos theme jersey. If Montreal really is going with an Expos theme, regardless if whether it looks good or not, then maybe not every team should have a RR jersey. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, personally; there's not exactly much for the Habs to reverse otherwise, considering the vast majority of their history has been the same jersey and they did a blue inversion of their red jersey last time; so bending the rules a little and doing a throwback to another much-loved team in the city, even if in a different sport, makes a lot of sense. That's the problem with a team that is so extremely consistent in it's branding (or one so new it had nothing to reverse, like we saw with Vegas); a jersey program which offers itself well to playing with old designs is somewhat limited in what exactly you can do. So being creative and showing some love to your city's sports history is a perfect way to get around that limitation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shumway Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I don't care if it doesn't fit the reverse retro theme or anything Montreal would do, but give me a jersey with skating Youppi, dammit! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a video on youtube, not sure who, where the guy had some info from some teams, and had Orion Taylor make concepts for each team based on those or just what he wanted. Good video, but the Bruins one was with a little info stating they're trying to decide between the Pooh Bear or a white version of their old alternate with the current bear logo. EDIT: Oh so it was the Post2Post guy. my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's the lighting and the colors were more saturated in person, but I really like how the colors look in this photo. The shade of blue isn't quite royal or navy. It's a nice in between; same with the orange. Kinda wish it was their actual color scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the Oiler's color scheme having and more 'western flair' (darker royal blue and a sort of "burnt" orange would work well for them). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that the Kings return to the Gretzky-era Chevrolet logo, when they won 2 Cups under the current logo. I do think that the home plate could use an slight update. But the 90s logo, as it is, is too outdated. All those tiny little Lakers style motion lines in the "Kings" script goes against the more simplified logos introduced over the last 10 years.

After all the hate I've gotten on here for daring to criticize the Flame's retro's, I incorrectly assumed you were being combative. Anyways, I asked the person working there if they had any of last years Reverse Retro's left and they said "no, but the next one will feature that same logo on the front." When I told this person that I thought they were going with the pedestal, they said "That wasn't incorrect." Guess we'll have to wait and see... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 We've already had the Pens swap out shoulder patches, the Wild logo on a North Stars jersey, and a mashup of eras for other teams. If the last one was a hit with Flames fans I could see them putting Blasty on a pedestal*. *No pun intended. Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
