Every report I've seen has said that the grey is being dropped altogether, and a new black third jersey is going to be introduced, along with a new RR. If you don't know who @ebod39 is... you've been here a while, man. You should know. Anyway, you can take anything he posts on NHL uniforms as gospel. He knows. 5 Quote On 1/25/2013 at 1:53 PM, 'Atom said: For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head.

M4One Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 So, if Vegas is going gold full time at home, I feel like they should switch to the grey pants for the aways, if that's not the plan. With the only black being in the logo on the white jersey and on the collar, the black pants is somewhat out of place, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a lot deeper for some teams than others, but realistically, how many seasons could they do it before they start rehashing old ideas or doing shirts that define "distinction without a difference"?

Hopefully we see something once September rolls around, but I could see them waiting until around the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to know you can't come on here and say this (quoted) line. It's very much debatable...and kind the point of what we do here. I thought my well done steak and ketchup metaphor was ridiculous enough to show that I'm just busting his balls in the least hostile way that I can. I guess I should have used the sarcasm font?

M4One Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Not sure if it means anything, but at the Canucks' prospect camp, the players were wearing pants without the stripes on the side. Edit: After looking at the Abby Canucks, they don't have stripes on the pants, so I guess that's the reason and the Canucks aren't changing anything.

VampyrRabbit Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 So the new Oilers jersey has a logo with a 3D effect and the dark blue and orange will be kept for one more season. The Devils will sport a special anniversary patch on their shoulders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBGKon Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I would also suspect a Lightning 30th anniversary logo/patch coming up in the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like wanting your steak well done with ketchup on it and a glass of lukewarm milk on the side lol Red and blue don't touch anywhere on the jersey, so why should they touch and bleed onto each other on the numbers? The double outline is absolutely needed here. Not debatable, sorry! Actually, the white coming between the red and blue reminds me more of a milksteak with ketchup than anything. One outline is the exact correct number of outlines in all cases, sorry. Single color numbers and double/triple outlined numbers just aren't as good. Even worse when one of them is a ghosted outline. Even worse than that is when the outline is ghosted and then the outer outline is the same color as the number. So at least they don't have that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly good and fine and consistent jersey: Not bad but the numbers ruin the "red and blue cannot touch" rule applied everywhere else on the uniform, therefore it is inferior as it creates the annoying optical illusion that makes the number look purple from a distance [MOD EDIT: I know you're exaggerating for effect, but don't please bring that into it] Edited July 12, 2022 by officeglenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These numbers still look the same color as the pants to me. Besides, the red jerseys have red touching blue and doesn't look purple. I actually prefer the striping you've presented on the bottom to their actual striping. The logo looks awful but that has more to do with all that being smushed together into a small space. It wouldn't look nearly as bad if you made the blue H the size of the white H instead of keeping the blue outline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't look nearly as bad if you made the blue H the size of the white H instead of keeping the blue outline. I dunno, it doesn't always look purple, depends on the picture and lighting (the one you posted is super desaturated and dull) but it always looks muddy and cheap imo. And it pretty much only happens when royal blue numbers are outlined with red. I think the NY Rangers away jersey (among countless other examples) name, numbers and script logo would also benefit from having a white gap but that's just me I guess For some reason, blue and red touch on the home Habs jersey but it doesn't bother me as much. Then again, I think it only bothers me when red and blue reflective twill numbers touch. The 1945 throwback and 2016 WC classic with the blue chest stripes outlined in red look gorgeous to me, for what it's worth Yeah the more I think about it, it only bothers me when the materials used are reflective. So if they were to use felt numbers (like on the 2016 WC) I wouldn't have any problems with it. Or maybe twill but with a much thicker red outline? And of course the "concept" I made looks terrible, it was completely on purpose lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the cheap Agency font, not having pants striping is the only flaw in the Abby Canucks' uniforms. However, the Canucks' pants whenever they wear their current 3rds also doesn't have the familiar white-green-white stripes. Not a fan of stripeless pants. Looks boring and lazy.

But there's more than a few who also like the orange and the updated darker colors. It's not close to unanimous. When the nostalgia phase runs out, maybe that's why they keep changing to something new. People want to buy new stuff. I guess no more sea of orange, assuming they make the playoffs next year.

Edmonton had a sea of orange and the team never wore orange in the playoffs. The fans can still wear orange if they want while the team wears royal. Granted, it'd be weird if everyone just wore old orange jerseys...but in the playoffs, fans will generally wear whatever the team wants them to wear, and usually will give away free tshirts to make it happen. 1 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

No weirder than teams still pushing for "whiteouts" in this colour-at-home era. Like why the hell would I want to feel like I'm encouraging the other team? lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
