VampyrRabbit Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 8 hours ago, Sport said: Yeah, but it still looks 97% like the original Hurricanes where black pants wouldn't. Surely you understand the difference between closely resembling the original uniform intended for an anniversary night and wearing something entirely different from what the team wore in 1997? It would still have the same shirt details apart from the collar, the same shirt colours, the same logos, so it wouldn't be something entirely different. With black pants, it would still look like the original Hurricanes. Not as high as 97 percent, but still a pretty high number. If the Canes do make it their home jersey again, then black pants would look better than red ones. 5 hours ago, habsfan1 said: Because it wouldn't be visible enough, if it's hidden in a spot too close to the big crest. It defeats the purpose. Sponsors would not want the Captain's C or anything else getting in the way of their ad and the space around it. Or for the logo to be covered in blood after a fight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the black breezers are something they never had until the original black Reebok alternate. So it wouldn’t really be a throwback if they did something they never did. The collar isn’t something a casual fan would notice. In fact, their original jerseys only had single colored names, until 2000, but these throwbacks are supposed to the inaugural look. Again, something a casual fan wouldn’t notice. But black breezers?? Casual fans would notice, and know that they didn’t wear them with that set. You can argue for whether or not black breezers look better than red ones, but the true throwback has to be with red breezers and not black. So no they would not look like the original hurricanes if they wore black breezers with the original red sweaters. It would be like saying if the Yankees decided to have red pinstripes instead of navy. Would they look like the Yankees? No. Would it look good? That’s a different question… 4 Quote "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

That’s a different question… It's not, because I never said anything about changing the actual shirt, just the pants colour. A better comparison would be The Yankees changing the cap colour to white or wearing navy pants. In both cases, the actual shirt is left alone. FTR, I would leave the Yankees Uniform well alone, It is The Most Recognisable Uniform in Sports. Anyway, we are talking about the Canes here, and if they have (almost) the same jersey, with the same colour helmet and gloves, just with black pants instead of red pants with black hem trim, then they would still look like the original Hurricanes. If it's a throwback, then they should definately have had those black hem trims though. But in a few years when they make that jersey the new home, which will happen sooner or later, it's happened with many other teams going back to an original Jersey, then going to black shorts would probably be an improvement.

I guess what everyone else, and myself is saying is that if you change the color of the breezers, than the color blocking is completely different, therefore it doesn’t look like just the original Hurricanes. There are small things like the black cuffs on the red breezers that are missing, but if the original hurricanes were red from head to sock, changing that color in the middle would be missing the point of the throwback. In any sport, if a team wanted to do a throwback, but randomly changed the color of the pants, then it wouldn’t really be a throwback to that look, even if the shirt is the same color. 2 Quote "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

In any sport, if a team wanted to do a throwback, but randomly changed the color of the pants, then it wouldn’t really be a throwback to that look, even if the shirt is the same color. In Soccer, there are quite a few teams that have done throwback looks, but changed the colour of the shorts or socks, Barcelona for their Centenary shirt wore navy shorts and socks instead of white shorts and black socks, and Manchester United wearing black shorts and socks with the green and yellow halved shirts in 1993-1994 instead of either white or navy shorts. I would still regard both of those as throwbacks. Same with the Norwich City 2015-2016 kit which had green shorts and yellow socks instead of black shorts and socks. For me, the colour blocking doesn't look or feel that different with red or black pants, but I feel like black ones would work better with the red Canes jersey than the red ones. Though for the original set, the red worked wonderfully with the white jersey of the same time period and probably better than black pants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrOrange Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Haven't followed the whole situation closely, but saw some NHL teams now having jersey sponsors. Will these sponsors be on all team merchandise including jerseys? or just on the players jerseys but not the fans ones now - at least for now?

Some kind of league rule about gambling-related ads. Thread starts here: I dislike basically everything about that dumb Vegas team, but one thing they got right from the beginning was the home uniforms in particular. I’m actually annoyed how much I like their original home look. This gaudy gold set, though? Complete trash. No idea why they would ever make that change. 8 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

Ricky_Roby Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 According to @AliMurji - his source suggest this is what the Senators Reverse Retro will be. If so... that's a shame. So boring. I thought their last RR in red was ok but lacked any sense of fun or originality. This one even more so. Not a bad design on its own, just a missed opportunity to maybe use the peace tower script as part of their 30th season... this just feels like their regular home jersey with red sleeves.
