AnPheitseog Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 12 hours ago, maz said: They're definitely up there. Especially on the road. On a white, black, and gold uniform, you have a red and blue logo on the chest and a huge green logo on the helmet. Now, on the home uni, the chest ad is on par with a lot of teams out there with clashing chest ads. And the helmet ad matches in color and even has a penguin in it, but having the words "BOLD Penguin" feels corny as hell, even if it is an actual company (based in a division rival's city). Even then, I could at least attempt to tolerate it, if they didn't make both helmet ads MASSIVE. I love this team, but everything about them off the ice has felt so stale, bland, and corporate-focus-group for years. Boring social media, lame in-game presentation, a sickening abundance of advertising and sponsorship activations everywhere you look in the arena - and this goes back years before COVID. I mean, know it's happening everywhere to some degree, but as soon as the NHL announced uni ads I knew the Pens would be one of the first to jump on and make a mess of it like they have. And yet, across town, the team owned by notorious cheapskate Bob Nutting has resisted uni ads for an entire season. I've been holding that rant in for a long time. All of this. Not to mention the boring bland scorebug. FSG buying this team has been horrible, and I hate it, but like you said it goes way beyond and before them.

TBGKon Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I think I know my issue with the current black Carolina Hurricanes jersey. The logo is now accurate with two flags, but its too vertical. It needs some horizontal balance, like the triangle that was there before. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To add to the critique of the black jersey, I don't know why the shoulder yoke is that grey color -- it doesn't appear anywhere else. If they want to include a shoulder yoke, I wonder if making it red would be better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like anything else about it. Why is there a royal blue stripe on a navy blue base? (It's below the white stripe on the bottom right picture, it's barely visible) This would be the first Rangers jersey to feature the primary crest since these 70s disasters: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttep Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Full look at that jersey. Not the biggest fan - too many stripes on the sleeves imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 This Rangers jersey has got to be up there with the Turd Burger, the black Islanders script and the Devil's current third "Jersey" as one of the most unapologetically hideous alternate designs in recent memory... This abomination, and I do not use that term lightly, is not fit for a minor league team let alone an Original Six franchise. What was the goal here? To take the most universally loathed uniform in Rangers history and make it exponentially worse? Using any of the three Liberty designs would have been a better direction to take. Absolutely hate it! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleeve stripes are too much and too thin, and the whole thing feels like separate projects mashed into one, with no connection whatsoever.

Or bring back this: Whatever that new sweater is, it doesn't look good. Why there is no connection between sleeves and hem? Blue on sleeves make sense, because creates fading effect, but on hem blue is forced. Whole sleeves design imo fits better to Blackhawks (reminds of digital six) than Rangers.

That was the obvious problem that logo had from the second I saw it. It's always looked dumb to me. Not to mention it's a weird logo in that its a ratty flag pole. It's just not nice to look at.

If you're referring to the Rangers, since the collar logo as subway tile it might have something to do with the subway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
