While WE care about socks and breezers most people don’t lol That's fair. I just have no clue how to gauge a uniform that I haven't seen 70% of when these "reveals" get posted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I think dark road helmets CAN look okay if there is a strong enough presence of the same colour on their jerseys (ie, the shoulder yokes). If it's a predominantley white jersey (like the Leafs' road) it just looks unbalanced and I don't like it. I'll see if my theory holds up if/when we see more.... 1 Quote I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I would simplify the arm striping pattern moving forward, but the more I see the Bruins road uniforms for this year, the more I'm actually liking them. Definitely would've said they looked plain to be originally and they may not be as good as their usual road uniform, but on their own these are perfectly good.

ruttep Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Still not the biggest fan of the Bruins' centennial jerseys (besides the logo, which I think is their best ever), but they looked great against the Rangers' home blues 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttep Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 The Rangers seem to be finally releasing the third jerseys that everyone's already seen. Interested to see what the schedule for the third jersey will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Sharks of 2023-24, there’s a lot that’s unlovable about this franchise. Teal helmets are something to love though, even if it’s an adrift team. 3 1 1 Quote MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like they're wearing pyjamas and I'm just not a fan of the contrasting helmets. It makes the away team look less 'sleek' and 'pro' in some way.

I wish I liked it, but it just doesn't make the away team look better IMO. For what it's worth, what can be considered to look "professional" in any sport has become a thing of the past (for example: more monocolor looks and new alternate helmets in American football, no more home/road designations in the NBA, more teams using non-gray jerseys on the road in the MLB). I don't mind the look, I think colored helmets can look good on the right white sweaters, and I don't really notice anything "less professional" about it other than it's not what the status quo is. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing some triple mismatch here and there on some teams. As an admission, I liked the general look of the uniforms when the Kings wore chrome domes. Sure, it was a bit too flashy, but the color balance worked well, and IMO looked better than white black or white helmets could achieve for the look. 3 2 1 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm yeah quite possibly its a reaction to what I am used to seeing, however I would submit that the visual similarity to minor league/college hockey drives my reaction. Not that this is a good reason why it shouldn't happen, but I don't like it. The balance of colour - while it can work okay some of the time - is too top heavy. It almost makes them look smaller. If 2 or 3 teams did it then thats fine..im just worried a dozen or so teams will jump on it and that will result in a whole lot of subpar looking unis. 1 Quote I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

I feel like the NHL is the most "professional"- looking league left. When colored helmets with white jerseys is the most revolutionary development in the NHL's aesthetics, you're talking about a pretty traditional league. And even if "professional" looks were a thing of the past, that's not an excuse to then say "No one else is doing things that make sense, I'll do something completely random as well!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
