I've actually come around a lot on the Rangers SS jersey. The more I look at it, the more I love it. I think what works about it is that the Rangers finally released a special jersey that doesn't have any navy blue. That's always been a pet peeve of mine with any special Rangers design -- the jersey ends up looking too dark. It's so refreshing to see a design without navy blue. I'm not kidding -- Every alternate/special Rangers jersey ends up using navy blue (the second RR had navy blue trim): 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, there's the little problem of red jerseys being associated primarily with the Devils within the Tri-State Area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't get my point -- I'm so glad they're using royal blue for this design instead of navy blue. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayGloria Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Speaking on the Rangers, I watched a game about a week or two ago in which they wore their new alternate. And I have to say, the shield as the crest has grown on me. The sleeve striping pattern is waaaay to busy. I wonder what it would look like if they took the hem stripes, changed them to either royal-white-royal or red-white-red, and then duplicated that on the sleeve striping... I do agree with @ruttep though. I much prefer royal to navy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sleeve stripes are supposed to look like the exterior blue-white-red-white-blue lights of MSG (as the lights highlight the home blue jersey stripes) Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Kramerica Industries Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 On 1/26/2024 at 5:12 PM, ruttep said: This Stadium Series jersey somehow isn't even the lowest effort Islanders jersey of the last few years That was low effort as hell but. , at least they looked like the Islanders. I didn't mind those for that reason. I get it, those RR's were literally "swap the orange and white stripes from the mid-2000s", an untrained eye might not even notice the difference between those and the sweaters that Mark Parrish and Mariusz Czerkawski wore, but maybe that's the point...some of the RR's involved color swaps that simply didn't fit with the ethos of the original designs, they didn't make sense in that arrangement. The Lightning taking the OG storm jersey and giving it a white background was nonsensical because you don't picture storms occurring in bright surroundings. In this case, "less is more" and all that crap...it's obviously not lost on me that Lou Lamoriello has been in the Isles organization throughout these years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
