Let's throw some blue into that: (The Rangers' and Flames' away jerseys are also my two favorite away jerseys in the league) I didn't see that the Wild wore their North Starts look against the Rangers, i agree that some blue adds a beautiful touch. This is why i'm torn apart by the Wild's North stars look. On one hand they should let the North stars rest in peace but on the other hand, this look is way better than their current set. And a matchup like this one confirms it imo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverFan69 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 15 hours ago, Morgan33 said: Agreed. Their entire uniform history, since winning the cup in 06, has been an endless comedy of blunders... Cluttering their distinctive Championship jerseys with unnecessary piping. Ditching their storm flag striping to play Team Canada cosplay and having a generic road counterpart that doesn't even match. Somewhat redeeming their home jersey for the Adidas changeover while leaving the road unchanged. Managing to make their already abysmal road jersey even worse with a derivative diagonal script, bush-league nickname and worse striping. Making their ridiculously ugly Black alternate their full time home jersey. Bringing back their best jersey for one season before retiring it for good. Not having a matching home and road in over ten years. Not being able to decide on a primary logo. Coloured helmets on the road. Minimizing silver to the point where it barely exists. The list goes on and on... Morgan, we disagreed constantly over the years but this time, I fully agree with you 1000%. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that "TRIA" patch is just absolutely horrendous and spoils the entire look. We finally get proper North Stars colours back after 30+ years and they're ruined by that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The Wild's green and yellow jerseys are decet (I don't love them as hard as a lot of people seem to) but I think their red and green jerseys are beautiful and they should just continue to own that look. I find it to be far superior to the North Stars re-colouring, and it's their history as the Wild. By doing this they are yet another team succumbing to an alternate history that shouldn't dilute their already unique and strong identity. 1 Quote I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself.

I'm just glad somebody brought those colours back since Dallas would rather ice an even tackier "Black Ice' fashion jersey than honor their true history... Those colours are too good for nobody to use them. Just get rid of that hideous advert and it's one of the best looks in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're not being a dick, like what you like. It's not really my cup of tea, but I understand why people like it and the idea behind the uniform, and it's a lot better than the Mono for Monos sake Oilers and Devils alternates, and the Canes almost mono now home uniform.

Sodboy13 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Thoughts from the official Lightning 3rd unveiling: - Hooray, drop shadowing! - Not using silver numbers is a big miss. - Putting one silver stripe on each sleeve and not incorporating the color anywhere else makes no sense. Especially when you can put one on the hem, go Full Brandspeak, and tell everyone how the three silver stripes represent the franchise's Cup victories. - While we're at the hem, why did you decide to go with one white stripe of a completely different width here? It's like you had different teams working on the body and on the sleeves. - The sleeve striping actually looks better on non-jersey merch, like hoodies and zip-ups. Maybe it's because those items don't have the thick white stripe to undo the look. - No shoulder patches from a team that always has had them and has a simple, scalable primary logo just comes off as lazy. If they had taken the primary logo and given it the same drop shadowing treatment they've used on the numbers, it would be awesome. So, like every Lightning attempt to bring back the black, they could have had something here, but unfortunately they really don't. 3 1 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.

nash61 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The detailing and blue outline on the crest (!) are the best parts of this. The victory stripes finally being prominently featured by a team that has tried to minimalize them for so long is also nice, but the overall uniform feels lacking in uniformity.
