Frylock Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 After reading and posting in this topic, I got to thinking... What if the Canadiens presented a tribute to the Expos that involved more than just a banner, but... a jersey...Why, yes, yes I do have a sick mind. Thank you for noticing!

Shumway Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 It's actually not all that bad looking. The only suggestion I have is to maybe add more white to the stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgnmrwrw Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I really like it. Some colors similar to these would have made a good update for the Nordiques, had they stayed around. HURRICANES | PANTHERS | WHITE SOX | WOLFPACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frylock Posted October 22, 2005 Author Share Posted October 22, 2005 Wow... Thanks for all the kind words! This went over better than I anticipated. Knowing that's powder blue and retro, I was girding my loins for the expected flack from certain groups. Anyhoo... On to the replies...Shumway -- I originally went with white/red/white for the sleeve and torso stripes, but I wanted to be somewhat faithfull to the Expos unis rather than the Habs, ao I based it off of the racing stripes from the '80s Expos gear and changed it to the blue/red/blue pattern.HatCity -- Excellent analogies! Mockba -- Dude! Why the hatin' on the serifed Expos font?!? They were kinda cheesy in a way, but I will always think of that font whenever I think of the Expos. They will be tied together forever, like peanut butter & bananas.dgnmrwrw -- Funny you should mention the Nords... I used very similar colors in my Nords concept from my WHA Concept Project back from when these very boards opened up. Speaking of the WHACP, we'll be hearing more about that very soon... Suigi -- Thanks for the suggestion! If I were to send this in, I would have to add one more thing... The pinwheel helmet!Thanks again for the feedback, everyone!

JPBlueHen Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Not bad. You should try one that replaces the powder blue with red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I'd love to see these jerseys on SEGA NHL '93; it'd be like having the players in Stealth Mode, camouflaged by the powder blue ice! Pinwheel helmet is the addition of the millenium, my friend.Of course, to truly go Expos, you need the racing stripes (red/blue) down the sleeves, and red numbers. But I am being picky.I've always rued the day I outgrew my Hubie Brooks #7 jersey... Where did you get the Expos font? I've looked for it and come up blank. That font was awesome, and screamed Expos. I even had my mom find the pattern for the letters and put my name on the back of my Expos' satin bullpen jacket. (I was 9. It was cool.) "Start spreading the news... They're leavin' today... Won't get to be a part of it... In old New York..."In order for the Mets' run of 12 losses in 17 games to mean something, the Phillies still had to win 13 of 17.

Frylock Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 Thank you guys, for adding more C&C! JPBlueHen -- Here's the one in red. I actually think this looks pretty sharp...VitaminD -- Gotta love that pinwheel helmet! I would love to see something like that on the ice. It almost reminds me of the two-tone helmets the Oshawa Generals used to wear. Anyhow, here's yours with the racing stripes...Enjoy, fellas!

Le Québécois Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Being a fan of both teams, I must say I prefer the red one than the powder blue.Anyway, between you and me, nothing can't be worst than this awful banner they unveiled last tuesday. Good intention from the Canadiens but please, get rid of the person who designed that thing..... For the love of God! Le QUÉBÉCOIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Québécois Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 what's wrong with it? Ok, where do I start....?I went to the game last saturday against the Isles. I'm telling you, you need a pair of binoculars to see the names on it.Althought the color was the original uniform away color, that powder blue looks awful to me (question of taste). Maybe it's because the Expos were the last team to get rid of that color with the Kansas City Royals (correct me if I'm wrong here).The whole banner concept looks only 1969 as if the 'spos played in major baseball from 1969 to 1972... I'd say it would have been great if they had used the two looks of the Expos. Then, everybody could have related to that banner, old and young people...A voyage through Expos history if you will. I've made something up here in a few minutes with mspaint just to give you an idea of what I have in mind. I know it looks bad but I'm sure somebody here would be able to do something better by taking more time than I did on this... Le QUÉBÉCOIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
