mattyports Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I ain't gonna lie...I love this. Love the "Rink" Vancouver jerseysLove Buffalo in blue and goldExcited to see what Anaheim does, Orange and Black is what the rumor is, apparentlyLOVE Washington in Red, White and Blue! How is any other color combination acceptable? I never understood this. Edmonton Gretzky-era blue jerseys are just associated with a winning tradition--especially if the Cup's filled with Oil this year...Actually, the only one I'm "meh" about is the Calgary black. All their jerseys are kinda the same to me. As a side note, if the B's switch back the Neely/Bourque era jerseys (or even the Orr/Espo "Big Bad Bruins" threads) AND ditch the Winnie the Pooh abominations, I will do backflips. And proudly wear that black vintage #8 that's hanging in my closet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too?

totc Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 LOVE Washington in Red, White and Blue! How is any other color combination acceptable? I never understood this. This is the same Washington DC in which there was a team called the Federals which were green, silver, and white. That was because of the owner's damn yacht.

DanI saw this same post, word for word, on the official Buffalo Sabres forums. The poster also added this on said site :Specifically about the Sabres jersey...an update on the current jersey with slightly altered blue and gold colors. The alternate is the exact blue jersey worn in the Sabres early era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattyports Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 the vintage as an alternate! make them whole set what the Bruins had before the trash they have now!!! Hear Hear! It's been said a million times on Bruins message boards, but an organization like Boston needs to go back to their old style. You know, the one they had when they were winning. None of this Fleetcenter-era Pooh Bear s***. It's awful. Get back with tradition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveR Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Will they still use the Eagle logo, or are they switching to the Capitol building one as the new primary? They've pretty much switched to the dome as the primary logo already. It's on the home jerseys, center ice at Verizon Center, the media guide, the stationery, the web site, etc.The use of the eagle is pretty much limited to three things -- the jerseys (white=chest, black=shoulders) and the mascot.But this could be something completely different.

ClassicB Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I bought one each of the Neely solid white and solid black jersey's back in 1995. To this day, I haven't bought any of the new style Bruins jersey's. Could not stand how the B's went from an Original Six look to an Expansion team look ---ACH!!I hope to hell that they are going back to a Neely/Bourque era jersey as there home/away with the Vintage '72's as the 3rd.This franchise needs it badly!!
