Davey Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Didn't they do the same when they came into the nhl, and use there 3rd jerseys, and made them into their home jerseys ( well not anymore, cus i guess there using the blue alts. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hey, hey, hey now, I like the Thrashers light blues. And not just because I'm a Thrashers fan. However, I agree with just about everyone else in the known universe that the whole "unbalanced sleeve" thing is really an annoyance. It makes the jersey look... unfinished. That's why, thanks to the always sexy Roger Clemente and his "Build Your Own NHL Jersey" project, I finished it.Better now?

Tazz013 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 not for nothin' but I did mention this a year ago and have continued to since then.Guess it fell through the cracks.I've mentioned it a couple times myself.The reasoning is so they would use the primary logo on both the home and away uniforms. It's a bold concept, I know, but they made their decision and stand by it.I liked the design of their old home sweaters, but whoever decided that it was a good idea to use an alternate logo on a primary uniform is an idiot.

ElwoodCuse Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Sodboy, get rid of that awful "ATLANTA" on the one side and they'd be on to something.But yes, the whole "alternate logo as the primary on the dark jersey" was just as dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Well, that's great, but now the sweaters themselves don't match!That doesn't seem to bother Ottawa, who apparently is content using completely different jersey styles, primary logos, and fonts on their home and road jerseys. The result: an absolutely horrible look with no consistency whatsoever. In fact, the home Senators dress like they're an ECHL affiliate of the team that wears the clean, classy road unis. Atlanta isn't much better in this regard, but hey, at least they've got their crests and fonts lined up, something that tells you "yes, this is the same team."

Hat Boy Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The reasoning is so they would use the primary logo on both the home and away uniforms. It's a bold concept, I know, but they made their decision and stand by it.Tha sounds reasonable, but couldn't they have just taken the alt logo off the home jersey and put the primary on it? I am not a professioanl seamstress or anything, but I think that once you stitch a patch on a jersey, it isn't permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 what the hell is the logo on the old home jerseys supposed to be?Exactly. It looks kind of like a T, but then you think, "maybe it's a sword or something. Or a scary mask". It's by far one of the weakest logos in the sport. I'm glad they got rd of it.(By the way, I know it's supposed to be a bird flying in top-down perspective. But it just doesn't work.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlanta isn't much better in this regard, but hey, at least they've got their crests and fonts lined up, something that tells you "yes, this is the same team."The Senators really need to get their together. Obviously, just go with the laurel-leaf alternate in black and white, with the 2-D senator head. Not that freakin' hard, guys.The Canadiens aren't as bad as the Thrashers in terms of matching. I do prefer those white sweaters with the blue stripes and red numbers, however. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
