yh Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 That team appears to be in huge trouble talent wise. The three players they used to display the jerseys look terribly old and out of shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecticbro Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The blue and yellow one works much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myartsaywhat Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The white and blue's look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 That second set is awesome! Vintage, but still modern at the same time. Much better than that vomit the team spewed together. I am not a fan. I voted for the Mercurys name anyways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flynnagain Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 The Oil Kings have unveiled their new sweaters, during a press conference yesterday in Edmonton.Original article at: http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news...17-1e26717dab7ePersonally, I thought they could have done a little bit more with their design. I understand that the team wanted to have something traditional and conservative, but I find the sweater too be extremely generic. They look like an amateur version of the Moncton Wildcats. I love several CHL jerseys, like Chicoutimi, London, St. Mikes, Kelowna... and was hoping Edmonton would be able to do something that resonated like those jerseys. Unfortunately, for me, this falls flat.BTW, notice at the top of the Oil Kings crest, they have EST 1950. I find that extremely interesting for an expansion club, and it is clear that they are carrying over the history of the previous franchise, much like the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL.here's the scope.....they wanted the design to tie in with the original team look........the uni in the middle is the real deal -note, main logo is larger and reebok and whl logos are in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambulance Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Is it me or does the crest seem really high on the red sweater?Look how high doofie has the collar pulled up to his neck. I don't think there's anything wrong with the placement of the logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 This is what the Oil Kings looked like back in the good ol' days of the Dub. I'm assuming the jersey color is actually a deep orange, not red. That's pretty much what they looked like when I was a kid; that's what I was hoping they would like today. While I'd have preferred to see the lace-up collar, I'll take these over most of the hideous crap you see around junior hockey.Such as...?In the Dub, especially, I think most of the uniforms look pretty good. Swift Current needs to go back and Kelowna's leaves a little to be desired but overall the teams look pretty sharp.Call me a traditionalist, but I could live happily without ever having to see:? the Raiders' black set? the Pats' red alts? the hideous Hitmen logo. And may it take Kootenay's with it as well? Alas, the Broncos. What happened to simple prairie values?I'd like to see more of:? the Pats' old-style blue set (minus the red trim)? the Broncos in return to the blue/green combo or even back to the green/gold days? Brandon's old gold unisIt seems a certain theme is emerging. Time for my geritol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecticbro Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I like the Broncos' look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneRaizer Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Those blue and gold concepts are brilliant. As someone else said - modern with an old-school tribute. Great job on the creator, crappy job on the Oil Kings for not coming up with a design like that in the first place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevel Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 The color/body of the jersey being red I think clashes with the gold of the crown. I personally dont like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
