IronChefShark Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 well Im hoping that the alternate jerseys are something more than just a home jersey with the secondary color switching places with the primary color and the alternate logo on the crest and the primary on the shoulders.that seems to be what every concept on this community illustrates US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Now, ON topic...I really don't like the W logo as a main crest for the Caps. I actually don't like it even being in their package, because while it is a pretty cool work, it just doesn't go with their identity. I think that a blue jersey (in their current style), with red and even a little gold trim would work better. Blue and gold are typically associated with special events, distinctions, or ceremonies in our nation's history, so I think that a more "formal" looking uniform would be appropriate as a "special occasion" alt.Are you talking gold as in what the Ducks use or gold as in what the Capitals used to use?I think the old style bronze or whatever it was called would look amazing with that shade of blue. Although I am not sure red would mix well with it...And yes, I'll take what you said into consideration, I didn't realize I was coming across like that. It just sometimes sucks when you add something and don't get the kind of recognition other people get for contributing similar information. It can get to you after awhile and maybe that is why I have acted that way. I'll try to watch out for it.I guess I was thinking more like the gold they used to use, but yeah, it may not look great up against the red. Maybe something like what the Washington Nats use, since that works against both red and blue. I'm assuming it's a different shade of gold.

I'm picturing a blue jersey with the Capitals logo all in the Nat's gold colour... with gold piping on the arms and the sleve patches being stars that are either red outlined with a gold centre or vice versa or gold outlined with white inside. Maybe I fell on my head this morning but in my mind this jersey looks fantastic!! Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

westcoastoiler Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 if someone has the time (and i'm sure someone does), I'd love to see a mock up of these Oiler 3rds that are rumoured to be a throwback to the 80's orange and blue with a lace collar.

habsfan1 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 RBK and the NHL to break all ties at the end of THIS SEASON????The guy from ToL just posted this on his site. I do not know where the seed of this idea got planted, but if I didn't post this, someone else would have probably done it. Could it be true? If they are dumped, I think the fans did their part, by not bying Oilers or Avs edge jerseys.I was asked not to write about this, but I can't do that to you guys. As NHL fans, you have the right to know. I've been told the league will be dropping the Rbk EDGE uniforms entirely next season and is cutting all ties with Reebok. Naturally, this news comes as quite a shock considering all the time and money that was put into the project in the first place. My Reebok rep called it a "failed experiment" and said the split with the NHL was "best for both parties."The continuation of the story here.

I don't want to deal with people claiming this as truth, lol. Too many holes exist in that story as well... what would Crosby do with his big ass contract with RBK and all those other players who use their equipment? (I think I am looking too much into this...)Yes I know I'm a bit of a buzz kill. Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

Neon_Matrix Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Ah I forgot april fool's day was today.Haha, no worries man. It is pretty funny. I found the rest of the article and got a few laughs from it. Tuesday, April 1, 2008Rbk EDGE Being Dumped!As you know, I hate to post rumor and gossip. I prefer actual facts to back up my information so naturally I was unsure about posting this at all. But since I started this blog, I've made contacts with a lot of great people inside the NHL and Reebok. (Honestly, how do you think I was able to get much of the information I did over the summer?)I was asked not to write about this, but I can't do that to you guys. As NHL fans, you have the right to know. I've been told the league will be dropping the Rbk EDGE uniforms entirely next season and is cutting all ties with Reebok. Naturally, this news comes as quite a shock considering all the time and money that was put into the project in the first place. My Reebok rep called it a "failed experiment" and said the split with the NHL was "best for both parties."What might be most surprising is the league is discussing redesigning all 30 uniforms once again! (Like once wasn't enough.) A new deal is still being worked out, but right now it appears league commissioner Gary Bettman would consider having the folks at Bravo TV series Project Runway design the new sweaters in one of next season's new episodes. Manufacturing would then be handled by Nike, believe it or not.My source (who I unfortunately can't name due to legal issues) inside the league says Bettman is "delighted" at the prospect of getting the league this sort of national television recognition. I'm tempted to take him at his word as that sounds just like Bettman to me. Not surprisingly, this is going to make the NHL look like a complete joke on the national stage.Personally, I really think they should have just stuck it out for at least one more season. Sure, the Rbk EDGE system had its issues, but so do most new things. On the other hand, the prospect of new uniform designs is kind of exciting. But we just went through it last year. This is just overkill and rather annoying.Finally, I just wanted to take the time to thank you guys for continuing to visit the blog. Without you, I certainly wouldn't be where I am. News regarding these uniform changes will supposedly start trickling out as the playoffs wind down. Looks like we'll be doing the uniform re-design watch for yet another summer.I'll post more information on this as I get it.And Oakland, nice try changing your responce. I saw what it was originally. It totallllly got ya! Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGodfather Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I really wish the Lightning would use their shoulder patch as a third jersey logo.It's such a cool logo and is rarely used, but would be much much better than Bolts written on it.

It is a very nice looking logo, although it looks a little too much like this...Which, let me tell you, is not a good thing. I don't think the people who support the Lightning will want to be mistaken as being supporters of the British Union of Fascists...Although, it would be cool to see the Lightning's new slogan being "action through unity."
