swilson160 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Can't wait to see the eventual third jerseys for the Leafs and Canadiens, with a slanting wordmark of "Buds" and "Habs", respectively... awesome idea!If Toronto can combine that idea with a throwback to the green jerseys of the St. Pats, I'm all in.

CC97 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I don't like the Idea of the Lightning putting the team nickname's nickname on an official team jersey. It's okay if announcers and fans use it as an abbreviation, but to put it on the jersey? You might as well just rename the team the Tampa Bay Bolts. It'd be like if the Florida Marlins released an alternate teal jersey that read 'fish'.Throwing media/fan nicknames on jerseys is how most teams got the "official" names we all know and love todayWell that may be, but Tampa Bay already has an official name. Like I said, you might as well rename the team. I thought of a better example, if the Cleveland Indians starting wearing red jerseys that said "Tribe" on them. Same thing.or the Warriors wearing "The City" or to a lesser extent the Jays, Rays (01-07), Sox, Cavs (80s-90s), Sonics, Blazers, D-Backs,... --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwing64 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I know a bit off topic here, but since we are looking at NHL 09, is it going to be on PC as well or just Xbox 360 and PS3? That would suck because there are so many custom jerseys that people have put onto the NHL games for PC.Yes, NHL 09 is coming out for PC. Just don't be suprised if it turns out to be yet another re-release of NHL 05.I don't think this has been posted yet but, it provides a better visual look into what the 3rds might look like for some teams.Jersey Database blogMost of the jerseys shown there look sweet, but it's a shame that Dallas won't be having a green jersey.

rapideyemovement Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I hereby dub that new Coyotes jersey "The Roadkill." it is written for all time.Somebody's already beaten you to it:That man is wise. Now it has to stick.Not to be a picky peter, but that man is actually a woman - Thresher over on Hfboards, Sharks forum. Just gotta give her credit!

letterform Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I wonder what the habs 4 alt jerseys are going to be. Their first few uniforms are vastly different from what they wear nowadays so they have a lot of options. I wonder if they'll wear their first year blue and white uniform or the barberpole uniforms. That would be interesting. DEATH TO REEBOK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 What's wrong with the Flying Coyote logo? I think it's classy, and it certainly beats the howler.

aryehz99 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 What about "Mavs" written on those green alternates? What do we all think of that? I would say that it goes kinda unnoticed given the fact that the viewer is overwhelmed by the brightness of the green, and because of "mavs" not being the central feature of the jersey, the shortform is acceptable. However, regarding the Sens and Bolts, these shortforms would probably stand out much more as focal points of the jerseys, and that is why I am not to keen on the idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmeadowlanders Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Without reading through this whole thread (I've read the last 3 pages or so), does anyone know if we'll be seeing this returning this season?I'm going to guess that if that blog didn't have anything on it, then the answer is no...which disappoints me.

Also features the Coyote's "leaping Coyote" logo and Edmonton's supposedly 30th anniversary logo.Very little creativity, very little appeal. Could have been better.Here's the description of the jersey....The Kings will unveil a predominantly black jersey with the letters ?L A? inside a pencil-point logo on the front. Broad white stripes will adorn each arm. A thin white stripe will run horizontally on each side of the jersey, just beneath the shoulder. There are no stripes at the bottom of the uniform. The color purple ? widely evident in the Kings? primary jersey ? will likely be featured in the number outlines of the alternate, though the photo copy I have doesn?t clearly show it. A better idea would have been a reprise of the Kings? original purple and gold uniforms from 1967, but the club marketers are apparently not bent on tradition.I keep thinking it's going to look "ok" or "not as bad as I thought" but I'm sure I'm going to vomit when it's revealed.
