hormone Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Again, I'll say that I'm not a fan of most of these jerseys. It's either a boring wordmark or a throwback for throwbacks sake. I am also against (for personal reasons, although I think the sweater is nice) Pitts going blue. I will say that I'll take the winter classic jersey over another black jersey, gold sleeves, the number on the chest and the word Pens going diagonal down the chest. I'm sure that's what we would have gotten (or gold with black sleeves) if there wasn't so much praise over the WC jersey and a societal boner for powder blue.

Flame Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I like: Thrashers script, Sabres with silver, Full body Coyote, 'Bolts' scriptDislike: Coyotes new alt logo and scriptthe script doesn't go well with their identity, and the alt logo is so bland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Not a fan at all of the Coyotes new logos.The paw print is way too generic. The script belongs in baseball. The leaping coyote is way out of perspective: the leg that is supposed to be behind the other back leg is somehow bigger? Boo-urnsAre you shouting Boo or Boo-urns?

Legion Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Los Angeles Kings, Ottawa Senators, and St. Louis Blues are "TBD"So, maybe faint hope that Ottawa didn't go with the rumoured "Sens" on the jerseys? I'm really hoping the updated profile logo they unveiled last year actually you know...appears on a jersey. SENS is just lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The pics ASM posted of the Coyotes new alternate are awesome! The main logo looks good and the shoulder logo has that vintage feel to it.Which is just perfect, for a team that first took the ice in 1997. Minnesota Wild have always been credited with a vintage style look...and they started after Phoenix. So... beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyischremp44 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Is there a better free program than just using MS Paint to create these high quality realistic looking mock ups of jerseys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheateater Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Los Angeles Kings, Ottawa Senators, and St. Louis Blues are "TBD"...I'm still having trouble visualizing LA's "pencil-point" logo. Anyone care to venture a guess as to how it may look?

DRutka Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Since the Sabres added silver to the logo, I wonder if they will add it to the jerseys.Something like this maybe...From what I can tell, this is how I think the Sabres logo looks...

The main logo looks good and the shoulder logo has that vintage feel to it.Which is just perfect, for a team that first took the ice in 1997. That's what I've been saying about the Minnesota Wild. They jerseys are nice, but the team really doesn't warrant a vintage-type jersey.So they're supposed to have some garish monstrosity as befitting their status as a newbie team? Ergh. Vintage-styling should not be only afforded to the older teams. Some of the young'uns have taste, too.Especially Minnesota, which is a very passionate hockey state....With a very long, rich hockey history at many levels. That's why they can do a vintage look, and Phoenix can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I think any team can pull off a classic uniform. No need for the rookies to dress like clowns until they become veterans.Look like you've been there before, boys. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

ColeJ Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I think any team can pull off a classic uniform. No need for the rookies to dress like clowns until they become veterans.Look like you've been there before, boys.But isn't it silly for cities like Phoenix, Dallas, Anaheim and Nashville to try to pull off the "old-time hockey" vibe?firstly, i don't see dallas as wearing "retro" inspired uniforms like minnesota, as much as they just wear simple and respectable uniforms. arched-text on the front of a uniform has been by colleges for years, and the rangers in the nhl for a short period of time, so it's not like their home/alternate uniforms are going original-six... and there's nothing at all "traditional" about the collars or front-numbers on the stars uniforms as a whole. i think you're confusing simplicity with retro, which i don't agree with. not every team needs to look like the florida panthers or st. louis blues new uniforms.secondly, there are only 6 teams in the NHL that have been around longer than the stars, so i think they can pull off a classic look if they want. saying the stars shouldn't wear simple classic uniforms, because they've only been in their current market for 15 years is ridiculous.should the arizona cardinals have changed uniforms to be less traditional every time they moved to a new city? should the colts have drastically modernized their look when they moved to indy? the raiders in their oakland/los angeles/oakland swaps?while it's not always the best fairy-tale story, there are many professional sports teams that have rich and interesting histories that are independent of any specific city. as long as the team wants to honor and remember it's past (like the dodgers, cardinals, stars, flames, hornets, and jazz, to name a few), they should be allowed to. i'd hate it if the dallas stars had nothing to do with the minnesota north stars history. i'm lucky that the stars go out of their way to remember their roots. it sure beats teams that try to pretend they're an expansion team (coyotes, okc-nba, avalanche, etc). in my eyes at least.
