IceCap Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That's his best mask yet. Reminds me of Hextall's arrow-based designs.

Bayne Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Definitely his best mask to date. I thought his current one was his best so far, but this new one is better yet. Love Luongo's taste. He's got style. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 If the Flyers don't win the Cup I hope the Lightning do simply to see how abso-****ing-lutely bizarre it would be in the way they handle championship merchandise and so forth. Imagine seeing a Stanley Cup Champs t-shirt with a logo the team never wore while winning said championship.That happened in England a couple years ago, when Chelsea won the Premiership after unveiling new logos for the following season. All the championship merchandise had the new logo, which was also the first merchandise with the new logo for sale. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

oddball Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Sure, Luongo's mask is cool, but I'm surprised no one has even brought up the awesomeness of Jonathan Quick's retro gear with a mask painted up to look like Rogie Vachon's mask with ears included.If you want more pictures, they are here: http://ingoalmag.com/masks/quicks-retro-mask-and-gear-for-canucks-40th-anniversary-home-opener/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Quick gets my nod for best-dressed player of the year. I mean, look at that pic. He's got Rogie's mask, sure, but then he goes absolutely balls-out with the pads, adds on a natural wood-colored stick, and appears to have taken a purple marker to the Vaughn logo on his pants to make it blend in better - after all, there weren't big pants logos in 1970.

They didn't have names on that jersey (purple version) until the last 4 years they wore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakonius26 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 With all these actions of teams, even sunbelt ones, rebranding themselves in their original colors, perhaps all hope is not lost that the Kings will follow suit. At least, assuming they do it tastefully of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kings 2002-03 to 2006-07 jerseys looked far better than anything they've worn in their history. Shame the design was butchered, like so many jerseys, during switch to Edge.

knnhrvy16 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I think the Kings have been fortunate in that every identity they've had has looked great, including this current identity. That being said, I am partial to the original colors and I even like the old crown alot. I'm only 18 turning 19 in a month, so it's not a nostalgia thing at all for me, I just think the forum blue (or purple, whatever you want to call it) and gold fit. They fit not just a regal identity, but for some reason it just seems more Los Angelesy than black and silver. Had the Raiders stayed in Los Angeles, then maybe itd still fit (or at least seem like it could), but it doesn't quite do so anymore. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I preferred those Kings sweaters when they had the shield as the primary. Also, the number font is awful. Just because you can have a custom font doesn't necessarily mean you should.

wildwing64 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I preferred those Kings sweaters when they had the shield as the primary.As do I. Maybe it was a bit busy in comparison, but it looked much better. I've probably said this countless times already, but the crown they use as their primary now looks as if it's got a wimpy, frightened looking pair of eyes. And no matter how hard I try, I just cannot unsee them. Should I not be intimidated by, instead of intimidating, this rival team's logo?

What I meant was those jerseys minus the wordmark would have been the perfect look for the Kings. Minus that dreadful purple alt. What is with that neckline anyways?I preferred those Kings sweaters when they had the shield as the primary. Also, the number font is awful. Just because you can have a custom font doesn't necessarily mean you should.Disagree. That shield logo was a little too complex and detailed to be the primary logo where as the crown while stylized is pretty simple and to the point (Hockey sticks at the top are a nice touch too). Number font was fine. Im getting a little tired of every team going with a Block font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
