NHL 2010-2011

I actually agree that there's no reason for the old leaf to be on the shoulders of a modern jersey. It's one thing to have an alternate logo that compliments the primary, but in this case, the alternate actually competes with the primary, as they're simply different renderings of the same thing. There's no real good way to mix new and old on a jersey, and they should just keep the throwback stuff contained to that jersey, and build a solid identity around the Ballard leaf (that's what it's called, right?) on their primary jerseys.

I agree with your logic, but I think this new jersey in more retro than modern.

It's the closest thing to the mid-90s versions (you know the GOOD YEARS?).

Something that could have been nice actually would have been to keep old on shoulders, and ditched the chest logo for a script or wordmark ala Wild or Stars.

Still is a nice upgrade from the most boring NHL jersey ever to grace our rinks. And the colour is really nice in person.

I don't think they're competing at all. The shoulder logo's just depicting the name of the team in a different yet brand-inclusive way as the primary. Which I'm sure is the point of the alternate logo.

[Puck]

Also, I do NOT like the Leafs shoulder patch. Clutters up the sweater and adds nothing. Its just a leaf for a team called the Leafs... we get it.

You miss the point of logos.

Plus the shoulder patch ties the primary set in with the throwback alternate.

oh really, a team called the Leafs need three leafs on their sweater...

Ok buddy

You might as well argue why Basketball teams put basketballs in their logos since we already know they're a basketball team.

Orange letters.

Do the Wild have a new shoulder patch?

Do the Wild have a new shoulder patch?

From the looks of it, they've replaced this with this, sans bear head logo. Kinda weird that they put a gold outline surrounding it, making it obvious that it's a patch.

[NEW.ERA]

Well NHL 11 has the wordmark on the shoulder but I know EA Sports isn't the best place to find out Uniform unveiling's.

Man Josh Harding got Fuc*ed up.

Anyways NHL 11 was right.

Gawd, Minnesota, just keep making it worse. Ugh.

Gawd, Minnesota, just keep making it worse. Ugh.

That does look terrible, doesn't it?

Yes it does. They should rip those patches off and put the 10yr anniversary patch on one of the shoulders. More pics:

Once again, the penguins put the patch on one shoulder instead of on the chest, where it'd look better.

That said, they do need some regular-time shoulder patches (on both shoulders). This jersey is too plain.

[JQK]

I actually think the Penguins have one of the cleanest looks in the NHL. My only gripe is the Vegas Gold. That color needs to be replaced with Pittsburgh Gold as soon as possible.

[Ramrod]

Once again, the penguins put the patch on one shoulder instead of on the chest, where it'd look much, much better.

Still saying it after 3 years: They really need some shoulder patches. This jersey is much too plain.

You complain that the team put a patch on the shoulder, then say they really need some shoulder patches?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, yeah.

The patch is only for the first season in the new rink. It'll be gone by the 2011-2012 season, so it's not a permanent solution to the logo-less shoulders.

I don't think that was the point, Capper. Maz bitched about the logo being on the shoulders, then said the Penguins needed shoulder patches. His argument would have made more sense if he stated "Wow, those patches look good on the shoulders, see how nice regular shoulder patches would look for the Pens?"

Probably.

Either way it looks awful here. They need to move it up some more.

[Lee.]

It needs to be on top of the shoulders, not dry humping the numbers on the arms.
