GMW79 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 The Thrashers just announced that they will be wearing their red alternates for every Friday home game.I wish they'd NEVER wear them. That's just me, though. Oh, its not just you, believe me.Add me to that list too. The Thrashers red football jerseys are the worst hockey uniforms since the Canucks' "V" sweaters. At least the V's were something original and not an attempt to make the team look like one from another sport. Why not just wear basketball jerseys or better yet NASCAR jumpsuits?Correct you on many things here. The Cacucks flying "V" sweaters were not the worst out there. For starters let's start off in Atlanta with their light blues which are extremely bad and then let's go to the Preditors sets until their currnt third, and let's not forget Edmonton's non-throwback edge, and the Islanders fishermen and orange cone jerseys, and even Washington's current set. If you really want to go bad, we can go to the minor leagues and start off with the IHL San Francisco Spiders. Also, no one in Nascar wears jumpsuits anymore. I think the last person to wear a jumpsuit was Junior Johnson last week when we was tendin' his 'Shine. I think you mean firesuits.I never said the V's were the worst out there. I said the Red Thrashers uni's are the worst since the V's. That doesn't even imply that I think the V's are the worst of all time. Bad? Yes, but the absolute worst? Not necessarily. Let's look at a simple progression: Canuck V's--Bad. Atlanta light blues--Worse. Atlanta reds--worst. As for your other examples, fair enough. Some of those are really bad, too. I am thankful for the NASCAR correction, though. I don't follow racing and have zero interest in it whatsoever, but if the proper terminology is "firesuit," then I'm happy to learn that. They look like jumpsuits to me, so it seemed like a fitting, non-technical term (I'm not going to nitpick if you call it a hockey "jersey" or a hockey "sweater.")Now, let me correct you on a few things. First, type in complete sentences ("Correct you on many things here." is not a sentence). Second, don't use run-on sentences (e.g. your third "sentence"). Third, learn how to spell. "Canucks;" not "Cacucks," "Predators;" not "Preditors," and "current;" not "currnt." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 I think I'll pick me up a John Carlson or Karl Alzner WC jersey. Classic, but not surprising.The disappointing thing is that the letters dont look to be individually sewn on like the originals, its just one big patch.

Sometimes, older is not automatically better.What else do you want them to do? It's the Winter Classic. Throwbacks (or fauxbacks) are a necessity. It's either this or the 90s slate blue, bronze, and black. I would say the set they went with is more indicative of a proper Capitals throwback. It's not the best uniform ever, in fact it has its flaws. For one Winter Classic game, however, it's fine.

Sometimes, older is not automatically better.You do know that this is for the Winter Classic, during which teams normally wear throwbacks, which is the reason for them unveiling this, right? Even then, it's only going to be worn somewhat sporadically over the season. Not like this is replacing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three players look like fat football linemen in that picture. If anything, it shows that the modernization Washington made really helped their look.

philly97flyer Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Ugh WHY RED HELMETS???? I get the red pants, that was worn with those jerseys for the inaugural year. But the red helmets were never worn with those jerseys, and aggrevate me as much as the black nameplates on the white Flyers jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally1912 Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Those are the regular jerseys, they'll have new ones sporting this logo for the game, since it's not the regular Giants team playing, but a mix of Giants and Elite league all-stars. Don't think they've revealed the jerseys yet though. It looks like the jerseys were more or less the same as the Giants' regular ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Could they not have sprung for some shoes for the caps jersey unveiling? Also, old out of shape alumni should never be shown in full gear. It just looks sad. Have them throw on the jersey over a dress shirt and some nice pants. Lets try to keep up the old dude's dignity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
