T-ROY Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I like Arizona's new jerseys. They could have been better, but they are nice nonetheless, especially on ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynasty Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I think blocked number fonts are incredibly overused (especially in hockey). Some teams should go with something that isn't totally original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Somehow those Arizona jerseys look even worse in action. 1 Quote Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!

Morgan33 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 They're so fragmented... Like they took several uniform designs and mashed them together for the hell of it. The road version comes off slightly better in those photographs, but the sleeves are still an absolute mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 No consistency in that striping at all. Needs a bit of black somewhere at the bottom of that striping. The Texas Stars did it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinsUp1214 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 To be honest, I actually really like the whites in action. It's the brick jersey that's the problem for me; whereas the whites provide a base that allows for contrast and each element to be seen clearly, the brick sort of muddles with the black and doesn't look as sharp.

monkeypower Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I will admit they don't look as bad to me as they did when they were unveiled, but it does look like a mishmash of jerseys and it's not good. Especially the home one, the black stripe gets lost on the socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Not really a uniform related unpopular opinion, but more a naming-related one: I dislike when teams use a state/region name when they are not the only team nearby. For example, "Carolina Panthers" is fine because there is no other NFL team in the Carolinas, but I disliked "California Angels" because there were clearly other teams in California.The only one I give a pass to is "Texas Rangers" because it's named for a real law-enforcement group, and let's face it, "Dallas Rangers" doesn't have the same ring to it.

To me, California Kings sounds just as good as the LA Kings (and better than the unabbreviated Los Angeles Kings). Adding in teams that recently changed their names, you have the California Angels, California (Golden) Seals, and Florida Marlins. All of which sound good.

FinsUp1214 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 What about Florida Marlins, which sounds a lot better than Miami Marlins IMO How?"Miami Marlins" sort of twists my tongue. "Florida Marlins" is much smoother and flows better. Aside from that, "Florida" is just a beautiful word. I'm sure that might be a weird thing to say, but I don't know how else to describe it. It's just a fluid word. I don't really feel "Miami" shares that, for some reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 "Miami Marlins" is much better: it's alliterative, more specific, and ties in with the historical minor-league team. All state names other than Minnesota are awful. Multi-state names (New England, Carolina) are even more awful. No, Kraft Productions, you're not from six different states at once. EDIT: will wait for WSU151 to tell me that they are from six different states at once 2 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 And they changed it soon after there was another team in FloridaThe rays started in 1998, Marlins changed to miami in 2012, that sure as hell not soon after the rays got there.

But I don't think we have to worry about seeing the Illinois Cubs or Illinois White Sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
