The team only gets one trophy There are other ways to reward individuals for team accomplishments. FWIW, French league and league cup both give out mini-trophies but my preference is medals, as is done in the Olympics and most other competitions outside North America. You receive them right after the game and not months later, maybe after having changed teams. They’re given out by the competition instead of the team, and the officials greeting the losers first is great. Plus the team is actually handed the trophy instead of it being handed out to the owners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTConcepts Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 These helmets aren't bad on their own. If they were unveiled along with the team's normal identity a few years back, it would've been totally fine. Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

DTConcepts Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'll go ahead and double post - while they're nothing new or exciting, the Isles' Reverse Retros are great on the ice. They should be the team's full-time look. This team looks better in navy. Them against the new Sabres away jerseys may be one of the best uniform matchups in quite some time. 10 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

DustDevil61 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I don't know if it quite fits here, but the Winnipeg Jets' (v2.0) overall identity has really grown on me. The logo seemed underwhelming when it first came out, but it, along with the home, road, and alternate sets, by and large was designed (intentional or not) with a certain level of staying power, which is especially ironic given how quickly everything was apparently put together. 6 Quote AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest thing is the chrome effect--make those more of a traditional metallic flake sheen such as on a football helmet (to match the gold on their jerseys) and they're really onto something. 2 Quote AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with more of a Notre Dame gold flake finish. Blingy enough to be tied to a Las Vegas team, but not as ridiculous as chrome. 6 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just match it as best as you can with the shiny material on the jersey. And since I’m on the subject: I wished a handful more NHL/AHL/ECHL/Upper level college/junior/etc. hockey teams would apply football aesthetics to their helmets. Think along the lines of the University of Michigan’s helmets. It can’t be any worse than helmet ads, right? 2 Quote AKA @LanRovr0 on Twitter LED Sig Credits to packerfan21396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few NHL teams where the away/white jersey is more interesting than the home (and I was impressed when I saw someone on the street wearing one...it looks great in person). In 2011 I was hoping for a return to an 80s or 90s Jets look, but the current set has aged pretty well. 3 Quote Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Don't know if this is unpopular, but I think navy is the worst color in sports. Besides the teams that have used it historically (Yankees, Red Sox, etc.), no one should use it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I like Navy in general, though it might be overused. Not sure how unpopular this is but I think the Bears are by far the "drabbest" team in the NFL. I admit that I don't know much about pantones, etc. but if you look at the Islanders photo above, I think it's a decent look. I believe (someone correct me if I am wrong) that the Bears blue is darker. I think if their blue looked like the Islanders (i.e., a bit lighter) or if it was just black instead of blue (i.e., like the Bengals), I'd like their look a lot better. But their shade is kind of in this weird in-between spot that just doesn't appeal to me. If I am wrong about the darkness of the Bears's color, then it must be something about the way they balance their colors. 2 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Islanders use a lot more orange than the bears do, so it could impact it. Quote Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears blue is definitely much darker than your average navy, it borders on black. I am in agreement that Chicago is probably the "drabbest" team in the league after the Jets rebrand.

That's an unpopular opinion?

When I worked in junior hockey in Canada, we had a tradition where teams would add stripes to their helmets with tape when they made the playoffs. It was a nice change from the usual and felt like a reward. 1 Quote On September 20, 2012 at 0:50 AM, 'CS85 said: It's like watching the hellish undead creakily shuffling their way out of the flames of a liposuction clinic dumpster fire.
