I think the midnight green look is a far more unique one. leave brighter greens to the Jets. The most tired take on here is that every single team in each league has to have an absolutely unique color scheme at all costs. There is literally no reason the Jets couldn't wear the same color as the Eagles - and they don't even wear kelly anyways. That being said, the Eagles have worn midnight my entire life so that's just how they look to me. The kellies are fine but they don't seem like the Eagles to me. I'd assume someone older would feel the opposite. On a separate note, they should pick one or the other. Throwbacks only serve to dilute the brand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally never liked them but appreciated their uniqueness and definitely prefer them to anything they've worn since. (Like the logo; don't like the asymmetrical stripes; appreciate the eggplant even though I didn't love it.) The question is whether this opinion is unpopular (I legitimately don't know). Anaheim Ducks is a fine name. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim was a silly name not fit for an NHL team.

Anaheim Ducks is a fine name. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim was a silly name not fit for an NHL team. I don't see how it's out of place in a league with the Lightning, Wild, and Kraken. Even worse is those latter two are in traditional hockey markets so them having goofy minor league names is a terrible aesthetic imo. That said, I like both names the Ducks have had.

No argument on those names being bad. I think they're a product of the need to have a unique name at all costs. But I would call them minor league as much as I'd simply call them "lame." Actually I don't think of "Mighty Ducks of Anaheim" as minor league. I think of it as very unserious...something that I know a lot of people appreciate in sports. So it's all about tastes, anyway, I guess. To me, that one was worse than simply a "bad name." The funny thing is that while I knew they were named after the "Mighty Ducks" movie, I still thought they were the Anaheim Ducks for a while because I don't think using "Mighty" in an NHL name even occurred to me. Then at some point, I thought they were the Anaheim Mighty Ducks before finally realizing they were the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. I believe the NY Jets were originally the Titans of New York...and while Titans is an OK, albeit unspectacular, name, the whole "of New York" thing is just silly, in my opinion. Now, had the "Rocky Mountain Extreme" come to fruition, that would have taken the cake. That would have covered just about every terrible naming approach. I suppose "Extreme of the Rocky Mountains" would have been needed to obtain true perfection.

That's one of those quirks I really liked. The Spirits of St. Louis from the ABA did it the best. It's a simple way to differentiate yourself while only slightly altering the naming formula. It would be annoying if it became a trend though. Once in a generation is enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 This is best looking jersey the Blue Jackets have had in their 23 year history. I absolutely love it, especially the minor inclusion of neon-green on the right shoulder patch. Normally, things like having a base colour found nowhere else on the uniform, having red exclusively on the logos & number or using both black & navy would bother me... But against all odds, this uniform comes together and just looks fantastic. It should be their full-time home with a matching white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like my proposal that ended nonsensical realignment derailments, maybe there should be the "Pointless Uniform Predictions Outpost" thread. It's one thing to speculate at throwback games, but when people are posting helmet/jersey/pants/sock combos for all 17 games, it's a little much. I'm not sure if nobody cares, but I can't imagine why anyone would. I certainly don't. 2 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."
