oddball Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Any chance they use that sharp, Kings-like font on the jerseys?, I hope not. It's the worst part of the Kings' identity, to have another team latch onto it would be suicidal.As a die-hard Kings fan, I completely agree with yo that the Kings number font is the worst part of their uniform. It's just to friggin' cutesy, just like the Ducks font they use. Cutesy is good for teddy bears, but not for hockey uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 The new alternate has just been unveiled, according the HFBoards. Too bad I don't have the game channel, but someone will likely post something any minute now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randyc Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'd like it more if it had some red in it, but other than that I don't really care for it, too bland for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksupilot Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Apparently they unveiled a new mascot as well. I don't know about that move, kinda like Stinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1409 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 http://bluejackets.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=66112LOVE IT!!!!!It looks way better than their regular jerseys... The colors fit the union theme perfectly and traditional stripes will always be better than bland vertical edge piping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffDawg Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I don't like the absence of red, but I love the jerseys overall. The crest is gorgeous and if that number font would eventually replace Copperplate on the home and road, I'd be thrilled. There comes a point when you don't stand for the constant heartbreak anymore, and walk away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vman Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 It's definitely not one of the worst thirds around, but after Pittsburgh, Florida and Nashville, why have another navy/light blue/off white jersey?, and why have the logo in a circle? The "Steel Blue" stripes and collar also seem to be a bit too bright/teal-like and don't really flow with the rest of the jersey (not to mention the redundant piping on the shoulders, which would have looked better without it). The name/number font is also mismatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rams80 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 By itself, the jersey looks pretty good. My biggest complaint is that it doesn't gibe well with the rest of the identity package.Mr. Butts the mascot, though, could probably have stayed on the drawing board.

GMW79 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'd like it more if it had some red in it, but other than that I don't really care for it, too bland for me.They aren't necessarily too bland for me, but I agree, there should have been some red in it. The lack of red makes the "cementing an identity" line from the promo vid a bit suspect.It's definitely not one of the worst thirds around, but after Pittsburgh, Florida and Nashville, why have another navy/light blue/off white jersey?, and why have the logo in a circle? The "Steel Blue" stripes and collar also seem to be a bit too bright/teal-like and don't really flow with the rest of the jersey (not to mention the redundant piping on the shoulders, which would have looked better without it). The name/number font is also mismatched.While I like Nashville's change, and I liked the Pens' first Winter Classic sweaters, this navy/light blue trend is getting ridiculous. At least Columbus didn't use powder blue, and went with a different shade of light blue. I also can't stand RBK Edge striping and piping and prefer more traditional striping, all the fauxback sweaters are starting to get tired too. Too much of a good thing.All that being said, I don't know if I like the Jackets 3rds, but I don't dislike them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
