loogodude90 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm glad they left red out of their alternate. With red it looks too similar to their exisiting home jersey. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evanmaldonado Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 But without the red it looks similar to every other navy blue third. I like it. It looks a lot better than the current one, though I did like the silver piping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second version will have it for sure, though.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I like the circle logo. I know it's been over-used in the recent past, but I think the Jackets get a pass on this one. As far as the colours, yes it's much too close to a few too many others...maybe even black instead of the lighter blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With red it looks too similar to their exisiting home jersey.You can't seriously think that the above concept looks ANYTHING like their current jerseys, can you?I can seriously think that. I'm just saying I'm glad they left out the red because it distinguishes their alternate jersey from their primary home jersey. If they are going to have two jerseys of the same color, they should at least make them look unique from each other, and one way to do that is to avoid using all of the same colors for both jerseys. The Boston Celtics did it (with black), the Houston Rockets did it (with yellow), and now the Blue Jackets have done it (with red).This is true not only from a "this jersey is different from the other one we wear, so it has a reason to exist" standpoint, but also from a marketing standpoint. Fans would be less likely to buy a third jersey that looks too similar (i.e. is the same main color, and uses all the same trim colors) to an existing primary jersey.

If they were entirely red, I can see the problem with that, but not as an accent.

hockey week Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I really don't mean to thread-jack, but I think finding the compromise between everyone, and what would personally be my preferred fix, would be this:Keep both blues, which I think is a nice touch, has similarities to their current looks, and eliminates the complaint of "no contrast". Also, there's vintage white, which I think we all can agree doesn't need to be there. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i think the stripes might look better if you switch the white and silver. Also, it NEEDS shoulder patches ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Any sort of modeling after military uniforms is rather gauche. Unless you're the Brampton Battalion and you enter the ice through an inflatable tank from a party rental. Then it's cute! ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
