wildwing64 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Ducks also debuting their patch for Ruslan Salei tonight. It's a black patch with "24" in their current white numbers with the gold outline. Not only does it kinda look weird because it's a black patch on a black jersey (You really just see the "24"), but also, Ruslan Salei never wore Black/Gold/Orange. Salei only wore the eggplant/jade. The patch would've been miles better with the era appropriate colors. They should also be wearing it longer than a month before auctioning them off, but whatever.Ah well, at least it's something.If anything, just a plain white number 24 in the Ducks' old number font would've be more appropriate. As it is right now it just looks like a miniature front number.Nevertheless, it's a nice tribute. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Pittsburgh and Washington wore a locomotive patch last night:I wish the NHL had all of the teams do this, at least for one game, just to express solidarity with the KHL and to express remembrance for the former NHLers who died in the crash.A lot of teams are wearing memorial patches. I know the Devils on opening night wore a patch in memory of Rachunek and Vasyunov (both former Devils) who died in the crash. They plan on wearing the patch again for their first road game tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Clemente Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Here's a mockup of the Salei tribute patch the Ducks are wearing on the front of their jersey where most other commemorative patches would go: Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours.

trondolsen Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 My most hated design of the NHL is clearly the Canes jerseys, how could you forget them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 That is their pre-edge jersey. I actually like their current uniforms. I think the red letters with the black trim really pops on their road jerseys.

Xodius Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I've always liked Carolina's jerseys. It's pretty damn unique and recognizable and wasn't too affected by the EDGE transformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Same for me. The Canes have by far one of the best uniform sets in the NHL, and I don't think they're a team that needs rebranding anytime soon. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Well they should drop their black alternates. Whoever designed that sweater completely missed the point of the hurricane warning flag striping. The home and roads are nice though.

eliminator jr Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Pretty sure that rumor was about Nashville. #craigadams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Pretty sure that rumor was about Nashville.They were planning to use their alt as their home, with a white version as the away. Then they decided just to call that a "special event uniform", and rebrand with gold, not blue and silver. It was the right choice IMO. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Is it the gold jersey as the dark jersey? Because the Boston Bruins wore gold as their dark for much of their pre 1967 history. The L.A. Kings and Vancouver Canucks have wore gold as thier light jersey as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYYNYR Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I think the Canes have all the makings of a semi-classic sweater. It's a familiar color palette, but their hem stripes, strong secondary marks (the flags) are both meaningful (representing the storm warning) and different from all other striping. I give them kudos even. The main logo is a bit...meh, but I think they have a strong jersey that is easily recognizable.This is going to come off as sounding childish/strange, but I like the red and black helmets they chose. They are vibrant and have a quasi-sheen to them. Especially the black...am i dreaming on this? They come across as very Vader-like. I don't get that sense with other black helmets.

May as well have been the Isles, seeing as they can't seem to make logical decisions in jerseys or buisness. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

kw11333 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I like the Canes jerseys, very unique. When I turn on the TV I should recognize the team right away, although the Jets jerseys have grown on me, they don't stick out at all. They are not ugly, but they are nothing special.If teams are going to wear numbers on the front of their helmets, can we get rid of numbers on the front of the jerseys? Takes up too much room; if the Sharks go to the final they would have to put the Stanley Cup patch right next to their captaincy letters. It kinds works for the Wings, but it would just look like a mess for the Sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aawagner011 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Part of the issue with the Jets might simply be lack of playing time or television exposure. We're just not used to seeing them with regularity. Give it a year or two and you'll be flipping on the tv saying "ah, its Winnipeg tonight" immediately.
