I'm not so sure about that. I loved the ones last year, and I should like this year's one. But the striping pattern doesn't work. With anything in design, it looks better when the darker color is the outline/separating stripe. Seriously, look at any logo. But going Y/R/N/R/Y just looks bad. Last year's stripes looked better Y/N/R/N/Y.

I think the Panthers new home jersey is absolutely hideous. The red is eye-searingly bright, the blue directly on the red looks terrible, and the template (which I actually like), looked much better with blue as the main color. I was very excited for the return to red, but they blew that opportunity in the worst way possible

At first I HATED the Jets' idea of stripes going over the blue on their arms. Then I realized that if they didn't, they'd just be filling in the RBK template with no creativity or originality, a la Edmonton's and Florida's stripes that don't go all the way around.

Yeah I know it's fake but I posted it cause I think it's a really nice fake.

You felt that it was a "really nice" fake, yet captioned the pic "dum dum dum"?

It's pretty clearly a counterfeit, probably based of of someone's concept, just like the Flyers-Quakers jersey that is all over the place now.

Good... but not good enough. Needs more white.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Adding some white to the striping and adding hem stripes would have gone a long way here. As it stands, it's just a mess of a different color.

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

Exactly, which is why I thought this was a better idea:

Make those hem stripes follow the contour of the hem and you have a winner!!!

The Cats red is not perfect by any means, but it has grown on me. It looks A LOT better on the ice then it does when we saw it first unveiled without pads and the rest of the uniform.

The fact that it's red and not that stupid double blue alternate makes it a winner in my book.

I really wish the Hurricanes would quietly drop the phantom shoulder yokes. They do nothing to enhance the original, cup winning look. As for the Black thirds, I could do without them. They are beginning to look really dated with those filmstrip hem stripes and bizarre monochrome shoulder patches.

I'd like to see them use proper hurricane flags along the hem, or even go with straight red and gray stripes instead, replicating what's on the sleeves. I love the rest of the look, though, including the shoulder patches. Those look fantastic on the authentics.
