oddball Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 All these faux throwbacks are ridiculous and this trend along with the vintage white trend need to end. If you have a throwback, then by all means wear it. If you don't, please don't create one because they all look like crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't, please don't create one because they all look like crap.I like some of them.Now sometimes they're too derivative, but sometimes they are done for a reason and are fun.I like what the Flames did last year for example.And that Flyers jersey, I like it better than what they do use normally.Even if it isn't what they actually use, it's better than what they have--I like it.

habsfan1 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 The Columbus Blue Jackets are pretending to have been around since the 60s when in reality, they established themselves in 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 "From what I've been hearing" - from who?I like how the article mentions "DC Visual Arts", a "company" that seems to exist only in Facebook form. The link to his "official site" goes to a GoDaddy placeholder page."DC Visual Arts" is a guy here on the boards who's been doing Winter Classic concepts for years, half of them are directly ripped from other designers. He's been banned here a couple times. He's no "company." These are not the actual designs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 From the Lightning's official Twitter feed:Lightning are wearing black pants and helmets today before wearing the third jerseys on Saturday night.Wonder if they'll simply go with last year's pants, or if these will be a color inversion of the current blue shells. Either way, the Lightning oughta look good Saturday night, even with the "Bolts" across the front of the sweater.

twi Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 For what it's worth, there were no alternate jerseys for sale at the Lightning home opener last night. The images I've seen for the jersey used this year also lack the shoulder logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Reports coming out today that this IS the Flyers Winter Classic Jersey.Report can be found here.http://phillysportsd...classic-jersey/Word from the Flyers is that the jerseys will be announced "soon," but no official date has been set. A source said that the delay in the announcement was caused by Reebok, who will produce the authentic jerseys once they are officially unveiled.I think it is just a concept. The Flyers jersey does not have the "Reebok" logo on the backyea the pic is just a mock up but also from what ive been hearing this is almost 100% what it will look likeJust so you all know, unless the jersey's in this template:...it's probably a concept.

Someone at another board said these are on the discount rack at The Oilers Store and other apparel retailers around the city though, so this looks like their final season. At least the white ones are already gone.Kinda fitting that the worst uniforms in team history were worn during the darkest years of the franchise.

If the Islanders aren't going to go with an orange alternate the Oilers might as well do it.

IceCap Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Well I don't like that number font at all (it exaggerates everything I hated about the previous black and purple LA Kings number font), but I would be down with shoulder length lightning bolts for the Lightning.
