kw11333 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 So who cares if one team wears a certain jersey more? Dallas wears their white jersey at least 12 times a year(NFL). Let a team like Calgary wear read a lot, it would really drive it home, that, that is their identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 NFL - one game a week.NHL - lengthy roadtrips. Packing multiple sets to travel in.It doesn't work out the same way, at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin W. Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I still say the NHL should allow color vs. color when appropriate. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Still means packing two sets on road-trips, more often than not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 NFL - one game a week.NHL - lengthy roadtrips. Packing multiple sets to travel in.It doesn't work out the same way, at all.It could easily be worked out prior to the season. It is not THAT much extra work. Caps, Leafs, and Habs have all worn two separate jerseys during different road trips this year. They often don't wear the exact same jerseys each game on the road trip anyways. They get damaged and stained a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 i don't mean to make it sound like the stars kelly green alternate will never see the light of day. it very well might.i just know that it was shelved until after the new owner took over. so now that he's taken over, who knows what will happen to it. depends on how he likes it, i guess.

hockey week Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Colour v colour is usually never appropriate on tv.If the colours contrast enough it'll work. Especially in the HD era.I think there would need to be some rules on that, maybe going so far as to have a committee decide which jerseys can play against which other jerseys, so we never have something like orange vs yellow, blue vs black, red vs orange, etc. Have the Predators played the Flyers in Nashville yet? The orange on the Flyers' shoulders vs the yellow of the Preds just seems like a tv nightmare to me I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

The_Admiral Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 A thought regarding color versus color, but I mean white uniform versus white ice: we gotta stop overlighting rinks or painting them bright white or something. One of the things I noticed while the Blackhawks were getting violently sodomized on Thursday night was that their road whites stood out particularly well against Edmonton's ice, which seems to be vaguely bluish-grey and kind of dull (except on fresh ice, when it is overly reflective). More rinks should look like this. Sometimes the brightness is so amped up that I can't see the faceoff circles very well. This isn't just my television; I notice it elsewhere. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love MSG's lighting, and used to love the old Spectrum lighting. Once they moved in to what is now the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers made a major effort to improve the lighting, which turned to "increase" the lighting, creating what is IMO too bright of a surface (at least during the broadcasts.)Someone asked the new Sixers CEO if they could dim the lights in the crowd during Sixers games like back in the day and he replied that it was specifically built to be super bright and it would require a multi-million dollar lighting upgrade to make it dimable, which as tenants, they can't demand.

The_Admiral Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 They don't leave the house lights up when you see a play or a movie. Why should they for a sporting event? The ice surface should be a pale shade of blue like one of the ones on our board skin here. Just barely not white. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, though, sometimes the ice is painfully bright on an HDTV.http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/2005-03-21-blue-ice_x.htmhttp://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/news/story?id=2014167 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
