Morgan33 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 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.The NHL experimented with this during the lockout, but nothing happened with it. 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=2014167That looks terrible with Buffalo's old logo... sure it'd work better for other teams but that is an eyesore.

But couldn't they use the regular colors for lines? Make the blue a bit darker if you have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I have never noticed the ice to be too bright. PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 post/avatar combo.That blue ice looks like it would be so much easier on the eyes than bright white. I might make it a little less bright, even. What's with the yellow lines, though? Odd, not necessary. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksupilot Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Strangest thing I have ever seen in regards to lighting and ice is MSG. On TV the ice looks bright white...then you go to a Rangers game abd tge crappy Garden lighting makes it look cream colored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a picture from 2007 from a French Ligue Magnus-game between Rouen and Dijon.But I have never seen a problem with the ice myself, even not in Finland, allthough we have the jerseys and ice filled up with ads (not as bad as in Czech Republic or Switzerland though).

The_Admiral Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 That looks perfect (except for the puzzling white faceoff circle). Red and blue look fine against it. You're not staring at white.

zpqmaowl Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Today I learned that people think the ice is too bright. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersHockey1967 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 As New York did this past Sunday, the Flyers will apparently be wearing their Winter Classic jerseys on Saturday when they host the Rangers.

CS85 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (not counting the score) tonight's Rangers/Blackhawks game is a thing of uniform beauty.

Morgan33 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I really like these NYR alternates in action.Not a fan of Vintage White (as you can see in my sig) but it really works for the Rangers alternate.

DaytonBlue Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I liked the Lady Liberty NYR alts.Also, I don't like the dimmer lights as one who is usually in the nosebleeds. I find I have less eye strain when the building is lit up better. Recently at a Grizzlies game they turned on extra lights after the game and I thought, why couldn't these have been on all night!

Kevin W. Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm not suggesting that it replace their normal uniforms, but it's a great alt.
