Preds jerseys are legit!

Well that caps off what has to be the most disappointing set of unveilings since the rollout of Edge in 2007. I seriously thought the NHL/Reebok was moving past things like Piping, Colour by numbers templates, and jerseys without hem stripes. Guess this was just wishful thinking.

I just thought you'd bristle at the idea of the Kings looking like the Ducks.

If the Kings had stuck with purple and gold, it would've been fine, you're right; but by jumping on the Raiders bandwagon, it went from "Inglewood Forum harmony" to "jump on what's popular" and ruined everything. The Ducks' palette could've work for the Kings. The gold is royal enough. Sure.

Eh, the Mighty Ducks already tried looking like the Kings. As nice as those black "Anaheim" 3rds were and as much as everyone, myself included, liked those jerseys, the one thing I could never fully embrace about them was that the purple/black/silver was treading way way too close to the Kings. It's bad enough that both teams have changed to majority black schemes.

The difference between the two teams was better these last two seasons with the Ducks bring out more orange and the Kings bringing back a bit more purple and those purple/gold retros. It was a nice dichotomy between the two, but that's blown to hell with the Kings going almost completely black now (which makes the Wayne Simmonds trade kinda weird. HEYOOOO) It kind of sucks going to Ducks/Kings games in a black jersey only to root against guys in a black jersey, but hey, just another reason to root against the Kings (even though they had the black first, but again whatever).

And sure the gold might be royal enough, but I don't think you could bring the orange into it.

My buddy is at the Panthers draft party, took a pic of Stanley C. in the new jerseys. They are total fail. Way to build my hopes up and then smash them Panthers.... AGAIN.

Better than the stupid blue/blue 3rds? Sure, anything would have been as long as it was red. But wow. These are even worse then the previous Edge set. I got used to those.

Let me just throw this out like the garbage it likely is: what about just purple and white, like yet another Maple Leafs + Red Wings team?

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.

Yep. Oilers white sweaters look good. The Kings roads would be cool if they'd kept the crown logo or brought back the classic crown logo. Panthers? Not surprised. I hope they keep the logo, recolor it, and change the name to the Hamilton Tigers. The classic Hamilton "H" logo would be a great shoulder logo.

The only way the Hamilton Tigers come into existence is if the Bulldogs rebrand or have a retro night.

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.

Not sure if you heard the news but Jim Balsillie just lost like half his fortune because Research In Motion stock tanked hard. Probably puts a damper on Hamilton talk, which was a longshot even when he did have money.

Well aware of that, thank you very much.
