TBGKon Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 They look good in blue and white and they don't feel like Leafs or Red Wings ripoffs to me.Agreed, seeing them on the ice they look even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Nope, they look an awful lot like the Maple Leafs. Unacceptable. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I didn't think much of these uniforms when they were first unveiled but after seeing them in action all the way through June I've changed my mind. This is a spectacular and unique jersey and I hope it sticks around... wordmark and all.I remember absolutely hating this when it first came out.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hated everything about the Lions' new look when it was first unveiled, but it has really grown on me and I really like the whole set now.When these came out I was like "bleh" but now I like them, and no I am not jumping on the Billswagon.Winning makes a team look good. When these teams came out with their new looks they were garbage (maybe Vancouver wasn't garbage per say but they weren't kicking ass to the extent they are now) so I feel like you are less likely to take anything the dysfunctional franchise does seriously. Now that these teams are legit you come to respect their entire organization more, including the uniforms. That's my 2 cents, and I do it as well.

vmd9 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Nope.....it's 2011 and I still hate them.Only thing that bothers me is the inconsistent striping running from the jersey to pants. The piping is yellow so that works, but how it goes from purple-white-purple looks really strange. For any other team I'd say the shoulder striping would look bad, but it really relates to the viking horn better than the Culpepper stripes.

JohnnySeoul Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 But the horns on the helmet are suppose to resemble a viking's horned hat/helmet.....why the **** is it on the pants too? It doesn't make sense. Not even the can justify having horns down there. JohnnySeoul's WikipageIF ONE IS CONSIDERED RACIST, THEN BOTH MUST BE CONSIDERED RACIST.BOTTOM LINE: NEITHER ONE IS RACIST.

IceCap Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 The Rams used to have ram horns on the sleeves, and the Eagles have wings on their helmets and eagle heads on their sleeves. Also, real viking helmets didn't have horns.

Also, real viking helmets didn't have horns.You're missing the point. The helmet has ALWAYS resembled the cartoonish/token view of a vikings (kinda like an American Indian with a feather in his head). Adding even more horns to the legs makes zero sense. It was dumb on the Rams too, but now that is considered iconic because throwbacks are "cool".

As for the Vikings? A cartoon viking =/= a real viking. I mostly just added the fact that real vikings didn't wear horns as a throw away because it's not like the previous look was this uber-realistic take on viking garb.

The Patriots have won quite a bit, and I think their uniforms are among the worst in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 When the Rangers started wearing this combo, I declared them the ugliest thing in baseball history (or something equally hyperbolic):The red cap clearly was not made to go with the blue script.Yet somehow seeing them in action in the playoffs, they've grown on me.This struck me as odd when I first saw it as well (last year?), but it works for the Rangers, who seem to be embracing a red at home, blue on the road look. One problem with the Rangers in all red -- and I liked that '90s set -- is that it now looks too much like the Angels. Using a Texas script actually helps this (the only good thing about it) and keeping it blue helps even more. Although our tendency is to want a team to pick one or the other, it makes sense if the Rangers stay equal parts royal blue and red. Plenty of red-dominant teams go navy on the road. By not picking a color (but assuming they establish a home/road dynamic officially next year) they are coming up with a unique identity. None of the other royal blue and red teams use the two colors that way (Dodgers, Cubs and maybe Blue Jays next year), they are generally "blue" teams.So that look above looks wrong at first, but really isn't that bad. (On a side note, I'm glad the Indians and Twins brought back navy lettering with red outlines; these teams tend to get into the habits of using similar color schemes in the same way.) I like it when non-traditional teams like the Rangers mix it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I absolutely hated the Rangers "Lady Liberty" jersey when it came out. It grew on me to the point that it ended up being my favorite look for the Rangers. I really liked the white one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Burmy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I gotta say the whole Milwaukee Admirals identity from 2006-present...when I first saw them announced, I thought "April Fool's Day was four months ago!" (it was August 1)Now I've grown to appreciate it...truly stands out, adds an edge to the look...I ESPECIALLY love the full-body one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
