TAFKAK Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm hoping this shows up, but I screen capped this logo that I've never seen before, from the Blue Jackets All-Star video. Sorry, if this has been public knowledge before my posting of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacat_12 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I had no problem with the Edmonton's copper and blue. The colour scheme fits a team named the Oilers better than blue and orange does. However I could never get past the use of red. It stood out like a sore thumb on the jerseys, especially since it outlined the numbers. Red will always be associated with the Flames in Alberta. It would be like the Sens using blue as a trim colour. If the uniforms had been straight navy and copper I would have enjoyed them a lot more but I'm the kind of person that likes to see teams wear what they've won in. If/when the Oilers win the Cup again it'll be very cool to see them do it in the same sweaters as Gretzky, Messier & company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, if this has been public knowledge before my posting of it.That logo looks awesome. It actually looks like there is a different number font with it as well.

Nook Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I understand that going retro is a trend, I get that... but it's so unoriginal to go back to something that's already been done before. I'm an Oilers fan, and while I don't mind Orange/Blue per say, the current jersey design is just so unoriginal. It's been done before. All they had to do was look at pictures from the 80s and they were done. I think a nice mixture of orange/midnight blue with a newer jersey design would've been a nice nod to the past and a great way to look at the future. But for the Oilers, going back to the 80s design didn't surprise me since some of the thinkers in that organization are living in the past anyways. I hope Calgary doesn't make the same mistake. Get rid of those flag patches and do something new. Something original. Retro may be a good idea for an alternate jersey to wear sometimes, but going full out retro is always a dumb idea in my opinion. Just because something is old doesn't mean it's good.

Kevin W. Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Caps/Hurricanes is a great-looking alt vs. alt matchup tonight.

Howie_16 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 The Flames would look perfect if they looked like this...This is a concept I made this year.5 steps away from perfection.1. Lose the black armpits on the home jersey.2. Red collar on the away jersey.3. Add a line of red to the yellow and white stripes on the primary pants.4. Create a shoulder patch that is primarily yellow, like (but not like) the horsehead logo.5. Retain current red 3rd jersey throwbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've really started to appreciate what a nice color combo the navy blue, red and copper were.That said: here in Saskatoon, there's a Jersey City that currently has a crapload of Oilers' pre-Edge replicas (with the Oilman shoulder patches) on sale for 20 bucks apiece, all sizes. The guy working there said they found an old shipment and are selling them off. It's tempting to buy one, but as a Canucks fan I can't bring myself to.

I've been saying this for the past few years.It's lazy and uninventive. Now teams are going back to using throwbacks not only as alternates, which is stupid enough, but as full time jerseys. I'm so sick of it.I would accept it if the Bolts did it though, because nothing is worse than their current look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 When what was worn in the past is lightyears better than what a team has used since leaving said design, there is no issue with going back to the superior look, instead of trying to be "creative" or "inventive" and have yet another jersey/identity that looks like s**t...

Retro may be a good idea for an alternate jersey to wear sometimes, but going full out retro is always a dumb idea in my opinion. Just because something is old doesn't mean it's good.Similarly just because something is new doesn't mean it is good either.If a team going back to a retro look is, imo, a downgrade then I think it is stupid. However if it improves their look then who cares if they've done it before, as long as they look good that's the most important thing.Hypothetically, if a team with a flat out classic, legendary set, such as the Red Wings, Yankee homes, Packers, made a significant visual downgrade you wouldn't want them to go back to what they had? 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
