ColeJ Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 yeah, considering it's the current logo with an alteration that most fans wouldn't even notice, i think it would go by pretty well.it'll more drastic than that, or they wouldn't have even mentioned it.

Cosmic Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 IMO St. Louis should go back to this shade of blue.They should just go back to this design period. Update the logo so it's the same shape as the current one, ditch the ugly yoke on the white and you have a winnerHow about with these slight modifications?*credit to nhluniforms.comThe St Louis Sabres?To be fair, you could say that about either color combo.

Morgan33 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 i mean the logo. not the wordmark.the ST^RS logo. actually, every logo and mark.This is worrying. Unless they plan on creating an identity that harkens back to the North Stars days, I don't see how a new logo could be an improvement. All the Stars need to do is put the current primary on a green jersey with relatively simple striping. Like the cup jerseys without the star outline.

BigBubba Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Per Leafs blogger Howard Berger, the Leafs will don a "slightly tweaked" version of this for the Winter Classic: Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin W. Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Am I crazy to hope for a red versus blue matchup for the WC?No, you're not. A color-vs-color matchup would look great. In fact, I wish there were more color-vs-color games in the NHL. The Blackhawks wearing their reds against the Rangers' blues would look so great. 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...
WSU151 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Per Leafs blogger Howard Berger, the Leafs will don a "slightly tweaked" version of this for the Winter Classic:I've never noticed how great the font used for the wordmark is (granted, we don't see this logo all the time).

CMUBrent Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Per Leafs blogger Howard Berger, the Leafs will don a "slightly tweaked" version of this for the Winter Classic:Nice jersey! My guesses on the "tweaks":1. Vintage white2. Collar laces (a Reebok standard anymore)3. Some form of shoulder patch (the 11-point Leaf?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guesses on the "tweaks":1. Vintage white2. Collar laces (a Reebok standard anymore)3. Some form of shoulder patch (the 11-point Leaf?)and of course, the obligatory Winter Classic patch.As great as color vs color would be, the league seems really hesitant to do it. Considering that Toronto is on the road, I wouldn't be surprised if it were a (vintage?) white version of that sweater. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

Considering that Toronto is on the road, I wouldn't be surprised if it were a (vintage?) white version of that sweater.That's really disappointing, since having two teams don their own non-white colors would be great, plus it's extremely difficult for viewers to confuse red with blue. I'd settle for a white versus home, but not with a team donning vintage white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Another possible "slight tweak" would be to make the jersey in standard Leaf blue. I don't see the Leafs releasing a navy jersey like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Could just be the lighting. I don't think the Leafs have ever worn navy.Color-vs-color would be mildly ironic, as these are two teams who look their absolute best in white. I hope the Red Wings go with the DETROIT sweater they threw back to for the 75th season, maybe with the candy cane socks they wore for the 2009 Winter Classic. Frankly, I hope the game is even played at all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always been the rumbling that if the lockout does happen, the WC may be the first game of a drastically shortened season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Color vs Colour won't happen. I don't think the Red Wings have a red sweater in their history that's significantly different from what they wear currently. They'll probably go with the DETROIT throwbacks they wore for the league's 75th anniversary.Anyway I'm most definitely worried that this game won't happen. Just the Leafs' luck for it not to.

CrookedThumb Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 TBD for a Lightning alternate. Here's to it being black.....or charcoal.My prediction is a throwback to the original set. Next question is will it use the original number/letter kit or the one from the Stanley Cup era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
