puckcool22 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 While a lot of us may think about logos and uniforms enough to call ourselves experts, or at least with above average criticism to give, whose opinion really matters? THE FANS of course. Today my friend was telling me about how he was gonna buy a lightning jersey for twenty bucks with one of the more less known players names on it. I said why would you get a lightning jersey its one of the boringest (ik, not a word) jerseys. He said are you kidding- its so retro. While this comment seemed stupid to me, maybe he has a point. The lightnings simple jerseys may have a retro appeal to some people. So for discussion, who are the best uniform critics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 if you can see something for what it is (i.e. the Astros rainbow as so ugly it's gotta sell) and give credit where it's due (Falcons and Preds come to mind), then you're halfway there. the other half's on your own.if you own ten throwbacks and know the history behind most of em, then you're also on the right track. knowing the history behind none, and liking the Devils, Cardinals, Lightning, and Bulls jerseys for their "retro look" puts you on the trend of the moment track. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paynomind Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 So, basically what you are asking is: What is the arbitor of a 'good jersey'?A. SalesB. A commitee of expertsC. Whatever floats your personal boatD. ...maybe you have another idea?I go for C as a fan, A and an exec. Whatever sells, baby!

STL FANATIC Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 Our board has actually taken in a good amount of these critics that go for designs that original group of us wouldn't. They've become regulars and are great, but often cases, I can't believe some of the opinions on designs coming from these boards.A lot of us feel like experts, but ultimately it comes down to the majority of people, and in my "expert" opinion, the majority of people like ugly stuff.

Frenchie Posted June 9, 2004 Share Posted June 9, 2004 We have to look at Jerseys/Uniforms as ART...Therefore, it's all in the eye of the observer.It can not be solely commercial success, as for may form of art, mainly Pop-Art (INCLUDING Pop-Music), Consumers (a.k.a. Kids) will swallow any garbage our Mass-Media culture feeds them. For example Throw-Backs.Some are good, but most are just plain awful.How is it that teh "nostalgia" craze is carried out by people who weren't even born yet when these things were released.It's not Nostalgia, at least not Merrian-Webster's definition:"Function: nounEtymology: New Latin, from Greek nostos return home + New Latin -algia; akin to Greek neisthai to return, Old English genesan to survive, Sanskrit nasate he approaches1 : the state of being homesick : HOMESICKNESS2 : a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition; also : something that evokes nostalgia"Being the "passionate-sentimental" type I am (must be the latin blooded French thing), I personnally, make my purchases from the heart. it has to be Meaningful, and have a sentimental value... (I would pay A LOT for a "Game Worn - Jiri Crha Leafs' Shirt")hat's why it is hard to get consensus on any given topic, because people all see them with different eyes...Alright, gotta cut this short before I turn this into a "Communication-101" class.You get my point...p.s: I'm serious about Crha's 1979-80 shirt... @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
