DeFrank Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The only issue i see with that is that you then run into an "overstriped" situation akin to the Florida Gators. Granted, they make theirs work due to using the same pattern/order across blue, orange, and white backgrounds (which is how it seems a simple braisher ends up on their helmets and orange pants)...but I just couldn't see that type of arragement working for the Pack.If anything, I'd say they should strip it down even more—actually just by getting rid of the collar trim. And perhaps trying out some white road socks with stripes that match those of their white jerseys—like that Browns picture on the previous page. I'm telling you, more teams need to try that solution.Apologies for the plug, but this image kinda illustrates what I mean:This.... this is quite a great novel idea. For teams that use light colored pants with white jerseys... white socks create a better stripe and color balance because the elements theoretically match perfectly. I guess they do ideally when the helmet and pants are the same color as well. With colored socks, you end up using a striping pattern that is otherwise only seen on the home jersey. A team like the Redskins, however, would be better off with burgundy socks simply because their helmets are burgundy, and that is a better balance. Very interesting idea though, can't believe I'd never thought of it. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Canada is the only really IIHF to embrace black as much as they do. It defiantly gives the team their own identity, but would eliminating the black make them look too much like the Red Wings?They could wear plain tan shorts for a classic pond hockey look. Or just red. And no, they wouldn't look like the Wings. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4_tattoos Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Finally found a pic of Marshall's road uniform which I nominated earlier in the thread.Heck, I even thought the previous set (which wasn't much different from what they currently wear) had a good white uni too.

IceCap Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I do agree that the '90s color scheme is a LOT better than the bright blue-and-orange trainwrecks the Oilers wear now.I don't think so. The Oilers' 90's look is just another example of the decade's "darken ALL THE THINGS!" trend. It's certainly not worthy of supplanting a look that was worn by one of the greatest hockey teams to ever lace up skates.

You always hear because "the old school fans wanted them back". But something tells me that isn't the case. The blue & orange looks freaking nasty, especially when compared to the navy and copper.

The blue & orange looks freaking nasty, especially when compared to the navy and copper.5 Cups in 7 years, plus the legacies of Gretzky, Kurri, Messier, Anderson, and Coffey. Nope, I'm pretty sure that's the case.heres a better question; which team dosent look good in white? i mean, its white, it goes well with everythingThe hideous side panels, muddling drop shadows, and the 9 000 different striping patterns.

I also miss the Oilers pre-edge set but I'll take the current orange and royal jerseys (which are not bad by any means) over the Navy and Copper Edge "Practice" jerseys any day.
