VancouverFan69 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I wish people would stop whining about uniforms not being in their personal aesthetic. They whine about modern teams in "original 6 dress up" then whine about these possible "modern" uniforms for the outdoor games. We get it, you don't like anything except for the Blackhawks and wish the "next 6" teams to go back to their inaugural uniforms. We got a lot of elitist here thinking their ideas are what's best for the nhl and anything else is trash in their eyes.Yes, there are a lot, but sometimes if a lot of people think it, it's true. A lot of teams got it right on their first try, or a second try where minimal changes are made.Here's a list of teams that have never looked better after they changed their sweaters., I chose what most people might consider a consensus. (Bold teams point out that they're still using or brought back their original/semi-original sweaters)Anaheim (Mighty) DucksAtlanta/Calgary FlamesBuffalo Sabres (ish)Colorado AvalancheDetroit Red WingsEdmonton OilersFlorida PanthersLa KingsMinnesota WildMontreal Canadiens (Well...)New York IslandersNew York RangersOttawa SenatorsPhiladelphia FlyersSan Jose SharksTampa Bay LightningVancouver Canucks (They sorta brought it back, but it still doesn't look good with the constipated whale and the huge VANCOUVER over it.)Very well said. I totally agree. You are spot on regarding the Canucks. However, I predict that the Canucks will "finish" their re-branding within 2 to 4 years after their Vancouver Millionaires Stanley Cup centennial celebrations are over and done with. There were a lot of legal and licensing issues involved when the Canucks brought back their original colours(the ownership trial, not owning certain trademarks at the time).

TorinK92 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just speculating because both areas of the sweaters shown are white, where in the Barberpole sweaters that Binghampton used a couple years back had stripes thick enough so that both areas shown would be of different colours.

spartacat_12 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It could either be a barberpole jersey with thicker stripes (one of the problems with Binghamton's and Montreal's was that the stripes were too thin), or just an inverted heritage jersey. The biggest question is white or "vintage white"? Every time I look at that preview I have a different answer. Here's hoping they don't screw it up and go vintage white (but my gut tells me they will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xodius Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It's neither guys. The white is just the outline of the patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinK92 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah, but do you think they'd put that on a coloured sweater? That may be the outline of the patch but that doing so pretty much says that the sweater will be white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodboy13 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Icethetics has a couple photos of player shirseys for the stadium series. In both cases (NYR & PIT), the numbers are in the teams' standard fonts, but are noticeably narrower and taller. Using my Jump To Conclusions Mat, perhaps this means jerseys with wide, contrasting side panels, and no hem stripes?The Rangers' numbers are done in the old Lady Liberty white jersey color scheme, which is nice to see again.
