GHT120 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Don't like the Leaf-ish blue on the Habs sweater ... should have gone Expos blue ... even Nordiques blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Not a huge fan of 3rd jerseys in general, but at least this aint that seizure causing barberpole one, so could be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlbalr Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 They're alright. I don't see the need to have them but hey, without fans, they need some sort of cash grab gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 The absolute balls on these mad lads to release a BLUE Habs sweater, my goodness. Looks good if you can see past the sacrilege. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXx..CK..xXx Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 They’re nice. I’ll probably end up getting one. The blue isn’t the same blue as the Rangers or Islanders either. There are a few nice ones across the league. I think my favorite is St Louis’ Colorado, Washington, Vegas, Anaheim, Ottawa, Phoenix, Vancouver, Columbus, Florida, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New Jersey... all nice to varying degrees.

JoeLassister Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Also, do you guys think of any reason other than a future logo/name change for why the BlackHawks would avoid showing their logo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to call that an oversight on their part. This is the one that the Blackhawks released, clearly featuring the logo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeLassister Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Seems to me that the league won't show the logo on their own posts but let the actual team deal with the possible backlash. Weird call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, it was originally named after a military squad the original owner was in or something? I don't even know if switching to a military style logo would be an improvement. Without any context it's still the best looking jersey in the league imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanpuck33 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I feel like most of these jerseys someone just played around with changing the colors of old jerseys on MS Paint. So many are simply re-used styles with the color flipped. They should have done something way more unique for each team. Some way to honor the history and/or city. I'll start with my two teams, Montreal and Columbus. I want to like Montreal, but I agree with those who are uneasy with so much blue making it feel too Leafsy. I would have rather put the normal red shoulders on the white with blue strip jersey they've done before. Columbus... that's probably the worst of the bunch. The white shoulder/sleeves is not a good look, and how are you going to make red the primary color for a team called the BLUE Jackets? Just terrible. Some of the few I like are the Blues, Kings, Wild, and Capitals. I liked those red accents they used to have, and since "Blues" doesn't refer to the color, I'm ok with red being the primary color. I'm not normally a purple person, but I like the classic colors with the 90's logo. I like the nostalgia factor for the Wild with those colors. And I like that Capitals jersey style a lot more with the brighter red, white, and blue. The Ducks could have done a lot more with that logo than swap the colors. San Jose's is solid, since it's at least more than just flipping two colors. Dallas and Detroit look like crappy practice jerseys. The Coyotes went with purple? The Islanders - what on earth is different about that jersey? And did they even change anything on the Rangers Lady Liberty jersey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHT120 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 As usual with Ottawa I can't get past the fact that they call themselves the Senators and their logo is a Centurion, or a Trojan condom advertisement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
