How soon before we see a Jersey/ Logo rebrand?

I don't normally really care enough to weigh in on jersey design convos but... wow. These suck and I hate them.
I like them/the idea.
Then again I was one of the few who liked the red reverse retros ... different strokes I guess
Replace all the blue with black and it'd be fine. Maybe even cool. From a distance (like on TV) I don't even think you'll be able to distinguish the blue from the black.
But a good reminder that this is 100% subjective, to each their own!
I'd like for us to incorporate the powder blue (typical seen on the pants of the Union Army uniforms) into our 3rd jersey scheme.
I'm not a fan of the Reverse Retros at all. These mandatory league-wide alt uniform programs never produce good stuff.

Yikes, worse than I thought. Really dislike that shade of blue, but who knows maybe it looks better in game action.
At least you may be able to actually distinguish the blue from the black, as opposed to the first leak we saw. Still, pretty fugly imo.
EDIT: It's growing on me.

Taking out the red piping made it less objectionable for me, but I'm still not a fan.

Actually the opposite for me.... didn't like the concepts we saw earlier, but I don't mind this with that shade of blue.
A bit surprised they're keeping those shoulder patches, not sure why....
But who am I kidding, I was going to get one anyways, have to keep the collection going.

Okay, I'll do that right now. See below.You shouldn't bottle up your emotions; just tell us what you really feel!

I don't know what you're talking about. I love these. They are beautiful and amazing and wonderful and glorious and I love them forever.
Of course, I also was obsessively in love with the original 3rds, so I may be biased. (They're kind of why I continue to give the logo a pass to this day, for example.)
And I can get why some people might go "groan, another majority black, and that's the wrong shade of blue", and I understand those complaints... but to my eye, that is clearly a Blue Jackets jersey, as opposed to the Columbus Capitals nonsense we had before. I would be able to live with that as a main.
Different strokes, I understand.
But no, I don't like adding new colors that have nothing to do with original unis and only makes it visually more complex. It's like putting pink stars on the sleeves instead of white ones.

In principle it's something I would want to avoid as well. But I think this case works extremely well in practice.

Oooooook ... on first glance I hate that shade of blue.
But give me a few hours, or maybe days... and I'm sure it will have grown on me
EDIT: not even 10 minutes... gave it another glance.. yep, that blue is looking better by second.

On further review, I think removing the red stripes was what took it from the concept's "meh, don't care for it" to the actual thing's "I WANT TO HAVE ITS BABIES" for me.
Yes, I'm weird. Can't rationally explain why the reaction's that strong. Just that it's there.
...and that it's also the correct reaction and anyone who dares voice any disagreement will be severely punished.

It’s like the old NHL all star game jerseys meet Atlanta thrashers

From what I read elsewhere, this jersey will be complimented with black pants - so let's see how the whole package looks, from helmets to socks.

I don’t hate it. To me it looks like a variation of a Blue Jackets jersey, not a variation of a Capitals jersey, so it is a million times better than the red monstrosities they came up with last time.
That is much better! Maybe change the black to the darker blue of the third jerseys and with the third jersey socks they would look really sharp.

Maybe that's what its missing. Looks 10x better with the cannon. Kinda also helps the blue flow better in general. Wait, what the hell did I just type???
