How soon before we see a Jersey/ Logo rebrand?

I think it's because the flag logo has no black whatsoever in it, so it looks out of place because it's in this field of black to which it doesn't relate. The cannon has splashes of black here and there for shadow and depth, so it looks more anchored to the huge field of black. Def like the cannon version better, but the black torso is still not for me.

I wish they would have just used the old CBJ logo
Put the cannon/usual logo on the shoulder. Original CBJ in the middle.

Personally, I think this just highlights to me why I don't like the cannon logo. It's just a circle with a cannon and a ribbon that says Columbus Blue Jackets. There's nothing particularly innovative or clever about it.
I don't mind a cannon as the main logo, but to me it should be a cohesive, simple design rather than having the elements of a logo just present and independent. Plus, the circle logo definitely makes it look like a shoulder patch instead of a crest.
I'm not crazy about going to the alternate color scheme full time. I do not want to see the Jakcets become hockey's version of the Cavs (50+ years and still haven't nailed down a color scheme - although some variation of wine and gold is starting to become a constant).

Light blue socks black pants. Ok. Ok. I’d like to see it on a human not laid on a table
None the less, I’m going to order a 91.

The more I look at it the better I think it will look on the ice

This is still better than what the “leak” is.
Why did they keep the red trim on the numbers??

I'll guess it is just so they don't have to spend extra money on a different font or color for the players and retail jerseys.

I have seen a coule of people say it looks like a Thrashers jersey. I guess it could look like a Thrashers concept reverse retro, kind of. The Thrashers had a darker color on the top of one shoulder and one arm, not on both arms and wider at the shoulders like the Jackets.

I actually think it looks pretty slick. The lighter blue on the shoulders in the actual revealed jerseys works much better with black than the navy blue that was in the “leaked” version.
Thrashers definitely came to mind for me as well. Didn’t like their jerseys then and don’t like these jerseys now.
Glad Adidas will be NHL jersey history after 23-24.
EDIT: THN ranks them in the ‘unwearable tier’:

The team that blew it was Seattle. The first American team to win the Stanley Cup was the Seattle Metropolitans. They could have gone that route, but they didn’t.

Anyone can make a list and rankings but anyone that calls that hideous Kings jersey number 1 just likes ugly things.
And don't get me started on "Forum Blue" It's Purple FFS!

The list is invalidated by Florida anywhere in the top 25. I expect to see Will Farrell sporting is as Jackie Moon in Semi-Pro 2: Frozen Assets.
