How soon before we see a Jersey/ Logo rebrand?

Tried to merge cannon on it, just for fun...

Yeah, this is better.

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???

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.

I don't hate them, but I can't help but instantly think thrashers when I see them.

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).

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.

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.

Anything is better than the red RR

 

[DougKnowsBest]

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.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Looking through these. I think most of these look pretty solid. I can't say that more than a couple across the league look hideous.

 

[Long Live Lyle]

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 latest crop of the NHL's reverse retro jerseys have officially been released. Let's take a look at how all 32 of them stack up by ranking them in tiers.

I don't see the Thrashers similarity, besides the blue - but other teams have used light blue also.

In any event, I've already ordered one of these. Just had to.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Not good.

The results of these league-wide jersey programs rarely are.

look who comes in at dead last

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.

 

[ViD]

They voted CBJ RR as one of the two worst

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!

One of them literally suggested an Ohio State tie in as an option.

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.
