NHL unveils reverse retro jerseys

[RedMenace]

Maybe they should have done a reverse of their away with red jerseys and white sleeves. Idk.

Not exactly retro but they've had the same jerseys since the Lincoln Administration. Perhaps they should have just broken the rules like the Islanders did.

Don't get me wrong, I understand the tradition and heritage and all that, but gray. On white. Really? That's all anyone would approve?

Not even a little tan with more red? Or shit, throw in a bit of cliched black. Or light urple. Or put a cracked-out Falcon on there like Meth Bear. Something. Anything.

Just a waste of time for which someone got paid way too much money.

I sincerely do not understand Anaheim’s jersey. I cannot wait to see them wear those things, that is the ugliest stupidest looking jersey I have ever seen. So ugly and stupid in fact it might be awesome

It's a reverse retro of a jersey they actually used to wear:

You're not wrong.

There is no accounting for taste, so who cares if we agree, but my personal taste is that the Colorado and Arizona versions here are two of the only ones worth making. And I don't particularly like any of your S tier jerseys. I suppose the Canucks one is really good considering how much I tend to usually disfavor the blue/green combination.

Every article, every tweet, every poll I've come across has the Avs, Arizona and Minni's at the top. This person clearly must be trolling as everything is reversed like these jerseys. lol

Seriously if you make a ‘retro’ jersey for Vegas, why leave Seattle out ?

If these jerseys are only for this season, then there's no point in making them for a team that won't play until 2021.

Aren't these jerseys only supposed to be for this season? Seattle doesn't play this year.

Our teams jersey is so boring and lame. Grey? Nothing different than the normal for design? Why even waste your time? Can't see many wanting to spend $150-$250 to get one of these.

It looks like a practice jersey, having said that I dislike the Flames one as well, boring jersey.

A
Boston - Instant classic
Edmonton - Fresh yet traditional
Minnesota - The best Minnesota uniform yet?
St. Louis - Swagger

B
Anaheim - Respect for pulling this off
New Jersey - This is fun
Ottawa - One of the sharpest out there
Phoenix - Not perfect but very good
Tampa Bay - I didn't realize I missed this

C
Buffalo - Solid ECHL jersey
Columbus - Why not?
Dallas - Kinky
Florida - Good to see the logo back, boring jersey though
Los Angeles - Fun but pointless
Montréal - I suppose it had to be done, now it has been done
Nashville - Meh yet okay
NY Islanders - Isn't this their regular?
Vancouver - The original was awful, this is kind of cute
Washington - Better than the original

D
Calgary - Is that a WHL team?
Detroit - Looks like something designed for the arena staff
NY Rangers - So lazy, no effort
Philadelphia - Would look good on Gritty and only on Gritty
Pittsburgh - A failed opportunity
San José - Bargain bin sweater
Toronto - Sad excuse of a logo on a boring jersey
Vegas - Thanks for trying
Winnipeg - Just doesn't work

E
Chicago - I suppose casual racism can be retro too

F
Carolina - That's not a Carolina uniform
Colorado - That's not a Colorado uniform

So, you find the Carolina jersey to be worst than "casual racism" in your own words?

I don't know, if I found the Chicago jersey to be any kind of racist, which I don't, I would definitely find it to be the worst jersey no matter how it looked.

 

[Riggins]

Detroit's is the worst.

Minnesota should immediately switch to this new look. It's WAY better and the league is lacking a team with a green/yellow colour scheme.

Never knew they wore that, still hideous but somehow cool

 

[TaLoN]

Never knew they wore that, still hideous but somehow cool

Back in their disney "mighty ducks" era. There was even a cartoon based on the logo.

I'm going to have to hold myself back from buying one with Kariya on the back!

 

[HuGo Sham]

Thought I'd had them on there, whoops.

But I do love Montreal's too.

lol thought it was deliberate.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Am I the only one who thinks the Jets jersey looks great?

Best ones IMO are

Montreal
Tampa
Carolina
NJ
Philly
Washington
Edmonton
LA
Vancouver
Colorado
Minnesota
St. Louis
Winnipeg

What does "inexperienced" mean in graphic design terms?

Even my graphic designer GF doesn't know

 

[BOS358]

Even my graphic designer GF doesn't know

It took me a while to figure it out. They used "inexperienced" to replace "green."

Get it? (Insert idiotic elbow-nudging here.) If it was a joke, it fell flat. If it wasn't, it was sloppy editing.

Is it just me, or is the Devils logo a bit low?

 

[max21]

Is it just me, or is the Devils logo a bit low?

I thought the same thing, no idea why it’s so low. Also didn’t the Devils just have these green sweaters like last year? Or was it primary red with green like to the left

$300 with name, $210 without. Are y'all seeing the same prices in your area?

I'm looking at the Team LA Store for the Kings' jersey prices. It's $259.99 with customization, $180.00 without. Sounds like a nice price in comparison so far. If only I had the spending money.

You know they did a great job when even Florida’s jersey is nice.

 

[bigduga]

...on predominantly white ice?

...After Labor Day?

What size on a Adidas jersey would a 5'9 guy wear if I want to wear it a bit shorter (like just below the waist). I usually wear size S, or M shirts. Like this for example.

 

[HarryLime]

Is it just me, or is the Devils logo a bit low?

It's cause Devils are in hell

or last in the division

I’m a graphic designer. No idea.
