Players in their new uniforms

Sorry, didn't realize you were the uniform guy.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, just stating that teams have clearly been trying to go the other way, and associate themselves with colours so their brand stands out more.

remember the cream and word mark craze of early 2000's? mistake

im not the uniform guy, but I am a jersey collector and I do have strong opinions on bad uniforms because they are unnecessary, every team has the ability to ice really sharp uniforms.

They’re doing that because marketing departments deliberately roll out new looks on a regular cadence. It’s not about what looks the best, it’s about making more money by always having something new on the rack.

its a little too much teal, with black pants they would be fire, just like the Avs. When the ads went to blue pants it was too much. too much of one colour ruins everything. I love the dark blue and orange oiler alts as a jersey, but combined with the blue pants ands socks it's just too much of one thing.

While I mostly agree, let's not forget: teams hate using different pants for home/away sets, it's extremely rare. So, if the Sharks went back to black pants, it would make their home set look really nice, but it would take away from their away set, which would become almost all white/black (a little teal on the elbows and waist). The away being white with teal pants looks very sharp

Still prefer their originals, though, with the teal sleeves all the way down from the elbow and teal hem stripes on the white home jersey. If it ain't broke...

Some teams can pull it off, making a bright primary color dominate their uniform set. Nashville comes to mind even though they have blue pants, I think their home set looks great. My team, Pittsburgh, has had primarily yellow/gold (aka sport gold) uniform sets in recent years that I think looks awful. I liked Minnesota's Subway set from recent years and Dallas had that neon green set that was passable if only because it's an interesting novelty.

I hate the Flyers but I will admit that Philly knows how to put together a nice looking uniform set especially using orange as a primary color in a way that Anaheim just has not figured out how to do.

Today I learned McDavid looks much better in a Flames jersey

Could be better:

Imagine Stamkos rocking one of these! (trying to stay on topic-ish?)

Not sure if Cutter Gauthier counts since he's played one regular season game for the Ducks but I don't think many non Ducks fans saw it and our only real adds were Fabbri and Dumoulin, and that's not as fun for this thread. So Cutter in the new jersey as the rookie squad's captain.

That looks bizarre and out of place

 

[LuckyBoeser]

Daniel Sprong

Jake DeBrusk

Danton Heinen

Jonathan Lekkerimaki

Kiefer Sherwood

I could not find any good pictures of Vincent Desharnais and Derek Forbort

fewer names please, if I wanted to read a giant book I would be at a library

Your the guy that thinks that Upper Deck is better than O'Pee Chee and that rookie cards are better than 20 year vets.

Different strokes. I quite like them compared to the post Mighty Ducks trash they've been wearing for a decade+
