I agree about the Whalers, while I dont hate it I am a Canes fan and was not until they moved here. I think the amount of fans that were Whalers fans that still follow the team is miniscule.Personally, I think our best look right now is the current alternates. Black, grey, and red for the pop is unique and we pull it off very well. Wish it was our full time home with an away of the same styling. Feel like we could lean into the black and dark grey more and it would work very well with the storm aesthetic of the brand.
I like the design of the current aways on their own, but wish it had the main logo instead of the wordmark on the crest. Also wish the dimension of the flag stripe on the home was the same as the aways but with the same black-white-flag-white-black to the hem stripe we use on the homes. And I would like the flag logo on the shoulders.
Oh and while we are on it, I'd love to de-emphasize the Whale branding for a little while. Don't mind a singular Whalers Night, but reverse retros should be Canes centric and not the Whale. We have 25 years of history in Raleigh, time to embrace that instead of Hartford.
Like I said in the Burns topic, I want us to either have home and away jerseys based around those stadium 2021 jerseys (with that fantastic looking eye/swirl logo IMO; *chef’s kiss*), or have our alternate jersey become our home and with a white version for our away jersey; the latter option should have the red/traditional home jersey as the alternate jersey. Either way, the organization will love having new jerseys to make a lot of money from.Personally, I think our best look right now is the current alternates.

Yeah, I think our previous home jersey/wannabe Red Wing's jersey, is probably our worst jersey in Hurricanes history. Not a fan of the "Canes" away jersey we have currently though as I said previously, but it's certainly still better than our previous home jersey. I personally want to see matching home and away jerseys, but people that previously mentioned Dundon wanting to give people different options isn't an awful reason.Not going to lie, I actually love the current roads more than I thought. They look really good on TV.
Really anything except that bullshit home jersey with the bottom white stripes from 13-16 or whatever it was. Not only ugly, but worn during an ugly stretch of franchise history.
Can anyone do a mock-up of what an away jersey modeled after the current alternate would look like?
Thanks. I don't like this as much as I thought I would.
Not enough red there IMO. I think you could do black numbers but the stripes could stay red.

I feel like the last one needs a small band of black above the red at the bottom.I tried a few variants....
Here's the one you suggested:

And just for shits and giggles, here's it with the current away numbers:

In my opinion, both of these are too red heavy when you consider the home would be the black jersey. So what if you considered everything from the stripe down on the sleeves a static design element? Well....

I think I might like that one the most, to be honest.
But the amount of fans that buy Whalers merc...I agree about the Whalers, while I dont hate it I am a Canes fan and was not until they moved here. I think the amount of fans that were Whalers fans that still follow the team is miniscule.
Agree the bottom one is the best. I'd probably ditch the shoulder yoke on both jerseys but especially on the white oneI tried a few variants....

I'd love to see a Whaler jersey in a Canes color scheme; either black or red. That would make a cool specialized jersey for a one-off game.
I like this set!So I have previously thought on how I would tweak the jerseys if need be, and this is what I've come up with:

Couple changes here.
1 - Use the C with flags in it as the captaincy patch. Stupid that we aren't already doing that. Introduce one for the A that has a similar treatment.
2 - Standardized the width of the flag pattern stripe to that of the current aways, and shrink the black-white-flag-white-black border to the same dimensions of the current black-flags-black stripe on those aways. Same design and dimension on the sleeves, just removing the sublimated flags.
3 - Standardizing aways to be the same stripe pattern of the tweaked homes. Standardized the hurricane logo on the crest of both, and flipped the silver outline to black to create a better visual border.
4 - Flipped the away numbers back to those of the 2013-18 set in order to better balance red and black.
5 - Current 2 flag alternate logo as shoulder patches on both homes and aways as a call back to the original 1997 set.
Thoughts?

I understand and thats part of why I really dont care too much.But the amount of fans that buy Whalers merc...
