OT: Which threads blow you away? The great jersey debate

Could be a red or silver version of the original black alternate jersey?

Silver makes a bit of sense since we'll already have a red, black, and white jersey in the fold this year, and the original alternate makes sense because we already have something with every other logo.

Could. I was thinking silver because of 25 years and we have silver in our original colors. Use the new logo but the old jersey design. Tone down the silver, obviously.

Pssh. f*** that shit. Give me the most blingy silver possible if we're going that direction. Want them to look so dazzled that you think you're at an Elton John concert singing Saturday Night's alright for fighting!

Yes because that song kicks ass

So now that we are into the Preseason with the first game today, I will present you a concept that I have, assuming that the rumors of the Reverse Retro being Canes based is correct.

What if we went with a black version of our original jersey?

Interestingly enough, we actually did (briefly) make this style available for purchase. Just in women's sizes around 2005 or so. You can see who I believe was Cam Ward's girlfriend at the time wearing it in the background of the broadcast when he's awarded the Conn Smythe....

That slaps. I'd probably switch the silver stripe on the sleeve for a red but I like it a lot

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I hope we don’t go that plain with a reverse retro

You know what, fair enough, that does look much better

Not really sure what else we could do. If its Canes related, everything is pretty much based on that kind of aesthetic. The only thing I could consider is maybe they could do something IceCaps related? But then you're talking about either the 1990s Pens or 1999 Stars templates, which.... meh.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I think that looks pretty boring as well, but sometimes these templates just make things look a little more boring than when you see the real jersey.

I'd love to see a mockup of the original alt with Silver and Black inverted, if you've played around with that concept at all.

Probably something like this:

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Okay. Better than just slap the Hurricane on the black jersey but nothing fancy. Make the Hurricanes flags red. Maybe make the pants black. Im trying not to get my hopes up on the reverse retro.

Very unique. Multiple teams did grey/silver last go around, but that didn't extend to the pants and helmet. I'm a fan of the color rush type look.

Now make it sparkle

Who knows how reliable

None of that would be particularly surprising, so I could see it all being true.

two more thoughts on what this year's Reverse Retro could look like

I like the idea of an alternate version of this design but I think that both of these would be better with full color black on red flags on the waist. I think the original black would have benefited from that too though

 

[CandyCanes]

Maybe?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Maybe?

Id be angry. F the whalers BS

 

[VaCaps Fan]

I wore a 1980s cliff Engle whalers sweater and like 20 people in NC liked it.

 

[Svechhammer]

Maybe?

Prefer not to have it at all, but don't mind it if Canes colors. Would drive a lot of people in the NE apeshit, and I'm all for that

Recently wore my Whalers hat to a Lowe’s here in Eastern NC. As I was looking at my phone in the car in the parking lot someone pulls up staring at me. Rolled down the window and he said, “Go Whale!” Pretty funny at the time
