Welp, not getting that one this year..... Or maybe I will, who knows.

But, 2020 is not retro

Navy with Pucky the Whale would pay for Aho’s next contract

EDIT: Who designs these? Is it the league because it’s their initiative and then the teams sign off?

 

[CandyCanes]

I don’t hate it, but nothing I’d buy.

 

[LBS I Digress]

It’s ight

 

[CandyCanes]

Should be called a modern reverse jersey. Not reverse retro

 

[MinJaBen]

Well, they couldn't have picked a better song for the reveal of that jersey. Good job sound guy/gal.

 

[Svechhammer]

I think the part I dislike the most is the wordmark. I only begrudgingly accept it on the current aways, and to now see it on the RR is.... Disappointing

However, I do like the design elements of this on its own. I like the flags on the red shoulders (though they need to be outlined in white). I actually like the stripe pattern, I wouldn't mind that as an alt, but do prefer the black hem from the previous reds. I also love the white C with the red flags (that NEED TO BE THE CAPTAINCY PATCH, DAMMIT).

I think it just exposes that the current away kind of sucks. It needs a logo, not a wordmark.

Eww.. those are not good. Does anyone actually like the CANES wordmark jerseys? I feel like it's universally hated, except by dundon.

This is also our second newest logo too, how is that retro? I would have preferred something with our older blacks. A homage to the icecaps would have also been amazing.

Came here for the fallout!

 

[SlavinAway]

I may be one of the few who actually likes it. Not enough to buy one but that's not saying much as I'm happy with my single jersey. I don't get the hate for the diagonal Canes wordmark.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

And we’re wearing it with black pants. Just makes it worse

Diagonal wordmark is played out by a ton of teams before us. Cant we come up with something new instead playing out something that hasn’t looked good for 20 years?

I guess it isnt a skating Canadian on our jersey or a weird comet looking metal thing.

Once rumors of red whalers jerseys started they could’ve done literally anything else and it would piss me off less. So this doesn’t piss me off. It also does nothing for me, but that’s a win I guess based on the alternative.

 

[Svechhammer]

I mean its probably worth just accepting that black pants are going to be the standard after this year. Between the experimenting last season, the full time homes this year and now this? Writing seems to be on the wall here.

Probably going with a new away jersey next season that makes that possible, and the reds will come back, just with the black pants.

 

[CandyCanes]

The black, red, black, red fit is pretty slick tho. Just wish it was the warning flags vs the word mark.

I agree, the black helmets and pants actually fit with the jersey pretty well.

Compared to the RR of other teams, Carolina's leaves a lot to be desired

I like the wordmark well enough. Not my favorite, but I don't dislike it.

This jersey elicits similar feelings. It's not the one I'm likely to buy, but I like it well enough. Very, very Devils-esque though.

Big logo on the chest is played out by a ton of teams before us...

Seriously? Wordmarks aren't a gimmick, they're one of the oldest styles of hockey jersey design.

 

[DaveG]

Was kinda hoping for the old third jersey logo on silver with red and black accents. I don't hate this, but I also won't be buying it.

Idk. A lot of them suck.

Vegas is like the other diagonals, dumb.
Fishermen and a hockey playing Canadian are just bad. Although not the Oilers logo bad.

Florida’s looks like an minor league baseball’s jersey who is having a beach night theme
SJ’s looks like a cheap chinese knockoff that costs about 25 bucks online/ someone made in their basement.
Too much poop brown on the Bruins one
Dallas looks like you are wearing a green cape over a black shirt
Rangers looks cheap
CBJ ripped off the old Thrasher ones
What is up with the waist stripes on the Flames one? It looks like someone is wearing a martial arts belt
The return of the middle school drawn sabre tooth tiger.
NJs just looks like a white version of STL’s red based jersey, great originality there.

 

[To Be Determined]

at some point, i want the reverse retro to incorporate some dang cooperalls.

I wasn't talking to you, philadelphia

God I hate the Flyers but those are freakin awesome

 

[AD Skinner]

Does anyone actually like the CANES wordmark jerseys?

No

 

[DaveG]

Interestingly I'd have the Sharks/Seals one and the Kings as ones I'd legitimately buy. Sens are pretty nice as well.

 

[AD Skinner]

I actually don't hate the pants and stripes- if they carry those black stripes on the white jersey it would actually work with black pants. The diagonal letters will still be super boring though
