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

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Yeah I think the problem is grey/silver and red, and specifically, our shade of red, rather than the amount its used. At that point, you're just going to look like Ohio State. And if you downplay the silver enough it ends up looking like Detroit.

Its why I didn't go full on color swap but applied the entire Canes palate to the IceCaps design....View attachment 596551

Sometimes nostalgia doesn’t work. The red one looks pretty good.

Not a fan of the reverse retro jersey design wise (especially the Canes "logo"), and also it's strange they're calling a jersey introduced in 2019 retro. They should've had the old flag warning logo with the triangle behind it as the logo for the reverse retro. That would've been way better, and they'd bring back a logo that was retired years ago.

Whatever, if the outdoor stadium jerseys are the same as the leaked photos from a while back, it's not as big of a deal for me. Hopefully they mothball these new reverse retro jerseys after a fairly short amount of time though (I'm not sure how long the league is gonna have teams wearing them). However, I will be kind of pissed if they change the outdoor jerseys from the leaked photos though.

I think its becoming obvious that these 'Reverse Retro' jerseys are single year designs that allow teams to experiment with looks for 2 games a year before never wearing them again. Would not be shocked if it inevitably just morphs into a type of annual 'City Jersey' like the NBA and MLB have been experimenting with in recent years. That allows teams to really push the design boundaries every year

That's what I assumed, and certainly hope for. Unlike some short lived jerseys though, this one for the Canes is not what I care to see recycled or brought back etc. in the future.

Cool that the marketing guy responded with a legit reason why they used the Canes lettering. Kinda dumb of the NHL to put guidelines on what is a 2 off jersey. Let go crazy dont restrict them

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Caps one is pretty good.

 

[Svechhammer]

They could have also gone with IceCaps colors/theme with a Canes spin....

 

[cptjeff]

Enough with this icecaps stuff. Somebody recolor the 2000s Generals jersey.

Drag a Canes version of those out in a game against Dallas for laughs.

That's so evil that I love it, Dallas would be required to wear a 99-07 era jersey, only acceptable alternative would be the Mooterus.

Dallas should do a Cleveland Barons throw back

San Jose should do the road version of the Barons and play eachother in them just to confuse everyone. Let the chaos commence.

That would be good. Or do the Seals against the Barons and don't educate anyone as to the reason why!

Maybe you all can help with this - I had a thought to create an acorn shaped logo using the Capital Dome as the shell, and.... I mean....

I feel like there is definitely potential with something like this. The problem is, I have no idea what to do on the inside. One potential thought I had was to treat it like a shield, kind of like the Rangers (ok, totally like the Rangers), and.... I'm not sold.

I'm just kind of stuck. It feels like this should be a great base for something.

When the concept of Raleigh on the jerseys came up yesterday and I said it would have been great for the Stadium Series jersey, I also immediately thought something to this effect would be great (specifically the shell) for that (or perhaps in general or for a "City" type jersey if they ever do that), but I don't have the design talent to mock it up. I think you're onto something.

Raise some warning flags from the top of the dome, shade the acorn with Canes colors to give it some 3D appearance and call it a day. When you put the stuff inside like you did on the second image, it goes from looking like an acorn as you were going for, to looking like a shield. That takes away from the whole idea I would think.

Edit: I would also make it leaning a bit, the straight up and down doesn't look as good to me for some reason.

I'm thinking it could even be relatively simplistic on what goes on the inside, even down to the C with the flags, and maybe even the collegiate style one that is on the vintage Stormy logo.

I mean I'm not opposed to it looking like a shield, as long as it keeps that acorn shape to give a subtle nod to Raleigh.

Thought about it over lunch.... The shield concept stuck with me, and I made this:

I’m still waiting for someone to design a sick Canes logo that has Black Beard holding the warning flags.

There was a really cool looking pirate Canes logo on the old boards thread about jerseys but I haven't been able to find it since that board shut down

Was it this? Just found this on Google. This is pretty dope other than I just want to see Black Beard’s face instead, since he’s a part of NC’s history, and he’s cool lookin haha.

Most of that confusion being “what the **** are the Cleveland Barons?”

A bad ass one, though.
