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

[A Star is Burns]

In that form, I like trying to hold back on the red to make the uses of it pop more. I tried using it with either of the stripes and anything more really makes it lose that pop. Maybe on the rear numbers, I could try that.



You've given me a couple good ideas I can try tomorrow.

I agree you need restraint, but I think it's too far in the no pop period direction on the black currently.

What about something like this: (added an away prototype as well)

Could also go with an 'old red' (basically darker and less bright)...

I am take it or leave it regarding the stripe going all the way around, leaning more to leave it than take it.

Yoke the shoulders black?

Did a further tweak to the logo based on something @Gocanes0506 said last night that got me thinking. Enlarged the flags to make them look a bit more draped around the C, and then threw a border around it on the white jersey so that we didn't color flip the logo... (I'm torn if I like doing that

And then I thought, what if we used that duller red instead of the current one the Canes use?

Not bad, I think I could definitely see either of those in use in this league.

I personally think that's about right for the black jerseys. I do think you still showed restraint and it still pops pretty well. Of course, now I'm wondering if the white is suffering from the lack of red. It pops on the back but not so much on the front to me. That one is tougher since there's already so much red on the back.

I like the way it looks. I was more going for a really big C with the flags inside the C but I like what you got here.

I think the red one looks the best but I like the way the C pops on the black ones. The black one at least let the flags show through more. They are a little more hidden with the black background

And its not you but the heck with white jerseys. I wish we would do a not so glittery “silver” grey away jersey like baseball does there’s. Just like those better than blending into the ice with white ones

The only way I think I could bring in more red with the white jersey is to either go with a red yoke, which just doesn't work at all), or to add it as either the main stripe (which would effectively hide the detail of the flags in the C) or the outer stripes, which would then need the inner stripe to go black, which makes it more of a heavy handed stripe on the white than I am intending. I could also make the entire C red, but then you again lose the flags, which I do not want to do. I like the red numbers, I do think that should give enough pop on the ice in use. The C and A for captains and alternates would also be red in this use on the white jersey, so that could help.

Yeah I'm actually surprised at how well this came together. If we rolled all 3 of these looks together, it actually works pretty well. Like, I fully expected that the C wouldn't work as well as it does, and now that I see it, I kind of want the Canes to use a jersey with it on there....

I'm personally not one of the folks that think all the jersey looks need to be consistent. Not that we're actually going to these or anything, but I'd scrap the white personally. I think the front just doesn't get it done for me and I don't think there's a great way to do it as you described. And while I think both red concepts look good, count me as liking the red without the black yoke in this instance.

 

[Svechhammer]

Nothing new or groundbreaking here, but some better views of the jersey itself.

If you took that red one, swapped the "C" for the "strutting Stormy", that would be the perfect SS jersey for our team/affiliation with NC State. I'd buy it in a heart beat.

It is getting pretty silly to not have these things revealed. With it potentially having been leaked the first time, you would have to know it would happen again if you wait forever this time. Unless that's some sort of intentional misdirect, but Waddell commented at one point that was close to the same jersey. It'd also be better if people had a chance to buy them well before the game.

Not only that but if you want to get a personalized jersey or an authentic that doesn't already have the name and number on it in The Eye, we are basically at the point where you won't have it in time for the game if you bought it now.

Not great

Our outdoor game was announced I think February/March 2020 right before Covid if my memory directs me correctly? Pretty crappy they’ve had 3 years to plan and most likely won’t have jersey sales ready in time for the big game.

 

[Svechhammer]

It pains me to no end these will not be widely sold

Red pants on the skaters in this clip too. I mean thats not unusual obviously but if we're making predictions...

Rumor has it the Stadium Series uniforms will be unveiled Jan 26th

Maybe it’s just me, but both of those look pretty…meh. They look like pajamas more than jerseys

Its a Stadium Series jersey. They all have sucked

The only one that didn't suck out loud was NJ going full Christmas Throwback

 

[Svechhammer]

Oh boy, they went there with the helmets

 

[the halleJOKEL]

the whole look is pretty slick ngl

 

[Svechhammer]

Oh shit, I just noticed this on the unveil video

They actually did the thing I've been begging for since the wordmark changed. The C logo is the captaincy patch.
