Thanks for the effort guys, but I would say about 95% of the jerseys in here are absolutely atrocious.
Things we should never do:
- Make the red darker. That would mean we would be making our primary colour maroon. Maroon is a hideous colour that seems like it was invented in the 90s and has gladly died there.
- Add more colours. No Blue, no different tones of red... nothing new. A very stylish (maybe gay) friend of mine once told me, whenever possibly, reduce the number of colours you wear to 2, 3 at most. Anything more than that and you look tacky. So that brings me to my next point.
Things we need to get rid of:
-Black. Our jersey as it stands has 4 colours - red, white, gold, black. Way too many, hence why it looks super tacky.
-Shoulder patches. I'm not opposed to a simple shoulder patch, like the flaming tower above, but flags? That's super tacky.
-Weird piping/vertical striping. What the hell were they thinking?
Sorry to say, but as it stands, our current home and away set are probably the worst jerseys in the NHL and possibly some of the worst of all time. Yes and that includes the Canucks V jersey (Same colour palette), Flaming pedestal (again same colours), Mighty Ducks 3rd, etc. However, our retros might be some of the best jerseys in NHL history. We need to go back to those, or a slight (very slight) modification.
So Ken King, please go back to our retro jerseys. The team looks awesome wearing them.
