Don't get me wrong, I like the traditional uniform design, BUT with so many teams switching to this look it is ruining them for me. They are so vanilla and homogenized.
Phoenix, Carolina, Dallas, it's like they have given up on any flavour and are using a beer league uniform template that let's them choose a colour and insert crest and shoulder patches here.
See that's the thing. Hockey uniforms are supposed to be pretty simple. Historically the only variations have been number of vertical stripes, thickness of stripes, and presence or absence of shoulder yoke. What is supposed to differentiate teams from each other is team colours and unique but simple logos, not wild and funky patterns on their uniforms.
