Fantastic? Yeah right.
Looks like they took a step back from the previous ones. Sure, simplistic..clean. But unfinished is a better description. They basically took the old ones and just subtracted a bunch of stuff. How creative. Without a bottom stripe of any kind they just come off as practice jerseys. That's the first thought I get when I see it on the actual player. 90s, perhaps, which would make it look on par at that time, but not present day.
If you want to refer to "cluttered" or "complex" look at european team jerseys. NHL jerseys of the past decade aren't nearly as bad. Dunno what the big fuss over that is about.
Doesn't really work for my taste, personally, and as a designer. The straight cut from teal to black looks very dull. A white, orange stripe/edging would work much better to separate the two.
