I said piping you said striping. Totally different and unrelated IMO. I said I was glad the piping was gone and you quoted me saying they have striping. I mentioned that they are different things. I'm not being patronizing I was just trying to politely correct you since you seemed to infer that I was saying that piping = striping.
I would say that you pretty much only talk about the logos in your complaints. That is a bit different. I'm looking at the actual jersey, not so much the logos, which I agree leave something to be desired.
Here is what I'm talking about :
Awful trapezoid shapes, or whatever the hell those are on the sleeves of the home and away, on this Sens jersey:
Awful vertical piping on Avs jersey:
this showcases ugly colors (pee gold instead of yellow), weird shapes on arm, weird shapes on pants:
Then of course the Flames. Perhaps the worst offenders. Weird shapes under the arms, bad vertical piping, nonsensical vertical stripes under arms that don't extend far enough and clash with the vertical stripes on pants. :
BTW here is the icethetics article where I took most of the bad jersey pics from. Their solutions are pretty good. Lots of classic features. Classic colours, horizontal stripes on arms and bottom of jersey, no funny shapes (that Coyotes jersey has funny shapes but in the context of the aztec looking stripes).

Nah, don't hate them. Not passionate about jerseys either. Passionate about aesthetics, I suppose, as it's how I pay my bills. '06 era Reebok big time stinks. These also mostly stink. Not only the logos, also the stripes, the lack of stripes, the soccer-ness, the branding, the 50/50 vertical split, and so on.
