Yeah, but in this case my GF was smoking hot and was kidnapped from me by some trend-hopping dummies with no sense of history or aesthetics and they've put her in a cryogenic chamber, futurama-style and refuse to release her even though everyone is begging them to. Not only that, but everyone else I know in different cities are ditching their peroxide hair bimbo boob job GFs and going back to those classic babes who have aged beautifully and gracefully. In fact, let's look at that list again:
1. Jonathan Toews, Chicago Blackhawks
Original 6 jersey, never updated, no piping, no black, no trend-hopping, "living in the past". A true work of art - designed in the 50s.
2. Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks
Same
3. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers
Original 6 jersey, never updated, no piping, no black, no trend-hopping, "living in the past". Designed in the 50s.
4. Alex Ovechkin, Washington Capitals
Pretty bad jerseys, but MUCH BETTER than they were from 95-07, ditching the black and teal. Their currents are at least the same colours as the OGs and they use a retro third - designed in the 70s.
5. Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins
Another retro update. Miles and miles better than the 95-02 versions and infinitely better than the abominations from 07 when they unfathomably ditched their OG colours. They won a cup this season. Coincidence? I don't think so.
6. Patrice Bergeron, Boston Bruins
Original 6 jersey, never updated, no piping, no black, no trend-hopping, "living in the past". Designed in the 40s.
7. Zach Parise, Minnesota Wild
A strange team with no history. I'm willing to bet the best selling Parise is the retro-inspired white with the squared of shoulders, sensical striping patterns.
8. Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens
Original 6 jersey, never updated, no piping, no black, no trend-hopping, "living in the past". Designed in the 1917, but the currents most closely reflect the ones from the 40s.
9. Ryan McDonagh, New York Rangers
See Lundqvist
10. Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers
The oilers. The oilers. The team so bad, they should have been relegated to the AHL a decade ago. The team whose "No Good" thread has millions of posts with no signs of slowing down, with no shortage of material. The stupidest bunch of management and owners in professional sports. Even these dimwits know that retro jerseys are superior. Probably a broken-clock thing, but they've gone full retro since 2013. They reverted to their OG COLOURS (noticing a trend?) from an ugly-ass midnight blue they used from 96-12
It's time to accept it, dissen. Black is out. Eyeliner is out. Metal and emo are out. If the whole league goes retro is it even retro anymore?
