Only thing they're missing is flags.

Flags are awesome.

I like it. Blues have always been in the discussion for nicest unis in the league, through all their iterations (IMO)

Very nicely done. Not a revolution by any stretch, just returning to how they SHOULD look. Pittsburgh, Ottawa and Calgary next and we will have undone the Edge era.

No kidding. Their jersey has the same piping issue the Blues just fixed. Makes it so much more sad we have another year of them.

Colorado also needs to fix theirs. Can't think of any other teams that still have piping, but I'm sure there are at least a few.

Nashville and Anaheim as well as Calgary, Colorado, Buffalo, Ottawa and Pittsburg all have the edge piping garbage all over their jerseys. With Calgary, Colorado and Nashville being the absolute worst. Anaheim's new look is pretty bad though because there's something like 5 colours on their set plus a terrible logo plus vertical stripes and piping.

I would definitely prefer Calgary to go full retro, but even if they just cleaned up the current set it would be a HUGE improvement. They also need to get rid of the flags.

No piping + new shoulder patch replacing the flags = solid gold

Good call, I forgot about Colorado. Great colours, horrible jersey. I'm really looking forward to their re-design

Forgot about the Ducks. Nashville though, I like. It works on their jersey somehow

And Washington, LA, Columbus. It will take a long time to be rid of the Edge disaster. I wish more teams would have done what the Devils did. Pittsburgh and Ottawa still have identical designs as each other, seven years later.
Nashville and Buffalo dont really bother me because they have bottom stripes and the piping is subtle.

Ugh, those too.

How cool would it be in 2015 if:

Pittsburgh brought back the gold

Washington kept their current colours but styled around their 2000 jersey (and never brought back that terrible font)

Ottawa wore the stripes full-time with their 2000 era logo

Calgary wore anything close to their classics (I'll vote for the one I designed!)

Colorado kept the colours and logo and cleaned up the striping

and

LA went to gold and black with a much more interesting and royal logo

If Ottawa went to those striped jerseys my irrational hatred from the Heatley-Alfredsson years would be almost gone.

Those look great.

I'd for sure buy a new jersey if the Flames brought out something classic like that.

Hopefully Burke and Treliving are paying attention.

Not meaning to advertise, it's just the picture I have here. But, I would adore this:

I'm glad the Blues didn't. I've seen white logo concepts for the Blues and they look odd

Edit:
Here's one:

Looks to me like there's a lighter blue on the away logo.
