I agree. I find Detroit and Toronto really boring. I think the classic jerseys with a bit more to them (Boston, Chicago) and even a more modern jersey with the classic elements like San Jose are some of the best. You can definitely go TOO simple on a jersey.

If the Leafs jersey is too boring, there's always these kings ones which are symmetrical around the elbow.

I think it might actually be a bit of an improvement on the red.

Thanks AC!
To me that would have made them 10/10.

As is they are still pretty good.

Chicago really needs to bring back this uniform. One of my favourites in all of sports.

Can you name the 11 NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL teams that have human faces in their logos? (maybe only 9 now).

I think it is great. I am sure they will use the phrase:

"The Kraken Wakes" the title of a book by John Wyndham.

We will all get used to it1

Calgary.

Edit: Tampa gradient thirds.
Edit 2: The Tampa jerseys appear to be speckled, not a true gradient. So it likely is Calgary (because of Alberta's crest).

Agree, it’s just one step above toilet paper. Which is fitting for the Leafs.

As for the name, my top five list would have been:

5) Krakens
4) Sockeyes
3) Sasquatch
2) Rain City Bitch Pigeons
1) Totems

Edit: On further thought, Sasquatch shouldn’t have made the list and Sasquatches sounds lame.

Buccaneers old colours
LA Kings horrible 3rd

It's good, but I definitely prefer the pink. It's more unique and stands out more, IMO.

Sasquatch and Totems would'vd been amazing. Might've made a bandwagon fan out of me.
