Looks like sherbet


They should probably be a little less obvious about applying the Lark filter on Instagram and calling it a day.

Don't think so.

Walked behind a guy and his son at the Dome for the split squad game. Little guy had last year's, dad had this year's ... very different colour.

I saw some of these in edmonton last weekend. I assumed that dumb oiler fans had washed them with bleach or something, but I guess they were just dumb for purchasing them in the first place.

I am not talking about last year's colour scheme, I am talking about these:

I know this is petty but in a day and age where everyone rags on the Donald about his orange complextion and calling him a Cheeto. Then the Oilers go and trot out a Cheeto jersey with pride.

No Good

It was only a few years ago when the Oilers were touting the Copper and Blue. I don't know what they are thinking changing Copper to pylon orange. It's gross. At least Philly is just orange and black.

It was inspired by their defensemen.
