I never want any words on my jersey. So tacky.

I guess you absolutely hate the Rangers jersey then...

Anyways, I am with you. You shouldn't use wordmarks as a jersey "logo" unless it is stemmed from tradition (e.g. baseball). I don't think finding some artists to come up with a tasteful 2nd Flames logo will be "that" difficult...

Rangers are an original 6 team. That's their logo, it's a little different when we already have one.

I also don't even know what a Ranger is.

old president of Madison Square Garden was awarded an NHL team, his nickname was Tex, and the team was nicknamed Tex's Rangers.

I've always thought of it like park rangers or something. Like the guy in the tower on Red Green.

One of the things that you have to consider is how the Jersey's would come across on T.V. and in the upper rows and the players would look like a big blob of black with a indistinguishable logo hard to read numbers and names.

Plus there is such a thing as too dark and too much black.

Agreed, I am going to post an edit of it and make it more "tv viewable".

It was a first pass and I was trying to juxtapose our current jersey design with the black Team Germany uniforms and the richness of the charcoal New Jersey Nets Uniforms.

By no way do I want this to be a replacement for the red, white or retro jerseys. But I would love it as another third jersey, we have been in need of another dark jersey that is more tasteful than the black jersey with the flaming horse.

Crests (flaming C, numbers, & both flags) in graphite & silver

Very similar to the Black Ice Jerseys.

oh wow! I've never seen those before.

Here is my updated design with changes from feedback.
Thanks for the feedback guys.

- made numbers and "C" white for improved readability.
- Added silver outline around numbers and logos.
- made charcoal cloth of jersey and socks a bit lighter (to avoid one big black blob).

Tomo, I am just curious what the jersey will look like if the main color is yellow instead of silver/grey. Can you make a mock up of that? Thanks

I'll save him the trouble, it will look terrible.

I actually don't mind that. Get rid of the flags on the shoulders and I think it would look pretty sharp.

Ya it's not too bad as a black jersey.

It has been a while since I busted out the mis-spelled fake jersey I saw in a market in Sydney in 2010. I feel compelled to share every so often.

These are for laughs only, given the thread. The yellow name/number on red looks pretty sharp, however. And I don't mind the "C" on the shoulders for an alternate (not unlike the "real" horse head jersey). But they look a bit too cheap for my liking.

Actually, I saw a guy on the concourse this season with one of these (no name or number though), and I couldn't help but ask him where he got it. I can't remember exactly, but something about a friend finding it in Asia somewhere at a market and bringing it back for him. Although obviously really bad fakes, they're so bad that I have to wonder why this design even exists. An old prototype? A hybrid of spare parts at the fake factory?
