Oilers Darkening blue to navy for jerseys next year

[ujju2]

How wrong you are

I'll get mine day 1 of release

I probably won't be quite as quick - I still gotta decide on what player I want. Got a McDavid last year and already had an RNH that's too small.

I got myself a Lucic one and my best friend bought himself a Draisaitl one last week. Looks like I'll wait until those new ones come out before I buy a Larsson jersey.

I did a quick colour replacement in Photoshop.

Quick? You're telling me. Terrible Job DP. I expect a better effort. You'll never make it in the bigs, you practice like Eberle.

The only real issue I have is the lack of a classic historical jersey.

Dunno might just be me.


But I like how the Habs have minimally changed over a century (a few missteps at first). Same with the RedWings.

I hate the teams that change every few years. Like it loses its grandeur. The kings are a mess.

While we're all requesting stuff, do these white ones

My takeaway here is thank god we went orange next year. The navy looks fairly good as a secondary colour, but I really don't like the navy primary. Our away gets worse too, but not too much.

Haha i like how ppl went from hating it to actually liking it once they saw the mock. I actually like the navy blue better as well esp for the logo. If it's close to the mock I'm fine with it.

Most things are like that though

Not a fan. The light blue looks way better.

 

[thadd]

Please.... no more orange!!!

 

[JarvisFunk]

Anyone think they may change the away jersey to match the original WHA road jerseys? Basically mirror the home jersey and change the blue shoulders to orange...

I really hope they do, it's dumb to have two different jersey templates.

 

[McWeber]

I like the light blue on the orange but I would be good with them having navy on the whites.

I think when they bring back the navy blue for 2018-19 they will go back to the yoke-less design like this, but without the copper and red accents:

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Dark blue looks unreal.

Bright blue/orange is way too loud to be wearing everygame.

I did a quick colour replacement in Photoshop.

God, that navy blue looks so much better. The royal looks washed out and faded.

 

[Soundwave]

Here's the 96-97 era white jerseys with the dark blue and with the blue shoulder yokes:

Not bad actually.

You should do one with a picture form this year they the gloves and put a stripe on the pants this year.

 

[La Bamba]

I like the navy blue but I don't think it goes well with bright orange. I hope I'm wrong..

[CantHaveTkachev]

damn, those are sharp!

Agreed, the navy is a real improvement. I hope that's the only change. Reminds me of the Otters' thirds.

Bright colour + dark to balance it out.

While we're all requesting stuff, do these white ones

If I can figure out how to change the main jersey colour to white without it looking terrible I'll do it.

 

[Peter Zezel]

Please.... no more orange!!!

I'm with you on that. Although the navy blue makes them more palatable.

 

[THall4]

How wrong you are

I'll get mine day 1 of release

me too

but this time with Draisaitl on it ...nah **** it..im getting McDavid

 

[Cogliano13Gagner89]

Are there plans to remove the huge numbers off the shoulders? I find it to be so amateur-ish, like something you would see in a ball hockey jersey. That's my complaint, i got no issues with going navy.

 

[edmoil3]

So my Mcdavid jersey ($240) and my wives orange ($140) won't even colour match the team on the ice. I refuse to buy another one. What an oiler move. Why cant we start tradition like the wings/ black hawks or bruins?

 

[Diamondillium]

I'm still not overly happy about the change, but if they look like Del's pictures, then at least it could be worse. Those still are sexy jerseys, just a lot less sexy than our current setup. Since they're insisting on orange primary, then the navy works well with it.

Let's take a minute to remember how bad the change was for us last time we switched suppliers. Easily worst jerseys in our history.
