2019-2020 Around the League Thread - Part IV

[MarkT]

Oh, the worst Kings jersey of all time, dude. And don't give me the Los Angeles Burger Kings, the 90's jerseys rock. If they were smart, they'd wear the ~1992 threads.

I'd actually really like the rumored powder blue and light red, if they did it properly. You just don't want it to look like a WHL jersey (some stupid RBK style template).

I guess it's a matter of preference, but I love those Kings jerseys.

What I'm hoping is basically a home jersey that matches one of these:

I'd be happy with just purple and black, but it's Seattle so I image green has to be in there somewhere.

 

[UncleRisto]

I also think these are the best jerseys in football

Oh man, they should def have gloves that are all black on black except with red manufacturer wordmarks.

Oh, these colors would be sweet. So 90's.

If they chose Seattle Sockeye(s), they should basically wear this Pens jersey with red in there. Maybe slightly more green in that blue.

 

[Richard88]

Lost a semi to Sweden though.

That's more of the Finland I know...

 

[UncleRisto]

Hurtful, dude.

 

[MarkT]

Please not another NHL team using red and/or blue. We have enough.

 

[UncleRisto]

There's no light blue team, though, and you suggested black.

 

[Richard88]

Hurtful, dude.

You do have your moments though I'll give you that

 

[MarkT]

Black with purple and green. Hell if I thought it was realistic I'd drop the black.

Even with light blue, the away jersey would still look like a lot of other teams. Plus the idea reminds me of those ugly Atlanta Thrashers jerseys.

Take it back. Lol. Nah, the stripes were bad on that one, but the Thrashers colors are great.

 

[MarkT]

Oh, and by the way, I used shoes for my examples because the concept of using black with purple and green highlights is apparently a completely new concept in sports jerseys. Imagine that - a new team with an entirely unique color scheme!

 

[MarkT]

Take it back. Lol. Nah, the stripes were bad on that one, but the Thrashers colors are great.

This isn't ugly?

 

[UncleRisto]

This isn't ugly?

Well first of all that's an infant jersey.

It'd be fine with symmetric sleeves. Within its context. Even as it is it's a unique color scheme in the NHL.

Seattle Purple Cobras?...

Really? Why?

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Really? Why?

Because red on black with no accents is my favorite. I just wish San Fran had gone with some matte black helmets to really make it incredible.

I always thought the 49ers had a decent, but just short of great uniform set. I love the gold helmets and pants with red jerseys, but they were just a little too plain. They almost got it right with the update in the 90s but ruined it because it was the 90s and they insisted on throwing in those awful black drop shadows on the numbers and black trim everywhere. They could've tweaked it properly but then just decided to go completely back to the originals.

By themselves, yeah, those jerseys are kinda cool, but they don't make sense with the rest of that uniform set. Kinda wish the Falcons would do something like this.

 

[Avalanche]

 

[The Abusement Park]

No surprise there.

 

[UncleRisto]

lmao

 

[Balthazar]

 

[Avs_19]

Lemieux's suspension getting announced during a pandemic when no one is playing is very much on brand.

 

[Richard88]

lmao

Must be devastating for Kerfoot to miss out on a Selke nomination...

 

[Pokecheque]

FTR the Evolving Wild twins have Pietrangelo for Norris, and Nichushkin for Selke.

The Selke always feels like an award they don't get right a lot of the time. More often than not it's just the guy who scores a lot of points and has a rep for playing good defense.

 

[McMetal]

Red on black with no white accents is my favorite look in a hockey jersey. Especially as an entire uniform.

I don't get why that isn't used more, it looks so sharp. I really wanted Vegas to do that. Call themselves the Vegas Blackjacks and go red and black like playing cards. I know the league vetoed any references to gambling during the naming process, but IMO that would have looked really nice.
