Coyotes Reverse Retro Jersey Discussion

[The Feckless Puck]

I've never understood that. Are we the Arizona "sometimes" Lizards/Geckos/Gila Monsters? The moon at least ties in to the howling. Do Coyotes eat lizards? Hate when those little f***ers get in my house. I tell the dog it's his job to keep them out but he's not having it.

Lizards eat bugs like earwigs, so I let them stay in the house at least until my cats find them.

He stopped hiding the bottom trim. Team player. Leader.

 

[TheLegend]

Is it though? He's sneakily got the desertscape all bunched up to let every one know that part isn't worth seeing.

Don’t be too sure...

The purple hat is new... green version been around for the last 20 years.

Nice taste.

Just rescued another favourite hat from storage...

No he's like, "Come on, do I really need to show the bottom trim?"

 

[Bonsai Tree]

Oh good God. I leave for a bit and return home to find that the Coyotes will look like Christmas Tree ornaments on the ice.

This is pretty cool.

I love that they’re ultra non traditional and I love the bright, crazy colors. I like that they’re a middle-finger to the rest of the hockey world. I just wish the trim was done better.

Will they have little bells on their trim which will jingle as they rush up the ice?

OT: I just got married.

The brides maid uniform is the Dallas White jersey with the rest white too.

Congrats on the marriage! And @moosemeister congrats on the postponement!!

Are you suggesting that the neon purple is feminine? Or juvenile or both or...?

I think the purple is great, personally. I love the primary logo and primary color. It’s just everything else I don’t like.

Neither feminine nor juvenile, just Christmas Tree ornamenty.

No offense, but I’m wondering if you have a f***ed up looking Christmas tree. Lol.

He's married. He's totally f***ed, period.

Latest tweet from the Coyotes features a design brief with a brand standards guide. Confirms the lizard is a Gecko.

We have a kokapelli sun ornament in our garden. Interestingly, there are cacti in the design very similar to the Coyotes jersey.

Haha well I'll be... Guess I learned something new today.

Felt like Gila monster makes more sense then a gecko at least but damn!

I like that the name is Peyote Coyote on the head logo, though.

Neither make sense just like purple and orange don't make sense. But hey, we're the Coyotes. Dumbf***ery is what we excel at.

Purple and orange make sense color-wise, but I assume you're getting more at the encroachment onto the Suns' colors. I don't care for the jersey too, or the entire concept line the league has gone with here really, but it's clear that because they already have resurrected the kachina line, this is it in terms of retro jerseys without coming up with a new, dated look, kind of like how Las Vegas invented something entirely new. Plus, because they were doing a reverse on the color palette, you either were going to get an orange jersey or purple as those two colors were the only others of significance on the previous incarnation.

I'm sure a few of these jerseys across the league are going to stick and make it into teams' regular wardrobes, so in terms of that the reverse retros will be a success. I'm sure that they'll come up with another of these broad stretching themes for the entire league to do again sometime in the future to try and make things stick for this crop's duds, and surely nothing is stopping a team from coming out with another independently designed jersey in the meantime.

I disagree. Purple and orange is the Suns but has zip to do with Arizona and a Kachina is authentic. Makes sense and would look cool to have a Kachina with authentic Arizona colors. I just think it was a wasted opportunity. We have so much potential with the Kachina theme. I thought getting a new owner, especially a Hispanic one would get us closer to being an "Arizona" team but I guess the Easter colors sell better to the masses and in the end, that's all they care about. Plus, bringing back the original Kachina and changing the colors on the new garbage cost them next to nothing if anything at all since there was no design change. That's why I'm not optimistic we'll see any independent design like you suggest. Always follow the money.

These purple jerseys make a lot more sense then the rebrand to the Howling head.

Purple was a color of the team from the start with the moon logo which was at center ice.

You could say the red jerseys we have are influenced by the Cardinals which are next door.

 

[Heldig]

From the brand book,
"The color palette: forest green, brick red, sand, sienna, and purple. "The colors, with exception of the purple, were drawn from a Native American palette,"

The Kachina head logo is IMO one of the best in sports.

Wasn't even available on the Canadian NHL shop website and with shipping, duties, and exchange rate it comes out to over $400 on the US site. Please kill me.

Ordered an OEL one today. He won me over with wanting to stay in Arizona. Loyalty to a city is so rare in sports now.

I don't get why it isn't on there. Or any of the Kachina stuff. I see so many Canadians complain on Twitter that they can't get Kachina merch because of the shipping. Nearly all aren't fans but love the logo.
