GDT: Hurricanes visit Sharks 7:30. Possible return of Sorenson

[Coily]

Labanc thinking we're up 9 goals or something...

 

[one2gamble]

I actually like them a bit. Don’t love them but I definitely wouldn’t say hideous

You're wrong

 

[seroes]

The nhl really needs to step in and ban those jerseys.

 

[The Nemesis]

During the last intermission I was cleaning out a shelf of miscellaneous junk in the other room and found a box of assorted hockey card stuff. Binders, pages, and some of the white cardboard longboxes for transporting sets and whatever in. Most of the longboxes were empty or had batches of doubles from early-to-mid-00s sets. But one of them had just 2 cards in it: one was a nondescript Marco Sturm card from one of the last couple seasons before the trade for Jumbo. But why I'm really writing the post was the other card. This (for the sake of easy posting I composited both sides of the card into the same image):

That's amazing.

I should totally photoshop Jumbo onto the front of the card.

I do want to take minor umbrage with the writing on the back though: BC doesn't have counties. It has an equivalent, but I know that whatever the term used to define them is, it's not 'county'. Wikipedia says like 5 provinces still use the term 'county' for their regional districts, but I've never heard it in use myself.

But who cares about that. Look at this glorious thing!

Those jerseys aren't that bad

 

[KirbyDots]

What, you don't like faux histoire chic?

Philistine.

Makes me think of Adam Ant.

Those jerseys aren't that bad

They're pretty bad though.

Honestly, if you go for a diagonal wordmark jersey, it's like 85% likely you're gonna blow it if you're not the Rangers.

 

[Lebanezer]

Instead of building on how they’ve played the first two periods they’ve decided to turtle.

I see them as meh rather than bad. The helmet decal is certainly an eye sore to me but the sweaters aren't bad. They're not old school Islander fisherman bad or those old Kings sweaters.

Idk, I appreciate that they're at least simple. There are certainly worse jerseys in the league.

TMac suddenly back behind the bench?

Meh, I always liked those.

This is the 2nd or 3rd penalty on the sharks from the same situation. In the D-zone the winger comes out too aggressively/fast and the canes player reverses to get inside position on them so they take a penalty trying to stop the slot shot. PDB needs to tell them to cover the center of the ice, cut off the angles.

 

[jakeytown]

Ah shit it’s because I’m not wearing my Blackpink shirt anymore. The sharks only play well when I wear their merch. Brb gonna throw it back on

Did it against Calgary, too. Not exciting or anything, but it has worked thus far...

 

[Ronnie Residue]

You're wrong

What’s the issue? They’re a little boring but not at all hideous

 

[Mattb124]

Really not liking Radil's game, big but plays soft and weak.

 

[one2gamble]

The canes schedule sounds like a sharks east coast schedule....

The Angry Gorton's Fisherman jerseys were so bad they were awesome. Kinda like those Tampa Bay "storm" jerseys with the wave trim and rain/lightning printed on the dark blue.

The Kings ones, you mean these:

Cause those were awful. Awful like the Ducks' Wild Wing alts.

 

[Coily]

The Burger King jersey is the GOAT

 

[The Nemesis]

A game-used Vlasic stick. I wonder how many slick Marc-Edouard Bure goals he'll have scored with it.

 

[drunksage]

f*** f***

 

[Pavelski2112]

Game's not over yet, guys

I agree with all this.

There are a number of design problems. "Canes" doesn't have enough letters to make the diagonal line look clean and the plain red against white looks sloppy/lazy. Instead of mimicking the Rags they should have looked to the Red Wings for inspirations, something like their vintage replica jersey would have been great. With you on it's hard to make diagonal words work on a jersey.
