Confirmed with Link: New Away Jersey Reveal August 20th

[Svechhammer]

With all the jerseys side by side, it really highlights the lack of coherence between all 3 jerseys.

The lack of cohesion is apparently by design

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Actually, I think the 3 different jerseys is clever. And I do like the flags in the C on the away jersey; it is reinforcing a brand they're increasingly using, so.

I'm upgrading from "meh" to "not bad".

If they were hell bent on using the word mark, this is as good as it was going to get.

It would be better with the secondary logo, but then it wouldn’t be the secondary logo anymore.

The actual black on red flag stripe is so awesome and would look great on all 3 of these jerseys. The red on red just looks like Joe from Blue's Clues (who my kids seem to like better than Steve which is completely incorrect). Black in that stripe and the swirl logo and this would be way better, in my opinion. Oh well- winning in them will associate positive feelings and will bring a lot of doubters around

 

[DougieSmash]

Epic mediocre. Just bad.

It really is all over the place. Kind of wish the Home and Aways had at least held some core similarities (with the difference coming from the main logo). The third jersey can be the wild card.

Maybe they're planning on redesigning the home jerseys in the future to match up with these new whites?

I would still have preferred a black wordmark, just to make the warning flags in the C stand out. The way it is now, they just get washed out, much like the warning flag stripe. A little too matchy-matchy for my tastes.

I'm also a little disappointed the numbers are back to red on black. I actually thought the black on grey from the previous set worked extremely well with our colors.

This and the Bolts jersey didn't age very well, and most people knew they wouldn't at the time. I think our new jersey will be looked at as the same in the future. It's not an offensive design, it just lacks creativity and is bland.

At least they didn't try to be too bold and create something like these:

 

[Svechhammer]

In case anyone was wondering about the Captaincy patch



Where the hell are they going to put the Stanley Cup Finals patch on them in the spring?

If we miss the playoffs, I think we know what to blame then.

Lower left. Duh.

 

[Svechhammer]

Lower left. Duh.

Oh shit, we're gonna be the first team to wear patches like a tramp stamp at the NHL level

 

[Novacane]

I’m not in love but I’ll get used to it like every other jersey I haven’t immediately attached to

I was pretty OK with this design.

Until this.

I want a goddamn explanation from the front office as to how you have a C and an A already designed into the main visual element of the jersey, and you let some ****ing marketing school flunkie put a DIFFERENT MOTHER****ING FONT on the captains' jerseys.

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i like them, think they will look nice in motion

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

So would you say they are dysfunctional? Makes sense!

I don't really care 1 bit about jerseys, but have learned that unless you are the Swamp Rabbits, you can't design one that is universally liked.

I'm totally cool with the 3 different jerseys look. I think it reinforces the "reckless fun" nature of the franchise. Plus, it feels like yet another finger poke to the eye of the hockey traditionalists.

That said, I'm liking the new sweaters. I like the red sleeve stripe. I might have added a small flag logo on those maybe, but otherwise, I think it is a fine look.

Maybe we should just swap brands with the Swamp Rabbits.

 

[andy500]

It's so plain. Bit of a shame. They did a few things right, but got some big things wrong.

I saw someone on another site nominate us as the Redneck Rangers

 

[Joe McGrath]

Should’ve just went with Jerks instead of Canes.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Having distinctly different home and road sets is not a new trick. Montreal has been doing it for a century and Detroit almost that long. Add a third jersey to the mix and there you are.

Using 3 different logos takes it a step farther, but it's really not a very big step. And only about a half-step past Robo-Penguin era Pittsburgh, where they had the diagonal letters on the road. Their home and third jerseys technically had the same logo but the overall look of the crests were visually very distinct.

 

[A Star is Burns]

I'm not shocked most here don't like it. I do. I don't really care if we have three different jerseys either, but I know a lot do. I don't really mind word mark, I know most do. At the end of the day, just win and less people will be worried about what they look like.

jfwp is always the final answer.
