OT: Official Jersey and Merch Thread III

[Deku]

Also extremely pumped to have a nice away jersey again. Never even considered buying a 3D white.

Yeah I don't hate our current home jerseys but the road ones really suck

 

[Upgrayedd]

If these are in fact replicas my only issues are the collars and i personally preferred the gold tweak to the cape on the logo. All in all though they still look sharp!

 

[jhutter]

I'm probably being overly critical, but I was hoping that there'd be some kind of modern addition to the jersey, whether it be an updated shoulder patch or minor change elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I love the way they look, it just seems a little half ass to me to do a rebranding that likely cost them next to nothing to do.

 

[JackieDaytona]

Yup, I think it would look a bit nicer with the =O= on shoulder than the S. But all that is pedantic - these jerseys are awesome!

The gold tweak is still probably there, they likely didn’t notice and used the previous logos available.

Yes you are. This was one of those times the organization needed to get it right and I think they did. This was the cheapest and easiest decision they could have made and it will pay off tremendously. Changing anything or trying to be clever was ultimately going to lead to failure.

Is it not the most Ottawa Senators thing ever to do a "rebranding" that doesn't cost any money? I love the logo, and I love the jerseys, but it's still the cheap way of doing things.

How does it not cost money? They would have had to design it for the New Jersey template and pay to get new branding everywhere.
And who cares you could say the same about any other team doing the same thing over the last two decades

How is it the cheap way of doing things? You think they are just going to blow the dust off of a warehouse full of jerseys and merchandise from 1994?

 

[Fandlauer]

Im going to laugh at the massive troll job if next season starts with zero changes.

Is there a cheaper way of rebranding a jersey than taking an exact design from a previous jersey and putting it on a new one?

Imagine complaining about going back to the original jersey/logo because it's too "cheap."

Imagine having a differing opinion. Again, I'm happy that they're going back to the 2d, I had just hoped that there was some kind of modern spin on it.

Kinda funny you say that, with the picture a few posts above is sporting a Yashin nameplate.

Hell, you never know with this organization.

I am as critcal of Euge as they come, but by your argument, the Wings, Habs, Rags, Broons, Leafs etc. etc. are the cheapest franchises in the league.

The teams you mentioned have 100 year old histories. We're not talking about the same thing.

I do not see the problem. The issue here is that the Senators should never have tried to fix something that was not broken back in 2008. The whole redesign should have never happened and the Senators logo would have followed in the same historical trend as those teams you mentioned.

This re-brand is not a rebrand in the sense you are making out to be, but rather an indication that the Senators organization realized they had something good and are rectifying the mistake they made, which is surprising considering Melnyk's ego in general.

Sens fans: please bring old logo and uniform.
*Sens do the rare thing of listening to us*
Sens fans: LOL MELNYK IS SO CHEAP.

Noticed the Sabres just dropped their new jerseys...feel like its a good play from Buffalo to keep their fans a bit engaged...tough work for the bottom 7 teams who have seemingly been cast aside for what is looking like several months of notta!

 

[Dino Tkachuk]

We will (hopefully) get there eventually too and it would be great if we did it with the same or just a slightly tweaked logo. Those same teams wouldn't be in this discussion 100 years later if they re-did their logo every 10-20 years.

Bruce’s article mentions Labour Day as a potential important date to keep in mind.

This lines up with Sports stores allegedly receiving shipments the first week of September.
