That + Mike Smith will make sure I hate the Flames even more next season.

I don't have an inherent problem with Calgary having the Alberta flag on the jersey(we could too!), but I do find it to be pretty funny given that it looks stupid.

Bright red jersey with an ugly blue flag on the shoulder? THAT'LL LOOK GOOD!

And it's just soooo unoriginal. To me it seems like pandering.

A poster on the Sports Logos boards claims he's seen the jerseys and says the striping for the Oilers is the same as the leak, the collar is navy with a white outline, and the outline around the yoke is slightly thicker.

That would be on the unfortunate end of things if the striping is the same.

The blue stripe looks awkward.

Can't believe we're going from a top 5 home jersey to a bottom 5 home jersey. Adidas and the Orange Jerseys are just all one big **** up.

I don't mind the striping change. The whole point of the original jersey was to commemorate the WHA team with the last season in Rexall and to bring forth a new age. Even if the striping is updated to match the NHL jerseys, the orange is still pretty dang sweet.

 

[Del Preston]

Maybe he's wrong or bsing.

I agree the striping looks terrible and it's inconsistent with the logo, numbers, and shoulder yoke where the navy is outlined in white.

The biggest issue I have with the jersey is the massive amount of spacing below the numbers on the arms and above the stripes. It just looks unbalanced. I also hate the white collar but it sounds like that's been taken care of.

I'm the opposite. The smaller striping looks bad in blue. It doesn't stand out nearly enough, so it needs to be bigger. Imo, it's a clear downgrade over what we had

 

[Soundwave]

Wouldn't surprise me if they changed the striping. It basically is the just the white jersey pattern, but done with orange as the primary colour, so the striping would have be changed to match.

I still think the classic white Oilers jersey is the best Oilers jersey.

striping at the bottom should look like this IMO (plus no white collar)

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

Think they will be more like these. I hate the orange jerseys, but I prefer the white numbers to the blue they currently have.

I think this is what the jerseys will end up looking like.

 

[Del Preston]

I don't think the collar is exactly correct but the rest is not bad. A downgrade from the current jerseys but not horrible if this is what they're going with.

The striping does look a fair bit more tolerable in this rendering than the leaked concept.

I like the blue at the bottom of the sleeves. Hope they do that.

Yeah I agree that would be a nice touch.

Yeah I agree that would be a nice touch.

Agreed.

This would be the best option

Except for the arm stripes are lower down for some reason, creating that big gap.

More teasers from Icethetics.

Looks like the Canucks will have the Orca logo on the front and the hockey stick on the shoulder.

Lol...Flames still have the Alberta flag on their shoulders....hahaha....

That's the old Reebok uniform. The lighting in the arena made the blue look navy.
