I'm not a big fan of it, just looks really generic imo. Same oilers logo and white on white. Lame.
It's just a road alternate. It does not invoke the WHA jerseys. It might have if our normal ones today were copper and blue, but they are already retro. So it's just a colour swap of what is normal.
It does look really nice though. I don't blame people for liking it. But for a 4th jersey, that one should be bold. Stand out. Look at what Carolina and Minnesota did, or even Colorado. Ride the fine line of going nuts with it, while also being stylish.
As it is, even though our 4th looks nice, we will get used to it extemely quickly because it's just so normal.
And maybe it's just personal taste, but I don't see what is so shameful about those other logos of the past. The modern one is the settled best one, but the other ones aren't bad.
Idk, if they really felt that the true retros of past were so ugly, they might as well have gone with the 90s-2000s copper and blue instead.
