I was never a fan of the blue jerseys, but I think the curse they seemed to carry really solidified the hatred.

I liked the light blue jersey. Thought it was really sharp. the darker blue one was kind of a mess.

Couldn't disagree more. Patterns and what not were fine, but the light blue itself... well, they looked like one half of a powder puff game. I have yet to see a uniform that looks good in that color.

It's not about masculinity, the color in general is just bad. If they used the darker blue from the late 70's or hell, even the darker blue from the second winter classics, it would be much better. The masculinity is more of a side effect.

Which is why I said decade instead of 35 years. They didn't put vegas gold all over that arena to replace it a couple years down the line. Seats are re-upholstered every 10-15 years, so I wouldn't bet on a color change being considered until Consol gets it's first round of renovations in a dozen or so years (see: Lightning, Tampa Bay).
Vehemently disagree. That powder blue was gorgeous, especially when paired with white. It's probably my favorite shade of blue for a hockey team, but there's examples of that shade looking glorious in all other sports as well in my eyes (Chargers, Nuggets, Royals, etc.). It should never be a primary color for a team called the Pittsburgh Penguins, but my ideal jersey set would have dark and light 1980-92 jerseys as the primaries and the powder blues as alternate.

I actually really liked the powder blues... at first.
Then came the troubles.
As for the new ones... we all know they are gonna be double-ugly, right?

I think the only people that could possibly be excited about it are still sporting rat tails and acid-washed jeans.

To be fair, people still sporting acid washed jeans and rat-tails tend to be pretty excitable about most things, from my experience. But, in particular, the dulcet tones of Ronnie James Dio and the absolute necessity of making certain your Trans Am is equipped with a t-top.

Yeah, I think all of those teams look like jokes in those uniforms. I honestly can't take a team seriously when they have it on. I know its all a matter of taste, but light blue to me, it's never looked good on any uniform.

It's pretty obvious with the pictures posted in this thread, they aren't going blue.

That would be great but I'm not getting my hopes up. I still think that black is the best Pens uniform.

I think they need to use some good jerseys because if they are nice jersey sales will sky rocket :p

With their popularity, the Pens could make purple and brown uniforms with a puck as the logo and it would still sell sadly....

I think I'm the only person in the world who likes the Islanders' Stadium Series uniform. The chrome logo is a little goofy but everything else was pretty spiffy.
