Time to Bring Back the Originals

[Nighthock]

Looking back at these I think my preference for the jersey is more nostalgia than anything else. The logo looks... special? Like it's more of an artsy-fartsy rendition of a shark. It's weird. I wish they would do something with the current practice-jersey-looking jerseys, but I don't think they should go back to these. Every now and again, sure. Not full time.

It's striking and simple. Looks great and pops against teal or white. The new one is just too busy for me, but I do like it - just not as much.

A shame if they're just warmups

But those 2007 era replica shoulder yokes are tragic, thanks, I hate it

 

[sjsharks92]

I concur. At the very least they should be our alternates.

YES! The old shark logo just looks moronic. I prefer the darker teal of one of the more recent jerseys too. Still I prefer the Nolan era Sharks jersey over any of them. To me that's the best Jersey they've had so far.

I'm probably in the minority but I never liked those lol

Too much bling

The second gen jerseys are my least favorite specifically because of the grey stripes down the arms of the teal jerseys, they looked like practice jerseys

The white ones were pretty sleek though

I don't know how many practice jersey's you've seen but they don't look like that. The current ones more closely resemble practice jersey's than any of the others. Well, anyway, there's no accounting for taste.

Hmm. Hockey News ranked the original sharks jersey not only -not- moronic, but actually pretty good. And by pretty good, I mean "The #1, best hockey uniform of all NHL Teams OF ALL TIME" (no exaggeration)

Hockey News Ranks Sharks Jersey No. 1 of All-Time

So... you have to understand, when you say it looks moronic...

"Though the logo has been altered in recent years, the original shark crest was perfect. San Jose may not have popularized the use of a triangle as background, but the way the shark is springing out is fantastic. The teal blue is definitely bold, and San Jose owns that color (red, on the other hand, could make you think of Chicago, Montreal or Detroit). The secondary logo, a cutting fin on the shoulder, is also an amazing mark. This jersey could have been used for decades and no one would call it out for being dated. Simply put, it's flawless. The stripes aren't busy and, in an era where garishness took over, the Sharks kept it classy." - Hockey News, Oct 13 2015

Yeah ok buddy. Whoever wrote that for the Hockey News is a moron. Talk about discarding an opinion... Now I would agree about that jersey IF the new sharks crest didn't exist. But that new crest is one of the single greatest upgrades to a jersey ever. If a toddler was trying to draw the new crest you would likely end up with something that looks almost identical to the old crest. It looks stupid now. That old jersey with it's Boston Bruins styling is awesome though. Easily my 2nd favorite jersey. I would be fine with a return to it with the new crest.

Lol, I haven't watched that since it came out

Crazy that Hertl is the only player from that still on the team, even then new addition Brenden Dillon is gone

Smoke Eaters... maybe it's time to update the name of the team. *cough*

San Jose Smoke Eaters has a nice ring to it.
