their new one, their old one... and virtually EVERY other logo is better than the Orca. I voted for SJ even though I don't like their new logo either.

Is anyone else fed up with every team in the league going with the vertical stripes? I REALLY hope our jerseys stays horizontal. It looks much better. Stripes down the side piss me off lol

i am confident none of the jerseys in this thread are the real deal.

All you've done is dismiss EVERY idea in this thread, but I don't recall you ever saying what the jersey will look like. You were so quick to attack what i said about the jersey. The mock up i put up is not exactly what i think it will look like. I can't use photoshop to save my life, so I just tweaked an already existing mock up.

What i know is
-vintage colors YES THAT INCLUDES GREEN on UNIFORMS
-new two-toned orca logo
-Arc'd lettering over logo (not sure what size)
-horizontal striping on BOTTOM of sweater gone.

what don't you agree with there? if if you don't, why don't you agree, and what do you think??? by just saying no no no no no, that does not make you credible, it makes you a jackass

just to clarify, aht i meant my new two-tones orca logo is the one we've seen on the hats.

and when i asked him about the horizontal stripes his reply was "ya, they've done away with the horizontal stripes on the bottom"

I'm not claiming that I know for a fact what they look like, but some people in this thread, all they do is sit on their high horse and say "nope nope nope" and don't suggest anything.

I don't think that's true.

It isn't
if I recall correctly I remember reading an interview with Mr. B (owner of the NHL) saying they would remain the same

[cantbeatcloutch]

^^^

Fair enough.

But come Weds, you'll see a jersey with horizontal striping along the bottom, mark my words.

honestly....I hope you're right. I really like the horizontal striping on the bottom. do any of the new uniforms that have been released have horizontal striping?

Yep. Boston, New York, Detroit. Now, there have been rumours that Rbk was only giving Original Six teams permission to use horizontal stripes, however, that leaked picture of San Jose's jersey clearly show they've incorporated them as well and I know for fact the Canucks will have them.

I think the horizontal striping is more a question of how many teams stuck to their guns and went with their own designs instead of just toying with the Rbk template... and by that token, how many teams went for a REAL hockey design instead of something that they thought looked "kewl".

And good on them.

Can't say. But I'm willing to stake MY reputation on it, such as it is

[Bieksallent03]

dark jerseys give a psychological impression of dominance over light jerseys. i don't care if some light jerseys look better than their counterparts, that's fact. white is what you have with all colour REMOVED. black is what you have when all colour is PRESENT. light jerseys should, obviously, should reflect this impression because our team has been removed from its home. dark jerseys should be using the dominating impression we get from dark colours (black meaning everything is PRESENT) to show that we are symbolically present in our home stadium. whether you buy that sort of thing or not doesn't matter, and if that's not basically reason enough, there are plenty of other reasons to have dark as home jerseys. 99% of your jersey being white does not overly show your team colours or stand you out particularly in a crowd. even if your dark jersey isnt black, the dark jerseys display team colours much more effectively, unless im much mistaken that one of the nhl teams has white as it's primary colour? but that would be pretty boring i guess. and if you don't think coloured jerseys stand out better against white or lighter jerseys, then you must be blind. PWNED. home jerseys should be dark. discussion over.

Great explanation.

Kinda like how on Canada Day, what colour does everyone wear? Not white, RED.

I do associate white home jerseys with the kind of "white hat, black hat" heroes VS villains mentality, which I always thought was the point, but I dig colour at home now, that's for sure.

[The Hornet]

I agree with Lucky #13 100%

Dark should definitely be worn at home.

[Two Tense]

color at home too represent a some what home town advantage.

every road team sports white.

Never could understand in the past why we had White at home, like everyone else.

With color, yer teams stands out and teh road team is always the bad guys in white

rather then having a rainbow of colors parade through yer arena.
