Washington making the weagle their primary or fully returning back to the screaming eagle is a must. It's so strange watching caps vs pens games and seeing Pittsburg used different jersey over the past several years yet Washington remain the same.
Something completely brand new would be what I’d go for. I love the Weagle logo. It’s a shame that it’s only been used on a stadium series jersey. It wasn’t too bad honestly
As a Devils fan, we have been asking for the waist stripe to come back since they took it away, I don’t mind the New Jerseys (no pun intended) but I feel like the current design with the waist stripe returning would be perfect. Throw in a black alternate that inverts the colors of the home primary and we got one of the best jersey sets in hockey.
As a fellow Devils fan, I couldn't agree with you more. I also wasn't a fan of how they changed the stripe proportion thickness from 1:2:1 to 1:1:1 on the sleeves - kind of felt like pool floaties at the time they introduced the new sets 😅 I hope that gets fixed with whomever takes over the NHL jersey manufacturing.
How a better alt jersey. That black jersey with word mard Jersey in cursive on it is bad. They could of took out the circle & change color of the Nj to white with red outline & put the like the state of New Jersey on the shoulder. Whoever came up with current alt should be fired
As someone who genuinely enjoys learning the “background” type stuff about nhl and hockey (like I love watching behind the scenes vids about equipment management for hockey teams), finding your channel was such a win 😊 I love how in depth you go with history and also give legitimate opinions that you can back up. Just your visual presentation is awesome but your conveyance of the topics you’re presenting are cohesive and to the point. Extra props for doing a follow up vid and listening to our comments!!! ❤ keep up the great work
I know someone that works for Phillyexpress, the company that stitches the Flyers jerseys. They said the black alternate is returning for one more year. Also the designs for the new home/road could see the original orange the Flyers used return
As a chicago fan, I want a black alternate jersey. Rather than traditional stripes on the sleeves, put the feathers that were on Fluery's mask wrapping around the bottom half of the sleeve. I'd say you could switch to the secondary logo for the front crest, maybe stylize it a bit to match with the intricacy of the arm feathers, maybe get the same Native American designer who made Fleury's mask? Hell, I'd say it'd look slick as hell in white too
I really want to see at least one Chicago jersey using the secondary logo (yellow C with crossed tomahawks) as the primary crest, perhaps on a true reverse retro with the old black alternates as the base.
I could see the Kings going back to their early 90's look or the black and purple. I'm not a fan of the yellow. And I could see Washington going back to their 90's look too. Ovechkin had stated that he liked the look when they did the reverse retro uniforms and he did look good in the black and bronze-ish look in his rookie year.
As a sens fan, we just got a new look 3 years ago going back to the old look. I think we need to keep that longer. I would however bring a red jersey into the mix. I'd love to see the sens bring a red version of the black senagoth jersey into the mix.
I’m a Senators fan as well and I’d love to see a red jersey included in the mix as well. I’d love to see a return of the red, white and black “O” jersey they wore in the outdoor game against Montreal. Those were gorgeous!! And I was thrilled the original 92-93 jerseys made their return. Surprised it took so long.
Nah man, it was a mistake going back. They should have went back to their first alternate template with the gold but they didn’t and it needs to change ASAP imo
It has only lasted because it has become connected with the legend of Ovi. Even I as a jersey nerd have a soft spot for the jersey as a Caps fan. But yeah it needs to go, but at minimum the colours and colour balance need to stay. I think it's Weagle time.
I totally agree with you on this : Devils should bring the waist stripes back ASAP. Their jersey look too empty without those. And for the Sens, I would suggest that they use their alternate centurion logo as their main logo. It looks much better than their original logo and would suit perfectly as their main jersey crest. With the coming of the new owneship, it would be a good moment to pout that amazing logo to use!
If Nashville just added the shoulder yoke to their home jersey, they'd look SO much better. Agreed though with the Ducks, Kings, Bolts, and Sens all needing rebrands. Ducks just need to embrace the Duck Mask, the Kings going back to purple (as you stated), the Bolts re-adding black, and the Sens just modernizing all their logos.
As a Hawks fan, we need an alternate. We already have the best logo and jersey in hockey and a black alternate that utilizes the feathers colors as the stripes would be cool.
I would love to see the crossed tomahawks and C patch as the primary logo on a Hawks sweater instead of the other 3rd jerseys we've had. I'd buy one in a heartbeat here...
Sherwood has made bigger jerseys before aswell. They made the jerseys for OVO. Although that wasn’t a huge scale, they’ve atleast made quality sweaters in the past
Champion did make some NHL jerseys in the 70s for the Rockies BTW. Also, Ovi wants the Eagle back for the Caps. Cant blame him. Hottest RR both times through.
I would LOVE if this year’s reverse retro Maple Leafs jersey was just their jersey. When it was first released I was underwhelmed but from a certain perspective I think it’s because it’s just a slightly better version of the current beauties. The lines are amazing and the slight logo tweaks are 10/10!
Great set of videos. I think the kings jerseys from 2000-2011 were absolutely perfect. The logo was simple and unique. The black, silver, and purple work so well. And even the reebok edge versions are fantastic with “los angeles” written across the bottom
Great video as always, Chris! As a Caps fan, I 100% agree with you that a rebrand is needed. The current home and away sweaters are boring and our blue third, while cool initially, has lost its luster. IMO, they should take the first reverse retro and use that as home jersey, make an away in the same color scheme, and use 2022 RR as third.
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the Sabres potentially going back to the black and red goat head jerseys full time. They have been incredibly successful while wearing them this season, so fans have been calling them go go back to those full time just because of that, but even besides the on-ice play, Buffalo fans just simply love the goat head logo and the black and white color scheme. I don’t think anyone would be mad if they went back to those full time
You're right on the Lightning. Keep the logo (maybe add a black outline) and add some black and silver and you're good to go (maybe black helmet and breezers to start). As much as I like the current look, it's been over 10 years a little modification is due.
I don't have an issue with the Hurricanes original logo or the new flag logo, but I'm not a fan of the word mark logo on a jersey. Not sure what alterations I'd make to logos but I think there is merit to working in the checkers again, and maybe working the silver angle.
I absolutely love your channel. As a Leafs fan, you’re my favourite Lightning fan now lol. I would love to see you cover the lower leagues though. Especially the WHL, OHL, QMJHL, ECHL and AHL!
Projoy would be a really interesting choice. They have been the main uniform supplier for the National Lacrosse League for many years. Jerseys are of amazing quality, plus seeing all the fun specialty designs they can do. But not too sure if the league would want to go full 100% sublimation and I don't think they have anything close to the price tag the league's looking for
I wish the Panthers had a third jersey with navy blue as the primary color (kinda like the first reverse retro) bc the regular home jersey has been here for a while
as a designer i cant say how much i hate the current capitals jersey! i hope they get a proper rebrand one they actually deserve! bring the eagle back or the W i loved both of those
I agree with most of those uniform changes you suggested. For Nashville I want them to put their blue on the shoulders. Keep the gold base but adding more blue like on the shoulders and a waist stripe would make it look so much better. The Kings NEED Purple. Bring back the early 2000s full size crown and add the forum blue as the primary colour with the black and silver. Then have a gold alt with a brand new logo. I want Ottawa to have gold on their uniform like their first alternate. I wouldn’t even mind if the S logo being their primary logo just updated. Wish they went with a full rebrand instead of going backwards. Winnipeg. I love the heritage uniforms but their RR 2.0 made that logo so much better with the aviator blue. You make an aviator blue primary and make that your away, perfect set. That’s my two cents. If I had any artistic ability I would make mocks aha
As a canes fan, the Hurricanes jersey lineup this season are the best yet I believe. I like how we have something different to work with on home alt and away and have opportunities to mix them up in future. The only thing I hope for in is to maybe do a throwback jersey of the old black alt. Jersey I liked that design the most
The Hurricanes need to make the throwback their primary home. Add a matching road with a new black alt based on the one you mentioned above (but with the current black jersey logo) and they’d be perfect.
The Canes need to adapt the current alt as the primary. Love that logo on it,the 2 flags with & in the middle u see the state of North Carolina. They need to make white version of that,also they should take dark logo sholder patch & get rid of it.
I just hope whoever the manufacturer is, make authentic on-ice jerseys available again. I've been fortunate to find a few of the current ones on eBay, but would prefer a much easier way of getting them and cost controlled. It's HRR, so I don't get why they weren't available to the public like before.
Might be a hot take but I feel like Chicago might up for a rebrand as well. With all that’s happened involving that logo and how they’ve hinted at it not lasting much longer, I wouldn’t be fully surprised if they used this as an opportunity to move away from it.
Wild you had it right with Fanatics. Im shocked that was the one. I really thought Rebock or CCM where going to be the ones based on history and brand recognition. lets see how this one goes
Is it a good deal for manufactures to make the official NHL jerseys but then have to share the rest of the official NHL apparel market with Fanatics? I can see that as the reason Adidas wants out. I go to the the Dallas Stars equipment sale every summer, where they sell the Adidas team issued shirts, jackets, jerseys, and hats that are not available at the team store or website. Its a huge marketing disadvantage when a manufacture can not sell the products being worn by the players to the general public.
If this video had been made a few months ago, I would have said the Canucks should go back to the skate logo, but in their current colours. That all changed last month when they revealed their First Nations logo for this year, which was phenomenal. I think using that to merge both their native inspiration and that iconic skate would be the best move forward
The skate logo has always been trash. The fact that all their specialty logos have been better than the actual logo is proof. I know I’m in the minority but that logo sucks. I agree that IF they do go back to it they use blue and green. Better colours than red and yellow.
Agree with much of what you say here. I can say with absolute certainty I’ve never been a fan of piping on a jersey. The cases in which it works best are close to never.
Hey Chris, thanks for the ND shoutout! I'm a hugh O6 fan, especially the Blackhawks. I never understood why they didn't switch logos...put the crossed tomahawks (shoulder patch) on the front and either the hawk head or just the feathers as a shoulder patch.
Lots of UA-camrs have slick video editing, but your audio work is incredible. Of course the video is top notch but the audio is perfect. If you aren't hired by a team/network in the next couple years I will be shocked. Please go to the Ducks.. it's been getting better but throughout the 10's so many amazing highlights were seen live and never again. The Ducks need a pro in there.
I'm from Winnipeg, and I love the retros as an alt, but I'm getting sick of the trend towards going backwards with every team. If the Jets abandon our current primary look, (which is amazing, I don't think it gets the credit it deserves,) I would be very sad.
My one change I really want and hope that they do is eliminate the stupid "must have road white jersey" rule. Instead - have each team have A Primary Dark, A Primary Light, and a Third that is different from the first two. White can be the light if a team wants it ... yet for Nashville Yellow/Gold will be the Light and they can use that at home and away when the other team uses Dark at home. Nashville is my team ... Games where it's the "home yellow" vs a dark are so much better than Yellow vs White. Now, I understand Winnipeg likes their white ... and that can be their home and main if they like. Still hope for UnderArmor to figure it out.
Not gonna lie, I was almost YELLING at my screen when you showed the seven teams in need of a rebrand and didn't initially show the Capitals. As a Jackets fan, and I feel like just about every Jackets fan agrees on social media, they need to lean full-time on their cannon design. It's crazy how it has been their third jersey for about 13 years now, except for the one season Adidas took over. As far as I can tell, there has never been a 3rd jersey in league history that remained a 3rd jersey for this long. They either get promoted to their main look or disappear for a new one
Would love the Montreal Canadiens away jersey from 1944-47 (white with bar/logo across the chest) that came back up from the "V"ingate series in 2006-07, that came up again during the 2008-10 100th Anniversary Celebration or even the one that was tailored a bit for the 2016 Winter Classic come back to life again (and no... no Dark or Light blue jersey please... don't get me wrong, I have both as a novelty to my collection but I do not want that long-term any more then I would want the Barber Pole jersey to become a 3rd today lol)
Oh god haha I was working for a USHL team in the naughties with SP as our league jersey supplier. They forgot to send nameplates or something and we had the entire club staff circled around the phone trying to communicate in French because they would NOT deal with us in English and we didn't have anyone from Quebec. Just great minor league times
Whoever makes the next jerseys i hope they either bring back the NYR liberty jersey as an alt or better yet, reuse the navy and white jerseys from the early 2000s as home and away jerseys.
I will love to see Reebok again,also love to see CCM back also. If i had to pick I will go with CCM. I have a CCM retro Blues jersey & I love it. I can not believe a guy sueing Adidas cause he said the jerseys are not Authentic enough. He had problem with word authentic. The Made in Canada jerseys are authentic while ours might have fight strap & is now numbered. It is technically a premire jersey with a fight strap on them, cause the Made in Canada jerseys have more padding & elbows are diffent few other things
It’ll all come down to who has the infrastructure to take on the entire NHL and it’s fanbase when making these jerseys. You’d want a company that will make the jerseys and not be so overwhelmed that they cut corners and drop quality or hike prices because they’re not big enough to maintain etc. yeah under armour looks cool but I doubt they can suddenly just have a dedicated NHL division and make jerseys and clothing and shoes etc at the same time. I’m in the army and under armor boots are so bad in my opinion just imagine having them make thousands of jerseys and thirds etc. last thing the NHL wants to do is go with a cheap smaller company that is over confident and tries to back out half way through their contract because they can’t keep up
It looks like the on-ice jerseys will be made by Fanatics!!! welp. A couple changes i would like to see: a return to the straight hemline and the ability for people to purchase "authentic made in canada" jersey, like we used to be able to do with CCM.
NHL just annouced it'll be Fanatics... after receiving my Devils Reverse Retro 1.0 and Heritage jerseys I can not be anything else than disappointed... their jerseys are really cheap quality for the price we pay... I was hopping for CCM. Plus I heard their customer's service is awful!!!!!
Personally i do agree the caps need to get rid of the word mark logo but the weagle is not a primary logo by any means its simply an amazing secondary/shoulder patch logo. Also yes tampa needs black and silver back those 2004 era jerseys are my favorite lightning unis of all time. Also sorry but I completely disagree with you on the kings in the sense that I really enjoy the purple from 07-08 especially on the white jerseys with the purple and silver trim. Also i still think there’s too much unbroken yellow in Nashville and the canes should just revert to their cup winning era jerseys. Also i think Dallas (if the new jersey manufacturer can do the star pattern) needs to go back to the darker green and black with the star Jersey design i dont find their green to be appealing to me. Also would be nice to see the panthers rebrand. I also like the blocky leafs logo and would like to see that become the crest again. I am also deathly terrified of what these new home and away flyers jerseys could turn into because they have their best look right now and would hate too see something like what they did in the 2000’s. Anyways great vid as always and here’s to the next manufacturer not sucking!!!!
Completely agree on Jets, sooooo long overdue for them to take the navy and red their full time color scheme. But on the other hand, disagreed on the Sens. Bringing back those old school uni's full time was a great move and even their RR jerseys were pretty good as well too. I would also like to see the Sabres get the goathead uni's to be full time as well too, or at the very least when they do make it back to playoffs again it can be their home playoff jersey. I'm sure even Sabres fans can agree to that one.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Sabres fans had whiplash from all the jersey switching. From “We hate the black, bring back the blue!” to “We hate the blue, bring back the black!” 😅
Whoever supplies the sweaters for the NHL, these two items are mandatory:
1. Waist stripes are a must.
2. No vertical piping.
I feel like I should pin this comment. So true. 😅
@@icethetics Sure, go ahead.
Washington making the weagle their primary or fully returning back to the screaming eagle is a must. It's so strange watching caps vs pens games and seeing Pittsburg used different jersey over the past several years yet Washington remain the same.
Yep. First thing i thought of
The caps jerseys straight up look like practice uni's now a days, its funny af
They need to use the Blue template of their W alt and put the Weagle on it. That would be best case scenario imo
Weagle yes!
Something completely brand new would be what I’d go for. I love the Weagle logo. It’s a shame that it’s only been used on a stadium series jersey. It wasn’t too bad honestly
As a Devils fan, we have been asking for the waist stripe to come back since they took it away, I don’t mind the New Jerseys (no pun intended) but I feel like the current design with the waist stripe returning would be perfect. Throw in a black alternate that inverts the colors of the home primary and we got one of the best jersey sets in hockey.
As a fellow Devils fan, I couldn't agree with you more. I also wasn't a fan of how they changed the stripe proportion thickness from 1:2:1 to 1:1:1 on the sleeves - kind of felt like pool floaties at the time they introduced the new sets 😅 I hope that gets fixed with whomever takes over the NHL jersey manufacturing.
100% agreed
yup...Devils went from one of the best jerseys to an "off brand" version. they need to get back to their 90's look.
@@kj6446 yea their current uniforms look like the FANATICS long sleeve t shirt version of a hockey jersey if that makes any sense.
How a better alt jersey. That black jersey with word mard Jersey in cursive on it is bad. They could of took out the circle & change color of the Nj to white with red outline & put the like the state of New Jersey on the shoulder. Whoever came up with current alt should be fired
Annnd 24 hours later, we ended up with the worst scenario possible...
As someone who genuinely enjoys learning the “background” type stuff about nhl and hockey (like I love watching behind the scenes vids about equipment management for hockey teams), finding your channel was such a win 😊 I love how in depth you go with history and also give legitimate opinions that you can back up. Just your visual presentation is awesome but your conveyance of the topics you’re presenting are cohesive and to the point. Extra props for doing a follow up vid and listening to our comments!!! ❤ keep up the great work
Thanks for the kind words, jaclyn!
I actually agree with all of your rebrand ideas. One thing I would love to see is the Devils using their original striping but with red and black.
That could be interesting. We’ve seen some concept art to that effect.
Alternately, the 92-17 pattern with green!
I know someone that works for Phillyexpress, the company that stitches the Flyers jerseys. They said the black alternate is returning for one more year. Also the designs for the new home/road could see the original orange the Flyers used return
They just announced Fanatics will make NHL jerseys from 2024 onwards... I think I'm going to puke 🤢
I'm glad another Bolts fan agrees with me. We need black and silver back in the mix.
And bring back the Victory Stripes!
As a chicago fan, I want a black alternate jersey. Rather than traditional stripes on the sleeves, put the feathers that were on Fluery's mask wrapping around the bottom half of the sleeve. I'd say you could switch to the secondary logo for the front crest, maybe stylize it a bit to match with the intricacy of the arm feathers, maybe get the same Native American designer who made Fleury's mask? Hell, I'd say it'd look slick as hell in white too
Watching this literally as the new Fanatics deal was announced XD
I really want to see at least one Chicago jersey using the secondary logo (yellow C with crossed tomahawks) as the primary crest, perhaps on a true reverse retro with the old black alternates as the base.
I could see the Kings going back to their early 90's look or the black and purple. I'm not a fan of the yellow. And I could see Washington going back to their 90's look too. Ovechkin had stated that he liked the look when they did the reverse retro uniforms and he did look good in the black and bronze-ish look in his rookie year.
as a devils fan i strongly agree with putting the waist stripes back on the jersey they should've never changed it in the first place.
As a sens fan, we just got a new look 3 years ago going back to the old look. I think we need to keep that longer. I would however bring a red jersey into the mix. I'd love to see the sens bring a red version of the black senagoth jersey into the mix.
I’m a Senators fan as well and I’d love to see a red jersey included in the mix as well. I’d love to see a return of the red, white and black “O” jersey they wore in the outdoor game against Montreal. Those were gorgeous!! And I was thrilled the original 92-93 jerseys made their return. Surprised it took so long.
Nah man, it was a mistake going back. They should have went back to their first alternate template with the gold but they didn’t and it needs to change ASAP imo
They need to bring back those heritage uniforms in the mix. Those are absolutely smashing!
The jerseys the sens are wearing right now-the yashin era jerseys-are their best by far. I hope they keep them.
Totally agree. Though, they should've used the "unused" senator logo instead of the current crest. That logo is flat out perfect.
Watching this after the abysmal announcement of the Fanatics agreement. Such a shame and the NHL knows it, since they announced it at 7 am EST
Yeah what a joke. They don’t even have much for innovative technology in fabrics. Basic ass shit that won’t hold up.
It's insane to me that the Caps wordmark logo and reebok style piping has lasted this long
yes... IMO (just my humble opinion) they have the worst jersey of the league
It has only lasted because it has become connected with the legend of Ovi. Even I as a jersey nerd have a soft spot for the jersey as a Caps fan. But yeah it needs to go, but at minimum the colours and colour balance need to stay. I think it's Weagle time.

Ducks just need to embrace the Duck Mask, the Kings going back to purple (as you stated), the Bolts re-adding black, and the Sens just modernizing all their logos.
It was really fun speculating while it lasted...I need to buy about 6 more adidas jerseys while I still can......
This video being on my algo has mentally prepared me for the next 10 years of not buying any new hockey jerseys.
Could see Minnesota going North Stars colors too. The RR 1 and 2 were massively popular.
Love to see that as an alternate uniform option... and I think we will next season!
As a Hawks fan, we need an alternate. We already have the best logo and jersey in hockey and a black alternate that utilizes the feathers colors as the stripes would be cool.
I would love to see the crossed tomahawks and C patch as the primary logo on a Hawks sweater instead of the other 3rd jerseys we've had. I'd buy one in a heartbeat here...

continually blown away by the production quality in these videos. great work!!
Much appreciated!
As an Oilers fan, I know we’ll be keeping the Royal blue & orange. However I would love to see them bring back the navy & copper for a 3rd jersey
As a Devils fan I would really love to see the waist stripe back.
these videos are fantastic. Such high quality, keep them coming!
Thank you, Chris!
Great set of videos. I think the kings jerseys from 2000-2011 were absolutely perfect. The logo was simple and unique. The black, silver, and purple work so well. And even the reebok edge versions are fantastic with “los angeles” written across the bottom
Would love for VGK to keep this years RR as a permanent third. Love the look and uniqueness to it.
Would you want to see them go back to grey as their primary color? I’m not a fan of the gold primary honestlt
The first Reverse Retro was a lot better.
@@MisterMike95 Need to completely get rid of gold even as a accent color. Grey and black and shorten the name to knights,
Great video as always, Chris! As a Caps fan, I 100% agree with you that a rebrand is needed. The current home and away sweaters are boring and our blue third, while cool initially, has lost its luster. IMO, they should take the first reverse retro and use that as home jersey, make an away in the same color scheme, and use 2022 RR as third.
Anaheim, Anaheim, Anaheim. The change is a must.
Unfortunately, Fanatics became the official jersey supplier
Seriously idk why but I love this channel. Thanks Chris, for all your hard work!!!

I swear the NHL made todays Fanatics announcement times just to mess with you.
I'm convinced of it. 😅
Doing a part 2 for the fans! Customer service on a new level! Love the video. Curious to see what brand it will be.
Thanks Toby!
Fanatics just got a 10 year deal with the NHL
You're right on the Lightning. Keep the logo (maybe add a black outline) and add some black and silver and you're good to go (maybe black helmet and breezers to start). As much as I like the current look, it's been over 10 years a little modification is due.
Honey wake up, new icethetics vid dropped
Aaand now I'm wanting for a 3rd/result video since Fanatics got the deal.
As Panthers fan, I want the Leaping Cat back as the primary logo
It’s 7am Tuesday morning and we got the worst news possible….fanatics jerseys….
Welp looks like Uni Watch is reporting that NHL is going with Fanatics...
I don't have an issue with the Hurricanes original logo or the new flag logo, but I'm not a fan of the word mark logo on a jersey. Not sure what alterations I'd make to logos but I think there is merit to working in the checkers again, and maybe working the silver angle.
Completely agree with the takes on the Canes, the Caps and especially the Jets. Those two heritage jerseys are simply perfect.
How timely your video is with the Fanatics announcement today
Another great video Chris! Love and agree with the refresh and rebrand ideas!
Thanks Johnny!
I absolutely love your channel. As a Leafs fan, you’re my favourite Lightning fan now lol. I would love to see you cover the lower leagues though. Especially the WHL, OHL, QMJHL, ECHL and AHL!
Thanks! So much to cover. So little free time. 😅

I wish the Panthers had a third jersey with navy blue as the primary color (kinda like the first reverse retro) bc the regular home jersey has been here for a while
As a Canes fan, they confound me as well. It's okay Chris.
hot take but I think the Jackets home jersey is amazing. I think the red and white stripes pop so well on the navy blue
as a designer i cant say how much i hate the current capitals jersey! i hope they get a proper rebrand one they actually deserve! bring the eagle back or the W i loved both of those
I agree with most of those uniform changes you suggested.
For Nashville I want them to put their blue on the shoulders. Keep the gold base but adding more blue like on the shoulders and a waist stripe would make it look so much better.
The Kings NEED Purple. Bring back the early 2000s full size crown and add the forum blue as the primary colour with the black and silver. Then have a gold alt with a brand new logo.
I want Ottawa to have gold on their uniform like their first alternate. I wouldn’t even mind if the S logo being their primary logo just updated. Wish they went with a full rebrand instead of going backwards.
Winnipeg. I love the heritage uniforms but their RR 2.0 made that logo so much better with the aviator blue. You make an aviator blue primary and make that your away, perfect set.
That’s my two cents. If I had any artistic ability I would make mocks aha
Thanks Chris! Great follow up video
Thanks, Aaron!
As a canes fan, the Hurricanes jersey lineup this season are the best yet I believe. I like how we have something different to work with on home alt and away and have opportunities to mix them up in future. The only thing I hope for in is to maybe do a throwback jersey of the old black alt. Jersey I liked that design the most
The Hurricanes need to make the throwback their primary home. Add a matching road with a new black alt based on the one you mentioned above (but with the current black jersey logo) and they’d be perfect.
The Canes need to adapt the current alt as the primary. Love that logo on it,the 2 flags with & in the middle u see the state of North Carolina. They need to make white version of that,also they should take dark logo sholder patch & get rid of it.
@@jeremyapache So just go back to their original jersey lineup?😂
The red helmets are the worst thing ive ever laid eyes on. They need to keep that 06 look forever
I just hope whoever the manufacturer is, make authentic on-ice jerseys available again. I've been fortunate to find a few of the current ones on eBay, but would prefer a much easier way of getting them and cost controlled. It's HRR, so I don't get why they weren't available to the public like before.
Might be a hot take but I feel like Chicago might up for a rebrand as well. With all that’s happened involving that logo and how they’ve hinted at it not lasting much longer, I wouldn’t be fully surprised if they used this as an opportunity to move away from it.
Wild you had it right with Fanatics. Im shocked that was the one. I really thought Rebock or CCM where going to be the ones based on history and brand recognition. lets see how this one goes
Is it a good deal for manufactures to make the official NHL jerseys but then have to share the rest of the official NHL apparel market with Fanatics? I can see that as the reason Adidas wants out. I go to the the Dallas Stars equipment sale every summer, where they sell the Adidas team issued shirts, jackets, jerseys, and hats that are not available at the team store or website. Its a huge marketing disadvantage when a manufacture can not sell the products being worn by the players to the general public.
Avs need to get yet closer to 90’s/00’s look, especially bring back the uniquely-shaped numbers. Same goes for the Wild and those fur-shaped? numbers.
If this video had been made a few months ago, I would have said the Canucks should go back to the skate logo, but in their current colours. That all changed last month when they revealed their First Nations logo for this year, which was phenomenal. I think using that to merge both their native inspiration and that iconic skate would be the best move forward
The skate logo has always been trash. The fact that all their specialty logos have been better than the actual logo is proof. I know I’m in the minority but that logo sucks. I agree that IF they do go back to it they use blue and green. Better colours than red and yellow.
For me the best logo is Johny Canuck. And the most suitable for team named ‚Canucks’. Reverse retro was perfect.
@@fridtjof.nansen I love my Canucks RR my fav of any jersey I own or will own!
Agree with much of what you say here. I can say with absolute certainty I’ve never been a fan of piping on a jersey. The cases in which it works best are close to never.
Icethetics/IceWarehouse colab when? I saw that use of their site in the Sherwood segment :P
Hey Chris, thanks for the ND shoutout!
I'm a hugh O6 fan, especially the Blackhawks. I never understood why they didn't switch logos...put the crossed tomahawks (shoulder patch) on the front and either the hawk head or just the feathers as a shoulder patch.
the current
the current sens jerseys are sick
Yeah honestly by far his worst take on this channel
They’re near perfect
Lots of UA-camrs have slick video editing, but your audio work is incredible. Of course the video is top notch but the audio is perfect. If you aren't hired by a team/network in the next couple years I will be shocked.
Please go to the Ducks.. it's been getting better but throughout the 10's so many amazing highlights were seen live and never again. The Ducks need a pro in there.
dam didn't even notice the waist stripes for the devils, that would be a great move.
I'm from Winnipeg, and I love the retros as an alt, but I'm getting sick of the trend towards going backwards with every team. If the Jets abandon our current primary look, (which is amazing, I don't think it gets the credit it deserves,) I would be very sad.
I like the Canes' stick logo, hope they redraw it into something a little more flexible
My one change I really want and hope that they do is eliminate the stupid "must have road white jersey" rule.
Instead - have each team have A Primary Dark, A Primary Light, and a Third that is different from the first two.
White can be the light if a team wants it ... yet for Nashville Yellow/Gold will be the Light and they can use that at home and away when the other team uses Dark at home.
Nashville is my team ... Games where it's the "home yellow" vs a dark are so much better than Yellow vs White.
Now, I understand Winnipeg likes their white ... and that can be their home and main if they like.
Still hope for UnderArmor to figure it out.
Love that idea, Jonathan!
Not gonna lie, I was almost YELLING at my screen when you showed the seven teams in need of a rebrand and didn't initially show the Capitals.
As a Jackets fan, and I feel like just about every Jackets fan agrees on social media, they need to lean full-time on their cannon design. It's crazy how it has been their third jersey for about 13 years now, except for the one season Adidas took over. As far as I can tell, there has never been a 3rd jersey in league history that remained a 3rd jersey for this long. They either get promoted to their main look or disappear for a new one
Would love the Montreal Canadiens away jersey from 1944-47 (white with bar/logo across the chest) that came back up from the "V"ingate series in 2006-07, that came up again during the 2008-10 100th Anniversary Celebration or even the one that was tailored a bit for the 2016 Winter Classic come back to life again (and no... no Dark or Light blue jersey please... don't get me wrong, I have both as a novelty to my collection but I do not want that long-term any more then I would want the Barber Pole jersey to become a 3rd today lol)
I'd like to see the globe come back.
Reebok has recently returned to the jersey game. They are they jersey supplier for Panama's soccer team.
Didn’t even realize that! Very interesting development there.
Oh god haha I was working for a USHL team in the naughties with SP as our league jersey supplier. They forgot to send nameplates or something and we had the entire club staff circled around the phone trying to communicate in French because they would NOT deal with us in English and we didn't have anyone from Quebec. Just great minor league times
THANK YOU! Finally some more support for the Jets to move to their "old" logo. Give me those full RED jerseys too as a 3rd. Those things are Sick!
8:35 as a ducks fan BRING THE OLD LOGO BACK
Fanatics got the license 😢
Projoy also does the game jerseys for the NLL, but they’re all sublimated so not exactly something many people would want to even see in the NHL.
Whoever makes the next jerseys i hope they either bring back the NYR liberty jersey as an alt or better yet, reuse the navy and white jerseys from the early 2000s as home and away jerseys.
I know it's a long shot but I do dig SP hockey jerseys. They are pretty sick!
Who’s here after it was announced that Fanatics would be making the jerseys? 😢😢
I will love to see Reebok again,also love to see CCM back also. If i had to pick I will go with CCM. I have a CCM retro Blues jersey & I love it. I can not believe a guy sueing Adidas cause he said the jerseys are not Authentic enough. He had problem with word authentic. The Made in Canada jerseys are authentic while ours might have fight strap & is now numbered. It is technically a premire jersey with a fight strap on them, cause the Made in Canada jerseys have more padding & elbows are diffent few other things
Those early days Wild jersey numbers so distinct and I wish they would bring them back
Those were great!
It’ll all come down to who has the infrastructure to take on the entire NHL and it’s fanbase when making these jerseys. You’d want a company that will make the jerseys and not be so overwhelmed that they cut corners and drop quality or hike prices because they’re not big enough to maintain etc. yeah under armour looks cool but I doubt they can suddenly just have a dedicated NHL division and make jerseys and clothing and shoes etc at the same time. I’m in the army and under armor boots are so bad in my opinion just imagine having them make thousands of jerseys and thirds etc. last thing the NHL wants to do is go with a cheap smaller company that is over confident and tries to back out half way through their contract because they can’t keep up
It looks like the on-ice jerseys will be made by Fanatics!!! welp. A couple changes i would like to see: a return to the straight hemline and the ability for people to purchase "authentic made in canada" jersey, like we used to be able to do with CCM.
The Sens 2-D look is phenomenal. They need to stick with it. Agree with everything else.
Not sure ‘phenomenal’ is the word I’d use, but I do agree 2D is better than 3D in their case.
Also love the Sens current set. Their white jersey just might be my favorite road look in hockey.
I love how I watch this yesterday thinking we won't hear anything for like a year, and then today I wake up and it's fanatics. Fuck.
I was expecting to wait a year or so too.
NHL just annouced it'll be Fanatics... after receiving my Devils Reverse Retro 1.0 and Heritage jerseys I can not be anything else than disappointed... their jerseys are really cheap quality for the price we pay... I was hopping for CCM. Plus I heard their customer's service is awful!!!!!
I really like the current sens jersey. clean and sharp, although could use more gold
Fanatics just signed a ten year deal with the nhl
Well, it looks like Fanatics wanted to squash this video. 😕 Love the channel!
Another fantastic video! I hope the next supplier changes the collar design. Something more like the Reebok sweaters or something more traditional.
Reebok collars were terrible. I can get on board with the sweater collars. Just leave the stupid ties off.
I'm glad you left the Blackhawks alone. Best logo and jersey scheme in sports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Love to see CCM get the NHL contract back!
Personally i do agree the caps need to get rid of the word mark logo but the weagle is not a primary logo by any means its simply an amazing secondary/shoulder patch logo. Also yes tampa needs black and silver back those 2004 era jerseys are my favorite lightning unis of all time. Also sorry but I completely disagree with you on the kings in the sense that I really enjoy the purple from 07-08 especially on the white jerseys with the purple and silver trim. Also i still think there’s too much unbroken yellow in Nashville and the canes should just revert to their cup winning era jerseys. Also i think Dallas (if the new jersey manufacturer can do the star pattern) needs to go back to the darker green and black with the star Jersey design i dont find their green to be appealing to me. Also would be nice to see the panthers rebrand. I also like the blocky leafs logo and would like to see that become the crest again. I am also deathly terrified of what these new home and away flyers jerseys could turn into because they have their best look right now and would hate too see something like what they did in the 2000’s. Anyways great vid as always and here’s to the next manufacturer not sucking!!!!
I really hope my Sens keep the 2D look (mostly due to nostalgia, I admit)
Completely agree on Jets, sooooo long overdue for them to take the navy and red their full time color scheme. But on the other hand, disagreed on the Sens. Bringing back those old school uni's full time was a great move and even their RR jerseys were pretty good as well too.
I would also like to see the Sabres get the goathead uni's to be full time as well too, or at the very least when they do make it back to playoffs again it can be their home playoff jersey. I'm sure even Sabres fans can agree to that one.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Sabres fans had whiplash from all the jersey switching. From “We hate the black, bring back the blue!” to “We hate the blue, bring back the black!” 😅
