But it's born out of a failed franchise with an amazing logo. Same with the Hurricanes. The problem for the Wings is they run a two color scheme and logo that's rarely been effed with. (which is also what makes their jerseys amazing) Hard to go retro with this. Only the Leafs face the same challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, which is why they should have dropped the winged wheel on this one and done something out of the old Cougars jerseys. 1 kipwinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted November 16, 2020 Yeah, it's not great. I wasn't a fan of the '17 Centennial Classic jerseys though until I seen them in person. I bought one of those, and it's one of my favorite jerseys... These are pretty f***ing blah though. Zero creativity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. The Cougars approach would have been inspired thinking. Who actually decides? The league or the team/ownership? 4 minutes ago, krsmith17 said: Looking at that silver and the number 20.

Heck, if they wanted to get wild and mix up the retro look they could've added a dark purple(the octopus) as an accent color. Not sure how much I would have liked that but it atleast be fun. This is not fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To revert back to my boring responses of old, every team should just wear what they wore in 1993. 1 chaps80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

13dangledangle 968 Report post Posted November 22, 2020 Yeah this was a horrible attempt. I still loved the 2016 stadium jerseys, they had a very classy look with the white gloves. They could easily work the wing wheel into the top of the D a little better too to increase that look as well. This jersey like everyone has said is nothing more then their practice jersey, very strange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
