WordsOfWisdom Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Open memo to Calgary Flames organization: Switch back to these. The jerseys can be modernized and "cleaned up" to bring them in line with 2015 jerseys, but the fashion police are calling and the black "C" logo is the worst looking logo in the NHL. The Calgary Flames are NOT the New Jersey Devils or Team Canada! Stop wearing black and red because it looks absolutely disgusting on a team whose colors have always been red and yellow. (You know, the color of an actual FLAME.) Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The worst jersey in the NHL?... put down the pipe WOW. You honestly think those jerseys look worse than NASHVILLE's puke/mustard coloured jerseys? I also don't like these Capitals jerseys... The amount of stars/placement of the stars is really amateurish imo. And the matching stars going down their pants are terrible too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of stars/placement of the stars is really amateurish imo. And the matching stars going down their pants are terrible too. It's not that the color scheme is the worst in the NHL, it's that the color scheme is the most inappropriate for the Calgary Flames. I think Nashville's uniforms look awesome because they are being true to their team's colors. They are also unique. I like the Capitals uniforms too. Terrific color contrast and bright, vibrant colors. By having black and red, the Flames have less color. They look like a flame about to be extinguished. They should have bright colors. Detroit red and Sabres yellow "gold" is the Flames colors. My two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I thought the addition of the blue Alberta flag patch on the arm was kinda cool, but yeah...the black is not working, they need to go back to the plain yellow and red, the way it was meant to be.

ScottM Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I agree that the Flames should go back to the old jerseys. I tend to prefer the older jerseys of a lot of teams. Everyone should go retro. Except the Canucks. The Canucks should never go back to those hideous jerseys in their past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podein25 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah, I figured you were talking about the yellow pajamas they used to wear. I do like the hockey stick better than the C/Orca logo.The hockey stick is simple. And hockey related. The Orca, not so much.If I was the owner of a new franchise, I'd go with ultra simple: a guy with a club. On skates. Or maybe a sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up with the Canucks wearing these, and I always thought these jerseys were the best: The logo is dated and would need to be reworked, but I have no doubt the Canucks will return to the black, red, and gold (yellow) within the next few years.

jammer2 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Canucks with the nice simple hockey stick and classic green and blue is a very nice uniform. Simple, and yeah, I consider that hockey stick iconic at this point.....that Orca is blasphemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WordsOfWisdom Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 NHL 93 might have been the last version I was any good at! The goalie bought the deke on a breakaway every time.... I could deke them out forehand or backhand. Backhand was a bit trickier, but still very doable. Or the "pass through the legs" was nice too lol. Looking at the unis, they messed up on New Jersey, Ottawa, and St. Louis. (This was on the consoles, not the PC version. The PC version was correct.)
