Agreed 100%, Andre. Ottawa should return to black/white primary NHL Jerseys with a red barberpole "O' vintage. I don't think there's any argument there. However, I was at the home opener vs Buffalo the other night and the Scotiabank Place media gurus are insisting that fans "Be Red" ...whatever that means. Personally, the Sens should go back to their 1997-98 season templates (check it at nhluniforms.com) but with the updates logos and instead of the winged "S" replace that with the vintage "O" on the shoulder. I would buy that stat! However, the NHL has 30 teams today. The only colours worn as a primary back in the day were mostly red and dark royal blue, with the Bruins being the one exception with their black and gold. This isn't baseball where every team either uses navy, royal blue, red, or black. The uniforms of teams of the First Expansion of '67 and beyond designed their uniforms after the Original Six, but with the use of their own colours. It's called "variety" and "uniqueness". That doesn't mean that teams should come out with pink with brown or light green with red-yuck. However, seeing LA in purple and yellow, Philly in orange and black, or Edmonton in royal blue and orange adds more flavour to the great game of hockey. The Vancouver Canucks Team Jerseysand L.A. clubs got them down just right-- Even working within the confines of the EdgeMLB Jerseys! WHY THEN can't my Islanders get it right?!? Yes, they brought back the overall design and original colors of the classic uniforms. But the stripes are disproportionate (WAY too wide), and in the case of the socks, don't even match the pattern. I'm thrilled to get rid of the "Wholesale Jerseys" of the last few years, but why couldn't we get this right?
