nhl-jerseys

actually loved the armada b and w unis and overall design but not so sure about the olympiques. their logo is too complex to work with minimal colours. it worked for the armada because their logo and unis are simple, striking and contrast well. also im not against b and w per se but you definately dont want two teams going that route. going to look like watching tv in the 50s when the two teams play each other. In Tuesday's leak we also learned that the Heritage Jersey will see action twice on the road, in Montreal and Toronto. The Vancouver Canucks Jerseys and Maple Leafs already have white throwback jerseys so I can't help but wonder if they'll wear them for those games against Ottawa. Though it's not in the press release on the Sens' website, the Ottawa Citizen reported yesterday that the Ottawa Senators Jerseys will make its game debut on Oct. 13 when the Senators host the Colorado Avalanche. That brings me to some shoddy reporting that needs to be cleared up. CTV Ottawa said yesterday that the Senators had unveiled their 20th anniversary jersey. Which they hadn't. Le Journal de Quebec also used the same image in their story, though in their defense, a translation of their article from French reads "the jersey will be unveiled," not that it had been already. And get this: The design these "news agencies" published was nothing more than a concept pulled straight from this very website more than a year ago. On March 10, 2010, I posted artwork designed by Tyler Allen that, in terms of design, is identical to what was posted by these two news outlets. Only the shoulders, name and number have been altered (right). The overall design remains completely intact. Lay one on top of the other and you'll find no differences. Granted, this design isn't far off from what was leaked earlier this week, but it is enough for us to notice. Check out the sleeves and the striping around the waistline. Plus, the numbers on the back are supposed to be white, not black. And where's the new shoulder shield?I understand CTV Ottawa wanting to give their web vistors and viewers an idea of what the Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys will look like, but reporting "Senators unveil new jersey" is flat out false. They haven't yet. We'll certainly know it when they do. I hope that clears up any confusion. I know a number of you had emailed me links and been left scratching your heads. I don't know if i'm the only one who realised this but if you look at the tease pick from back in march, you'll notice it's actually white and not "vintage" white they are using. Now it's possible they could've changed the colour scheme a bit since then, but i doubt it considering the leaked photo is pretty accurate with the tease. Personally, vintage white or not, still better then the "Sens" Jerseys. I'm equally happy with the Olympiques color change. My grand-mother used to bring me to games back when they were wearing those colors and won the memorial cup. This will bring back welcomed memories!
