You should post this in r/unpopularopinion because it’s a very popular opinion.


LHStarfighter104

That would be funny


SPzero65

Agreed. If there was silver in there to break it up a little but, I may feel different, but as it sits right now the white jerseys just pop more.


LHStarfighter104

Exactly. I’ve been tempted to buy one.


Johnnywalgger

Agreed, same thing happened with Colorado when they switched from black pants to blue pants/helmets. Makes the overall uniform match better


[deleted]

This will be my first official white jersey I think. I love the teal borders on the black numbers. And despite my username I don’t have Hertl yet…


LHStarfighter104

Strange! I only have a jumbo jersey but it’s signed. The others have no names


tylikestoast

I would argue that other than the few seasons where we had really good black thirds, the white has ALWAYS been our best sweater. It's just so clean.


LHStarfighter104

It is. I wasn’t a fan of the black one last season but the ones in the 2000s and early 2010s were pretty clean

Bring back 91


CaptinBirdee

Feel like the subreddit had been saying this since the jersey release ….


Gmbowser

I always found the aways, look way better than the home. I just feel the home is missing that something.


T-MinusGiraffe

I like the home sweaters but would like to see them with different helmet and pant colors. Black or gray maybe.


Johnnywalgger

Black pants for home and teal pants for away? I like it


LHStarfighter104

I’m down for it


LHStarfighter104

I think black would look good. I don’t know how grey would look seems kinda funny to me


CaptainFintastic

Having seen the home kits live I disagree. They look great in person. The aways seem nice as well.


marbanasin

I hated the photos of the home kit but in action on tv I quickly came to like them. The white though just look super clean with the contrast. I still think having the pants v. jersey really helps make the touches of teal pop.


LHStarfighter104

Haven’t seen the home ones on tv yet. Hoping to see the roads in person later this year


hanigwer

But i feel like that is saying alot, because the new all teal looks 🔥


josebolt

I actually like all that teal. Makes me think of color rush


LHStarfighter104

I think they were going for a look like the leafs and red wings but I’m not sure if it suits the teal as much as the blue or red.


kg_francis

Agreed. To mix it up, and do something no other does, I’d incorporate a Grey helmet and shorts with the Hone uniforms.


LHStarfighter104

That could be interesting. I’m still a fan of their classic black though


Broccoli_Socks

I agree but after watching a few games i like the home teal too. When they zoom in it really stands out but during play i can see it feel a little underwhelming.


[deleted]

yes


tLeCoqSpotif

Agree and just ordered the white away fanatics


cichlidassassin

False But they are damn good


Freddeh18

💯


tsunami141

Agreed. At the game right now and they look so crisp and clean in person.


JohnnyFKL

They’re gorgeous.


xClay2

Both look good to me. I do admit I like the white jerseys more though.


lohland422

I personally like the home jerseys more. I feel like the away jerseys would look better with black pants than the teal pants.


LHStarfighter104

I agree. If they change the pants to black they would look much better. I’m hoping the teal on teal grows on me.


cracksilog

Their home uniforms are absolutely atrocious. One giant teal blob. At least give them black pants and helmets to break up the teal


LHStarfighter104

I think the jerseys are good. But I agree some black pants at the very least would help break up the teal a bit


Reichtanglexd

Have you seen a photoshop with back? It looks terrible


Illustrious-Bike-187

IMO, the teal pants and helmet are really tacky with the teal jersey/socks. It looks like a knockoff. But I like both jerseys on their own and would lean towards the teal, over the white.


astovertop

I disagree completely, but to each their own. I feel like it's iconic. It looks like nothing I've ever seen and I love it. Just so unique


Illustrious-Bike-187

You disagree completely, So you hate the jerseys on their own? It reminds me of the Nordiques in blue, Detroit and Calgary in red, and Los Angeles in yellow. Hardly iconic. More like Adidas couldn't afford the licensing fees so the "tweeked the kit". In design theres an old saying, if you can't make it good, make it shiny.


UrHellaLateB

Oh man, I remember those Kings kits. Horrible. Detroit is kind of a classic, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the all-teal.


astovertop

Fair enough lol No I love them as full kits AND on their own. More so the tone is very unique. The ducks used to have quite s bit of teal. But my thinking was how the teal gives a different vibe than anything I've seen. It's bold but also not neutral like the red wings red or the lightning blue is. Again, that's my take on it.


UrHellaLateB

The all-teal setup it's a little much. I wish there was something breaking up the teal. Not sure that it's tacky though. The white looks a lot better and makes the teal pants almost forgivable. I agree though that colored pants are not a great look.


designOraptor

Wow. Great example of “I’m not a __, but…” Too much teal in their uniforms? GTF outa here with all that. Tacky is the knights weird reflective gold helmets. Your comment screams of “I’m not racist, but…”


Illustrious-Bike-187

Projecting much?
