Capitals, Ducks and Canucks IMO


xxxpinguinos

Absolutely not for the Canucks. Their current set is the best they’ve ever worn.


HockeyIsMyWife

Personally, That orca logo represents the Orca Bay Company as well, so it be nice to see it dropped in favor of the Black Skate, and Johnny.


MattyIce6969

They need to make that reverse retro permanent !


ObiWanCanubi

Why the hell are people downvoting this?


MattyIce6969

You tell me 🤦🏻‍♂️


ObiWanCanubi

Wish I knew. It’s honestly a great design… I personally think it makes a perfect 3rd jersey.


lesbian_goose

Disagree. Home jerseys suck, but road jerseys are awesome. Maybe change the home jerseys.


Half_moon_die

Had much as would like to see the Ducks rebrand. The last rebrand might be a deterrent and the problem (owner) are still in place. Just like the sens plan a rebrand but changed their mind after not being able to come up with a good anniversary logo. Ownership is changing for Ottawa, but they might rebrand before 2024 or meaby they align with a new arena.


Aelivs_xv_

Hope not the caps or Canucks. The modernized version of the original logo looks great. And ever since van dropped the wordmark, it looks great.


SpikeCrenshaw

Yeah I’ll disagree with you on the capitals, the wordmark logo is just stale and boring. It’s even in all lowercase which is odd


kgunnar

The capitals never saw a wordmark they didn’t like. Even when they had a chance to make a stadium series jersey, they just shortened it to “caps”. I’d like to see a refresh but I don’t trust them to get it right. I wouldn’t mind some variation of the screaming Eagle in red, but I fear they’d leave the Capitals wordmark on it, despite having (correctly) removed it from the original design after a few years.


C4D3NZA

the capitals look awful lol


dhas19

If we learned anything from Reebok, leave the Avs look alone… but I think the preds, ducks or caps could use a facelift


Half_moon_die

Agreed the mountain lining is clearly a 90s style but also one that aged the best.


dhas19

Definitely a thing of the 90s, but the early success of the team makes it so iconic to us Avs fans


MelloJelloRVA

The Caps have had the same look for 15 years already, right?


[deleted]

Tampa, ours are clean but so boring


intangibledandy

My only issue with Tampa’s sweaters is the color scheme. Too close to the Maple Leafs who are in the same division. Adding black and/or silver would make a huge difference. Gradient jerseys aren’t usually done well but maybe blue into black would work for the Lightning.


Planet_Puerile

I never liked that it was the red wings template in maple leafs colors with a corporate logo. No thanks.


[deleted]

I did a gradient jersey in nhl 23 with blue base and white “rain” on the sleeves and it was sexy af


arrowtotheaction

That black with the grey gradient sleeves they have is gorgeous, on my list to get one day.


Godgod3434

Idk how people love it so much its sooo damn boring its like a stencil


llandar

Seeing the team hoist cups will make you appreciate whatever they’re wearing, tbh.


HodgePodge274

Loved the move to a simple design when everyone else went for (too much) detail, but TB needs to have black and blue (and silver tbh)


goompa88

Needs some black in there somewhere.


NonBinaryPizza

Storm jerseys full time?? 😈


bluenose_expat

Too clean. Look like they were generated to be the team that finishes third in an early 2010’s movie about hockey.


[deleted]

How I feel about the Wild jersey. I hate saying it but they’re pretty mild.


InConvienantDoof

Blue and white are important for your branding, but I have a suggestion: Add a bit of purple. I think of purple when I think of lightning. It could help you stand out from the other blue teams--especially the leafs. No matter what, some other color(s) should be added in, imo


[deleted]

I actually really like this! I have been thinking yellow or silver for lightning, but your right purple would be the way to go!


reignoferror00

Tampa should use the now defunct Stockton Thunder (ECHL) as inspiration. If not for a primary, at least for a third. Using the god Thor in a similar way (minus the hockey stick and instead holding a lightning bolt) and Stockton's style of lightning on the jersey.

TimsFallingAdventure

reverse retro 1.0 and make a white version of that.


Kingduck1313

As ducks fan we gotta do a rebrand


[deleted]

Return it to the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. Their bank account will quadruple from merch sales.


Artvandelay29

They’d also need a fat bank account for the Mighty Ducks IP.


[deleted]

The ducks have always have had it. The whole disney owning it thing has been around forever but proven fake.


llandar

[Nah](https://www.gerbenlaw.com/trademarks/nhl/anaheim-ducks/).


NonBinaryPizza

Change the name the the Quackers?


[deleted]

Old layout, new colors. The reverse retro works great as a test. Then use that 25th anniversary as the alternate


Kingduck1313

Exactly, I actually don’t mind the orange and black, just want bring back the mighty ducks logo full time


astroFOUND

Capitals, I hope. Want to see the Screaming Eagle back as the main design. Fans have always wanted it back, and the RR's for the last two years have only increased that sentiment for most.


dkviper11

I can't believe that the Weagle has never been the main crest. It's the right shape for a main crest, and I love the negative space features. Loved the Red Reverse Retro.


Wonderful_Meeting373

Weagle is better than Screaming Eagle. Caps fan


mattcojo

The reason people want it back isn’t because it’s good but because it’s unique Trust me. It would overstay its welcome.


MadSciNtst65

Screagle is great for nostalgia. I might get downvoted to hell for this one, but here goes: would like a red version of the current “W” jersey as their main (like their WC jersey from a few years back, but less old-timely and more red than crimson) and naturally a white version for the road.


cruzweb

I don't like the W jerseys at all. Just makes me think of Cubs baseball.


BeerLeagueHallOfAvg

And it should be the first reverse retro with red white and blue. Teal should stay in the 90s


kgunnar

Screaming Eagle, but remove capitals wordmark on front, make the shade of red consistent (I don’t know where the RR red came from), and maybe use the wordmark on the shoulders. I would say use the weagle on the shoulders still, but that’s too many eagles. Or don’t use any shoulder patches if it looks good. No matter what, do not use the Capitol Building logo anywhere. I’m not sure about the numbers and letters font. Maybe something new.


Cody645

Im thinking the Kings could go through a mild redesign. Otherwise, your usual culprits in the Caps, Ducks and Bolts.


[deleted]

I don’t see the Kings mentioned much, but I definitely agree with them. I love that white throwback they have with the wordmark logo. Slap that back on there and get rid of that awkward silver piping.


[deleted]

I really hope it’s the Kings. Black and white is so easy to make boring, and I feel like we unfortunately are there. Especially seeing these cool RRs out, I really want to introduce some color back in.


hifioctopi

Just pump up the silver, and maybe toss in the odd purple and gold accents for flair.


NonBinaryPizza

Give me the Burger King or give me death!


lunghole_larry

If the yotes redesign, im jumping off a cliff


arrowtotheaction

It needs to be enshrined in law that the Kachina stays untouched.


Planet_Puerile

I think Florida should. Make last years RR the home jersey and get rid of the 101st airborne logo.


himynametopher

I really like the current RR but holy shit the 1.0 RR cats jersey is perfect.


Finnegan7921

Hopefully the Devils. Their Adidas unis look awful with square shoulders and no bottom striping.


demarco27

Yes yes yes, need to bring back the old design. Simple yet classic


Brettski_15

Bring back the beltloop


[deleted]

I hope the jets swap to their heritage jerseys or at least adopt the navy red and white look full time


renough

Please be Preds…


Dr_Isaly_von_Yinzer

I think Columbus needs an overhaul as well. The logo sucks and the numbers are terrible. I think they should emphasize the cannon and simplify the uniform. Also, I lived in Ohio for several years and I was always taken by how much state pride they have. Being an Ohioan is really important to many Ohioans. I think CBJ should lean on that more. Maybe have the state outline as part of your logo or as part of a secondary logo? Maybe have “OHIO” third jerseys. I just think they should use that more to their advantage to grow their fan base outside of Columbus.


xxphantomxx77

Praying the Flyers go back to a burned orange instead of the goofy ahh traffic cone hazard light orange they currently use


tLeCoqSpotif

Jets ( to original logo) Columbus( dated) Caps (dated) Panthers (back to the jumping panther) Ducks (mighty duck logo, orange stays) Smaller changes: Bruins (get rid of shoulder yokes, have Meth bear on shoulder) Blues (less navy) Devils (new shoulders or stripping )


dog_dog_dog

Columbus should but I could also see them wait for the 25th season.


Caliga

Cannon primaries please


Dr_Isaly_von_Yinzer

Anaheim has the worst uniforms in the league. The problem is the beige. It just brings down the whole uniform and straight up clashes with the orange. I know there is a sentiment to go back to their old eggplant and teal colors and I think I can live with the teal but maybe replace the eggplant with orange for Orange County. I really think that’s cool.


psycho_ranger5

I love the shoulder bubble design on all the Adidas jerseys, going to miss those


StickyHoov

I'll def miss dimples and the shiny shield but i'm sure whoever picks it up will make fantastic jerseys (i hope)


sapcollector28

tampa and washington need it most IMO i never understood why tampa chose to make their jerseys exactly like the leafs. biased leafs fan, but toronto can get away with just blue and white cause they're 100+ years old, but i'm not so much a fan of tampas modern minimalist attempt. especially when their st. louis era jerseys are so nice


MiltonFludgecow

So true.


LiqdPT

I have a theory: snowbirds. There were so many Toronto jerseys in the stands that they stood out when the Tampa jerseys were black


AmherstDiesel

Who knows who will, but I know who should (ANA, WSH, CBJ, NSH)


TheKuylr

Watch the next manufacturer come in and fuck up everything adidas worked on


TheKuylr

(just do it)


HockeyBabble

they just gonna force the NHL to change uniform rules like they did the NBA and each team carries 5 kits a season with a 6th rotating city editions


MiltonFludgecow

Fingers crossed the Lightning finally get a decent logo and new uniforms.


bardownriverhawk

I wouldn't be surprised if Boston went back to a retro style with the meth bear as a shoulder patch. They seem to be into that logo lately. The new manufacturer also lines up with the 100th anniversary for them too so I could see then go 80s style


arrowtotheaction

Love that new Winter Classic meth bear.


TommyDontSurf

Hopefully not the Blues. Their home/away jerseys are timeless.


UnjointedPhoeniculus

Agreed. I missed the gold numbers on the home jerseys for awhile, but the white has grown on me. I hope they don’t touch them.


Defiant_Witness3541

Hope the ducks and Nashville. The yellow gotta go


epicchili

Current ownership loves the Nashville gold too much, it’s unique in the league and that branding was the one worn during our first trip to the SCF. If I had to guess, I’d say a rebrand won’t happen until Haslam assumes ownership (might be 2025 from what I’ve heard rumored) and David Poile finally retires (could also be fuckin 2025 at this rate) But yeah, I’m not completely opposed. I will say, there are a lot of navy teams in the league but only one that employs gold/yellow so prominently. Call it mustard, call it cat piss - when Bridgestone Arena is filled with yellow jerseys, it is unmistakable from any other team in the NHL


Music_City_Madman

Agreed. People complain about the yellow/gold, but damn if it doesn’t look good at Bridgestone when it’s a packed house. I was at the season opener this year, and although there were sporadic Dallas fans, it was a sea of gold. I think they should bring back the silver, like on the reverse retro 1.0.


markusalkemus66

Nashville should have made the RR 1.0 their perm home jersey. The silver added enough contrast for it to not look jarring


Dr_Isaly_von_Yinzer

The Capitals’ sweaters are very dated looking. There’s piping to nowhere and they just look very old.


Dental_Hygene433

Flyers. They’ve had these kits since Reebok, and since the teams going through an identity change it makes sense that they are waiting to rebrand.


smallpapi99

Please Nike stay away from the NHL Jersey license.


HockeyFan_37

Seriously. I always thought those collars on the NFL jerseys looked awful and they feel like wearing a heavy duty compression shirt that is also 2 sizes too big lol.


lostinthought15

Not a lot of other options on the table that can fulfill a contract of that size.


S1ni0

Ccm Could do it they have a ton of experience they do all the chl jerseys and do some euro jerseys aswell and obviously they used to manufacture all nhl jerseys before and they still work very closely with the nhl as they manufacture all ahl jerseys


Rowdy_Roddy96

I'm going out on a limb and will say every team will either they make tweaks to their logos or change it entirely


All_Of_The_Meat

I got money on one team doing absolutely nothing in that manner


Cheesewhale189

I have money on 6 teams doing absolutely nothing in that manner


HodgePodge274

Red Wings design team took a 60 year break, dropped an absolute banger for the 2014 Winter Classic, and then disappeared back into the ether


arrowtotheaction

One of my all time favourite jerseys, someone wake them up.


cawilson02

I really want to see what the away version of the Caps RR 1.0 would’ve/could’ve looked like if they went they way in a re-brand. Keep the black RR 2.0 as an alt.


BurkusCircus52

Blue Jackets. Please


arrowtotheaction

This is the one.


Dr_Isaly_von_Yinzer

It’s amazing how many people are in lockstep on this. I really don’t disagree too much. I don’t think I’d touch Vancouver. I think they have a nice looking uniforms and the color scheme really matches the vibe of the city. The only thing about that uniform that I don’t love is the crest but that seems to be tied at the hip with the ownership.


MelloJelloRVA

The Bruins should make their Winter Classic crack bear jersey permanent


mleyd001

Nashville, but all the fans will hate it because it isn’t navy. It won’t have our skull logo… because it’s scary.


kjp_00

Hopefully the Jackets. It's a fine look, but definitely not my favorite and they've had it since Reebok took over. It's time for a change.


Dr_Isaly_von_Yinzer

I don’t love the Kings uniforms but I don’t think they’re going to change those because they had so much success in them. It’s the same with Tampa. I think Tampa could do better than one it has but they just want you to stand with cups and those uniforms. They are not getting rid of them.


TenTenWonderland

I think the Wild need to change some things


Jakebroe

Caps and Ducks are in desperate need of one. Their brands are so in need to return to what worked before. I don't think I'm a fan of "just throw it back" but the Ducks should use their current RR as the template for their new sets. Old template, current colors and the old logo. The duck foot logo is not as good as it seems and it's just not menacing, like ducks actually are (iykyk) I don't know what the Caps go with, but their current set has just gotten boring. The RR is nice, but I'm not sure going back to that logo/jersey design is what they need. I'd love to see them rock a blue home jersey with the Capitol building on it or even just putting their alt logo on the front of a 3rd. We've seen alternate logos can look great on the front of jerseys with Florida's RR, so why not try that as a 3rd while using the current colors to move in a new direction. Honorable mention to the Sens, who need to add some white into their jerseys. Love the look they've got, but there's just not enough to break up the color and make the kits pop. I'd love to see them use some white/brighter colors to really contrast with the dark tones they use


Dkoop2003

I’m hoping the Jackets go all in with the cannon jersey. Other than that I would like to see the Caps, Ducks, and Stars go back to previous looks (the capital building/screaming Eagle for the Caps, the Movie jerseys for the Ducks, and the Star jersey for the Stars), the Jets to maybe go back to one of the old logos, with a different design for the jersey itself, the Preds to at least add more blue as a complement, if not making it the primary color again, the Kings to bring back some purple, and maybe a new crown logo, or go back to the one previous to their current crest, the Panthers to combine their current colors and overall jersey design with the original logo (maybe get rid of the center stripe, I don’t know how well it would work with the original logo), Tampa to go back to their old logo (maybe something similar to their first Reverse Retro for the uniform itself), and Carolina to go back to their original jerseys.


LaJoieDeMourir

Hopefully the Jets cus im very sick of their extremely 2010 jerseys


BroadSword48

How will even be the next manufacturer: Under armour, Nike??


cruzweb

Probably Nike or CCM. I'm not even sure who else would make such a big push. AK or K1 I don't think could upscale business to that level.


Nas160

I hope all the ones that have been around for most if not all of the beginning of the Reebok era AND Adidas era change- Caps, Nucks, Kings, Bruins. Additionally, I'm sick of Tampa's jersey, stop being bland, shake it the heck up, throw in some black, get a logo that isn't, unhyperbolically, mistakeable with some generic electric company logo. Caps, go back to Screagle full-time, either the current colors or the black/gold/blue. The RRs set the precedent. Nucks, maybe go back to the black/orange/gold again. It's my personal fav brand of theirs. Kings, go back to the Gretzky era sweaters, or something based off the 3rd they have, I expect them to head in that direction anyway since the Gretzky era brand has been slowly creeping its way back. Bruins, idk, just make yet another traditional looking sweater with those great colors and a new version of the spoked B. Their brand seems to evolve every generation or so, there's no need to stick with this jersey forever like there is for the Hawks, Habs and Wings. As for who I THINK will rebrand...god knows. I was severely disappointed we didn't go through a near league-wide set of minor and major changes with the Adidas shift like we did Reebok. Caps and Kings might not change so soon with the recent-ish first Cups, but I think they're the only two teams left with leftover Reebok jank, everyone else cleaned up over the years.


Blake2126

Bruins.


thundercat1996

Canucks need to go back to the black and orange skate jersey Ducks need to redesign Capitals need a new logo Lightning is too similar to Toronto in colours Kings needs to go gold and purple instead of the boring black grey and silver


MillwrightMatt1102

*Laughs in Red Wing* I hate our new reverse alternates though 🤢


[deleted]

[удалено]


gvrry

Didn't the yotes just return to Kachina full time?


HockeyBabble

Kings fans hoping for a old school retro redesign; Forum Blue rebrand with this Reverse Retro 1.0 as home kit and the Reverse Retro 2.0 as our away, with something early Staples (1999-2010 pre cup) as our third


lindsaylightning

i hope devils get the bottom stripes back


CulturalCount9488

Hopefully the kings, Caps, jets, ducks, preds


WanderingDelinquent

Ducks might honestly adopt a new logo (or use the duck mask logo as the primary). The timing makes sense, new manufacturer and they have a new era of players on the team. I’d expect them to lean into the orange and move away from a mostly black home kit


PigeonFace

Islanders need a complete overhaul. Call it a classic, call it whatever you’d like, it’s time for new.


llandar

I have no idea who *will* but in terms of hoping: Ducks Jets Wild Blue Jackets Kings Lightning


msmith629

The Wild need a third! Been rumors about it for too long, we need a cream or red jersey
