guam64 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Looks like the Blackhawks WC template, pretty decent looking jersey if you aren't the type that would be bothered by a 10 year old franchise having a "retro" looking jersey.

attila Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Flyers should wear a Quakers sweater... In fact I bet they will, because there hasn't been much variation in flyers uniforms since 1967. Unless they decide to suit up in cooperalls...

Well it looks a lot better than our retro Pittsburgh inspired mess of fugliness from two years ago: I swear that they had to give these things away just to get them off the shelves b/c no one wanted them. Or there's the not as ugly but otherwise boring jersey from this past season...which still isn't exactly flying off the shelves: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sluggermatt15 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I'd love to see the Bruins bring back the old brown and gold bear jerseys. That would be awesome. Although, my gut tells me that both teams will go with jerseys matching what they wore during the 1974 Finals. Amen to that, my favorite Bruins jersey of all time is their sweaters from 1926, the brown and white sweaters with the gold cuffs along the sleeves. I wonder if the brown had anything to do with bears being brown.... hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I hope, you're talking about the one from 1928 - Eddie Shore era because that's the one I'd love to see Been there, done that. The number on the back is felt too. As for the Flyers, what choice to they have? They've had one basic jersey since forever. They just have to decide on which variation of it to go with, unless they pull a "Minnesota Wild" and create a fake throwback in a 1920's style they never actually wore.

xcdude Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 I like the Philadelphia Quakers idea someone threw out. That Bruins jersey is sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the Flyers potentially using a Philadelphia Quakers jersey, but like others have said above, their uniform / logo has not really changed since 1967. I also think it would be sick if Boston used the brown and gold sweater from the 1920s. I can see some inspiration for the much older jerseys for this year's WC because for the 2009 WC Detroit's jersey was from 1926 and Chicago's was from the 1930s.

akteon Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Apparently Timmy didn't get the memo. I saw a smaller less clear pic on icethetics. That one pretty much confirms it in my opinion. I think its decent, I just don't get why they have to "invent" a vintage sweater though - comparing from NHLUniforms.com, it looks like they took the yellow jersey from 1958 but are using the "B" logo that looks more like their original from 1948. I don't know why they couldn't just pick a jersey from their past instead of frankenstein-ing one together. Then again that's what I expect the Flyers to do, but what choice do they have?

ZoomZoom18 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I like the Flyers one, I can see that one becoming a full-time road jersey in the future, especially considering which jersey Pronger was seen with this summer. Wish I could say the same for that Bruins jersey...especially since they have a few neat ones to choose from...like the one JeffB has.

Sluggermatt15 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 I personally think the Flyers one is pretty ugly, I mean, what year did they match it from? Or was it a stupid newly invented jersey? I like the Bruins one (if that picture above is true) much better... although I am a little surprised to see them going with a gold jersey.

attila Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 The Flyers used that jersey from their first season until the early 80s with minor tweaks. I don't know if they ever wore a black name plate on them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Oh sweet! I really like the Bruins' jerseys. That's an homage to the 25th anniversary team unis from 1949 I think. That funky fonted B was the first spoked wheel they ever wore. I'm digging that one. The Flyers one too but the black nameplate is strange. I think maybe it's just in contrast to the black-letters-on-white-nameplate that's on their current 3rds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attila Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 at least the B's didn't go with their football style sweater from the 40's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Okay I lied...the original B's one was white while this one is gold. Same basic idea though and I don't like it any less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcdude Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Ok when are the Rangers going to bring back the Liberty Head jersey??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted September 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 I was a fan of the Rangers Liberty jerseys - even the white one from '99 grew on me. But I doubt we'll see it again because apparently vintage is the new cool. I figure the Rangers won't have a 3rd jersey until they get a spot in a winter classic (probably sooner rather than later) and then they'll have a vintage jersey.
