I seriously cannot believe the jersey jersey made it through all stages of development and no one thought how ridiculous it was

@AlexPittiStockMan 2 года назад

That's why it's good

@Gagne87Fixxer 2 года назад

The Jersey jersey has a bit of a retro feel with the stripes and the font used. I guess they wanted it to be as basic as it could. lol

Then they signed as many Rangers as possible to complete their obsession

@94champs Год назад

Inventors of diagonal? Was that supposed to be a "burn" of some kind? Because if it was, it failed miserably. Canes obviously copied the Rangers jersey. That'd be like if the Rangers came up with a fire flame "R" jersey and Calgary called us out on it, and we replied "You invented fire bro? Durrrrr" lol. Ridiculous retort.

I believe you missed the sabres butter knives jerseys with "Buffalo" in the bottom stripe (goat head era and reverse retro) they also had a rangers style jersey for a 9/11 tribute game, as well as the Kings jerseys 1998-2013 with "Los Angeles" in the bottom stripe, and their 2020 stadium series jersey

@JPS47 2 года назад

Buffalo also had a wordmark jersey back in 2001 when they played against the Rangers after 9/11. It was just their white goat head uniform but with New York logo similar to the Rangers logo.

@JeremyAsbridge 2 года назад

The Blues did have a jersey that had Blues over the top of the blue note. 1985 time frame.

@paulofearghail9408 2 года назад

With regard to the Colorado wordmark jerseys, the all-burgundy jersey was awesome (for a wordmark) because it really accentuated the primary color of the team. It is the only Avalanche jersey I own, and I wish it had been the one you showed. The blue one that followed was a monstrosity, in my opinion. In general, I'm not a big fan of wordmarks, but the burgundy (with just a bit of blue and black for accents) was nice.

@eddievigil6391 2 года назад

AGREED!!!

@dustman820 2 года назад

I think both Rangers, blue and white jerseys are the best of the wordmark jerseys. I also like the Hurricanes away, Pittsburgh 90s away and current alternate, and Tampa Bay 2022 Stadium Series wordmarks. You should have also shown the Predators 2022 Stadium Series jersey since that's is a wordmark as well, Smashville, but a wordmark all the same.

@cac23hockey 2 года назад

The Minnesota Wild also had their Winter Classic jersey from this last season, with the MPLS. St. Paul wrapped around the state of Minnesota

@dealy9268 2 года назад

I still have an away blue "NEW YORK" Rangers jersey from my childhood. It hangs on a blanket ladder I made for my daughter out of broken hockey sticks. She uses it as a jersey ladder. It's mostly Hurricanes jerseys but has that one Rangers jersey and my USA jersey I wore as a player on team USA. (See for you younger fans, the home jersey used to be white and the away was the darker jersey in the NHL) In 1955, the league mandated that teams wear colors at home and white on the road. That arrangement was reversed in 1970, when teams began wearing white at home. And then it was reversed again in 2003, when teams went back to wearing colors at home. The Rangers will always have the Iconic word mark jersey but as a Canes fan I do not mind that jersey.

@tbell61 2 года назад

Shannon, I know you have the old Seals jersey in your collection. I always loved that one, not matter what color it came in. I was especially fond of the 'pacific blue and gold' ones they wore the last couple of years in Oakland.

@estellegrignon 2 года назад

In the "college hockey look", there was also the burgundy Thrashers alternate. I know it looks more like a motocross shirt than a hockey jersey, but I remember thinking they were hella sharp back when it first came out.

@rcl1955ca 2 года назад

I love the powder blue Pittsburgh word mark. I wish they had done a white one as an homage to the Penguins first season. Having said that, I thought the 'Jersey' jersey and the Bolts, Jets and Dallas were as weak as they come. As a rule I kind of like wordmark jersey's if their done right.

The Rangers should have copy written that style so no one else could have used it. The script style sometimes works, definitely for The Hockey Guy, and just a few others. Not a fan of the shortened names… Canes, Preds, Sens, and especially Bolts, since they aren’t the bolts, they are the Lightning. Love the St. Pat’s for the history, but not with Toronto with it. Impressed but a little concerned of the number of word marks in The Hockey Guy’s collection. 😏

@higgy04 2 года назад

I heard from some friends who thought the Flames wordmark jersey was like the jerseys that were sold at Canadian Tire or Target back when they were around. There was a time when St. Louis had BLUES above the musical note in the mid-1980's. Wasn't a big fan of it. I think it said ST. LOUIS on the note back then too.

If you’re going to include the Screaming Eagle you gotta include the Buffalo Butter Knives jerseys and the Kings’ jerseys from the 2000’s decade Also in the same vein as the Buffalo half and half abomination, the Nashville mustard jersey says ‘Nashville’ under the neck.

The Jersey jersey is actually clever. If you are not from the New York/ New Jersey Metro area you don't get it. As a New Yorker We always called New Jersey "Jersey" . You would say something like, "I can smell Jersey from here". Or if you ask someone from New Jersey where they were from they would say, "Jersey". Now living in North Carolina where everyone from up north has moved to, You still here people from New Jersey refer to it as "Jersey". The jersey actually sells to people who don't even like hockey. You see pro Basketball, Baseball, Football players from NJ wearing the Jersey jersey all the time. Rap stars and actors as well. It has become a home town jersey to people from Jersey.
