Hockey Trash Talk & BS thread

Joe Thornton is a Maple Leaf

 

I thought Joe just signed with Switzerland?

Kings Sign Quinton Byfield will wear #55

 

This is strange. Why do we keep signing old Sharks.

 

Cause they don't want to win?

 

I think he's playing in Switzerland till the NHL season starts

 

You're probably not wrong.

 

"Beat him like a rented mule" and "went around him like a hoop around a barrel" dead at 97

 

That Detroit one is just brutal.

 

So is the TO, Winnipeg, Arizona, and Colorado jerseys. Christ on a lawn why was this a priority for 2020-2021?

 

I actually like the Avs and Wild jerseys , always hated that stupid Calgary horse thing

 

Obviously the jersey designers were all infected with Covid-19. It not only corrupted their color pallet but also their ability to make a nice design.

Someone needs to contact the CDC and report these findings.

As a Kings fan their color selection is barf on barf. They asked which are the two worst colors possible in the color spectrum and a Kobi fan yelled out Gold and Purple.

A Kings designer that actually hates the team took him up on it.

 

I mean, the Kings had purple/gold jerseys from 67-88..

I just don't get why the Leafs didn't throw back to the St. Pats and the Wings didn't throw back to the Cougars.

Also, the Bruins shoulda had the meth bear on the front.

 

They were ugly as hell back then, no reason to return to it.

The forum blue color is much easier on the eyes.

Blue, black with a white or grey would be much better.

I would prefer the Burger King jerseys to the ones above.

I liked these ones.

 

The "purple" they threw back to is "forum blue", is it not?
They combined the 90s logo with the pre-90s colours, looks different but I don't mind it.
I dig the purple/gold over their newer scheme.

 

Very different unless you are color blind.

 

"Los Angeles Kings (1989 – The year that Wayne Gretzky became the NHL’s all-time leading scorer) — This Reverse Retro Jersey features the team’s beloved crest, an homage to the ‘90s Era of LA Kings Hockey. The throwback look is combined with the founding LA Kings Forum Blue and Gold colors, a tribute to the team’s original uniforms in the ‘60s and ‘70s while also highlighting a favorite color combination of Los Angeles sports fans." (source)

"First, the crest of the jersey pays homage to the 1989-1990 season when Wayne Gretzky broke the NHL record for most points ever, passing Gordie Howe's 1,850 points. Gretzky did so on Oct. 15, 1989 with a third period goal against the Edmonton Oilers, backhanding a puck in on the Kings current Goalie Coach, Bill Ranford.

The second tribute to the Kings Reverse Retro jersey, completing the new look is the Kings original colors of LA Kings Forum Blue and Gold. Both the design and colors of the uniform commend the Kings history in the 60's and 70's, while also highlighting a color combination favorite among the Los Angeles sports fans." (source)

 

Yes a BS propaganda post that has no truth in reality. I have been a fan long enough to know better.

 

I mean, okay I guess?

I still like the forum blue/purple/whatever and gold better than the black/white/silver. Makes me wonder about the current shield logo with the old colours...

like this

 

That is again the purple/gold that makes me want to barf looking at it.

Maybe it's OK if you are forced to pick up trash on the side of the road and need to be seen.

The only one worse is the Caltrans orange the the Ducks were forced to wear.
