it just doesn't feel like a Jag uni to me without some gold on it
Team Mexico beat the Twins last night, oh wait, those were the Red Sox.
A fan's take on the Jags new uniforms. These would have been a million times better:

The new Jags uni is fugly. It doesn't correspond well with their helmet except for that teal tongue of the Jagura. Seriously, why do they use teal so much?
This is WAY better, at least it has the old jaguras on the arm.
The Edmonton Oilers unfortunately can't turn back the clock and put Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier in those orange-and-blue jerseys.
But retro is back, and in a big way.
The Oilers will change their home look for the 2009-10 season, playing 27 times in the orange-and-blue from their glory days. The copper-and-blue will only be worn 14 times at Rexall Place.
"The dark blue will become our third jersey, as was Todd McFarlane's former design (blue and silver with the gears on the sweater)," said Oilers president and CEO Patrick LaForge. "The road whites will stay the same."
Maybe the Oilers should wear the whites home and away. They were considerably more dangerous away from Rexall this past season.
Some good news out of Edmonton. Those new uni's look more like pajamas. They should just go retro all the time. Bring back the whites and blues from the 1980's!

I'd love to see the Islanders do the same, and get rid of those orange armed abominations we have now. The retro sweaters they wore this past year were great.
Now the NHL just needs to go back to wearing the white jerseys at home, as it's supposed to be.
I thought the Isle's were gonna go with the alternate's full time at home next year? Which if they do is a win.
I havent seen that anywhere.
The Islanders are working with the NHL to clear their vintage mid-70s jerseys as their primary uniform for next season. It figures to be an uphill battle, probably because theres inventory of their first RBK uniform systems still around. Nevertheless, the Islanders are pushing to make the move. Worse-case scenario: the Islanders wear their once-and-future jerseys for 20 games next year and then go full-time in 2010-11″

Nice. I read Botta's blog pretty often, not sure how I missed that one? Always loved the royal blue over the navy blue, and the orange arm stripes were enough to give you nausea
Hopefully this means we'll get a white throwback as well.
Cant wait to order my Tavares retro jersey....
The Helmet also has a paint on it that appears black, but when it is hit by light, it gives off a teal hue. :fail:

i think that's just the teal flakes in the paint.
but i actually like them![]()
Yeah, it's just teal metallic flakes, like you'd find in custom paint jobs on hot rods. The flakes look fairly fine (in terms of size) and gives the helmet a much more dynamic look than just plain black.
that's what i like about it. the uni redesign is kinda plain-ish so this will help a lil
