The Ducks and Sharks are drawing positive reviews for their Hometown Remix jerseys, while the Blackhawks are not the only Original Six team to face criticism. SPORTSNET\u2019s David Morassutti ranked the Ducks atop his list and wrote it is hard not to put those jerseys at No. 1 \u201cwhen they\u2019re bringing back so much nostalgia from the Mighty Ducks era.\u201d The combination of green, purple and gold \u201cimmediately transports you back to the 1990s\u201d (SPORTSNET.ca, 11\/2<\/a>). THE SCORE\u2019s Sean O\u2019Leary wrote the Ducks jerseys will \u201cstrike a nostalgic chord for a whole generation of hockey fans who grew up with Charlie Conway and the District 5 Mighty Ducks\u201d (THESCORE.com, 11\/2<\/a>). DAILY FACEOFF\u2019s Tyler Kuehl wrote if you \u201cdon\u2019t like the Ducks\u2019 remixes\u2026then clearly you don\u2019t love hockey.\u201d He added going \u201call out with the green and gold from the first Mighty Ducks film absolutely checks all the boxes\u201d (DAILY FACEOFF, 11\/2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

SHARKS ATTACK: DAILY FACEOFF\u2019s Kyle Morton likes the Sharks jersey and wrote, \u201cThis is an unserious concept as a whole, and including the gums and teeth on the sleeves is the exact correct amount of whimsy to throw into one of these looks.\u201d Morton: \u201cI like the \u2018SJ\u2019 wordmark and this new version of the logo\u201d (DAILY FACEOFF, 11\/2<\/a>). USA TODAY\u2019s Mike Brehm wrote the Sharks have the best jersey, as the new shark logo \u201clooks more menacing than the regular logo.\u201d It is \u201cnot biting a stick and it\u2019s popping through the letters SJ\u201d (USA TODAY, 11\/2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

PENGUINS ARE MARCHING: ESPN.com\u2019s Greg Wyshynski ranked the Penguins No. 1, writing that if the \u201cprimary ethos of the Hometown Remix project is to connect the jersey to the city, then Pittsburgh gets enormous credit for doing it without relying on \u2026 architecture or weather phenomena.\u201d Wyshynski: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mine franchise history for an obscure look from which to draw; it\u2019s reimagining the team\u2019s primary logo for the better part of 55 years, although it nods to previous team color schemes, too\u201d (ESPN.com, 11\/2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

TOO STUCK ON TRADITION: In Vancouver, Paul Chapman wrote one thing to come out of this project is that the NHL is \u201cterrified of doing anything creative with an original six team,\u201d as most of those jerseys feature \u201cjust the regular concepts barely touched.\u201d Chapman: \u201cIf MLB can produce Yankees hats in different colours, the Leafs can do more than just putting a different old-timey leaf on a white jersey.\u201d He noted there were \u201csome real eye-catchers in there,\u201d pointing out the Penguins, Sharks, Ducks and Panthers (Vancouver PROVINCE, 11\/2<\/a>). In Utah, Brogan Houston ranked the Red Wings last, noting they had the opportunity to do \u201csomething different.\u201d Adding the \u201cword \u2018HockeyTown\u2019 doesn\u2019t constitute \u2018different\u201d (DESERET NEWS, 11\/2<\/a>). DAILY FACEOFF\u2019s Steven Ellis: \u201cWhat the heck was Montreal thinking there? I don\u2019t love the all-white look, and I have a few of their white jerseys. I just wish the logo had some actual color there\u201d (DAILY FACEOFF, 11\/2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

GOING BACK FOR SECONDS: In Tampa, Eduardo Encina noted the Lightning basically brought back the same \u201cpirate skull patch logo\u201d from February\u2019s Stadium Series game with just a \u201csubtle tweak.\u201d The Hometown Remix jersey \u201cpays homage to the Lightning\u2019s history while also recognizing Tampa Bay and continuing the Gasparilla theme that the league leaned into heavily for the Stadium Series game\u201d (TAMPA BAY TIMES, 11\/2<\/a>). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ducks and Sharks are drawing positive reviews for their Hometown Remix jerseys, while the Blackhawks are not…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":517381,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,824,165,164,404,98],"class_list":["post-517380","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-ducks","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news","tag-nhl","tag-san-jose-sharks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=517380"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517380\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/517381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=517380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=517380"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=517380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
