Yeah hopefully the Sonics are on their way back soon with that new arena but that hurt. Seeing such a cool franchise move the second got Durant wasn’t fun even from an outside perspective.

Weirdly though, the one Sonics fan I knew in college moved with them because he was originally from Oklahoma before moving to Seattle so it worked real well for him.

Best case scenario for him lol The Thunder is just not an appealing franchise. The Sonics color scheme and all the rock, grunge scene that comes with the city of Seattle was too cool to just disappear with it. I heard Garnett was thinking about buying the Wolves and taking them to Seattle. Sacramento was a possibility a little while back.

The white one yes, when paired with the black diagonal Pittsburgh was a good set of jerseys. The black Robo penguin jersey blew. I believe I hate it even more because it went from the third jersey to replacing the diagonal Pittsburgh which I loved.

We’ve been through this conversation about the black robot penguin jersey lol I absolutely love that grey, black, yellow and white jersey.

I think the Avs are the nicest....really dig what the Wild did too. Those North Stars colors are engrained in my memory from the 1991 finals, some of my earliest hockey memories. I remember watching those games thinking I was going to throw up I was so nervous haha.

I dislike how they left the triangle off. They did that on the yellow jerseys too.

I never really thought about that but I went back and looked...I agree. It would of jazzed up the bleak whiteness of it all a bit.

The Pens changed the jersey after back to back cups when going for a 3 peat. Not that the jersey had anything to do with it but I'm sure that's probably why. It's funny the Pens semi-changed when going on the 2016 run then made the full change in 2017.

I think they changed the jerseys inbetween the 2 cups. not after.

In the 2016 run they were using white/vegas gold on the road and black/pittsburgh gold at home. So they made the third jersey the home jersey then in 2017 they made an away version of the Pittsburgh gold.

Gotcha haha. He may be right I was pretty damn young with those back to backs.
Edit: after looking the 90's up, It was after back to back cups.
