(If you don’t know the history, there is a reason this place isn’t striving to be that place.)

Also, what does unpopular opinion have to do with the alt story of others? A lot of those guys focus on design and like to make a challenge for themselves by developing a fiction so they have a prompt to follow. On the other hand, we tend to see a lot of story driven scenarios that let design sit in the passenger seat. There is a reason we were purged. That place is for design and this is for a lot more creative story freedom. The members that separate their design and their stories do not “need” to do anything because there is probably a reason they want them separated. Take it from someone who’s been on one of them since it started and the other for about 9 years now.

I don't see why that's an "Unpopular Opinion". I'd love for Raysox to come over if he wanted. But he may also not want to do a full-fledged story thread.

in that case, I'll start it. The Ottawa senators black and golf jersey is the best one they ever had, with the current ones second.

Also, the Winnipeg jets current home and away are miles ahead of the og jets

Are we talking the early 2000s alt for Ottawa? I think them using gold would definitely elevate a bland brand and that jersey gives a taste of it, but idk about it being the best. I think their best jersey is their original white and their current darks, but there is so much room for improvement. Wish they brought back the weird red jersey as their reverse retro.

As for Winnipeg, I'd agree with the colors being better, despite them coming from an era where every team needed as much blue as possible. Their jerseys are getting dated, and that age is being exposed with all the great jerseys they have been showing. I think their new reverse retro hurt the look.

Ottawa’s head from last season is better than the current one right now. The colors of the Senators also need to change to the ones least year. The kachina Coyote is one of if not THE best look in league history because of it’s creativity and how it steps outside of the traditional box.

I do think that Ottawa could have done better with their new logo, but I prefer it over the previous look. The execution on the previous logo is excellent, but it is complex and gets busy on a jersey. The simplistic approach looks clean on the ice. It might also benefit from not being presented on a plain Reebok template with 0 character.

I would agree with the Kachina if it wasn't so drab. Do I love it? Yes, I am a Coyotes fan that thinks anything is better than their modern era. The fact that I think it could be improved takes it out of that conversation, in my mind. Imo, the absolute best look in league history would have to be New York's white jersey from 1978 to now, Calgary's "retro" home/away, and San Jose's original home/away. 

Honorable mention that I didn't include because I don't think others would feel the same is Buffalo's 2018 Winter Classic, New York's 2018 Winter Classic and Buffalo's 50th anniversary jersey.

Yah, the early 2000s alternate with the patterned gold stripes. If they used that as the basis for their home and away, and then a funky "swoosh" as an alt, they'd be set.
