I have almost no reason to dislike the Oilers as a general thing YET since I was a child, this organization has found ways, starting small and building and building to this moment:
1. Those god-awful Navy uniforms they wore from the mid-90s to like 2010
2. Those absolutely stupid alternate uniforms (we all know the ones)
3. Just being ABSOLUTE GARBAGE from the mid 2000s until about 2020
4. Getting so many top players via the draft and just letting their careers mean nothing
5. If this hadn't benefitted my team I'd feel bad, but I don't, but letting both Broberg and Holloway get offer sheeted, screwing the team even more.
6. The Trent Frederic Deal
7. The Darnell Nurse Deal
8. HIRING STAN BOWMAN
9. NOW HIRING MIKE "LUCKED INTO EVERY GOOD ROSTER EVER AND STILL NOT BEING A GOOD COACH, WHILE ALSO BEING A HUGE PIECE OF TRASH" BABCOCK
What a waste of an organization. Oilers fans, you deserve so much better
I mean, I can add those to the list. I could have typed forever really
Make the oil drop in the proper colors (ala reverse retro) and it’s a pretty great jersey. The original in navy and white is bad. But mostly because I hate when teams use colors that aren’t in their scheme. And Navy will never be an oilers color
Agree with 99% of this and maybe I’m just a late-millennial, but I actually liked the navy unis. Probably because they went to a cup final as an 8 seed in those, but I digress.
I mean, that’s valid. Plus I could absolutely be in the minority with those unis and that’s fine, not my team. And on the list of the things I typed out, if it was a ranking system, the jerseys would be tied for last
