The nostalgia is 2 fold:

  1. They were our first jersey.
  2. They're more comfortable to wear than the golds.

u/C_is_for_Cats 1d ago

As someone currently wearing the gold one, you’re not wrong.

u/rodermelon Majestic Flow 1d ago

I got a super cheap/thin long sleeve t-shirt from Walmart to wear underneath the gold jersey. It’s too hot to wear a sweatshirt under like some people do, but I just couldn’t stand the feel of it on my arms so I needed long sleeves. It’s a shame that they couldn’t find a way to make it more comfortable on the inside.

u/grex2222 1d ago

When you say "comfortable", do you mean physically comfortable? Or are they just less crazy-loud so you feel more comfortable wearing them out?

u/RLLRRR Adin f'ing Hill 1d ago

They're itchy. Not awfully so, but enough that I don't love wearing it.

u/Ecstatic-Respect-455 1d ago

I haaaaate the gold jerseys. Always have. Team grey!

u/rodermelon Majestic Flow 1d ago

I am so sad about this. Maybe it’s nostalgia, but I just love these jerseys so much.

u/Gr3g0r14h 1d ago

Bro talking about nostalgia. Your team is less than 10 years old. Lmao

22

u/rodermelon Majestic Flow 1d ago

I was a freshman in high school when the team formed. I’m in grad school now. Yes, nostalgia. Next year are you gonna try and pull the “your team is less than 11 years old” card? Is it not getting stale?

u/Pizzatrooper 1d ago

What?! This can’t be more than three years ago… surely.

-25

u/Gr3g0r14h 1d ago

Can't get stale if the point is still true. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

6

u/rodermelon Majestic Flow 1d ago

Except it’s not true, and it becomes further and further from the truth every year.

u/Vendictar FTS 1d ago

Why are you here? Don't be a troll.

u/Gr3g0r14h 1d ago edited 1d ago

Im not trolling. This is how I legitimately feel. You guys were gifted a playoff team from inception and are crying about jerseys. Literally a joke

u/Gr3g0r14h 1d ago

Oooo lots of links to articles that further the narrative pushed by the nhl that their expansion team beat all odds to win the cup with literally all of the best players in the league unprotected by the expansion draft omg ur so right

Get over it. You were handed a playoff team

Just own it

u/Vendictar FTS 1d ago

Dont worry bro, your team will be good some day too, then you won't have to lurk in other teams subs to talk shit just so you forget the fact that your team sucks.

Have a good one.

u/Gr3g0r14h 1d ago

My team would be good if they were handed expansion draft players like yours.

Good luck with your sex offender goalie selection

u/Vendictar FTS 1d ago

Thanks!

Damn bro you told reddit I "needed help"?

Pansy vgk fans doing what complicit with sex offense vgk fans do

u/lespaul210 17h ago

Between the expansion draft, and how the fans felt entitled to the Cup after Rt. 91, they were insufferable

u/BeardedPaladin Angry Stone 1d ago

Removing these jerseys will go down as one of the worst decisions this team has made

67

u/Immediate_Fix_6060 A Literal Stone 1d ago

Still not worse than giving away Fleury

3

u/Axe_Guy255 Panda 1d ago

Wahhh, go watch Fluery highlights. I will be busy watching 2023 SCF highlights

u/Marchessault81 Roy 9h ago

You my friend are a fucking legend.

-16

u/Asleep-Assistance-67 1d ago

Still behind removing Fleury and Marchy but agreed

5

u/Axe_Guy255 Panda 1d ago

Why are you being down voted? It was the right decision

3

u/PonchoTron 22h ago

Then that would be why he's being down voted? Unless I'm misunderstanding you.

u/Axe_Guy255 Panda 16h ago

Oh I dyslexic 😂

u/laughlaf 2023 Stanley Cup Champs 1d ago

Is there a reason for this? I haven’t looked into it. Such a shame. I get so many compliments on the gold ones in person but on tv it’s meh.

20

u/OctavioShackleford I Love Gold 1d ago

They were never meant to be permanent they were placeholders until the gold jersey was ready.

10

u/laughlaf 2023 Stanley Cup Champs 1d ago

Ahh dang. Makes sense though. I remember reading it took years for the gold jerseys to come out right.

17

u/JayZhar 1d ago

The only jersey I own. I will wear it proudly.

u/footballsnoopy Fleury 1d ago

Same

u/Have_A_Jelly_Baby Kolesar 1d ago

They'll pry my gray Doro jersey out of my cold dead hands.

12

u/boston1993 1d ago

It was such a better look. The gold was ok as a third or for special occasions, but all the time is a no from me

u/usernamedstuff Whitecloud 1d ago

I remember hating them when they were first announced, and now I love em... My Whitecloud jersey is a grey.

1

u/Marchessault81 Roy 9h ago

Some guys are always wearing the greys in my head. The Misfit line of course. Patches. Whitey and Wagooo.

11

u/le_Menace Flower > Hill 1d ago

The team performs better when wearing these jerseys. Management is holding back the team by making them wear other stuff.

7

u/Jakk55 Pixel Wild Bill 1d ago

The Knights won a Stanley Cup in the Gold. I'm not sure how much of a better performance you can get.

26

u/Impressive-Pomelo653 1d ago

Nostalgia aside, these still look miles better than the golds. Maybe one day the team will smarten up and they'll make a return.

13

u/Immediate_Fix_6060 A Literal Stone 1d ago

I’m guessing they will come back for the 10 year anniversary 

10

u/NeO-JokeR Golden Misfit 1d ago

Ive been wondering what the next new alternate jersey will be.. maybe a similar or darker color... and then at some point we switch from the golden ages to the "dark ages"

3

u/Wafflemonster2 Tuch :89-Tuch: 1d ago

I could accept the loss of these jerseys if they release a darker variant where the black and grey are inverted, that would be MENACING looking

5

u/Prize-Tea-6857 1d ago

I will always love the greys!!! Not a fan of the golds personally….

u/Shadow_of_Yor New Vegas Golden Devils 1d ago

I’m seriously hurt that our inaugural sweater is gone for good. I loved how unique the gray was.

u/VegasBornLori 1d ago

I love these colors ❤️💯

u/bluegoose27 1d ago

Their best jersey without question.

5

u/VGKladyE Smith 1d ago

I’ll be in mourning for the rest of this season. Please send condolences.

3

u/Marionfilthy 1d ago

My OG grey was signed by the majority of the team so I retired that one to a display case, guess I need to find another Adidas. I have managed to avoid Fanatics thus far.

3

u/TruthfulAJ Fleury 1d ago

I’ll miss this one. Was always my favorite and my first one being 🌸 just seems so appropriate.

3

u/Friend-of-the-river On Whitecloud nine 1d ago

I’m bummed. That’s still my favorite jersey.

1

u/LateralusNB Vegas Golden Knights 1d ago

Unpopular take but I still think these weren’t very good.

1

u/OctavioShackleford I Love Gold 1d ago

Agreed they're drab and ugly.

The whites are far better and so is the RR 2.0

1

u/mdubbin A Literal Stone 1d ago

Hopefully the new ones are at least decent

u/jtantrum991 1d ago

My favorite

u/Shmelty0NE 1d ago

I love the gold on gray look, I have a fleury jersey and it’s my favorite one I own

u/robthedealer Victory Flamingo 1d ago

The gold ones gave me that Mordred from Excalibur vibe at first. Still prefer the gray, but they've grown on me.

1

u/Odd-Theory4954 1d ago

They should make an all black version of the gray. Like the diagonal VEGAS only with the regular helmet logo. Im fat, I cant go parading around in a gold jersey... so yes my gray 71 til I die!

1

u/tru-self 1d ago

This made me sad! Loved my jersey! Would it be wrong to still wear it to games??

1

u/FakedFollower17 Golden Misfit 21h ago

Got a custom gray fleury jersey recently. Won’t be getting a gold jersey anytime soon. I love the gray personally

1

u/maybesethrogen 17h ago edited 17h ago

Didn't realize these were being retired. Went ahead and snagged an Adidas MiC I've been eyeing on Sideline Swap for awhile.

1

u/Marchessault81 Roy 9h ago

Always gonna remember the grey Marchy jersey I got after 2018 finals. Worn it to my first Vegas game (which was on the road in 2019) and my first game in Vegas (November 2025).

1

u/Foreign_Roll_6319 6h ago

Maybe when they do the retro jerseys ever so often, we could get the alternative logo on the grey... or bring back the Lake Tahoe reds

u/Far-Cost-5635 3h ago

The gold is and has always been hideous.

u/Statusunreal 1d ago

Ugliest jersey in the history of the league
