I don’t think there is anything better than traveling to a new place and embracing the feeling that place gives you. That’s how I felt when I lived in places like Oklahoma City, Houston, and Dallas.
I remember my coworkers asking me to go line dancing in OKC and taking me to a store to get dressed up for the occasion. We looked at boots, button-down shirts, and belts, and I enjoyed it. I wanted to experience what it felt like to really fit into a region so different from where I grew up. I think part of that is dressing the part.
We saw it a couple of times on this week’s NHL-style power rankings, and not just on an individual level. On top of that, man’s best friend also showed up. Not the same way Bucky did last time, but Zeus’s owner made sure to take his mate with him on the catwalk and let the world know who he was yelling at.
This week, we also saw a bold proclamation from an NHL team, and hopefully we’ll see a bit more trash talking about the teams on social media. Let’s see if everyone enjoyed some of these as much as I did.

I’m extremely pleased to see the Yeehaw agenda thrive in the NHL. And not just players here or there or those from the Southwest teams, but a whole team committed to the spirit of the region? I have no choice but to tip my cap, pun entirely intended. These gentlemen took a trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and suddenly everyone was wearing a cowboy hat. In addition to loving the overall group effort, a round of applause must be given to the photographer, because the dark lighting, the angles of these photos, and the mood captured are spectacular.
This is included, because not only do I love the fact that Marner wore socks with his dog, but I LOVE the lengths he took to make sure we knew he was wearing these socks with Zeus in them. I absolutely adore my mascots, so I understand where the Toronto Maple Leafs right winger, who is on a historic scoring streak, is coming from. I want to show them to people as much as people let me. I’m starting to notice a theme with Toronto and socks. Keep up the good work, gentlemen.
Looks like there’s a new sheriff in town, folks. I would have to do a closer examination, but the suit appears to be of high-quality wool. Considering the setting, that would make sense, but what really stood out to me was the texture and color used in this set. It’s a very muted blue-green, so it makes you take a second look, but without being too strong. I love the tie and the pocket square, because it really is a very relaxed suit, and those two details have a little bit of extra sparkle.
Maybe it’s just me, but I look at the jacket the New York Rangers center is wearing and I think it looks so comfortable. The lightweight fabric is perfect for the Los Angeles weather. I think the sand color is easy on the eye, and the decision to go with a mismatched suit is a good choice. He even goes a step further with a light blue tie and dark blue pants, and pairs the pocket square with the pants.
Who knew that a plum suit with a pink dress shirt and bubblegum paisley tie was what I needed in my life? Here’s the thing, I really enjoy when people fix their outfits; what I mean specifically is that they choose a color family and use different variations of the primary color. In this case, the Nashville Predators winger opted for the color red, and it has such a sophisticated feel. That is, until you read the caption and see the next photo in the post. The Predators social team clearly has a good sense of humor.
At first glance, the copper suit of the Minnesota Wild striker seems to take center stage. But we are not easily impressed by the exterior, oh no. Upon closer inspection, does everyone see the lining? For someone with a reputation as an enforcer, I didn’t necessarily see it coming. There are bright colors and characters with a variety of emotions detailing the inside of Reaves’ jacket. Much more than meets the eye with this one.
The Colorado Avalanche center has been feeling the color tan and three-piece suits of late. Her subtle play on color coordination has been insane, especially with these two outfits from the last two weeks. I prefer the one in blue because it was the more challenging of the two. The blue suit paired with a tan vest, pocket square, and socks mean all the complementary colors work with each other. I see the dark brown shoes, and for a second I thought the tie might be elite too, but upon closer inspection, it’s determined to be black. So close. This is me being very picky, but I wish the hat was a bit more tan to match the rest of that specific color. No points deducted, obviously, but I would be much more impressed.
If the photographer could explain what’s going on, I’d really appreciate it. I am very curious as to what is causing the San Jose Sharks defenseman to make this face. Beyond the expression, what really stood out to me was that Karlsson was wearing a bow tie with this elegant outfit. I really racked my brain and realized he hadn’t come across a bow-tie-wearing NHL player. I think it would have been very easy for him to make a solid dark blue tie to match the suit, but the dark blue striped tie makes a nice centerpiece.
The title of this photo made me so funny. The Columbus Blue Jackets social team knows they have a fashion icon on their list, and the people who work on those accounts aren’t afraid to tell it like it is. I love that and lean towards it, especially as someone who really enjoys honesty. So why is this reputation in the city on the far left? Let’s evaluate. Captivating jacket color? Check. Wine red suit jackets go against the grain, but they’re not so stylish as to be off-putting. Laine then matched the shirt and hat, then tossed in a tie with black and the muted gold of the suit jacket. Let’s go. It’s not obvious, but these are the kind of details I’m a big fan of with clothes.
By itself, the tan suit worn by the Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman would turn heads in a room or in a crowd. But upon closer inspection, I realized that he matched the dark blue lines of his suit and tie with his shoes. So aesthetically pleasing to see that level of attention to detail. I’m even a fan of seeing the lapels and collar slightly turned up, rather than flat.
