San Jose Sharks fans made a bit of a stink when the team opted for black jerseys in the playoffs once again — despite having created teal ones that matched those famous "weight-saving" measures. But given the collapse we witnessed by a team poised to sweep their way through the quarterfinals, it's probably safe to say we won't be seeing playoff black in the bay area for the foreseeable future.

Having said all that, Ryan Yuck shows us that the Sharks can have a sharp black jersey that uses teal as nothing more than a trim color. Well, I like it anyway. You?
