2024-2025 Blues Multi-Purpose Thread.

I know, I was looking at it he has played more games than guys like Oshie, Ramage, Shattenkirk, Gilmour, Polack, Meagher, Babych, Baron, Chase, both Cavallini’s
he is 25th in games played now and he is going to pass Bou, Demitra, and Red next year
I marveled at it too when I noticed one day how many games he’s played already.

Passes Walt as well with a healthy season.
 
I’m not excited about this rebranding if it’s going the way I think it is. I know it’s a minority opinion, but the WC jerseys should strictly be worn once in a while. I don’t like the idea of making it the main kit.

I believe this will be what the new sweaters look like. I suck at AI so this is the best I could do. I kept trying to get the heritage logo on the home sweater but it kept messing it up

The “blue” looks like it has moved a bit more toward a “royal” than the heritage blue, which is the right call, IMO.

My graphic designer friends can finally rest easy with the current colorway retiring. Their whole shtick was you can’t pair a navy with a blue that far into the violet gradient without it screaming purple. If I squinted I could understand what they were saying, but I'm thrilled to not have to hear it again.

The timing of this happening while the team is on the uptick has to be great for the organization. The more aggressive/bird of prey wing fits well with the identity we saw down the stretch, too. Gives the marketing team some room to play.

Separate: This forum alone is going to sell out the hats with the treble STLs.

Bold #1: I love to draw.....like....a lot......and am always conscious of the colors I choose. Background is everything, meaning if it is white, then the colors will pop. If the background is a mid-hue brown, for instance, then particular colors are needed to make them noticeable. The aesthetics of these new jerseys are, imo, primarily driven by the background. In other words, the hue of the blue will (or should) determine the other hues or gradients of the other colors.

Bold #2: The strange thing about "birds of prey" is that the phrase is referring to predatory birds, but "animals of prey" refers to animals that are hunted and eaten by other animals.

The 90s Blue/Red along with purple Kiel seats...it has been awhile since we've been able to escape purple :). Your point about background driving color choices...really hoping we're careful with the yellow, too. By most accounts, this has been in the works for 3 years, so the runway to get this right has been plenty long.

The old jerseys were super barf. The only time I want to see primary colors is in a Mondrian painting.

They've had a long time to get this right. I'm not as concerned with the blue as I am with the yellow. If it gets too orangey, like the WC, then I won't like them as much.
