Confirmed with Link: Columbus to host Detroit on 03/01/25 at Ohio Stadium in NHL Stadium Series Game

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I'm seeing the Devils rolling with their Sopranos sweatsuits and the Flyers showing up dressed like Rocky and I feel like the CBJ have 2 options to show up next year.

1. The obvious OSU football uniform that everyone expects and will make me want to cringe.
2. The team arrives dressed like Christoper Columbus.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

If they’re already out of the playoff race they could show up dressed as Jack Nicklaus.

I personally think the OSU/Michigan idea is awesome, but I’m a hard core Buckeye. And I get that they want it to be their own thing rather than being OSU’s “little brother” sort of thing.

Idk. A scarlet and grey jersey would be pretty sick. It’s a gimmick, yes, but they’re only going to wear them once so might as well be gimmicky.

I think they should all dress like Woody a la the Dead Schembelchers….

That's true for just about any day of the week.

Seeing that Philly and Jersey players entered the stadium dressed in garb of characters from that city (Rocky and The Sopranos), I look forward to the guys rolling up in Columbus Zoo or Jack Hanna uniforms next season.

How about Victoria's Secret models?

Do we really wanna see Elvis in a garter belt……???

The Jack Hanna thing could be fun. Have some of them carry in zoo animals like he used to on the late night shows. Plus, you know, the zoo memes.

Is it reasonable to ask the UM guys to wear what would amount to an OSU knock-off?

It’s uncomfortable, sure. I know I would hate wearing maze and blue.

But in the end it’s a spectacle. They’re there to win a hockey game. If I was in their shoes but had to wear Michigan shit, I would just wear my OSU stuff underneath or something like that.

But it really doesn’t matter. It’s already reported neither team had any interest in the OSU/Michigan theme. Which I understand.

They already did it with the first reverse retro jerseys.

How much does anyone want to bet intermission entertainment is one of O.A.R., Twenty One Pilots, or CAAMP?

It's officially official, Bettman just announced it during the Stadium Series game now.

Stoked, can't wait to go to our game!

The charismatic Bettman just announced it on tv with Emily Kaplan

This is why they won't trade Boone. They already used him in the promo for the game. He's kind of stuck here now.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

This is a valid point.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I just hope they can make enough merchandise. I really want one of those NJ Devils Stadium Series jerseys but they apparently didn't make enough because they are impossible to get while the other 3 teams have plenty available.

Those sweaters are fire….

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

Yeah, they restocked a few. my size isn't there so I must have missed out but they are quoting June delivery on the ones they are selling right now. it's ridiculous. I was hoping to order a customized Luke Hughes version when they went on sale didn't happen. I was in a work meeting when they went on sale and they were picked over on the NHL shop an hour later.

They are stuck with Boone because Jarmo wasn’t available

Vomit. No thanks. Why can't they go with Chill inspired retro gear?

21 Pilots would probably be the betting favorite..

Exactly. There. Problem solved...and by Hedger of all people.

Probably because NJ's was the best of the bunch. Isles got the worst of it IMO, though the Flyers jersey isn't far behind.

I think they could do a small Chill nod but the grand majority of the hockey world has no clue who the Columbus Chill was.

It could be interesting if they found a way to incorporate all of the previous Columbus pro teams but that is a lot to ask.

Anything you like about these unis?

Loved those jerseys, especially the red away jerseys. The Cleveland Crusaders also had great jerseys.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

21 Pilots would be OK I guess but they really should have the most iconic bad ever to play Ohio Stadium, The Ohio State University Marching Band.
