So extremely CBJ-y to feature the colors of the opponent in the ONE chance we have for an outdoor game. The stands will be filled with Wings-looking gear. It is oddly reminiscent of the pens fan/zamboni ride. Ugh.

I have to say I have never seen a sprting event shirt with the venue address on it. Probably good for out of towners to buy early so they have the address for gps.

Looks like a shirt made to pander to fans of that football team in town and completely overshadow the 2 teams involved in playing the game.

To be fair, that probably is the goal.

As far as the color scheme goes... has Detroit released any merch? Are they going maize & blue? Only way it makes sense, which points directly to the "HEY FOOTBALL FANS, LOOK OVER HERE" point you made.

Is Detroit even promoting it since they aren't hosting it?

They didn’t have anything on their team shop. I don’t usually pay much attention to the outdoor games admittedly.

Just feels hard to believe they’d want it to look like a Detroit home game, Buckeye colors aside.

My take is that it is supposed to pay homage to the Shoe but someone forgot it is about a hockey game and the Jackets.Guess GMDW hasn't gotten around to marketing.

I think it's very clear they want it to look like an OSU v Michigan home game, Red Wings colors aside.

If we are lucky, they will primarily feature the silver instead of red.

Fans were asking for an outdoor game for ages, and now that it's finally happening, there's talk about things like the colors. At the end of the day, it’s all about the experience—enjoying the game outside, the unique atmosphere, and a fresh setting. Let’s focus on the excitement of the outdoor game and make the most of it!

As long as it feels like an outdoor hockey game and not an OSU football game.
