Wild Stadium Series & Alumni Games Discussion Thread

Pretty decent.

Not great, but certainly not terrible. Better than some of the outdoor jerseys other teams have produced in the past!

 

[Hall of Faber]

Red looks outta place on socks and sleeves. Would look good with the greens and white stripes in only wheat.

 

[Lapa]

I like them.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I do like the "M" on the pants

 

[Engebretson]

They seem kind of boring to me at first glance. Maybe I'll need to let it digest before I really form an opinion.

I like the "M" on the breezers though...

So, do You think it's legit?

So I guess this was really a leak of what the stadium series jersey was going to be...

I don't hate them, I acknowledge they could be worse but I definitely think they are lacking. I'm not saying I like the asymmetrical collar the Blackhawks have but I can respect they tried to incorporate something new for the city. Little touches to make it unique. I feel like ours is just really bland & muted and something about the cream/wheat on top just doesn't look right to me...

Verdict. Could be worse but not impressed.. Not gonna buy...

I really hope they're just saving the best design for whenever we actually get the real outdoor game (winter classic)

I like them enough to buy one. The darker green on the Wild's home page looks way better than that Vanek jersey posted above.

now i'm just debating whether to get Scandella, Zucker, or Koivu. Always wanted one with the 'C' on it. Perhaps I will have a custom name and letter added.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Not sure I care for the stripes on the sleeves too much but not bad otherwise. Now just tweak them to look more like a home version of our away jersey and replace it with our current awful home jerseys and we'll have the best set in the league.

The issue for me is....what if that person doesn't play in the game? :S

 

[Minnesota]

A resounding "meh" across the board. Nice work, NHL.

At least it's not like Detroit's!

Seriously it's sad that at this point the best we were hoping for was a not horrible jersey, Stadium Series Jerseys are such a mess.

 

[Minnesota]

Well, we've definitively won the 'Jersey Game' - Hopefully we can win the actual game on 2/21.

 

[00xtremeninja]

if those were made of Ultrafil, oh man, I'd buy 20

 

[Laredo]

Say what you will but I went from 6 to midnight on that unveiling. I think they look freaking awesome. I've been wanting a green jersey with the original crest on the front.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

Buying one for sure since I'm attending the game. Only question is which player to get, or get a blank one. I already own a parise home and suter away

 

[AJ Thelen]

Looks like a one of those retro hoodies without the hood. Plain and ok, wont buy it..

Why couldnt they just take the north stars design with a Wild logo(also in NS colors) ?

Alumni maybe...

 

[Sharppi]

Those jerseys look ****ing awesome and I want to buy one. Koivu one please.

 

[se7en]

I know it's all just a matter of personal opinion but I don't see the appeal... I feel like no thought went into them what-so-ever... They're so plain, which granted is better than doing too much but still. It's the first time ever for us to play outside. Even tho it's not the winter classic it's still unique.. I was really hoping they would add some subtle, but yet unique & creative touches to make it look like at least some thought went into it..

I mentioned it above, but even tho I don't care for the asymmetrical collar on the Blackhawks jersey I love that they at least tried a new touch by incorporating the Chicago flag into it to make it unique. Or like how on the predators jerseys they added the 6 guitar strings on the numbers & the piano keys in the collar.. I just feel like they could have at least tried to do some small, subtle touches even if it's just inside the collar or some special touch to show some thought went into it... Just throwing the state of hockey patch on the shoulder is so lazy... It's nice to finally see the patch used but still.. It looks like a Chinese knock-off.. I just find the lack of thought that went into commemorating our first ever outdoor game disappointing. I feel like the Wild just thought "hey this is good enough to get a bunch of people to spend their money on it & we only had to spend 20 minutes on designing it"

All just my humble opinion of course but I just think it's disappointing..

 

[Victorious Secret]

Meh. Initial reaction is poor. Hopefully it'll grow on me.

 

[Minnewildsota]

Meh. Initial reaction is poor. Hopefully it'll grow on me.

That's what she said.

I like them. I'll be buying one.

 

[StealthClobber]

Can someone explain to me and Michael Russo what is different about those from the concept? When the leak first came out, someone asked Russo if it was legit and he replied with "close but not exact".

Looks pretty ****in exact to me Russo.

Regardless, they're better than almost every other SS jersey released so far, so I can't complain.

 

[Hall of Faber]

"Close but not exact" should of told us it was real.

He can't say it's real.

On the actual one; Wild logo is larger, spacing on the numbers on the shoulder is different, looks like the wheat on the shoulders goes further across/starts to go down the arm, stadium series patch on right shoulder, "C" further from the midline. Typical errors in knockoffs.

 

[Wild11MN]

I like it. It does seem pretty plain, but you look at the other non-plain SS jerseys and most people hate them. I was going to buy a white Zucker jersey in the near future. Now I have to decide between that or one of these.
