Fanatics and NHL Unveil Uniforms for Discover NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field | St. Louis Blues

Blues and Blackhawks uniforms to honor rich hockey legacy of both cities

They are. Ok? Kinda lackluster compared to the last 2. Surprised no big Blue Note.

Edit: looks like they are honoring the 1930s St. Louis Flyers from the AHA

Eh If they got the typography right, a variation of just StL would have been cool imo. Especially since the game is at Wrigley again.

 

[The Electrician]

That jersey is friggin' terrible.

 

[The Note]

Big time “you forgot you had an assignment due at midnight” energy.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Yeah, definitely number 3 out of the 3 WC jerseys

 

[BlueDream]

These aren’t gonna be popular but tbh I don’t mind them.

They’re not ugly, they’re just simple. And that’s not always a bad thing. I think they at least look pretty clean.

If dislike to like on Sports Jerseys was rated on a -10 (hate) to 10 scale (love), my opinion of any jersey in history would fall between a -.01 and .01. Are they different colors so you can tell the teams apart? Perfect. Moving on.

"You said, 'make a jersey, there needs to be a jersey for this game.' Ok, we made a jersey. Fine. Put it on."

 

[Linkens Mastery]

So. It looks like the jerseys were made to honor the 1930s St. Louis Flyers who were the first St. Louis hockey team. Makes it a little less terrible.

 

[Bluesnatic27]

I’d really like it if it had a Blue note. I’ve never enjoyed jerseys that don’t have a crest. But still, I like the design and would only make a few tweaks.

 

[TheDizee]

meh to the jerseys but kinda fitting since this years winter classic is going to have 2 of the worst teams in the nhl playing in it

 

[Drubilly]

Whoa! Now you’re gonna tell me the players will take this stance when square off!

This makes it a little better.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

This makes it a little better.

I'm not a fan of them, but it does add some context and it feels a little less thrown together at the last second since there is a direct connection with a hockey jersey in the history of St. Louis.

 

[PocketNines]

I mean they say "St. Louis"

is the team not from "St. Louis" ?

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Bad

 

[PeoriaBlues309]

Well, at least they’re saving me $250

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

One day we’ll get this beauty

 

[ChicagoBlues]

ugly

 

[joe galiba]

They are alright, definitely has a old 40's/50's vibe, certainly not hideous, like some of the jerseys around the NHL the last few years

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Was hoping you guys would be blue to give a good color contrast on the tube.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Yeah, the inverse of these (blue with the white stripe) would've been cooler IMO

 

[Brian39]

I was hoping for an embrace of the mid-1980s jerseys, but I get that the NHL generally isn't going for an 80s vibe in the Winter Classic.

These don't wow me, but I prefer these over just tweaking one of the last two Winter Classic jerseys with a slightly different looking Blue note and calling it a day. My biggest complaint is that if we were going to this simplistic, I'd have liked to at least go with blue jerseys instead of white/cream.

Agreed.

I never much cared for the past Blues WC jerseys in general, but just switching the blue to a cream color was magnitudes lazier than this. At least someone had a thought on this jersey.

Guess I am in the minority here but I actually like them. Probably my least favorite of the 3 WC jerseys but I still might get one, better than the yellow or red jerseys they have released recently. Maybe I am just an old now and have shitty taste though.
