tigerslionspistonshabs Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The next to get a Outdoor game should be Colorado or Minnesota. These two states are more linked to hockey than California.St. Louis, San Jose and Colorado have to be next as far as seniority goes. I'm thinking St. Louis gets the Classic in 2016; the Sharks and Avalanche (Coors) will have the Stadium Series either next year or 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The Lightning will find a way to ruin the new third. I have no hope it will be any decent.Probably a black version of the home . But seriously a throwback to the cup jersey would be awesome. Never should have changed that look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never should have changed that lookIt needed some tweaking, I mean with the grade-2-scribble logo. At least they've gotten with the times and gone with a clip art logo. That template was perfect though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think seniority has something to do i mean, Montreal is 105 years old and never had a outdoor game held in Montreal, neither did Toronto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously a throwback to the cup jersey would be awesome. Never should have changed that lookBut the logo reeked of all things 90s. Unmatching decorative fonts that are not super clear for legibility, a 3D lightning bolt on a 2D image, 4 colors...I'm not dismissing this logo or your opinion. But I think the logo should at least be tweaked, so that it can reach 2014 standards for a logo. I'd be willing to give it a chance to be revived, if an oppurtunity ever presented itself.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just thinking out loud about these outdoor games,Blues at Busch Stadium would be nice. I'm sure it'll happen eventually once STL is done with all their renovations outside of Busch.That being said, seems like the baseball stadium shtick is becoming overdone. For example, I know if they ever get one they'd probably play at Coors Field, but personally I'd like to see the Avalanche play here:Same with the Wild at the Minnesota Gophers stadium rather than Target Field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I went to the Gophers' outdoor game last month at TCF; the rink set up pretty well there. (But day-umn it was cold.)

ultramark3000 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 couldnt the habs play in Percival Stadium, i know the cap. isnt like the big house, but you could probably sell "floor seats" to add something different.Blues will probably not ever host a winter classic, but may visit to one in Minnie or Colorado.I also thought I heard something about more "neutral site" games, maybe San Jose vs Vancouver in Seattle, or Minnesota vs chicago in Milwaukee and that sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would put you at barely 26'000 people. I think the league wants a bit more than that to necessitate and outdoor game.I suppose they could put temporary/permanent seating on the North end of the stadium, but that's not the best conditions for an NHL outdoor winter game.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yea it would still be very very small by the standards. Or they could have a couple of games. Vs. Leafs and Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I spoke a guy at a local store tonight in Springfield, IL. This store is probably the biggest jersey seller in town. I asked him about new Blues jerseys next year. He said he hadn't heard anything, but maybe the owner has. However, he did say that they have tried to order merchandise with the alternate jersey logo and have only been able to get one or two different t-shirts with the logo. He said the new Blues owner hates the alternate jersey logo and basically only allows it to be put on the alternate jerseys. So maybe the alternate jersey is getting a new logo or the current alternate jersey is being scrapped completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think he'd discontinue or roll out something else if he wasn't a fan of it. Personally, I think it's a nice alternate logo, although I'd be more open to it being on a lighter shade of blue as opposed to the darker navy.

If they're just dropping it...meh. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
