Ridleylash 4,078 Posted December 21, 2020 Another reason I think it passes now is just how badly owners are taking a beating because of the pandemic. A LOT of NHL owners have stakes in industries that are getting absolutely obliterated; stuff like casinos, hotels, catering and the like. Getting any kind of additional money is going to be attractive to owners getting battered by the pandemic, no matter how small that is (especially to owners as notoriously miserly as Jacobs). Seattle's fee would help once it's all payed off, but even a small amount more is a small amount more that would be considered valuable. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the manufacturers put the logos/wordmarks there for aesthetics. This is a dumb take. Almost every apparel manufacturer has their logo somewhere on their product. That's not the same thing. EDIT: Also, the NHL has, AFAIK, never had the manufacturer logo on the front of the jersey. It’s always been below the collar on the back or on the hem. Nike puts theirs on the front but Nike jerseys are only widely-seen every four years at the Olympics. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NBA broke the ice and in 10-20 years at this pace we are going to end up with Liga MX soccer jerseys across the big four. It'll be a lot longer before it gets to that point, if it does at all. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nash61 1,804 Posted December 22, 2020 Did this get lost in the helmet-ad kerfuffle, or did I just miss it? Fan-made? Knock-off? Legit? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Square cut, bubbly logos and collar area are dead-giveaways for adidas knock-offs. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost definitely either a crudely-made fan jersey or a knockoff. The Blues already have four jerseys, five if the blue 90's alt comes back for another season, they wouldn't be adding more. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the Winter Classic vs the Wild happens, that would probably be a 6th jersey, which is a lot of jerseys in a short amount of time... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of people collect equipment. I know there are people who go through the effort of collecting the entire uniform a player wore rather than just the game-worn jersey. It's pretty cool to see someone assemble the entire collection and put it on a mannequin. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like they took an old Colorado Hockey Rockies (that is fun to say) and slapped on an alternate Blues logo. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlayGloria 269 Posted December 22, 2020 I know that Blues jersey is a fake, but i always thought that trumpet logo would be a killer crest like that. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
