Chewbacca Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm very surprised to see people here not loving Chicago's reverse retro. I think it is a very nice uniform and I think it would be a decent third jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the hem striping is kinda antithetical to the whole point of the Reverse Retro idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could work for any of the red/black teams, nothing about it says Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some point of making new throwbacks, you reach the designs that aren't super-iconic. And like, making a black version of their white jersey A.) has already been done and B.) wouldn't fit the Reverse Retro criteria. They were gonna have to dig deep eventually.

spartacat_12 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I was kind of hoping Chicago would've gone with the football style front numbers instead of the traditional crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you sell jerseys that are blank/not-customized? Pretty sure that's the reason why they went with the logo on the front. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm aware that based on logistics it makes more sense to have a logo on the front, but it would just be something a little more unique for a team that has had 10 different jerseys in a little over a decade. USA Hockey had Buffalo Bills themed jerseys for the World Juniors. I'm not sure if they sold any that were blank. Even though it looks awful, the CFL sells blank jerseys: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
