The_Admiral Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 My first thought was that I hated it. Then, after I thought about it for a second, I realized it doesn't have anything to do with "Minnesota Wild," so now I think it's great. It kind of looks like an Upper Midwestern version of a Hollister shirt, though, doesn't it? 6 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCreep Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 It's the upper chest stripe that really kills what is an otherwise fine jersey. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I think it's a fine enough jersey and I'm not getting a lot of the extreme distaste the jersey is getting online, it's fine. I don't like the floating chest stripe though, especially paired with a shoulder yoke. Either remove the chest stripe or move the stripe to be a part of/ be the the shoulder yoke, similar to Chicago's black and white ones from the Notre Dame outdoor game. That would also fix the little baby captain's C issue from the Spurgeon pics. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) They really went wild with the fauxback theme. An M crest might have looked better but I do like the overall look. Except for the elbow plasters. Edited September 4, 2021 by wildwing64 PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosioux76 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I see they’re pairing this with tan breezers. I don’t mind it, as far as olde-tyme hockey cosplay goes. Maybe they can require the crowd to show up in suits and overcoats and introduce all the players with their favorite ragtime tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 You joke, but going all-organ for the night would be terrific. It's not hockey without organ music. 9 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I absolutely love it!! Even the upper chest stripe. That’s directly from the St. Paul Saints in the 30’s. I also love that they included both of the Twin Cities on the jersey. I was just at the unveiling at the Minnesota State Fair, and one of the guys I talked too said they had just an “M” in the early stages, but decided to honor both cities. Part of that came from the Minnie and Paul Twins logo. I think they nailed the whole look. The only weird part is the elbow patches, but even then, that’s a fun quirk. I am very excited to see these in action now! The other really cool part is that all of the lettering and logos are made of felt, not tackle twill, which is just a great touch. 9 "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

nash61 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 My first thought was "these are hideous" And then I realized that "hideous" was the aesthetic back then.

M4One Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 The only thing I really don't like are the elbow patches. Why ruin a pretty decent looking jersey with those goofy looking things. Would have preferred an actual logo, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is straight from Twin Cities history books… Yeah the jersey’s whole layout is basically the top jersey, minus the yellow/cream stripes. I think those extra chest stripes are really what makes the sweater too. 1 "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."
