ProfessorBigShots Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Can we talk about the Winter Classic logo itself? It is the first logo since 2008, the first Winter Classic, to not have anything relating to the city/state/stadium the game is in. Nothing tells you the logo is for a game in Minnesota other than the word Minnesota. Id have liked something similar to the 2014 MLB all star game logo.

A lake shoveled clean for ice skating feels very Minnesota to me. I heard they have, like, ten thousand of those things. 18 I still don't have a website, but I have a dribbble now! http://dribbble.com/andyharry [The postings on this site are my own and do not necessarily represent the position, strategy or opinions of adidas and/or its brands.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every WC logo has to incorporate local landmarks just to get across the locale, really; Dallas' WC logo didn't, and neither did Boston's the year before then, and both were perfectly serviceable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dallas one was a belt buckle, that's pretty Texas. Though you are right about Boston's the year before. However, that is because the logo was a shamrock since it was held at Notre Dame. Plus the Blackhawks were the designated home team, so it makes sense not having a Boston themed logo (though the shamrock is kind of a symbol of Boston, or at least some Bostonians would claim it as such). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepis21 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 It look like I might be right and it's gonna be their first ever white jersey from 1967. I was feeling that @andrewharringtonliked my post for a reason. Speaking about Winter Classic logo itself, forest and lake are very Minnesotian for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 What are the chances that St. Louis matches Minnesota and use the "Blues" script over the Blue note? Not exactly this, but a new custom font for the throwback theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it might be it too but I think if it's gonna be this one the blue stripe would be made from mesh not from twill. Teaser photo has stripes build in exact same way as Capitals alternate which is very close to 1967 Blues white sweater (I posted it on previous page). Of course I may be wrong, but we'll see at friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddub53 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The jersey is going to be a fauxback to the 1930s. Below is a photo from the STL Authentics Twitter page. The crest will have some sort of twill logo with chain stitching. Based on the other photo, the jersey will most likely be gold based. It might be based on a 1931-32 St. Louis Flyers sweater. 2 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I feel like the Blues could go in a couple different directions here. Based off the striping teaser it looks like the Blues 68’ white (or rather, cream), but my other thought is that this is a yellow sleeved jersey with blue Barberpole stripes similar to the St. Louis Flyers of the 30’s. Someone posted the image of the Flyers sweaters a few pages back, and the one from 31-32 looks like it easily could be the one the Blues are going to base it off of. The other teaser could be the numbers? The logo? My guess is the front crest will have arched letters over the Blues logo. Either way, the teaser shows that it’ll be made of felt, and have chain-stitching, just like the Wild jerseys.

I thought it has been pretty well know that it is a cream version of their original white sweater? It would definitely be more interesting if they did what you are suggesting. It might not be better but it would be more interesting. I really love the powder blue current alts the blues use and have been dreaming of them to make a white version and promote them to full time. Their current set is very classy but stale to me. I have never loved navy as part of their color scheme. It dulls down a team that used to pop, much like Calgary and their inclusion of black. That being said, this blue is definitely more royal than their current alts, so i don't see that as happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFirestormToPurify Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I don't mind cream/off-white/vintage stripes on jerseys but they should never be the main color imo. Cause cream helmets would obviously look awful, like those grimy home appliances that become this disgusting shade of pale yellow after years and years of smoking inside the house so then you're stuck with a dark helmet paired with a light jersey and that's such an unprofessional look. Reminds me of those CHL teams that don't have the budget for a home and away helmet so they just go with a dark helmet. It just looks cheap Both of these jerseys would look much better in normal white with normal white helmets Let's hope the Blues don't make the same mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumours have always been that the Blues will bring back their inaugural white jerseys, and the teasers we've gotten so far match up with that look. The first teaser is clearly a close-up of the hem/sleeve stripe, and the other is a closeup of the logo or maybe the numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it would look odd for the Wild to wear a fauxback dating back to the 1920s-30s and then the Blues wear a jersey design that they actually wore in the late 1960's. If one team is wearing a fauxback, both most likely will. 2 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crests would be the part that clashes the most, but I feel like the blue note sorta has a vintage feel. Has there been a Winter Classic with fauxback vs throwback looks?

Also almost 2016 if only Bruins goes with brown instead of black v Canadiens fauxback. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
