pjinners Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I was poking around for a picture to post on another topic and stumbled upon this.The website operator said it was supposed to be the jersey the Barons would have worn in 1978-79 if the franchise hadn't been merged with the North Stars. He said it's stored at the Hall of Fame.I've seen a few never-made-it shirts before, like the Nordiques wolf jersey, but I'd never even heard of this one.

Neon_Matrix Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 It is at the hall. It has also been there for a long, long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yeah, that one's folded up in a case at the HHOF. Seeing the entire thing, I'm glad it never came to pass. The entire jersey is far too plain, and the sleeves are virtually empty with the numbers crammed up on the shoulders. It all looks very rec-league. Of course, the Barons could never top their first-year sleeve numbers inside outlines of the state of Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Wow, that is not an good jersey. What they had before was much better. It's kind of odd that it is displayed at the HOF, yet I don't think it has ever been mentioned here before. I've never heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logodawg Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Granted, it's boring as hell, but I sure would take it over most of the crap they came out with this year. I love the facial expression of the guy in the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejeff Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 It was in 1978 people, remember that. It would've fit in fine with these beauts... http://www.nhluniforms.com/1970s/197879.html. Maybe even ahead of its time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neon_Matrix Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 The significance of this jersey is that it was designed by then GM Harry Howell. How do I know this? Well, I just happen to know a lot. Muahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
