GFB Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'll take that Wings Alumni Game jersey. What a beauty. What a shame the actual jersey is nothing but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Vintage white is terrible most of the time. Particularly on this new Red Wings jersey and the Minnesota third posted earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njdevs7 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Why would they do 2 jerseys for each team. What happens if Detroit plays in another Winter Classic? (I am sure that they will). They don't really have any more jerseys to throwback to. Will they use the throwbacks that they wore 20 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelfourThibault Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I hate anything that has anything to do with the Detroit Red Wings, but I admit that I like the WC jersey. And I think the vintage white looks good. I never understood the love for the set that they're going to wear in the alumni game, which is similar to their last WC set. Every time I see that "D", all I can think about is Donatos pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash61 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 But Minnesota had wheat LOOOONNNGG before this crappy vintage white trend began, but it basically came to be used as vintage white when they introduced their red alt. That jersey also started the roundel and fauxback trend. Minnesota WIld!!!

BKarchitect Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I can nitpick on each jersey but I definitely approve of the overall looks and I think this game is going to be drop-dead gorgeous to watch from an aesthetic perspective. The vibrant blues and reds of two classic franchises on a white sheet of ice in front of over 100,000 at The Big House? Must-see TV. And I loathe both clubs.

habsfan1 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Those block letters look so out of place with that old style font above the crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Yuuuuuuck. Leafs > Wings. It pains me to say that. I'm a sucker for anything with 'Detroit' written on it, but the Wings sweater would be so much nicer without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Quick 'n dirty bleach white. Not sure if I like it.Much better. BUT I hate fauxbacks. The Red Wings wore that number font for 1 year and everybody hated it. The stripes on the sleeves and hem are more modern than anything and the yoke on a team that has never worn a yoke is really out of place. Jersey gets a big NO from me. If they wear tan pants with these then I will throw a temper tantrum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdougfresh Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 My biggest issue with this Wings jersey is that it grows back to nothing. We have a bunch of unique jerseys in our history, and it's just a hodge podge of randomness. It seems inspired by the 1928 Cougars, but the yoke stripes make no sense, and we've never worn those sleeve stripes. If I had to guess, striping was inspired by 1929.Why not just replicate something that has already existed? And leave the vintage white at home, please. We've always worn red and white, nothing else.

BigBubba Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Why not just replicate something that has already existed?Exactly what I was thinking. While I hate fauxbacks of all kinds, I at least understand why newer teams wear them, since they have no real history to throw back to. But when you have an Original Six team with almost 90 years of history, it's terrible stupid to make a pretend-vintage uniform.I wonder if the Leafs will be wearing beige pants (though they could get away with wearing blue) and gloves. At the very least, it would be cool to see the goalies wear brown "leather" equipment: Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I've thought for a while that the Habs should use leather-colored gloves. If anyone ought to, it's them. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the very least, it would be cool to see the goalies wear brown "leather" equipment:When you think about it, the goal is creating something that will sell. It's tougher to sell a throwback that people already own, or one that's already for sale somewhere else, like at Mitchell and Ness or Ebbetts Field. One way to do that is to create something unique that pays homage to the complete history of the team or area. Because the Red Wings' uniform has been so consistent since they became the Red Wings, there's not much differentiation for the average fan in a true throwback.I'm not a huge fan of the mashup concept, but I'm not the average fan, either.

Sodboy13 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Some eBay retailers are selling the new Winter Classic replicas already. They're tagged as a Reebok model 7212 jersey, and are made in Indonesia.RIP, Canadian-made CCM 550 replica jerseys, 1993(?)-2012.

njdevs7 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I hate the fake throwback jerseys. I don't get the point for an old franchise. If Minnesota was in a Winter Classic, they could do a fauxback because they have no other choice. But it makes no sense for Detroit, New York, Philly, or any other WC team so far.TDetroit could have worn these.Or slapped a Red Wing logo on theseThe Flyers could have worn these (change the script to Flyers)The Rangers could have worn theseand so on.....
