The Inaugural Jersey Discussion Thread

[Engebretson]

Nothing about that teaser that I really hate, so I'm good so far.

Looking at some of the other teasers, the Wild has probably the most drastic style change. Should be interesting to see the whole thing.

 

[Minnesota]

Interesting place to put a line. Maybe it's just a mockup of all the elements together?

 

[BigT2002]

Stadium series colors along with the manbearpig back on the front. I like it.

 

[Marlowe Syn]

I'm on-board with the teaser. Manbearpig front & center. No more crests or script. Just show the logo. Curious if the jerseys will have a secondary logo. Primary color swap is back to green as it always should have been. Christmas is dead.

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

Looks promising.....

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

As for the rest of the league.... it's kind of odd that the Wild may end up having the best re-design. From the swatches available, it looks like a lot of teams that could've/should've used this opportunity to re-do their sweaters just totally dropped the ball. Ottawa springs to mind, and the Sabres sticking with the darker blue is puzzling. Colorado not switching logos as speculated, NJ and Calgary foregoing the suggested retro movement, and so on.

But at least the Wild should look cool

I don't get the 'NY style' secretive runway collection drama. Just show us the damn jersey, this is pro sports, not Versace'.

All 'bout those Twitter views, brotha!


....but I agree with you

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

Rest assured, the minds in charge of this are marketing folks. They know how to milk this kind of stuff for all it's worth. I'm sure there's some sort of formula somewhere for maximum anticipation + teasers = insane amount of sales.

Of course, if this mini-reveal proves anything, it's that the "marketing folks" and "design folks" are not the same people

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Social media wasn't created for curmudgeons like me I guess.

 

[Eye Floater]

New teaser.

 

[Bazeek]

New teaser.

Looks like the same lettering they've used on the green thirds. Looks fine so far.

Yup I would agree with you completely.

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

Only *slight* gripe is that I liked the cream color on the shoulders of the Stadium Series jersey, and was hoping that'd carry over to this one, but I guess they just moved it to the midsection as a stripe.

I like it better this way. I'm a big fan of the current greens. I think they'd be perfect without the shoulder piping and if they changed the script logo to the main logo. And I'm all aboard the wheat-away-jersey train. My dream jerseys would look something like these:

(Obviously, change the red to green for away jerseys)

CLOSE, but not quite the same...

Look at the W in the Wild teaser and compare it to the W on a Wild Authentic Green Stewart Jersey...

It doesn't match the Stadium Series W either...

It best matches the lettering style on the road white sweaters...

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

The 7 and the W look really odd on the first two pics.

Hadn't thought to compare the W. I was mostly comparing the top of the D to the P on a Parise nameplate. I do see subtle differences either way, but it's close.

I also get the feeling from the various previews that jerseys league-wide are going to be a little more minimalist...but I guess it's hard to say from what little we've been shown.

Yeah, the rest of the nameplate is pretty much the same, but there is very little variety in the overall letters between all 3 of last seasons sweaters. This just brings in the entire alphabet tighter in type-set.

 

[Bazeek]

All these Stewart jerseys and it's just starting to hit me how weird that W with the pointy middle looks

Meh... looks fine to me.

Yeah, fair enough. And agree that the "wheat" color for aways would be beautiful.

 

[Refuse]

it will apparently look like this

 

[TaLoN]

Where'd you hear that?
