WestWing 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 Anyone know whether the Wings are trying to re-establish the wearing of the white jerseys at home? We did it vs. Chicago last Friday, then today again vs. Boston... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMICHdave 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 I love it too , I hope they start doing it more often I've seen this quite a bit lately with the home team wearing the whites. And yeah, they need to switch it back, and going to the new jerseys next year is the perfect time to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Offsides 21 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 Next season they're going back to white jerseys at home. Too bad. Though I wouldn't mind if they rotated on a year by year basis...although it might kill my brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey13Playa 240 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah, I am fan of the dark jerseys at home. They look sharp. But does anyone know exactly the reason why we are switching up and wearing white at home? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingNut 25 5 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 There are very few teams, the Wings among them, who look good with their darks at home. Buccigross was saying in his column this week that he's hearing that the league will go back to home whites next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterREDthandead 58 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 Yeah, I am fan of the dark jerseys at home. They look sharp. But does anyone know exactly the reason why we are switching up and wearing white at home? Probably coincidence that we just did it twice in a short time span. Chicago and Boston both wore third jerseys, which is probably why the Wings wore white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all...who cares about those other teams Second, other teams have 3rd color jersies that they'd rather wear at home. I say keep it they way it is. I remember the white at home and it was so tedious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 Well they are the Red Wings so it makes much more sense for the dark to be their home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
royedwards 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 Boston was wearing the third jersey today--hence the home whites. As an earlier poster mentioned, some teams look better in their whites (e.g. Montreal, Toronto), but the Wings are definitely better in Red. Maybe the League should give each team the option of choosing which jersey to wear at home--although that would probably make life miserable for equipment managers.

Flip-check 6 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 They do look better in red. I like the white jersey a lot... but still, the red? It grabs you. Additionally it makes the Wings look 180% more kickass. Besides, in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, who wore a white jersey? Wait, no one? Precisely. It was an old time red Gordie Howe on Cameron's back. It's proof right there. Red wins.

Stu in Israel 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2007 The dark jerseys are the official home jersey, just as in the NFL, and the NCAA. Back (maybe) in the 1970s the Montreal Canadiens petitioned the other five members of the "original six" to change to the "white" jerseys because their road jerseys have three colors and they wanted their fans in Montreal to be able to see those jerseys. This situation persisted for many years until about two or three years ago when the decision was made to go back to dark (home) jerseys and "white" (road) jerseys. That much I know for a fact. As far as what's going-on now, I haven't a clue! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
