The Winter Classic Jerseys?

[vangvace 12]

I think those 2009 DRW jerseys are horrible looking. They're so bland, and they're already EXACTLY like the ones we wear only without color on the shoulders. WTF?

The Wings have changed their sweater style that little since 1934. Why complain about consistency?

The candy-canes are stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. If a new team came out looking like that they'd be laughed off the ice. The only reason people like them is because they're old. There's nothing "awesome" about them. They don't "kick ass". They're a full frontal assault on the eyes. They're not even that all that vintage - they were worn for one year.

I hope and expect that the old-style logo will accompany those old-style jerseys for the game. But they're already most of the way to perfection here - just get the logo right. THANK GOD they did not go with the candy-stripes - now we just have to hope Chicago doesn't go with their licorice-stripes and then epilepsy sufferers can watch the game in peace.

psst. Except for the logo, it's the same pattern starting in 1934. Every sweater since has been based on this one.

What? Im saying they wore the candy cane uni in 92 and the blackhawks also wore similar throwbacks that same season,

I wouldn't mind seeing a tribute to the old Red/White striped sweaters with DETROIT across the front.

To quote The Dude: Well, that's, like, your opinion man.

That said, I'd say the best vintage matchup for jerseys would be 1935-36. What's being rumored right now are from 1937-38.

I think it'd be cool if the Red Wings used the Gothic D style jersey as opposed to the Old English D ones. The organization used the candy-cane Detroit one once before; so I'd like to see something different. Though the one at jerseydatebase.com is bit different than the current away jersey, it's not radically different.

Agree 100% with '35-'36. Don't like the idea of '37-'38. The Blackhawks (Black Hawks) had some fiercely awful sweaters that year.

I would love to see either the Gothic D or the large style wheel and wing.

I just bought this shirt a couple weeks ago:

Maybe it's appearance on NHL shop is a sign of things to come?

Those are alright, the candy cane ones are nicer!

Those sweaters where both used together during the the NHL's 75th aniversay season (92) and they looked great. That supposesed new design is downright awful.

There is absolutely no way the Wings will introduce a new jersey for the winter classic. You know it, I know it, we all know it. A retro jersey is very much a possibility, but a new design NO WAY!

if you're going to edit you own posts. Please remember that they are part of the conversation as well. Even if you forget about it.

Get the vintage logo ringer t from icejerseys.com instead. The logo on that black shirt is obscenely sized.
