If these were the real deal, and I assume they were, I really hope there's a change of heart before next year. Please delete this one, sorry guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) I think they're great. I'm not sure about the font. What don't you like about them? Edited February 23, 2013 by Hockeymom1960 1 T.Low reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRW Dominance 255 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I like the back and the font. Not a huge fan of the front with the City and logo together. Don't like the tie up strings around the neck on jerseys either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
achildr1 255 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I think they're great. I'm not sure about the font. What don't you like about them? I like the font. Its something the Wings used for a few years in the late 70's/early 80's, I believe. I thought using the old logo was the way to go and im glad they used that. The striping and lack of similarity of the striping to anything the Wings have ever wore is what gets me. I love the tradition of the Wings and their refusal to make throwaway design jerseys. (See Toronto's silver striping, Boston's bear head jersey, Ney Yorks lady liberty jersey) Montreal, Detroit, and Chicago have really resisted trends over the years and I think it gives the team heritage an extra element. Our last WC jersey, I thought, was a great homage to the teams beginnings (see Detroit Falcons/Cougars), was simple yet elegant, and gave us the Wings version of a 'D" logo. I think this jersey tries to be vintage, but looks too much like somethings ive seen NHL heritage sweaters make. Simplicity is key with original 6/Wings stuff...and theres just too much happening here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I like em. I'd buy one. It's the Winter Classic....they want the jerseys to be throwback style. And I for one love tie up necks. They're more comfortable when you're playing too. looser around the neck restricts your upper body less. 1 FireCaptain reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 They look really cheap. I live vintage looking jerseys, but these look amateurish, even for those. 1 Zetts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 They look really cheap. I live vintage looking jerseys, but these look amateurish, even for those. Maybe they need another colour added to the mix then. Even some subtle black outlines around the white parts. Shouldn't one of the teams wear white though?

Travis 576 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I posted this in the 2014 WC thread but there wasn't a ton of discussion. I'm not a huge fan, myself. The piping and such is okay, but the front feels crowded with so much going on and the name font doesn't fit with the number font whatsoever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 An "homage" to the 1982-83 Red Wings? That thing is disgustingly ugly. Maybe it's purpose is to be sold but not seen in public. If that's the case...chalk up another win for Uncle Gary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetts 236 Report post Posted February 23, 2013 I'd rather the Wings re-sign Cleary to a 5 year contract than see them wear those. Yes, they're that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dats13owns 157 Report post Posted February 24, 2013 If you take Detroit off the front I'm in love with them. With no issue with it saying Detroit, it just looks like there is too much going on with both the text and the logo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
