I was about to make this comment myself. I was not aware of the 30s St. Louis franchise and it is nice for them to pay homage to them. I really love the Chicago jersey has it touches base with the history, city of Chicago, and the Cubs.
St Louis with text only kind of makes sense due to the vintageness of the NHL back then that a few teams had text on dront of their sweaters back then I think the Blues might honor a bit to the St. Louis Eagles The city's 1st NHL team And its the St. Pats that has the tiny uppercase T in the 2 jerseys
The Blackhawks have recently been leaning extra, EXTRA heavily into the Chicago city flag theme (the four six-point stars), first with CHSN, now with this jersey's logo. Honestly, I love it even more for that. Embrace heritage.
As a Blues fan I totally agree, this is a fail. I bought the last two blues winter classic jerseys day one, I’m going to pass on this one. And as far as I can tell from blues fan social media the fans are disappointed as well.
The Blues have a long history of great jerseys which is why this feels like such a big disappointment to me. They’re so boring and I don’t like the word mark at all. I was really hoping for a white version of the Reebok era arch logo alternates. I’ve seen some awesome concepts online and that would’ve really outdone whatever this is.
But during in vintage time of the NHL not alot of teams actually wore their logos in the jerseys but a few were text logos. For example New York/Brooklyn Americans Philadelphia Quakers California Seals Washington Capitals New York Rangers Quebec Bulldogs Toronto St. Pats
as I saw someone else say, if you replaced the St. Louis workmark with the alternate "Arch" logo from the Reebok years, then BOTH jerseys would have chest stripes, circular logos, with text and stars in the middle, thus making the jerseys look more like a matched pair.
I actually think both jerseys and uniforms look nice, even though the Blues' kit looks a little like the Charlestown Chiefs. There's also some similarities with the Fife Flyers, only without the tartan.
Hi Neil, Great segment on this subject. Here are my ratings on these winter classic jerseys St.Louis 5/10. ( Logo would have made a huge difference instead of the Wording. The rest of the jersey looks good.) Chicago 9/10. ( this time they nailed it!) 2 points I 'd like to make. First off did you notice that the winter classic patch does not have the year . What's that about. ? That for me is a miss. Who will remember the year of this winter classic later on! Second point is regarding the stripes going down on the blackhawks number. That symbolizes the pinstripes of the Chicago cubs uniforms which of course represents Wrigley field where the Winter Classic is taking place. Love that idea. Keep it up Neil. Always enjoyed your show.
The blues just had an off-white last winter classic so it doesn’t really make sense that they went with it again. Kind of redundant. I would’ve loved to see them have a pearl white jersey instead, the one Gretzky wore
Chicago 10/10, St. Louis 8/10 only because I wish the blues were allowed to do a blue jersey. I would like to have seen two dark jerseys, but what’s a winter classic match up without at least one of the teams having that oat meal (cream) colored jersey. I love & bought both of them. The St. Louis Blues jersey is a nod to the St. Louis Flyers. I’m not saying when people realize that that they’ll come around to the jersey and like it, but it makes a lot of sense when you see the St. Louis Flyers it’s basically the same thing . I think the flyers had different colors though. It has a classic look to it, which is the point of the winter classic jerseys.
Chicago jersey will be bought straight away, will wait for the Blues team store to have a sale (like the Penguins did) and pick one up for $50!! Chicago gets a 9 and St Louis gets a 5.
I bought The Blackhawks Jersey and I Need To Find The Matching Vintage " Captain C " Any Idea Where I Can Buy One For My Jersey ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers 🍁🏒🥅😎👍🌴☀️🎄🎅
I order my Bedard WC(winter classic) jersey. Should have it at the end of the week or next week if everything goes well. UPDATE: one of the most conformtable jersey in my small collection of most of them atlantic divison😂
Not a fan but will buy it since I bought the last two Winter Classic jerseys. Once I saw a pic of an old St. Louis Flyers jersey, I get the attempt to make a gesture to that time but not having the Blue Note on the front is a big miss.
Completely agree with both jerseys. The Hawks jersey is one of their best, very well thought through. Also like the bold sports font in the logo. The Blues' is a real disappointment and looks completely effortless.
Chicago might honestly be a 10/10.. I'll give it a 9 but I don't know what else they could have done. The head is small enough where it's a little tough to see the detail, that's about it. St. Louis started off as a 3/10, but when I saw that there was a team in the 30's that wore that, I dunno.. 5 or 6?
Until recently, I never met a St. Louis jersey I didn't like. I wasn't the most fond of Reverse Retro 2.0, and I like this one even less! I do like the number set on it, but that's about it. As for Chicago, I can't say enough good things about it. One of their best ones yet!
It's actually qiute common to use smaller/lower case t in "St.". So I whole heartedly disagree with the Blues jersey. I think they're both perfectly respectable and quite pretty imo.
It was based on a 1966 prototype that never came into existence just like the Retro 2.0. I like the jersey it is a miss but it's from the Blues so I like it. BlackHawks 8/10 Blues 5/10
The Blues jersey was not well received by our fans, It was a "concept: that never was made, A small blue note on the front would have helped. It's okay as long as they win the game..
I would give St. Louis a 5/10 simply because of the logo, it's a giant miss. I would give Chicago a 10/10, it is such a clean jersey. I'm definitely gonna buy it
I absolutely LOATHE word logos on jerseys (Caps, Rangers, Jets, CHI RR, DET RR, Jersey) And its such a shame b/c this Jersey is SOOOOO good...except for the logo. Brings it straight to the dumpster. Now the CHI jersey is freaking sick!!!
I’m glad both teams are shite… maybe they will start taking winter classic matchups serious again. Definitely premature to go all in on Bedard they way the have. Might as well thrown Zegras in as well
OK Neil late Fri afternoon I saw this. Chicago 🔥🔥love it but blues 👎💩why I say that is because the most clearly connections on these jersey needs to stand and this time blues looks dull. Like if I'm working to a company in a construction zone
I love both jerseys, honestly.
I’m starting to like the Blues jersey. That off white is great!
I prefer their last winter classic jersey more
I think the Blues jersey is stunning - simple with a sense of retro.
Blues are paying tribute to the 1930 St Louis Flyers and the pinstrip in the Blackhawks are a tribute to the Cubs
I was about to make this comment myself. I was not aware of the 30s St. Louis franchise and it is nice for them to pay homage to them. I really love the Chicago jersey has it touches base with the history, city of Chicago, and the Cubs.
@@chad6402 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Louis_Flyers
Not just the Cubbies, but the White Sox as well. They use pinstripes on their homes.
@@AJEDDY97 they are playing at Wrigley so it for the Cubs
@mikekoloski oh, don't get me wrong, I know it's at Wrigley, I just think it's cool that it's with both Chicago teams.
Pinstripes on Chicagos rear numbers nod to Wrigley Field and Cubs
10/10 for the hawks. Grabbed one at the game last night and in person it is even better than the pictures, the colors and textures make it so great
St Louis with text only kind of makes sense due to the vintageness of the NHL back then that a few teams had text on dront of their sweaters back then
I think the Blues might honor a bit to the St. Louis Eagles
The city's 1st NHL team
And its the St. Pats that has the tiny uppercase T in the 2 jerseys
It’s just gonna get hard to get used to it’s a different look for sure
The Blues jersey is amazing in my opinion
I’m truly glad someone likes it. It’s the first Blues jersey I’ve ever thought is just flat ugly.
Yeah i’m with you. When people realize it’s a nod to the St. Louis Flyers they may come around to it.
Chicago does the Winter Classic so often, that their Winter Classic jerseys are their de facto Alternate jerseys.
The Blackhawks have recently been leaning extra, EXTRA heavily into the Chicago city flag theme (the four six-point stars), first with CHSN, now with this jersey's logo. Honestly, I love it even more for that. Embrace heritage.
As a Blues fan I totally agree, this is a fail. I bought the last two blues winter classic jerseys day one, I’m going to pass on this one. And as far as I can tell from blues fan social media the fans are disappointed as well.
I ended up getting both. I just recently started collecting jerseys, and I’m liking the idea of collecting the most unpopular jerseys for each team.
The Blues have a long history of great jerseys which is why this feels like such a big disappointment to me. They’re so boring and I don’t like the word mark at all. I was really hoping for a white version of the Reebok era arch logo alternates. I’ve seen some awesome concepts online and that would’ve really outdone whatever this is.
But during in vintage time of the NHL not alot of teams actually wore their logos in the jerseys but a few were text logos. For example
New York/Brooklyn Americans
Philadelphia Quakers
California Seals
Washington Capitals
New York Rangers
Quebec Bulldogs
Toronto St. Pats
Plus I think the Blues are sort of honoring the St Louis Eagles
The city's 1st NHL Team
Couldn’t agree more
It's funny cause I'm not a huge fan of the normal Blues jerseys but I really like this winter classic one
The Saint Loius Logo looks like New Orleans street sign.
as I saw someone else say, if you replaced the St. Louis workmark with the alternate "Arch" logo from the Reebok years, then BOTH jerseys would have chest stripes, circular logos, with text and stars in the middle, thus making the jerseys look more like a matched pair.
Chicago Blackhawks:
9/10
St Louis Blues:
5/10

Chicago 8/10 , St Louis 5/10 . Agree the logo on St Louis is a miss.
Hi Neil,
Great segment on this subject.
Here are my ratings on these winter classic jerseys
St.Louis 5/10. ( Logo would have made a huge difference instead of the Wording. The rest of the jersey looks good.)
Chicago 9/10. ( this time they nailed it!)
2 points I 'd like to make.
First off did you notice that the winter classic patch does not have the year . What's that about. ?
That for me is a miss.
Who will remember the year of this winter classic later on!
Second point is regarding the stripes going down on the blackhawks number.
That symbolizes the pinstripes of the Chicago cubs uniforms which of course represents Wrigley field where the Winter Classic is taking place. Love that idea.
Keep it up Neil. Always enjoyed your show.
The St. Louis jersey looks like it could be a Boston city colours jersey. similar to the MLB Red Sox jersey of the same colours.
The blues just had an off-white last winter classic so it doesn’t really make sense that they went with it again. Kind of redundant. I would’ve loved to see them have a pearl white jersey instead, the one Gretzky wore
I pretty much agree with you here. This Chicago Jersey gets an 8/10 from me, and the St. Luis Jersey gets a 4/10.
Hi Neil love the Chicago one I would say 9 out of 10 and St Louis i would give a 6 out of 10
AWSOME JERESY YOU GOT ON
Look up the St Louis Flyers and you will find where the inspiration came from for these jerseys.
The blackhawks jersey has the new fanatics style with the curved shoulders like the practice jerseyswhen the blues have the old Addias style
Chicago 10/10, St. Louis 8/10 only because I wish the blues were allowed to do a blue jersey. I would like to have seen two dark jerseys, but what’s a winter classic match up without at least one of the teams having that oat meal (cream) colored jersey.

Don't love the Blues sweater. It's a throwback to the St Louis flyers in the 1930s. So I respect the history but definitely not my favorite look
I like Shicago one the best
But I like the Blues one as well not sure why?
I rate the Blackhawks a 10
And the Blues 7
Hawks:9.2
Blues:4.6
Hawks jersey is a win if the blues had the blue note on the front it would be way better
The blues are paying respects to St. Louis flyers
BLACKHAWKS looks 10 times better ..GREAT Video..Thank you Will rate CHIC -9 / ST.L - 7
i like em honestly
Until recently, I never met a St. Louis jersey I didn't like. I wasn't the most fond of Reverse Retro 2.0, and I like this one even less! I do like the number set on it, but that's about it. As for Chicago, I can't say enough good things about it. One of their best ones yet!

BlackHawks 8/10
Blues 5/10
the blackhawks tarp is basically a 10 while the blues one is the closest you can get to a 0. Crazy discrepancy between these two
St Louis looks like the spitting chiclets ball hockey jersey
The Blues jersey was not well received by our fans, It was a "concept: that never was made, A small blue note on the front would have helped. It's okay as long as they win the game..
I would give St. Louis a 5/10 simply because of the logo, it's a giant miss. I would give Chicago a 10/10, it is such a clean jersey. I'm definitely gonna buy it
Outdoor games are the worst.
Everyone sits so far from the eyes they need a telescope to see the puck.
St. Louis looks like a generic college varsity team jersey
What? I’m on the total opposite… Chicago dropped the same jersey 17 times and St. Louis is clean and simple a good Choice for an older look
Would the off white been better than white?
As a blues fan I think this is a miss only because of the logo. The rest of the jersey is perfect
I absolutely LOATHE word logos on jerseys (Caps, Rangers, Jets, CHI RR, DET RR, Jersey)
And its such a shame b/c this Jersey is SOOOOO good...except for the logo. Brings it straight to the dumpster.
Now the CHI jersey is freaking sick!!!
I’m glad both teams are shite… maybe they will start taking winter classic matchups serious again. Definitely premature to go all in on Bedard they way the have. Might as well thrown Zegras in as well
OK Neil late Fri afternoon I saw this. Chicago 🔥🔥love it but blues 👎💩why I say that is because the most clearly connections on these jersey needs to stand and this time blues looks dull. Like if I'm working to a company in a construction zone
I hate that they dont wrap that band all the way around. Florida also does that. Looks like an incomplete jersey.
Yes!
I’d be worried that the numbers wouldn’t pop as much. Would have to see it though, I typically like the wrap around
I hate both. Chicago doing the same thing every single time is so boring.
