The Columbus Blue Jackets teased the new reverse retro jerseys yesterday, and they are unlike anything the team has worn in previous years.
RED.
That’s right, the Blue Jackets will be wearing red jerseys at least once next season, and to that I say: about the time.
That’s right, it’s high time this team did something creative and interesting with their jerseys. Step aside, bland and boring third jerseys, there’s a new king on the block.
What could these new jerseys look like? On reddit, u / Chorridus made a mockup of what we might see.
Hey, you want to watch this! Something that could be unique of this franchise! Rather than trotting another blue jersey with a generic circular logo that someone could have crafted with Microsoft Word in 2002, the Blue Jackets will dress up in red with a return to one of the more unique (and certainly climaxing) logos. of the late 1990s) which the NHL has seen in recent years.
Three reasons why this jersey could be superior to the current thirds:
The logo
The logo, a slight twist on the initial logo on the front of the jerseys, is as retro as it gets for this franchise. The Jackets have mostly disowned the original logo in recent years, but bringing it back for a few games (while eliminating the neon green) would be a significant improvement over Cannon’s current alternative logo, a boring circle that looks like it should be depicting a middle school, not a professional hockey team.
Exclusivity
Remember when substitutes were just that – substitutes? Something you wear maybe 3 or 4 sets a year to make it feel special? The Jackets wear their current thirds averaging 12 games per season. Limited to home games alone, that’s over 25% of all home dates, 12.5% ​​of all games in an 82-game season. Jackets, which only wear them a few times for potentially a single year, make them more special.
The colour
Red kicks ass. That’s all we can say about it.
The most identifiable (obviously) with Ohio state, done correctly, it won’t look like a take off from the Buckeyes’ uniforms. A tribute to the city’s unofficial color, however? It might work. Well done, with a pair of well-matched gloves and blue bras (the opposite of what the uniform is now)? It is something special.
Selfishly, I had wanted a red Blue Jackets jersey for a long time. Red is my favorite color, and it’s a real alternative to the blue that the team always wear (rather than a different shade as an accent with an ugly cream color). Red jerseys, to my eyes, just look smoother on the ice.
This is the opportunity to try something new. For once, this franchise seems to be taking it.
