Blues Third Jersey Makes Debut Sunday

The one and only time I’d welcome Keenan back: Third Jersey Day

Extra poochie- available in jersey number seven only.

No thanks on this one. The tie on the neck is a no go for me at all times. Yes, go ahead. Roll your eyes wanna be “Old Skool” fans.

I actually like the laces… I grew up playing hockey in the Affton system, where making the “A”-level travel teams meant the reward of your first REAL jerseys – Red, White, and Blue in the style of the New York Rangers’ old shirts with “Affton” stretching from the right shoulder to the left hip… and it had the laces on the neck.

I dunno… it’s just a look that I’ve generally preferred.

From what I hear, the numbers on the backs and arms are slated to be white, not gold – these are going to look very, very different on the ice from what we’re used to.

I like this third jersey…….now I just need the $ to buy one

Mrs. GTPD and I are still cleaning out the Big Nasties in our basement, so I probably won’t be able to make it to FanFest.

Someone had damn well better have some photos of the new duds (I hope that’s not a frighteningly-accurate prediction) on the site ASAP tomorrow.

And let me know how the Kinderblauen look out there.

B.

I will be there with Son of GT. He’ll be loaded down with paint pens and hockey pucks to get signed. The kid is jazzed.

I’ll certainly have pics of the new duds to post at some point tomorrow, but I can’t get on board for ‘kinder blowin’ though. Sounds illegal, whatever it is.

got laces on my riverman jersey refused to buy the new one when they stopped lacing them up. plus old style was cheaper. so win-win

does it have a fight strap or is this the jorgen pettersson model?

and old school? the whole current jersey is old scool, you love new school get out the brett hull red thing and the glow puck.

although i do already have a hockey team that has the arch for the logo on a jersey. just wish i could find, and add,a gteway locomoticve jersey (extra pouchie) to the mix. never could track one down for sale on a web site. and i guess kelly chase has other things on his mind now (ouch!)

p.s for those who dont know, and i missed it if we posted it somewhere, kelly chase has a brain lesion. last i read, they were trying to track down its cause.

to help, kinder basically means “children” and blau is “blue”, so draw your own conclusions on what Kinderblauen means.

back onto the topic, I don’t really like the current jerseys, but from the written description, these 3rd jerseys might be tolerable…. with exception of one thing: the logo FEATURES a Bluenote, why the hell are there Bluenotes on the shoulders? a little overkill perhaps?

as long as it’s not ‘children’ and ‘blew’. Some dude just got 220 years for that.

wait, is that back off-topic?

Are we all sitting together at fanfest?

Photo gallery of Bradley B in the new one is up on the Blues website

Shit. It actually looks good.

…I want one.

OK, I’ve seen ’em, and I like ’em.

A lot.

If they wanted to go with these as the full-time design, that would be OK with me.

The only minor complaint I have , is that the Bluenote could be a little bigger and more prominent inside the circle. Other than that, these new sweaters are definitely not 100% shit-knuckle…

So, mein freuden… wie war der Blauenkindern (“Kinderblauen” war nichts richtig) an das Eis diesen mittag?

Herr B.

“As pointed out by our ever-vigilant poster JGB…”

That’s really funny, since it’s usually Tim poking me with the cattle prod to check the web for something…

I dig the new threads. Good stuff.

yes, it is true, I love to poke. If I was a hockey player myself, the poke-check would be my signature move.

I like the new threads as well. They look good, and the logo could work on a white jersey as well. Laces are cool, don’t have a strong feeling one way or the other, to be honest.

BTW, the 09/23 preseason game will also have an AHL peoria rivermen match as an opening act. Your Blues tickets will also grant entrance for the 3:30 tilt. So, in case a warm Sept day doesn’t screw up the ice enough, we’ll have a full game ahead time. But, ya know, its free hockey, so it’s not all bad.

I would 100% endore the switch to these 3rd jerseys going full-time, as long as the streamlined jerseys are required. after that, go back to the Quinnville era jerseys

*endorse

speaking of the laces… did anyone catch what backes said about tying the laces when kerber was interviewing him? it was something like “i don’t tie them, but some guys do. that says something about those guys, but we won’t go into that.” then, of course, two players later, is paul kariya with his laces tied in a perfect bow. i’m just making an observation.

my biggest complaint about the new jerseys is in the merchandise they had in the team store. the t-shirts, especially, seemed reasonably priced for official merch, but they did not produce any long-sleeved t-shirts in small. i know, not a big problem for those gametime readers who are excited about the prospect of an “extra-poochie” cut, but some ladies, such as myself, would like to rock the smaller sizes. hopefully there are more lady-friendly options in the works.

Why was Eric Brewer standing in full uniform outside the Authentics shop?

Hey gang!!!!
I really like the new sweaters and probably will be doing the pre-order tomorrow night – like them much more than the official ones, partially because the bottom has the stripe back. The white sweaters look so unfinished and I think we’ve discussed before, looks like they are skating around in grandpa’s old white t-shirt.
Jessica – as far as Paul – all I can say is look at his picture in the cookbook – it does make you wonder. :)
Chris – I too thought Capt Roboto was posing in the shop when I first walked up!
Wish I could have watched more of the scrimmage but I was busy tattoing kids and they wouldn’t go away and let me watch…..Afterwards I was assigned to Yan, Weaver, Schwarz and 2 other kids at their autograph table. Yan & Weaver are total smart asses so it made it entertaining to watch them sign for an hour.
Can’t wait until tomorrow night!

“Why was Eric Brewer standing in full uniform outside the Authentics shop?” quote Chris Gift

I took these pics during intermission between scrimmages. There was a Blues employee standing there on guard who told me. They had to put the 2G iBrewer on the iwall charger his ibattery was kind of low. He is not use to going without a charge longer than the 20 minute regular periods, 25 was stretching it. the new and improved iBrewer came out this summer and it has already broken.

look i am really tired of all this. the mojave brewer is perfectly fineif you use it right and are not told it is just regualr brewer with a secret name to fool the yuppies.

so we should buy the 3rd jersey and customize it with the number 4 and the last name VISTA?
