Wild 3rd Jersey (Again)

So anyone have different thoughts on them seeing them in full display during a game. Has grown a little more on me.

Not feeling them 100%, but feel better about them than i did a few months back. The original greens are still my fav.

but I am a sucker for green, so i am biased.

My thoughts exactly.
-I like the simplicity of them (although a shoulder patch of the logo would be cool too, but then again that might blow my simplicity out of the water).

-It's good to see green and away from red. TOO MUCH RED IN THE NHL!

-The stupid reebok protocol piping on the shoulders is just unecessary. If you're gonna do that, just make the shoulders that wheat color. Doing that, I'd be SOLD.

yeah, every time i saw Backstrom that piping stuck out like crazy because of how big his jersey is.

but they looked better than i thought they would on the ice

I think the sweater looks better on it's own than it does with the complete uniform. The breezers lack of any striping makes the green extremely overwhelming IMO. They NEED to add striping to the breezers!

Yeah those were a little plain. Don't wish for it though before reebok hears you and makes a stripe and it turns into a wavy nonsense mess.

thank god reebok had no hands on in the islanders uniforms that were all wavy with the numbers and name plates

When I first saw the sweater when it was announced I was kinda 'meh' on it. It has slowly grown on my and I am now a fan. Now that I have seen the whole uniform on the ice I am kind of 'meh' on that. Seems like too much green and the red accents are a little too minimal. Looks a little weird with all the green and wheat in the unis when a player has a lot of red in their gloves. Then the gloves just look out of place. Plus since there is a decent amount of wheat and no white in the uniforms Backstrom's mainly white pads also look out of place. Wheat and white just don't seem to look right together. Would be interesting to see wheat pads used with the 3rd jerseys.

Mikko looked great in the 3rd sweater with the 'C' on it!!

I didn't really like the new unis when they were displaying them when they first came out, especially the wide waist stripe. But I have to say I did like them on the ice. To me they exemplified Minnesota Retro without going over the top. They put me in an up north mood. Maybe that is bad though. I should be in a Lake Street mood for a game. Wait. This ain't basketball.

I don't mind the color set-up but that softball banner has got to go. ICK

Well they have played like a softball team so I guess it fits the bill.

The Wild have done things right when it comes to striping IMO, and if they added striping down the sides of the breezers just to help break up all that overwhelming green, it would help GREATLY!

I honestly find them ugly as fuck.

I love them. 10 NHL teams wear red. Dallas used to be the only green team but are now black at home. I say we go green.

Green = Envy.

Makes perfect sense Jagged!

I liked the 3rd jerseys right from the start. So I didn't need any selling on them. I didn't like the whole uniform assembly. While I am a wee bit green/blue color-dim. The Wild's breezers looked blueish to me. Maybe it was becuse I wasn't able to tune in until early in the 3rd and at that point hey may have been a bit saturated with melty ice particles that altered the hue, but the curtains didn't seem to match the carpet.

Envious of what/whom tho? That is the question I mull. As the only teams I am envious of would be the SC winners, like Pittsburgh and Detroit. But then I tak solace because those fans live in... Pittsburgh and Detroit.

Curtains not matching the carpet...I'm going to zip my lips on that one...

C'mon Cehnedeh I left you a big hanging slider(there's another one, somewhere I think) right over the plate for your 4th line trolloxic quips.

Wow, so they are doing three games in a row? The are also wearing them tomorrow against Carolina. Another "Go Green" game. I'm gonna be at that game but wearing my white jersey since it has more green in it than the red one. Be interesting to see how they look in person. Although I am in the upper deck so I'll be quite a ways away.

they are also wearing green against chicago too

Hmm. Should be interesting. It'll be like watching an NHl game in the pre 200-whatever. Whites for the home team. I'll try not to get confused.

what if they threw everyone for a loop and did Blues 3rd and the Wild 3rd?!?

I thought of that at first. Would be sweet. But the navy blue against the forest green would be too hard to differenciate. Fuck it. DO IT UP!

IF WE CAN FOLLOW IT IN MADDEN AND NHL 2010, WE CAN DO IT IN REAL LIFE!
