So, I'm actually a BIG FAN of the DET/CBJ Stadium Series going full Michigan/Ohio State, and the Stadium Series jerseys pulling from the respective universities. Like Detroit could wear a white/maize/dark blue jersey with a red winged "D" front and center, and Columbus wearing a hockey version of Ohio State's home reds.

I'm not a concept artist, but I would love to see the Blue Jackets embrace the Civil War Union uniform influence with a navy and brass scheme, maybe even a large cannon logo. This may also make the emboss effect on the first Stadium Jerseys finally look good on the numbers. (Also, this would be perfect for a colour on colour game without forcing the Red Wings to wear... err... well, you brought it up in the video)

when fanatics takes over next year, since i don't think they'll be allowed to do "reverse retro" jerseys, one thought i had was for them to do "secondary crest on chest" jerseys. not all of the teams have one, but seems like a good way to capture the same kind of mystique the RR jerseys had, without being too repetitive.

I want more color vs. color games, especially outdoors!

“One step forward, two back” the NHL mantra

Seeing a Columbus Chill concept for the Jackets, that made me think of their local roller hockey team, the Columbus Heat, who also uses that style in their third jersey. Maybe the Blue Jackets can take inspiration from the Heat? They could incorporate the skyline in the waist striping, and maybe the colours? 🤔

14:27 I’ve never had such a violent reaction to an image

- Wrigley Reverse (Although I think they would use the shoulder logo in place of the head) - Eagles Reunion but needs to be executed better. - Simply - The white Face The Future jersey would be lit.

My aunt used to be a Columbus Chill fan, she gave me a puck from a Chill Game before she passed❤️

I think its wayyyy beyond time that the Red Wings break out a Detroit Cougars throwback that updates the Cougar head logo for an outdoor game. Amazing that they've never attempted to use it for a jersey since moving away from the name.

Great Video Cris these are the concepts I would pick for the 2025 Winter Classic and Stadium Series Chicago’s Centennial Classic, True White, Simplify, and history with a Twist I hope the Blackhawks avoid that black and white crest

As a fan of old school jerseys, I have no problem with teams like RedWings and Montreal never changing uniforms, but I do agree that both teams I mentioned have dropped the ball the majority of times they’ve been given a free pass to have some fun and try something a bit different for one game, and maybe even keep them for alternates if they are a hit, but they have tried to keep it almost too safe

Absolutely going to try to go to my home game (I haven’t been to a Hawks game since I was 3, and a Wolves game at 11), but we definitely need to branch out who we throw in these. Imo: Next year should be Florida V Tampa in one of the NFL stadiums for at least one of the games Maybe also Kings V Ducks in Angel Stadium (since Ducks have never hosted) And I guess Salt Lake City maybe, but probably wait at least another year for them to get stable to throw them in an outdoor

Was reverse retro an adidas thing or will it continue do you think?

I’ve wanted the Tomahawks logo for a specialty jersey forever. I don’t think the Blackhawks should get rid of their logo. It’s Mahkatêwe meshi kêhkêhkwa. a Sauk leader and warrior. Black Hawk earned his status as a war chief or captain by his actions: leading raiding and war parties as a young man and then a band of Sauk warriors during the Black Hawk War of 1832. The 86th Infantry Division developed the blackhawk as its insignia during World War I, to honor the Native American warrior of that name who fought the US Army in Illinois and Wisconsin during the early nineteenth century.

I feel like the tan Hawks jersey would work well with the Eagles Reunion concept. Meanwhile, for the Stadium Series, I’m thinking that the Jackets would go with something close to the Simplify concepts (though, personally, I’d love the Chill inspired jersey because my dad grew up in Ohio when the Chill were still around and he has always loved their brand), and I’m hoping the Red Wings go with something similar to the white Face the Future concept. Being a huge Wings fan who’s the son of a die hard Jackets fan, we’re already making plans to go, and I feel like that Face the Future concept-or something similar-would be perfect. Just enough wild and crazy, but not so much that it would be overwhelming to the Red Wings fans who will burn effigies at the mention of any departure from the classic brand.

I’ve never loved blues jerseys, but I would kill to see a white version of the 08 alternate

one of the main attractions why ill see the Blue Jackets vs Red Wings = Ohio State Buck Eyes vs Michigan Wolverines.

Though the climate might be difficult to make it practical as im not sure if anywhere in Flordia could make this happen, but a Florida vs. Tampa Stadium Series would have been a really fun take on the idea. Of course, Florida has never been in an outdoor game and its a solid rivalry between two good teams! I also think that a Stadium Series in a warmer climate could make for some fun branding and jersey designs! I feel as though Columbus would also have more room to work with for inspiration for a Winter Classic than the Florida teams, with the Cleveland Barons being part of their history and the Red Wings having some stuff to pull from.

I don't mind it. But many others will predictably throw a fit if it ever returned.

Jackets wear silver as primary color with bold red piping and stripes (silver and red osu) and then have some white blue trim in there to represent cbj. While Detroit just wears an all white with red and black piping similarly to how Michigan typically wears all white in football when they travel to the shoe and give Detroit the Wolverine claw helmet in white and red how Michigan has it blue and yellow.

I hope the winter classic is Red vs Blue

Shame there isn’t a heritage classic announced. But it would be nice to see more Canadian teams involved. Winnipeg vs Minnesota, Montréal vs Boston, Toronto, or Colorado (Nordiques inspired). Even the Oilers vs Islanders or Bruins as a throwback to the 80s

Anaheim took part in one against LA unless that is for home turf?

CHI: Wrigley Reverse. STL: True White. CBJ: Simplify. DET: Detroit Delight or Jake's Adidas Alternate from the first concept.

Personally, Why not just make the Wrigley reverse red for Chicago and Daitchman's Blues concept. Kirkpatricks concept for Columbus and the white jersey from Burton's design for Detroit.

I hope Detroit adds black to these uniforms. I also hope CBus leans into the cannon. I kinda want Detroit to have a black primary and an all white uniform (kinda like Torontos outdoor game against Detroit) just with a cool cannon concept. Couldn’t really care less about the WC. I’ll only be impressed if they use the Eagles logo and the shoulder patch.

I don't think we'll get it. But I want the original Eagles jersey. Blackhawks should absolutely roll with the crossed tomahawks.

Give us Stinger on the front of the CBJ jerseys or we riot.

The toughest thing with the stadium series is, nobody wants to see the teams in their colors and it may be hard to put their teams in the universities colors. The bottom line is, when you put these two teams in the Shoe, you want to invoke the rivalry of Michigan and Ohio State…but how do you do that when red is literally in the name of the team from Michigan?

For the Jackets, I'm hoping they lean into the civil war idea. Go with just the cannon on the front, maybe have some chevrons on the sleeves.

@icethetics I also wonder could the Blues wear baby blue instead of white or vintage/cream?

Best Winter Stadium jersey was the fake vintage Red Wings jersey.

If the CBJ-DET jerseys lean into the OSU-Michigan rivalry, it would be a travesty. The Blue Jackets are around despite OSU's existence, not because of it. There's a long, ugly history there, and it would be a slap in the face to reference it that overtly. I'd bet there will be former OSU and Michigan football players recognized at the event, and lots of programming around the rivalry. That's perfectly fine and a great idea to draw in new fans, but I hope the jerseys stay away from that pitfall. The cannon jerseys are by far my favorite from CBJ. I'd love to see them push that idea further.

Im from Columbus and it seems to be the consensus that everyone wants the Blue Jackets to wear Ohio State colors and the Red Wings to wear Michigan colors. I personally hate football and hope the 2 sports stay separated, but it seems to be what everyone wants

The Blackhawks should NEVER change their logo. I hate these changes to team names because people who AREN’T indigenous and who DON’T watch sports think that sports teams with native imagery are “racist.” The Blackhawks honor the natives they draw imagery from and have permission. All I ever see from Native Americans is how they want the Indians and redskins back and how we shouldn’t change the Blackhawks. The tomahawk logo is cool but not better than the Blackhawk logo.

2025 Winter Classic: We've seen teams recently use jerseys of the city's past franchises (Pittsburgh, Dallas, Nashville), I predict the Blues will do an Eagles throwback. The NHL has seemed to want to move away from Chicago's primary logo in jersey reveals (last two Reverse Retros). I wouldn't be shocked if they use a wordmark again or the shoulder logo for the primary. 2025 Stadium Series: I think the Jackets will try to cash in on the Ohio-Michigan rivalry this game. I think the jersey will be something related to representing all of Ohio. For Detroit, since the Stadium Series is supposed to be bold, non-traditional, wouldn't be surprised if they use black again since they did for the Reverse Retro.

14:21 I think a university tie in would be incredible. Im ohioan and a student at OSU but pretty much all Ohioans regardless of the university they went to root for the buckeyes and despise Michigan

The Blackhawks should never change their name and logo. The Redskins and Indians should not have caved to the "woke" culture.
