I think the original, unused Blues prototype jersey from 1966 that this WC jersey is modeled after was a nod to those, for sure. STL had no hockey at all from 1953-1967, and the Flyers were the last team in town before the Blues came along.
Cool had no idea, not so mad about not having the Note on the front of the WC jersey now. Thanks for bringing peace back into my life.
Just made a video kinda bashing the Blues’ 2025 WC jersey😅 but at least we know now that they took inspiration from something rather than coming up with just anything and releasing it.
Judging by the Charlie Chaplin mustache, I’m guessing this picture was taken before WW2.
This is why I like the jerseys, as simple as they may be. It’s supposed to be a historic throwback. The jerseys we got look exactly like ones that would’ve been worn decades ago.
Wonder what the color placement is on this…i think they were red, white, and blue the whole time they flew here.
