0381: Reintroducing Red
For more than a decade, red was part of the St. Louis Blues' color scheme. It's been gone since the late '90s, but Mark Mozdziez is looking to bring it back with his concept. Think it works?

I think it works mostly except for the white Blues logo and the home jersey in general I think has a little too much white. The numbers look very similar to the Predators. Are they the Preds numbers? Mark implements the red well here though I must say. Good job
I absolutely love this, even as a Blues' Fan. While the white crest for the home jersey may be a little too much for me, i adore this because the late 90s jerseys were always my favorite. I would love to see them use that away jersey in a game. Great Concept
I think the Preds might take issue with copying their guitar string numbers.
Hmmmm.... LOTS going on here. Having a hard time digesting this. The home logo is just too much IMO; the white really pops, almost too much. I don't mind the road jersey. Overall tho there's too many stripes (including in the #), one too many logos, and there's too much red. I like the idea of bringing the red back. I would just scale it back somewhat. I think a more simplified look of this would work. Now, I just feel it's too busy.
ooh, i really like that dark jersey. not so big on the stripes on the numbers, but overall those are pretty sick looking.
Wait, so Andy Bugelli's Islangers concept gets a Friday post, but this doesn't?
A team called the Blues, with no blue. Vancouver's old color scheme ripped off. Nashville's current numbers ripped off. And the homes are a reversed version of the aways, complete with white crest.
The only things I like are the round logo showing the arch and the bluenote plus the horizontal touch on the numbers.
They are the "blues" NOT the "reds". I vote leave it out.
Cool homage to the Gretzky era threads. But I don't think anyone can be dissatisfied with their current sweaters.
The numbers with the striping going across is a rip from the Nashville jersey. I dig the idea, music bars, and it probably makes more sense for St. Louis but it's been done.
I actually really like this, but there are a could things that bug me. First is the Nashville numbers, I understand the reasoning behind choosing them, but I don't like them on this jersey. The other is the colour of the logo on the blue jersey, I think that it should be blue, like it was in the Gretzky era.
I really like it though!
Too much going on, but if done properly it could work
No, no, no, no... the Blues need to stay away from the red forever. As a Blues fan, I can say that I am dissatisfied with their current sweaters. The third jersey is just fine, and the regular home and road color scheme is perfect, but they need to lose the Reebok Edge jerseys and go back to something more like what they had just before the Reebok designs... or even their original jerseys from the '60s and its cool shoulder yoke, but with today's color scheme.
I like the white one a lot better. It's got a good balance of light and dark. The blue sweater has too much white for my tastes. I think just making the cuffs blue and the inside of the collar yellow or blue would make the sweater a lot stronger. I really like the idea of reintroducing the red trim though. Nice work.
No No No...never!!!! The St Louis BLUES!!!!
These are great, but it feels like there's a lot going on here. Maybe simplify the jersey a bit and it'll be 5 stars.
White one is very nice , dark one is nice as well just find the white logo looks off
Love this, but the Predators numbers are kind of weird on this jersey.
I love the white jersey. The dark throws me off with the white logo. If the logo was yellow, maybe it would look better.
love em, only things id change is switch the blue sweater logo to blue, and I agree the Preds numbers are weird
Only two things I don't like about this jersey are the numbers (a bit busy) and the white note on the home jersey (personal taste: I hate multiple primary logos). Other than that, I think this is killer.
pretty interesting. the road is sharp, but don't really care for the inverted logo on the home.
in addition, are the stripes running through the numbers a nod to nashville?
i wasn't huge on the preds snatching the "music motif" but it's theirs now, so best to leave that alone.
@zackpaps
you're really going to call 31 games the "gretzky era"?
By far the best concepts ever put on this site. These are absolutely sick. I'd buy one and im not even a blues fan. It would be a nice change for this team. Their currnet uniforms are nice but really boring. These are concepts keep a classic hockey look but also look dangerous and fast. I love these. One more thing - the blues need to scrap their current 3rd jerseys. Those are awful.
Blues need a change, the Dark Blue is too dark. I loved those jerseys from that era. And they need the sheet music striping on the sleeves.
I'm not crazy about the white version of the crest on the home or the outline of the yoke. I think it makes the jerseys just a bit too busy. But i gave it an incredible, because the red helps make the jersey's pop.
Blues should either do these colors. Or go back to the Brett Hull days of the light blue and yellow. Leave the dark blue for Nashville.
ew no, no no no no no
