Good jerseys, phenomenal logo.
My favorite Wild jerseys are ones that unfortunately aren't used anymore - the green jerseys from 2000-2007. They looked so sharp and original. I know I'm in the minority on this, but their 3rd's just look like bad college jerseys and their home reds look too X-masy. Plus, I hate the circular logo which unfortunately has been a trend around the league. The road whites are good although I'd use more traditional numbering.
best jerseys in the league
Without a doubt
my second favorite set in the league, next to the sabres of course. green is a terribly underused color in the nhl
I love the home reds. They used the vintage white and circle logo before they were popular. The aways are solid don't like the shoulder patch but whatever. I agree with Tom about the 3rds though...
Love the jerseys just hate that they changed the shoulder logo.
It'd be nice if the home and road unis still matched, preferably in the road's style. I also still don't like that new shoulder patch; it just looks like crap. Of course, they're not the first team to go through this - the Senators spent eight years with mismatched designs when they didn't alter their original-style white jersey at all upon adopting the red jersey in place of the old road black jersey.
I've never been too crazy about the Wild's red jersey, even when the original third version was introduced. It's got some merit, but the fauxback effect - trying to look like they'd fit in the Original Six era - just doesn't quite work for me. And while I'm a fan of contrasting upper sleeves, it just doesn't seem to work as well with red and green. I'm not exactly happy with the yoke piping on the red and green jerseys either - it makes them look like they just popped out of NHLPA Hockey '93 for the Sega Genesis! (I have the same issue with the Hurricanes.)
At least "wheat" has been part of the team's color scheme from the get-go, so I won't rail on them for using a color resembling the "vintage white" that other teams have decided to use this year. Still, it'd be nice to see a little white...
Probably because I'm a Sens fan but; I hate that so many teams just have matching home and road jerseys. I don't really see the point. Why not do something interesting with your whites rather than just have a colourless version of your homes? Having a varied jersey set is cool to me, even if only a couple teams (Wild, Thrashers and OIl right now, though that is changing) still do. I'd love to see a team conciously design it that way, not just have grandfathered in whites from their old jersey set when a third gets promoted. And bring back the Sens classic whites! The current ones look like hell...
I think they'd be better off with a white version of their current home jersey. I'm not a big fan of jerseys that don't match. Save the off jerseys for the 3rds.
I love all 3 Wild looks, but I think they could use some consistency. I would like to see the old green jersey become the home and the red go back to third. But keep the cool green third around as a fourth. That would be a move in the right direction.
I really like all the dark jerseys the Wild have ever worn, especially the original green ones. The green alternates are really great also. Their white jerseys have never really stood out to me though, and the newer shoulder patches are a HUGE step down. I would love to see the original green jerseys come back, the red ones are good but the older green are 1,000,000 times better.
2nd ugliest uniforms in all of hockey minus new jersey. dumb mascot, minnesota can do much much better than this
I hope the Stars do something similar to the Wild's alternates and incorporate lots of green with the new jerseys coming out. Other than the super red home jerseys, I like Minnesota's uniforms a lot.
