  1. The Blues jerseys in the early days were pretty good. Then some dolt put the tacky “BLUES” over the note logo, which was plain awful. Then they got to where your collection starts.

  2. I got my son the third "Arch" jersey with Kariya on it. Gorgeous jersey. Hate the red monstrosity. Fave is the 79 – 84.

  3. shannon your absolutely right that mid 2010s tertiary jersey is the best one we had and we need to bring it back

  4. I have always liked the 80's style with logo and word mark above, it reminds me of the ludicrous scoring that decade and how good Mike Liut was during it. Also the dark blue still really pop's and would look good on a 3rd.

  5. Winter Classic at 6:32 should be their primary, just a perfect looking jersey. Just have and the white version and you're set. Beautiful. I also love the yellow one too from last year. Use that as the third.

  6. I do like thos lighter shade blues from yesteryear

    Ive always liked tge Blues uniform, logo A1

  7. I wore a Blues jersey to a concert in Prague and all of the musicians were fascinated. They felt like it was finally a team for them.

  8. Just a suggestion, but hanging the jerseys with the hook facing away from you is a helluva lot easier for life in general.

  9. Totally agree w that 2016 Reebok 3rd w the drawstrings and the Arch in the logo. Lost in a fire- sad. Need to bring that 3rd back. The yellow and red 3rds are hideous.

  10. I have a soft spot for the Blues jersey from the 1979 to early 1980s era of Mike Liut, Bernie Federko, & Brian Sutter. My buddiy's uncle was Ralph Klassen & he played on that Blues team. The 1980-81 St. Louis Blues competed for 1st place all season long with the eventual Presidents Trophy winners & the Stanley Cup Champion The New York Islanders.

  11. I didn't know you had so many Blues jerseys…it's good to see. The worst ones are the last one you featured, the red and yellow. Poor choices for reverse retros, especially the yellow. I believe it is the only jersey they've worn that did not have the traditional Blue Note somewhere on the garment. That logo was a prototype, as you said, and thankfully, it wasn't used (until now). I did always love the shoulder logo with the horn, like on the Gretzky jersey. I thought they made an otherwise garish jersey somewhat interesting.

  12. I love the yellow reverse retro. I think it's very cool to use a concept logo from before the teams first game as a logo. Colors are good too

  13. I have been watching hockey since the Flyers entered the league, and to my discredit, I have never noticed the changes in jerseys: the Blues were always identifiably the Blues, and etc. I appreciate you highlighting the many manifestations of the jersey designs.

  14. I'm not a fan of any jersey with a word note on it except for the Rangers but the Blues jersey with the word note on it from 1984-87 looked good. However the current Blues jersey now is my favorite. They have one of the nicest jerseys in the league. On a another note, RIP RJ

  15. As for the Blues Reverse Retro jerseys I know that the RR 1.0 jersey everyone called it the McDonald's jersey and for the RR 2.0 jersey it was alright but I think I like the RR 1.0 jersey better

  16. The white jersey you mention that was from the 80's that was used for the Winter Classic in Minnesota was actually used only in their first year in 67-68. They apparently changed the striping for the playoffs that same year. As a Blues fan, the red jersey burned my eyes. It was like going to McDonalds in the 80's and not being able to leave.

  17. The dark navy 3rd jersey is still my absolute favorite. The strings on the neck is just an old school touch that is a chef’s kiss. Hoping they bring it back some day

  18. You’re right, that Reebok 3rd (dark blue) is awesome. Not a fan of the red from the 90’s.

  19. I don't know there's this part of me that thinks the Winter Classic jerseys will become the main jerseys in the future

  20. I hate that red reverse retro so much. It makes me angry when I see it. It's even worse when they are on the ice.

    The Winter Classic jerseys are amazing, though.

  21. Eww that red 1……., just awful and I’m a lifelong fan. 😂. Yes ur favorite is THE BEST JERSEY EVER; I agree. Love the Gretzky 1 to. Our jerseys for upcoming season are good 👍🏻.

  22. Any Blues jersey with red trim is wrong!! The colors are Blue (primary) and Yellow (secondary). And of course White, and to a lesser degree Black get involved as neutral colors.

    While I don't like the reverse retro design that was used most recently (Because the Blues had never previously used that uniform design on the ice) at least it reversed the correct colors. Yellow trim on Blue reversed is Blue trim on Yellow. Red was only a brief mistake in the early-mid 90's that we can't seem to let go of.

    The retro I would like to see most (and has not been done) is the whites from '73 to '84 or the corresponding darks from '79 to '84. Clean look and I love the shoulder striping that goes down the arm a bit ending in a half circle. I grew up with these and I love them!!

    My favorite Blues Jersey is the '98 – '07 home white / '14 – present road white. I consider these to be the same jersey because they pretty much are. Perfection was achieved in '98 and the Blues did well going back to it.

    I wish we could go back to the whites being the home jersey for some teams (other teams do better with darks). The Note contrasts so beautifully against a white background. Its a great jersey that looks good in motion. (The darker blue logo on dark blue kind of needs to be still to see it.)

    Last note: Never put a word mark on the jersey. The Note speaks for itself. Everyone knows the blue 1/64 note is St. Louis.

    Of course are just my preferences. If the "clown jerseys" with the red and diagonal striping are your favorite then get one and wear it proudly. I hate that one, but I'll do what I like, and you do what you like!

  23. I’m pretty sure I haven’t even seen the Ornest Blues word mark in jersey form at Enterprise. That was the penny pinching days for the team, so I doubt there are many that were ever made. Little known fact, when the current white jersey debuted as a 3rd during Hull’s last year as a Blue, the shoulder on the replicas was a different shade of blue than even the next year.

    As far as the clown jerseys go, the blue, red, and yellow/orange are slightly different shades when you compare the retros to the ones actually produced in the 90s. The newer version is less harsh on the eyes

  24. That Arch third is still a favorite for me – my wife and I both got that jersey as our first (Winter Classic is my second and wraps up the hockey collection) and I miss it being on the ice. I still keep it as a desktop background on my computer from time to time; as others have noted, the drawstrings for the neckline just gives it a classic touch that I love.

  25. disagree so bad. the light blues or the 80’s (and early 90’s) were the best they had. Their current jersey is so bland

  26. The issue most diehards have with the red sweater is that our biggest rival(s) wear(s) red (hawks/wings). We are the BLUES. I like the yellow RR, but it reminds me a bit much of a newer hated rival (Nashville). But that logo is amazing!

  27. As a Blues fan, I hate seeing red on a jersey because it just doesn’t go. Also not a fan of the really dark navy.

    Royal blue, powder blue, yellow, and white/cream. Keep it within those colors and I’ll probably love it forever.

    (Side note: whoever decided on the clown jersey with the rounded edges and the big loud design and then felt the need to write St. Louis on the logo in the most plain white default font ever is terrible and should not design jerseys again.)
