Remember this?

The Blues are getting closer to starting the regular season (The schedule is here.)

I've been a big fan of the new rule changes in the NHL -- minus the shootout -- but I'm not too happy with this.

First, the Reebok logo on the back creeps me out (way too big) and I really loved this. To me, a hockey jersey has horizontal stripes, but at least we didn't go back to that mid-90s jersey.

I'm sure it will grow on me, but if you're looking to buy me a gift (since only my wife and mom read this), try this instead.

The rest of the new jerseys can be seen here.

Those vintage Blues jersey's rock. I imagine soon that logos for sponsors on the jersey's will be bigger than the team's logo haha. But, Brian, don't get your hopes up that since I'm reading this that I'm going to be buying you a Blues jersey for Christmas haha.

That's OK, a donation to The Fourteen Fund would be better anyway.

Trickldwn --

I'd love to join a team, if you're looking to get a team together that plays on Sunday nights up in St. Louis. If it's a lower-level team, I'm in.
