Kevin Weekes sur Twitter: Guessing the Wild passera aux couleurs des North Stars à plein temps
**Keep an eye 👁️ on**
Just my hunch, and not confirmed- but I have a feeling the the @mnwild will return to their North Stars kit setup full time (as they should). Undeniably these are some of the best in sports 🔥.@espn @NHL @NHLNetwork @TSNHockey @DKSportsbook #HockeyTwitter pic.twitter.com/mtImnnYB9v— Kevin Weekes (@KevinWeekes) January 29, 2023

Kevin Weekes in 2000: Guessing the Will will move to the Xcel Energy Center full time
I’m all for nostalgic 3rd jerseys but I don’t know why Minnesota would go to this scheme completely. I’ve personally always been a fan of the Wild’s green/white/red. I think it’s one of the best jerseys in hockey.
No.
Yes be done with the Christmas colors
Forest Green is my Wild. Retros can continue to be fun on occasion.
I love the normal jerseys but the North Star jerseys are just so much cleaner. I wouldn’t mind this at all. They’d definitely stand out from other nhl teams that’s for sure
Who is this guy and why should I beleive this?
NO, me love hunter green 😠❤️
When Phoenix (now Arizona) got their team, they changed their name to the Coyotes. They could’ve stuck with the Jets, given the high military population there. But they, intentionally or not, picked a new mascot to leave the door open for Winnipeg.
Dallas was lazy and didn’t do the same. But that was their prerogative. Consequently, the Wild couldn’t be the North Stars. It would’ve been awesome if they could’ve been the Minnesota North Stars on day one, but that didn’t happen. I don’t see the point in pretending it did.
The jerseys look great on TV. I’d like to see them as a permanent third jersey. But I don’t see the sense of making it permanent unless we came to some agreement with Dallas to allow a full rebranding to the North Stars (and Dallas become the Lone Stars or something like that). I highly doubt that will happen and I’m not even sure people would want that.
Good
Never
Please god no. Why can’t we let the north stars go? It was 30 years ago. We are the wild- we had a great run in ‘03, we had the gaborik saga, we had the finnesota era w koivu and bakstrom, then we had the 7/4 contracts, and now we have kirill. That’s good history right there, embrace that not norm green.
I personally would not like this at all. They are the Wild, not the North Stars.
Fine enough for this retro jerseys but I don’t think they should be a full time 3rd either.
Fuck that. North Sharts belong in the past. Im cool with these as a third jersey tho
Idk why so many people want the Wild to wear Packer colors.
Love the Northstar jerseys. Definitely cool as an alternate but I like the dark green as our main
This would unacceptable.
Personally ny favorite is the reverse retros. After that it’s the green with Minnesota written across the chest. If they wanted a good 3rd. I would do a reverse retro but with the new M they did for the current primary jersey as a logo. Or go with the wheat type like in Iowa
I’d be ok with this. Just pick one or the other please so we can be done with this
Jesus Christ no. The Wild are not the North Stars. Sorry you pissed away a franchise 30 years ago, but let the rotting corpse die already.
Please yes
Retro’s are ok, but Forest Green is the best uni in the NHL. Changing permanently would be the worst mistake
I hope they become a third jersey
no.
edit: if they take away my green and red i will actually go ballistic i love the reverse retros but the wild arent the mf north stars sometimes nostalgia is a bad thing
This would be as bad as a Ryan Hartman penalty.
Russo said they are adding this one into the rotation full time.
I really don’t like the regular colors at all! I like the reverse retro so much better. I would be happy to make the change.
I think they need to do one of two things:
1. Stay the Wild and wear north stars-colored jerseys only on certain occasions
2. Change their name to the North Stars and go back to all the old branding
I don’t think they could stay the Wild and use those colors full-time. It just wouldn’t fit with the wilderness theme.
Screw the north stars. I was a North Stars fan when I was a kid but now I am a Wild fan. Honestly the green and yellow is starting to look garish to my eyes. I prefer the team logo / mascot Wild as well.
Russo said it’s just going to be in the rotation, not going to be primary colors
Yes. Get rid of the awful Christmas colors and embrace the reverse retros full time.
I love how in this thread it’s pretty much all negative but amongst the general fan base this would be the easiest slam dunk in history and would make the organization a shitload of money.
Wild has one of the best colour schemes in NHL and those retro jerseys are just pain to watch.
Has the 16/17 alternate green with Minnesota across the front been deemed unusable cos it’s not an adidas jersey? That jersey is 🔥
Totally fine if these become our third jersey. They’re gorgeous looking and would be a shame if we never see them again after this season. They should not be our primary though.
It’s really an elite look
Everyone here dismissing the idea when I’m here thinking they should where north star colors and flower wear brown pads ….
Yes. Please do and keep Forrest as our 3rd
They will not be full time and people need to get that through their heads. I know people inside that say they won’t be
I wish
I would be incredibly sad if we transitioned to north stars colors. . . I wasn’t alive during the north stars era, the wild are my team, and we are forest green and red. It would feel like a loss of identity to me.
On a different note, I wish we’d get a fighting saints inspired RR next year. I’d like to see us honor our state’s *entire* hockey history.
Their forest green jerseys make em look like a bunch of christmas trees….just a weird vibe
Leafs fan here. The Wild home jersey is one of the best in the league, however their white jersey can be upgraded to match their home jersey – maybe something similar to the panthers jersey style for their away one
If they get rid of the red I don’t care. No more Christmas colors
