Just in time for back to school, the St. Louis Blues unveiled their new Heritage Jersey on Sunday night.
It's what all the cool kids will be wearing in The Loo!
The Blues unveiled their new threads at a fan event on Sunday night. Several Blues players attended the event, including newly acquired players in center Ryan O'Reilly, power winger Pat Maroon, center Tyler Bozak, winger David Perron and goalie Chad Johnson.

All things old are new again.
The Adidas design team is paying homage to the Blues' inaugural season of 1967-68. It also resembles the Winter Classic sweater worn by the Blues in 2017.
Happy 50th Birthday, Blues.
The new sweater features the iconic Blue Note emblem on top of a vintage light blue base. The original gold and white stripes adorn the sleeves and waistline.
These tarps are sexy. Vlad Tarasenko loves them.
Blues captain Alex Pietrangelo loves the new tarps, roo.
"It brings back all the memories that you had as a kid, growing up and looking at old pictures of the Blues. It brings back that old-school staple and pays tribute to all those guys that have built this organization to get it to where it is. We're here now because of them, and we can pay tribute to that. The fans, along with the players, will have a really good response to this jersey."
The Blues will wear the new Heritage Jersey on 11 Saturday night home games during the 2018-19 season:
10/6 vs. Chicago Blackhawks 11/3 vs. Minnesota Wild 11/24 vs. Winnipeg Jets 12/29 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins 1/5 vs. New York Islanders 1/19 vs. Ottawa Senators 2/9 vs. Nashville Predators 2/23 vs. Boston Bruins 3/2 vs. Dallas Stars 3/23 vs. Tampa Bay Lightning 4/6 vs. Vancouver Canucks
Buffalo Sabres fans are going to be jealous of the new sweater design of the St. Louis Blues
Sabres fans have been begging and pleading with the Pegulas to go back in time and to reintroduce the iconic royal blue and gold color scheme that the French Connection made famous in the 1970's.
I predict that Sabres ownership and management will give their fans what they want.
The Sabres will celebrate their 50th anniversary season in 2020.
Cross your fingers, Sabres fan.

Sometimes there’s just no need to mess with an original.
