The Minnesota Wild’s special Winter Classic uniform was designed in order to celebrate the state's rich hockey pedigree, the rivalry of the Twin Cities and its legacy as the State of Hockey.

The crest features two stars represent Gemini, the twins constellation and are a nod to the two cites, St. Paul and Minneapolis.

The finishing touch comes with the canvas brown elbow patches as a representation of the long hours of wear and tear on beloved hockey gear.
"With the game taking place at the home of the Minnesota Twins, we certainly channeled the spirit of Minnie and Paul for our Winter Classic sweater. The striping, fonts, and fabrics used in the final adidas design all took inspiration from St. Paul and Minneapolis hockey teams of the 1920s, '30s and '40s." -John Maher, Senior Brand Advisor
