Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz grabbed a lot of attention on Saturday, August 24, with his unique wedding attire. Hintz chose a bold half-black, half-white suit, and thus his outfit quickly became a hot topic online.
Hintz, known for his strong play on the ice, showed a different side of his personality with his daring fashion choice. He also sported a freshly shaved head.
BarDown shared a picture of Hintz in his striking outfit with the caption:
"Roope Hintz rocking the half Black half White suit 👀 Thoughts on the look? 🤔"
The photo caught some fans by surprise, who shared their thoughts on X:
"Roope wants to be a Batman villain, meanwhile Ol’ Patty IS a Batman villain," One fan joked, referring to Patrik Laine.
Laine, recently traded to the Montreal Canadiens, was also in attendance. The two players posed for the photo together.
"Looking like Two Face and Peewee Herman about to go on a big adventure," a fan said.
"I thought I was pretty liberal about wedding attire until I saw this… Why?" another fan said.
Hintz’s choice to wear such a distinctive suit on his wedding day showed his playful personality. He made his special day memorable for more than just the ceremony. Here are some more reactions:
"I can’t wait to see Laine start styling with the boys in Montreal. Gonna be sick," a fan said.
"Roope Hintz and Patrik Laine look like a Scandinavian dance pop duo who hit No. 5 on the British charts in 1987 with their first-ever English language song and were never heard from again," one fan compared them rather elaborately.
"Don’t want to overreact but if the Stars don’t nullify Hintz’s contract they should be liquidated," a fan joked.
