0455: Stadium Series Preview

For the second time in a week we visit with the talented Nick Burton. And as it's Saturday, he has a couple of Winter Classic ideas to share. Up top, we have an orange option for the Islanders — who are expected to face the Rangers during the 2014 NHL Stadium Series. And down below, a white version of the Senators' current third jersey — for when they're hosted by the Canucks in the next Heritage Classic.

0448: A Future Heritage Classic

This Winter Classic Weekend brings us a look at a future Heritage Classic between the Winnipeg Jets and Edmonton Oilers. Bryan Dyck has a great pair of jerseys here that aren't actually that unrealistic.

0441: A Chicago Classic

On Wednesday, the NHL announced the first of reportedly six outdoor games next winter as part of the 2014 Stadium Series. Among them will be the Chicago Blackhawks hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins. Today, Dylan Alexander brings us a rather black and white take on a potential "Winter Classic" style throwback.

0427: Caps Throwback That Isn't

Nick Sample has drawn up a Winter Classic-style sweater for the Washington Capitals. It looks a lot like a throwback but it definitely isn't. Kind of like the Red Wings' 2014 Winter Classic look.

0420: Rocky Mountain Classic

This Winter Classic Weekend takes us to the Mile High City for an outdoor match-up between the Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues — only designer Mike Bell has the Avs sporting a Rockies-inspired uniform. The Rockies trace their lineage to today's New Jersey Devils. Not sure the Avalanche would be wild about that notion. The Blues sweater is pretty neat though. This obviously would no longer be an option for 2014, but maybe 2015?

0413: The Battle of PA

Eric Poole offers up his take on a future Winter Classic — otherwise known as the Battle of Pennsylvania — between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. Truthfully, it may work just as well outside the context of the outdoor event — just the regular season series between the two franchises. Neat logos either way.

0406: Winter at the Big House

These Winter Classic concepts were designed not long after the first leak of what would've been worn this year back in January. D.C. Visual Arts was also behind the Winter Classic concept that inspired widespread knockoffs in the summer of 2011.

Of course, subsequent leaks this winter showed us what the actual jerseys would've looked like. What still remains to be seen is whether the same jerseys will be used when the game is rescheduled for New Year's Day 2014.
