0064: Another Classic Option for 2013

For the second half of this Winter Classic Weekend, we're once again looking to the 2013 game between Detroit and Toronto. Matthew St. Jean offers his take which includes one script jersey and one with a logo and loads of stripes. Personally, I'm a fan of both. We've seen a lot of great concepts that could truly work well next January. Looking forward to seeing the real thing.

0063: Feelin' Retro in Philly

It's another Winter Classic Weekend. Matt Marczel has put together a nice retro-inspired sweater for the Philadelphia Flyers. If you ask me, the only drawback is the Jets-style striping.

0057: Winter in Winnipeg

Thomas Hopkins put together this Winter Classic concept for 2014. He envisions the game taking place in Winnipeg between the Jets and the New Jersey Devils. Odd partners sure, but as classic hockey jerseys go, you could do worse.

0056: Philly Classic Mulligan

Since we missed out on a Ross Taylor concept this week for a special Friday the 13th posting, I'm giving the first half of this Winter Classic Weekend to Ross. Some time ago, he put together a couple of jerseys for the 2012 Winter Classic between the Flyers and Rangers. An improvement over what we actually saw or not?

0050: Winter in New York

This half of the Winter Classic Weekend is focusing on New York. It's fair to say there are a good number of fans hoping to see the Rangers and Islanders face off in the elements. We've seen lots of examples for the Rangers, but what about the Isles? Brett Ireland provides us with a very simplistic yet intriguing solution. The only thing that probably wouldn't work — since this is a TV event, after all — is the lack of contrast on the back numbers. And while the design doesn't exactly scream Islanders, it would probably fit the Winter Classic theme.

After reading through the comments, Brett decided to take another swing. This one includes the Isles' other important color — orange.

0049: A Classic Midwest Match-up

It's Saturday and that means the start of another Winter Classic Weekend, doesn't it? For the moment we'll all pretty Toronto-ed and Detroit-ed out. So let's look beyond 2013? I bet the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues would make good partners for an outdoor extravaganza — especially, now that the Blues are playing like a good hockey team again. And these two jerseys by frequent IceHL contributor Chance Waddell look fantastic to me. In fact, why do we even need to wait for a Winter Classic to see them? Let's get them on the ice as alternates now!

Update on Sat · Apr 14 · 2012 by Chris

Chance wrote in the other day to say he revised his Blackhawks Winter Classic jersey to make it "a little less stripey." I think it works both ways. But there you have it.

0042: An Ohio Classic

Before the Columbus Blue Jackets ever turn up in a Winter Classic, they need to get a lot better. But I think they'll make it eventually. Ohio is a great place for outdoor hockey. And when the time comes, perhaps the team could honor its in-state predecessor. That's what Trevor Richards has for us — a Blue Jackets uniform with all the marks of the old Cleveland Barons.
