0204: Flyers Classic Flashback

The second half of this Winter Classic Weekend is for a bit of a flashback. Ryan Haslett designed and submitted this concept last year for the 2012 Winter Classic between the Flyers and Rangers. Admittedly, it's not far off the mark from what the actual jersey looked like but you can see where his inspiration came from — the old Philadelphia Ramblers. Think it's a step up or not?

0203: Winter in the Midwest

Got a couple of items to share on this Winter Classic Weekend, but we're looking beyond 2013 for this one. If recent history is any indication, the Blackhawks will soon find themselves back in the outdoor spotlight, and when they do, Wade Hermann suggests they sport something like what we see above.

As a bonus, we have this update to a Blues concept posted last month. Chance Waddell originally designed a blue one but has since added a vintage white version to match.

0196: Meeting Up at The Big House

Believe it or not, this Winter Classic Weekend post was scheduled long before yesterday's unveiling of the official new Winter Classic logo. But because of that, it couldn't be coming at a better time. Matt McElroy has assembled a beautiful set of uniforms here as well as a great logo. Now that we've seen the real logo, I can't wait to see the real uniforms as well!

Update on Thursday · Dec 6 · 2012 | 1:37 AM PST by Chris

It's been three months since Matt's original design was posted, but he's made some revisions he wanted to share. So if you've been perusing the archives, consider this a treat!

0189: Toronto's Winter Classic Options

The Toronto Maple Leafs are the subject of this Winter Classic Weekend. Anthony Ruggiero has put together a couple of ideas. And for what it's worth, he actually sent in these long before Howard Berger said the Leafs would be using this 1927 crest.

0182: Battle of Quebec 2014

This Winter Classic Saturday has Justin Nahhas imagining a possible Denver-hosted Classic in 2014. It's a play on the club's Quebec history as they would host their former rival, the Montreal Canadiens — who would be playing their third outdoor game in 11 years.

0175: California's Winter Classic

This is so silly it almost seems like it should've been posted on a Friday. But then again, if the Panthers think Florida can host a Winter Classic, why couldn't California? Nevill Carney pits the Kings against the Sharks, oddly, instead of the Ducks. But if this really happened, wouldn't we expect much older jerseys? Like the Kings in forum blue and gold? And the Sharks wearing, well, Seals jerseys?

0168: If the Blues Were 40 Years Older...

Our Winter Classic Weekends series is returning to Saturdays starting with an interesting look for the St. Louis Blues from Chance Waddell. This one is styled after the super-stripey jerseys from the 1920s and '30s — despite the fact that the Blues weren't founded until 1967. Still, it's a neat design that absolutely screams Winter Classic. Maybe in 2014?
