Cool beans. I'll be forwarding this to a friend who had four tickets to this year's cancelled Winter Classic. He's still on the fence about whether to defer the tickets to next year.

skinbubble		2013-04-07 02:01:45 PM

Both are cool, but I like like the Detroit one just a little more.

oldfarthenry		2013-04-07 02:33:08 PM

How 'bout having the players use ol' timey equipment as well?
Leather shin pads, wooden sticks, no protective melon helmet, Victorian oven mitts, etc.

I'm just waiting for the Winter Classic to come to Minnesota. I guarantee you all 40,000 seats will be filled with Minnesotans in -10 degree weather talking about how warm it is compared to a "real" winter like in 1999

HaywoodJablonski		2013-04-07 03:21:25 PM

Jeans and sweaters, or possibly golf gear?

Am I the only who thinks the Leafs one is not good looking? The sleeves and the oversized logo make this version look like pajamas. I think the 1960s version would have been a much better choice.

Oh and can we return to calling the "jerseys" Sweaters please. That is what I would like to see along with a Red Wing win!

Good grief... another game of mediocre east coast teams?

What are they trying to do, kill the whole concept?

We need old time pond hockey like they used to play in Phoenix or Miami.

I wish I could remember which city the defending champs are from. Some classic, northeast city, I'm sure.

I was going to guess 'bowties, long scarves and sticks in the shape of a question mark' because lol lockout.

The old Detroit Cougars "D" jerseys are cooler, but these are a pretty decent 2nd best.

It's pretty much an open secret that the next Winter Classic will probably be played at Dodger Stadium. They would have gotten it for 2014 if it wasn't for the lockout.

barefoot in the head		2013-04-07 04:50:32 PM

Jerseys. jersey's. Some other stupid spelling of the word "sweater". Even if one yields to the use of the word jersey, that forum is an illustration of modern education, in a microcosm.

An apostrophe catastrophe; not too mention the other excuses for English construction that people have posted their.

That's because they all left detroit because the place is a hell hole. There are masochists everywhere, hence toronto fans.

Yes, hockey fans in Minnesota will find something else to do when the Blackhawks come to town for the next Winter Classic.

I thought the 2011 Winter Classic proved that PA is almost too far south.

Why, because some shiatty original 6 team isn't playing? Kings played an outdoor exhibition game in Vegas back in the 90's. Granted Gretzky was playing, but hockey does survive when taken out of the northeast.

/why reward the Leafs?
//at least get playoff caliber teams

God forbid they hold one in an interesting location. Surely it means doom for all of us.

Maybe the Colorado Avalanche retro unies will look that cool 40 years from now. I'll be in my mid 90's.

Oh yes, failure on a massive nationwide TV scale will only help drum up interest in the league.

Popcorn Johnny: Those are awesome.

Yes.

As much as I think the Bruins WC sweater should be their alternate one, it pales in comparison to these.

Both of these teams were once good. I say give em the game even thogh Detroit isin the West. Hockey fans have big enough hearts to be charitable to has beens

At Target Field, Minnesota Wild against the Minnesota North (Dallas) Stars...

Vance Uppercut		2013-04-07 08:32:14 PM

The only two remaining teams with 2-color jerseys.
The only team that hasn't missed the playoffs since the last lockout (other than san jose) vs the only team who hasn't made it.

Probably the two teams with the most global and historic relevance.

/nobody likes Montreal outside of western Quebec
/nobody likes the pens outside 1990-1995 and 2008-2013.

meanmutton		2013-04-07 09:10:04 PM

I might be in the minority on this but you have probably the two best uniforms in the NHL, both of which have been largely unchanged since forever. Just use your classic, awesome uniforms.

Color on color! It's time for the NHL to allow this all the time, provided of course the colors aren't too similar.

What, you don't want to see the Flames and Blackhawks play each other wearing their red jerseys? Because I'd find that awesome.

jaylectricity		2013-04-07 10:38:13 PM

A couple too many white stripes on the TOR one, but otherwise they're classic.

Woolwine		2013-04-07 10:39:14 PM

Now let's do Avs/Red Wings at Mile High. The benches would clear just for the alumni game

Dougie AXP		2013-04-07 11:38:19 PM

I'm still holding out for a Pens vs. Flyers at Beaver Stadium. That. Would. Be. Epic.

Er. That would take a LOT of planning, and a lot of cooperation from the weather.

Right next to the Soo Locks? Far enough north that it's likely to be frozen. Make it a TV-only game, with only enough grandstands for locals: https://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&q=46.500556,-84.361111&ie=UTF8&ll=46 . 500519,-84.361095&spn=0.038107,0.078278&z=14&vpsrc=6
