0266: Waddell's Winter Classic, Part 1
I've got a great new series to debut today. It takes Winter Classic Weekends to their next logical step. The Brothers Waddell — Chance and Jake — have designed Winter Classic/retro-style uniforms for all 30 NHL franchises... whether they have the history to support it or not. Some are seriously good, some are just fun.
Now rather than doing one big dump of 30 jerseys (where many would simply get overlooked), I'd like to roll them out over the coming winter two at a time. Today we start with the Penguins and Kings. Again, retro style jerseys with no specific ties to the team's past. Just something unique and interesting.
Remember, Chance and Jake have designs for all 30 teams so we have 28 to go. How will I decide which two to post next? I won't. You will. The first two were picked at random. The next two will be picked by the first commenters on this post. Comment with the two teams you'd like to see next. First come, first served. Check back next Saturday morning to see them!

Brian was first, so Rangers and Islanders are what we'll get next Saturday. And just like this week, first to comment gets to choose the next two teams.

Rangers and Islanders?
The designs are good but the logos are WAY too big. Do Canucks and Coyotes next.
How about Detroit and Tampa for next week
I would like Montreal and Ottawa.
Show the Panthers and Coyotes!!
Would love to see Vancouver and chicago!
Cool stuff. Love to see the Stars please!
Minnesota and Anaheim. Let's see what they can do with those.
Ducks vs. Panthers!
Carolina Hurricanes
Detroit & Phoenix
Stars & Wild!
Jets/Coyotes or both next!
Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators.
I like the Kings jersey, but the crest is a bit too large for my taste. The Penguins one is interesting, but, again, the crest is too big. There may be a bit too much gold in the Penguins concept, though that could just be because of the size of the logo.
Would like to see the Isles concept.
Phoenix & florida
Colorado Acalanche and the Dallas Stars
Oh so many to choose from I can't decide! How about the wild and the predators.
Ducks & Lightning!
Interesting new series. I kind of like the Pens jersey. Simplify the struping and make the logo samller and ot would be much better! the Kings is good too, just not too different from their original jerseys. I'd use purple equipment though.
Colorado and Vancouver next week!
Canucks and Blackhawks
Can we see these with realistically sized logos? The concepts are great, especially the penguins one, but the crests are HUUUGE
After a few requests, the crests have been modified to a more typical size.
Sorry about the crests guys, I had no idea they were as big as they were. My bad!
The logos are too big, but other than that, great jersey sets. Only thing I would change is to give the Kings purple pants. Great work Chance and Jake, looking forward to next week.
