0378: The AHL in the Elements

When the NHL canceled the 2013 Winter Classic, it also effectively canceled one of two outdoor AHL games — since the ice sheet they were counting on was never built. It would've been the Grand Rapids Griffins hosting the Toronto Marlies, but it didn't happen. Maybe next year when the Winter Classic is expected to be rescheduled. In the meantime, this is what frequent contributor Ryan Haslett thinks the two clubs should wear when they eventually do meet up in the elements.

Not bad, id prefer the Griffs just wear what they did when they 1st entered the old IHL, and the game will be played next year. As a season ticket holder they are having us call for info on tickets and giving away a pair to holders

I second the Griffins in their IHL threads over some Wings-inspired fauxback duds.

I really like them but if you're going to outline letters/numbers in navy blue then navy should be worked into the design in other places. Make the collar, "GRIFFINS" and maybe one of the stripes navy and i think it'd tie the color scheme together a little better. I think the IHL Griffins jerseys were a mess. I'd rather they not wear those at all.
