On this Winter Classic Weekend, we head to the Central Division. The Waddell Brothers have created 30 fauxback style jerseys — one for every NHL team — and we're taking a look at them, two at a time, every Saturday. And every week, you get to pick which teams get posted. Last week, Redneck was first to comment and he picked the Blues and Blackhawks.

Next week, we're taking a brief break from the Waddells to look at a different Winter Classic concept, but they'll be back in two weeks. So if you want to choose which two teams will be up at that point, be first to comment on this post!

Another Saturday brings another pair of fauxback Winter Classic jerseys from the Waddell brothers. This time, as requested last week by Joe Langdon, it's Detroit and Carolina. Guess that's what the Hurricanes might've looked like in 1997 had they kept the Whalers' colors.

Looks like Santa decided that more of you were nice than naughty this year because he's delivered not one but 10 new concepts today! First up is a Seattle Metropolitans design by Wicky Turton. Hm, it's very... red and green. Maybe Santa had a certain theme in mind for today.

Nick Burton would like to see the Red Wings in a red jersey similar to their 2009 Winter Classic threads. It's a pretty sharp look!

The "Big Guy" definitely likes his green and red. Colin May imagines a brighter palette for the Dallas Stars. It's not bad even if he is sticking to the wordmark crest.

Joseph Loretz offers up an elegant fix for the Carolina Hurricanes' flag problem. The club's secondary logo portrays a single red flag with a black square in the middle, which typically refers to a tropical storm. A hurricane is generally represented by two of those flags. However, the swirling winds behind the H in Joseph's logo would appear to be rotating clockwise — which only happens in the southern hemisphere. Oops.

Back to green again. This time it's Chance Waddell (of our ongoing Winter Classic fauxback series) with a sharp sweater for the Canucks. They should just adopt this as their third jersey immediately. In fact, why haven't they already?

Another Original Six team gets a look here on Christmas Day from Wade Herrmann. Again, I'm a big fan! For whatever reason, I really like the black and white logo on the mostly red sweater. Sometimes I think it's too bad NHL teams don't do more one-off sweaters like they do in the minors. (Though most of the time, I'm grateful for that.)

Guess Santa couldn't find anymore green teams, so we're back to the Stars — but this time in a much darker palette as designed by Kevin Dion. In fact, it's actually too dark. On TV, this uniform would look solid black from head to toe. The idea isn't bad, it just needs brighter colors and more contrast.

I believe Icethetics is breaking new ground today. This may be the first bit of concept art ever posted from a female designer. Gotta be honest. I don't think many of them are that interested in designing fake hockey sweaters. But kudos to Christine Adams on her new look for Team Canada.

Oh wait, there was one more team with green. And they also have red. Bryan Dyck probably didn't intend for his set to have that Christmas-y look, but it kind of does anyway. Or maybe it's just me. Or Santa.

We'll wrap things up here with our 10th concept of the day. Ryan Yuck gives us this very red Devils jersey. Filling in the white area in the Devils' logo gives it a whole new look somehow. It's really interesting — as were all of today's jerseys. Which was your favorite?

Two brothers. Thirty teams. Nothing but fauxbacks.

Our Winter Classic Weekend series has been handed over to Chance and Jake Waddell for the time being. The pair has produced retro style jerseys for all 30 NHL clubs in this year of the first canceled Winter Classic. Last week, Jeremy was first to comment so he got to pick the two teams we look at this week. And he wanted the Canadiens and Senators.

Which two teams are next? This week, you have to be the third person to comment. (That doesn't mean comment three times under different names. I will ignore those.)
