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.

0250: Barons & Griffins

Scott Markiewicz is back with another AHL concept this week. His take on the Oklahoma City Barons has the club keeping its old Oilers color scheme but with a new striping pattern. It's not bad, but I'm definitely a fan of their new third jersey.

As an AHL Week bonus, we have this Grand Rapids Griffins concept from Nevill Carney. He originally created it last year as a New Year's 2012 proposal.

Now normally, I end theme weeks on Thursday so that we can properly observe Freak Out Friday. However, this week we do have an AHL-themed Freak Out so check back tomorrow for that.
