0182: Battle of Quebec 2014

This Winter Classic Saturday has Justin Nahhas imagining a possible Denver-hosted Classic in 2014. It's a play on the club's Quebec history as they would host their former rival, the Montreal Canadiens — who would be playing their third outdoor game in 11 years.

0175: California's Winter Classic

This is so silly it almost seems like it should've been posted on a Friday. But then again, if the Panthers think Florida can host a Winter Classic, why couldn't California? Nevill Carney pits the Kings against the Sharks, oddly, instead of the Ducks. But if this really happened, wouldn't we expect much older jerseys? Like the Kings in forum blue and gold? And the Sharks wearing, well, Seals jerseys?

0168: If the Blues Were 40 Years Older...

Our Winter Classic Weekends series is returning to Saturdays starting with an interesting look for the St. Louis Blues from Chance Waddell. This one is styled after the super-stripey jerseys from the 1920s and '30s — despite the fact that the Blues weren't founded until 1967. Still, it's a neat design that absolutely screams Winter Classic. Maybe in 2014?

0162: Revisiting the Winter Classic

It occurs to me we haven't had a Winter Classic Weekend in quite a while. I'm bringing that back today. It also occurs to me that we still haven't seen an actual 2013 Winter Classic logo yet! Justin Cox is happy to provide both for us today. He's created a beautiful set of uniforms along with an impressive logo. Overall, one of the better concepts I've seen in quite some time!

0105: Black for the Winter Classic

I'm not saying the Philadelphia Flyers should take part in their third Winter Classic in the near future, but if the time comes, this would be an excellent uniform option! Mason Hesse put together this design that, while completely new, feels very much like a throwback. What do you think? Is this one case where black might actually work?

0064: Another Classic Option for 2013

For the second half of this Winter Classic Weekend, we're once again looking to the 2013 game between Detroit and Toronto. Matthew St. Jean offers his take which includes one script jersey and one with a logo and loads of stripes. Personally, I'm a fan of both. We've seen a lot of great concepts that could truly work well next January. Looking forward to seeing the real thing.

0063: Feelin' Retro in Philly

It's another Winter Classic Weekend. Matt Marczel has put together a nice retro-inspired sweater for the Philadelphia Flyers. If you ask me, the only drawback is the Jets-style striping.
