Here's another Detroit-Toronto Winter Classic concept. I'm posting this even as we wait for word on whether the game will even be played at all. I like this one because it's simple and quickly identifiable. Nobody turning on the TV on January 1 would have to look twice to see which teams were playing. Now let's just hope they get to play.

It's another Winter Classic Weekend. What about this Colin May design for the Canucks?

If the Boston Bruins play in another Winter Classic in the near future, they'll most likely be the visitor, having hosted one of their own already. So they'll probably need a white jersey like the one Bastian Schmülling has designed.

The second half of this Winter Classic Weekend is for a bit of a flashback. Ryan Haslett designed and submitted this concept last year for the 2012 Winter Classic between the Flyers and Rangers. Admittedly, it's not far off the mark from what the actual jersey looked like but you can see where his inspiration came from — the old Philadelphia Ramblers. Think it's a step up or not?

Got a couple of items to share on this Winter Classic Weekend, but we're looking beyond 2013 for this one. If recent history is any indication, the Blackhawks will soon find themselves back in the outdoor spotlight, and when they do, Wade Hermann suggests they sport something like what we see above.
As a bonus, we have this update to a Blues concept posted last month. Chance Waddell originally designed a blue one but has since added a vintage white version to match.
Believe it or not, this Winter Classic Weekend post was scheduled long before yesterday's unveiling of the official new Winter Classic logo. But because of that, it couldn't be coming at a better time. Matt McElroy has assembled a beautiful set of uniforms here as well as a great logo. Now that we've seen the real logo, I can't wait to see the real uniforms as well!

It's been three months since Matt's original design was posted, but he's made some revisions he wanted to share. So if you've been perusing the archives, consider this a treat!
The Toronto Maple Leafs are the subject of this Winter Classic Weekend. Anthony Ruggiero has put together a couple of ideas. And for what it's worth, he actually sent in these long before Howard Berger said the Leafs would be using this 1927 crest.
