I am really looking forward to the Winter Classic this year on New Year's Day -- Flyers vs. Bruins in Fenway Park.
The Flyers have unveiled their jersey for the game.
This is the jersey the team wore from its inception in the late 60's to the early 80's.
Here is how that compares to the regular jersey.
I'm actually a fan of the team's third/alternate jersey.
Heck, if the Flyers are going retro, and the game is outside, maybe they should bring back....
...the PANTS!!

Not that I care all that much about the NHL, but it does bother me a little that the Flyers are in this game, instead of an Original Six team, a la Chicago-Detroit at Wrigley. I don't know, maybe it's my sense of tradition, or maybe it's just because I don't like the Flyers. :-) Having said that, the retro jersey looks great.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the Original Six has to do with the outdoor game. Remember, the only reason this game is being played is because of the success of the Buffalo-Pittsburgh game two years ago. Those aren't Original Six teams.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, I fully expect next year's game to include the Rangers at Yankee Stadium.
