I was spoiled already because I was at the last one.  I'll watch at least the beginning, then I bet it just becomes another Caps-Pens game that I probably wouldn't be watching anyway because I don't want either team to win. |

I find the Caps jersey to be too much like thei normal ones. And the pengs just changed up their one from last year.
I'm also not really looking forward to the Winter Classic, for a couple of reasons. Why do the Penguins get another game? Not fair. I hate Ovechkin, and Crosby so the hypes not there for me.
I'm more looking forward to the Heritage Classic. It's Canadian, and the Flames are in it. Plus, the Flames' jerseys are epic!

Every Winter Classic features throwback jerseys that the team's wore at one point in their history. The Capitals really didn't have many options. In the caps history they only have three sets of jerseys. From 1974-1995:  From 1995-2007:  And then their current ones. As for the Pens, they actually combined a few of their original jerseys to make the one they will be wearing today. I'm tired of the Pens as much as anyone, but they get the highest ratings. Also, whenever the Caps and Pens play each other the game is almost always good. I can't stand those Flames' jerseys   |

[/quote] I thought each team created a completely new style jersey for the Winter Classic. I believe they do a take on their retro ones. However, if the Caps are using jerseys from the past I'd have preferred them to use from the 1995-2007 time frame. Just look cooler, IMO. They look way better in real life. xP |

I'll have to agree with Nyi, the Flames jerseys look like something out of Dr. Seuss. I would've loved to see the Capitals take the eagle jerseys from the late 90's-mid 2000's and make them red, white and blue. Oh well, maybe in two years when they're in it again. Personally, I'm getting more excited by the hour to see Crosby on his ass. |

You guys just don't have a Flames jersey to wear, and see the awesomeness of it all. |

I'm trying, trying so hard to like hockey, guys. I really am. I'll probably watch this, but only because the Capitals are my team. I personally don't think the game being outside is any more of an attraction than a normal game, but I'm probably in the minority there.

In the first Winter Classic Buffalo wore their home jerseys before 1996 and Pittsburgh wore their away jerseys from 1970. In the second WC Chicago wore its lone jersey from 1935, and Detroit wore its lone jersey from 1926. In the third WC last year Boston wore its yellow jersey that was around from 1955-1967 and Philadelphia wore its white jersey from their inception to 1982. Some of the jerseys were slightly altered, but pretty much to a "T" the original. The Pens this year are the first to do a hybrid of multiple jerseys. About the Caps, I agree that the eagle jerseys are cooler BUT what kind of throwback or "classic" jersey would it be if a bunch of players on the current team had already worn them when they were in their prime? It's too soon to use those as a throwback, it has only been what? Three years? Out of curiosity - are you from Calgary? I'm trying, trying so hard to like hockey, guys. I really am. I'll probably watch this, but only because the Capitals are my team. I personally don't think the game being outside is any more of an attraction than a normal game, but I'm probably in the minority there. It would be a much bigger attraction if you watched a lot of normal indoor games each year. If you want to get into hockey, I'd say the playoffs are the easiest time of year for that.  Really though, hockey is one of the worst sports to watch on TV. In my opinion, however, it is one of the best sports to see live. (And I think football is the exact opposite). |

I don't remember Calgary ever wearing the jerseys they'll be wearing from the Heritage Classic.
And, yes I was born in Calgary. I live in Edmonton though.

I don't remember Calgary ever wearing the jerseys they'll be wearing from the Heritage Classic. That's because they haven't. I was talking strictly from the WC point of view. The Canadiens are wearing a throwback though. Ah, living in enemy territory? I visited western Canada about four years ago and loved it. Went to Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, etc. |

Yeah. Too bad the Canadiens have no good jerseys to wear. xP
Yeah, I moved here when I was 7.
Lake Luise and Banff are excellent. I go there skiing every Spring Break.
