Winnipeg Heritage Preview

I know outdoor game concepts are usually reserved for Saturdays but this one couldn't wait. Yesterday the NHL announced the 2016 NHL Heritage Classic will see the Winnipeg Jets hosting the Edmonton Oilers in October.

Rob Siergiej wasted no time in mocking up a uniform set for the event. The jerseys are based on what the clubs wore in 1972 when they originally made their WHA debuts. In fact, this is what Jets chairman Mark Chipman has said to expect. Should be a great looking match-up!

And as a bonus, Rob also put together this set, which is also inspired by the teams' WHA days.

On this Minor League Sunday, we get a new uniform set from Ryan Christensen for the Grand Rapids Griffins. The logo is one they used in 2011-12 but it'd be great to see it come back!

Anniversary Classic

Several anniversaries will converge in 2017. The Toronto Maple Leafs mark 100 years. The Ottawa Senators hit 25. And the city of Ottawa will celebrate 150. For those reasons — and perhaps others — Alan Su proposes this Heritage Classic in Canada's capital city.

As if the Buffalo Sabres don't have enough problems as it is, Jason Pires has gone and done this to them. Happy Friday.

King Combo

I'm a fan of the Gretzky era jerseys and logo, so I combined those with their current logo, as well as a new shoulder logo option that combines old and new concepts.
