So true.  The Wings and Leafs have a rich history going back to The Original Six days.  Plus, with Toronto only being a 5 hour drive to Ann Arbor, it's a natural fit.  The demand for tickets in the Detroit-Ann Arbor area and Toronto was off the charts.
Exactly. And I would wager that a big part of going to this game would be see the Red Wings and Maple Leafs looking like the Red Wings and Maple Leafs, even in throwback/fauxback form.

Based of the shirts is it possible we could see a colour vs colour match-up? That'd be a true classic!

They probably won't, but I'd love to see Toronto go all-out with brown gloves and pants. Last year, Biron wore brown equipment, but unfortunately, we didn't get to see him in action.

Nice to see that Toronto resisted the urge to go with the St. Pats throwbacks.

Why? That would have been awesome.
The St. Pats era, while part of the Leafs' lineage represents a sort of failed experiment. An attempt to brand themselves as a Celtic/Irish/Catholic-centric club, a hockey version of Celtic FC if you will. It didn't really take and they became the Maple Leafs, a team embraced across southwestern Ontario, and most of English Canada for decades. While the lineage of the St. Pats and Maple Leafs is one and the same the Leafs were the team that a nation got behind while the St. Pats were the team that didn't even really appeal to the demographic they were pandering to.
Also Maple Leafs vs Red Wings is a great historical rivalry. St. Pats vs Red Wings was never even a thing.

Plus there's the fact that the Leafs were chosen for this game because of their widespread appeal. The Toronto Maple Leafs brand is very strong. Why dilute it with a uniform set so far removed from the look the brand is known for?

...But the St. Pats vs the Cougars was a thing and we've seen Detroit use the striped jersey before. I thought they may go to that jersey match up. Not that I'm disappointed that they didn't this looks so much better.

Why do the shirts say CCM on them?  Will Reebok revert back to CCM jerseys?

Doubtful. They probably just say "CCM" to go along with the throwback feel.

Reebok owns the CCM arm that makes hockey stuff.

Is it possible that fans Edge rendered these up themselves? Or would the image have been sent to them by Reebok?

That would have been cool wouldn't it? Its just that I love the St.Patricks name. I wish they would have kept it. I would have been a rabid "St.Pats" lover rather than a rabid "Maple Leafs" hater. :)
And I think eventually fans would have warmed up to the name. And instead of today hearing insufferable fans chant "Go Leafs Go" every 2 seconds (even when its not hockey season), we could hear classy fans chant "Go Pats Go". ;)

Out of all the nicknames that have come and gone in the NHL since 1917, "St.Patricks" is my third favourite.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game.  They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White.  Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base.  In the sand.  With no ice.  Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather.  Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

CCM makes most of the retail stuff for Winter Classic merch, hence the replica jerseys always being CCM cut and not the traditional Edge cut like the players use.

Yeah, but no one cared when the St. Pats played the Cougars.
I donno. This game was supposed to (and still may) feature two of the strongest brands in the NHL who also happen to be historical rivals. They should look the part.

I think your the only person in existence whose fandom of Toronto hockey would have hinged on the keeping of the St. Pats name.
Again, they changed it because they couldn't even get the demographic they were pandering to with the name to support the club. I may be remembering the story wrong, but I think the St. Pats even resorted to giving their players fake Irish names, so yes it was pandering.
Not saying that most of English Canada wouldn't have gotten behind them if they kept the name, but that's not what happened. The Leafs became the Passion that Unites Us All. Hard to argue with the success of that brand change back in 1927.
