JamieRose Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Good read. It was very thorough and extremely well thought out. Both uniforms looked amazing, also (so don't punch me in the face, please, I spoke the truth! ) It would be really cool to see the Stars return to Minnesota for a heritage game.

Stormo Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 A Wild throwback had me laughing out loud, til I saw the pictures of the oldtime Saints sweaters. This idea's a home run with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Best Winter Classic idea Ive seen. Makes alot of sense, well thought out, looks good...... the NHL would never do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_prankster Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Even though the NHL won't go for it in reality, I'd really love to watch it on TV.I'd also like to see these as Winter Classics:Kings vs. Ducks at Angel StadiumDevils vs. Rangers at Yankee StadiumFlyers vs. Penguins at Heinz FieldFlyers vs. Devils at the new Giants StadiumBlackhawks vs. Blues at Busch StadiumCanucks vs. Avalanche at Invesco FieldBlues vs. Predators at LP FieldFlyers vs. Capitals at RFK Stadium The Fictional Story of Austus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 "I propose that the Dallas Stars become the first southern NHL team to participate in a Winter Classic. Understanding that freezing weather isn't always a given for North Texas on New Years Day..."Looking out the window, that seems like a funny statement.

aci Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The jerseys look great, especially the North Stars' jersey.p.s. I'd like to see the Senators play the Capitals at some point- Canada vs the United States for all the New Years' Day marbles. FedEx Field would be the logical location for such a game.

andysoccer12 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Its a very nice proposal, but the Winter Classic is gonna feature Ovechkin next year, so unless they have 2 games, a Winter Classic in Minnesota wont happen until 2012...

Viper Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 This is an awesome proposal. You might also be able to add a new Vikings stadium to your list of venues if Minnesota's turn gets pushed back far enough. (Emphasis on "might".)As for your half-joking proposal at the end to eventually hold a Winter Classic in Dallas, I wouldn't put it past Gary Bettman to try to stage it at Cowboys Stadium. Hey, if Ralph Wilson Stadium can host the event during the NFL season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oo_nrb Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I'd also like to see these as Winter Classics:Canucks vs. Avalanche at Invesco FieldI'd personally like to see the Avs host it at Coors Field, but that's just me - they'd sell out either stadium. However, it's got to be against the Red Wings. Just has to. The Avs have bad blood with the Canucks and with the Wild... but it doesn't come close to the Avs/Red Wings history. 2011 Colorado Rockies | Season from Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, if Ralph Wilson Stadium can host the event during the NFL season...only problem i have with a winter classic in cowboys stadium is that i've been to a titans/cowboys preseason game at the stadium, and anyone who claims that's an "outdoor venue" needs to slapped.it felt like a giant monster arena football game. the hole in roof looks just about the same size as texas stadium, in a venue that's 5x the size. it's pretty much a dome with a tiny oval hole hidden behind a giant scoreboard.

Last time Ottawa had a game on NBC, it was one of the lowest rated Stanley Cup finals in a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Flyers vs. Penguins at Heinz FieldWhile I love this idea, it wont happen at Heinz Field because the Steelers either will either be in the playoffs, and/or just plain wont allow it.It would more likely happen at PNC Park, which I actually would prefer, given the view of the skyline from there. If we're lucky, and it snows, then imagine the great photos.However it will probably be a while before the NHL lets one team be in it again, let alone two.

I simply just dont like the idea of an outdoor game at a baseball stadium. IMO the best place to hold it in DC would be RFK Stadium. I know its a dump, but its got the atmosphere and tradition of DC sports behind it. You can feel it when you walk in the place. Itll never happen cause its not shiny and new, but hey, one can dream right?

habsfan1 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 It's a bit funny how both jersey sets are Minnesota Teams. But both sets look fine and the WC logo is also nicely done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I like how it took five full posts for this thread to devolve from feedback on a concept to a million posts of "this team should play this team in this stadium!" I think that's a new record.Winter Classic Proposals* == Reel Line Mints*Referring to the stupid "rival a (who I'm a fan of) vs. rival b at some big stadium that I am close to" posts. Not an actual concept presented for feedback.As for feedback on the concept, I like the idea behind the Wild uniforms, but something about the shoulders just seems off. Maybe they'd be better with just green shoulders (since the current shoulder design kind of clashes with the perfect striping of the BP), or maybe "Rangers" style shoulders would work too. The current ones aren't bad, but they just jump out at me for some reason.

IceCap Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Looks good Cole, I like it. One thing bugs me though, the Wild throwbacks. I just don't see the need for Minnesota to create a fauxback when they already have two serving as their home and alternate sweaters. They could wear either of those and still look Winter Classic-like.

sergeimakarenkov44 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I agree with everything except the uniform. I think they would want to use the alternate they have right now or something that pays homage to some sort of classic sweater used by a team in Minnesota, rather than a variation of the barber pole sweater.
