GOD do I hate having to work during so many Wings games. Looks like I'll have to DVR it. I'm very interested to see how the jerseys will look. Now if only we could get some damn ticket pricing info on the actual game!

I believe the Hawks games are on the "local" version of WGN, and that they won't be aired on WGN America.

Hmmm, well i think i probably get WGN local anyways, but ill be watching the FSN feed, thats bs that they wont show the Hawks nationally.

The Frozen Pond, which is a NHL memorabilia store in Toronto, sent me a flyer for the season. They have pictures of all the jerseys including the thirds that have been unveiled thus far. It also shows the Winter Classic jerseys. Chicago's looks to be a throwback to the mostly black jersey. The Wings, if this is true, will wear a white jersey with a red stripe across the middle with the while old D in the middle as the logo and the current logo is on each shoulder! So it seems to be a variant of the inagural jerseys.

Again, this is just speculation, but the Frozen Pond is a very reliable place. We will soon know for sure though!

I LOVE this jersey. But you can't find them for sale anywhere. I found one place for a ridiculous price and they were out of stock for over a year. Don't know if they ever got any in stock.

Hopefully they will release an original version and not a crappy EDGE version for Christmas.

EDIT: I'm referring to the original Cougar jersey, though this variation might be cool.

I see pre ordering is being mentioned, has anyone found this yet on places such as shop.nhl.com?

They'll be available online and in retail locations in December, according to the press release.

My only complaint is that the years don't match. Oh, and that jersey didn't actually have a lace-up collar.

Otherwise, freakin' sweet. THAT my friends is a retro jersey. Candy-cane stripes be damned. This is excellent. Props to the Blackhawks too.

Hurf durf, I get what you mean now

Overall I'm happy. Would have been BEST if they went with the original winged-wheel jersey (with the smaller logo/larger wheel) but it's s***loads better than the candy-cane ones they used in 1991-2. Just wish they didn't have the winged wheel logos on the shoulders, kinda tarnishes the vintage look.

Absolutely love it. I'd have a personal preference to reverse it (obviously since the Wings are the road team that's not possible), but that isn't going to stop me from grabbing one of these up. Ideally i'd do without the "Winter Classic" patch.

Love it!
