I'd argue that the Winter Classic 'D' jersey for Detroit is the most "Winter Classic" of all these jerseys. Look up practice sessions from their first season in the league. They'd regularly practice on outdoor rinks wearing these jerseys. Paired with the striped socks, it's a very classic look.
My top three would be 09 Wings, 14 capitals and 1 the 2016 bruins jersey, it became an alternate for a while, because of how good it looked. I would love to see that come back at some point.
That original Sabres jersey may look not very creative, but I’m pretty sure at the time there was a different logo than the one we see today… so this really was a throwback just it doesn’t look like it today
Detroit should use that "D" Winter Classic jersey as a alternate during the season. Same w/Chicago - that 2-tone jersey is incredible, as is the red & black one w/cream/vintage white .... And the Habs one is better than their current white one....sick !
I love when leagues issue special jerseys like NHL's Winter Classic/Stadium Series & NBA back in the early 2000s when they did those Xmas Day jerseys w/the festive ornament font PS Coyotes should host a Winter Classic with an area for sun bathers
One design element i can not stand is the skinny shoulder yokes, as introduced by the 2020 Stars WC jersey. Minnesota wore it in 2022, Boston and Pittsburgh both did it in 2023, and Vegas is doing it as well. The Leafs 2022 Reverse Retro uses them too. It is sooooo unnecessary and looks horrible!
As a Bruins fan, the Rangers 2018 Winter 🥶❄️ Classic is my favorite. I’ve been looking to buy one, but have been unable to find it. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I can find one, please do tell.
Shocked that bruins is 1. I love the jersey but I prefer the bruins 2016 jersey. Canadiens 2016 jersey is one of my favorites of all time(I am a bruins fan).
There is a little context into the Flyers 2010 jersey though. It was the first time they used that particular style jersey in almost 30 years, yes they switched to that after the 2010 season. Up to that game though this jersey was not used.
Someone that owns the Metropolitans rights and the Kraken are in a lawsuit. So I doubt we see another Kraken jersey in the Metropolitans look for a long time.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Neil I hope you keep making videos for a good while. Can you reply to this comment Neil because my birthday is tomorrow?
Honestly, if you told me that 2023 Pens jersey was a Predators jersey, I would believe you. The black could easily be a very dark navy blue, and the stripe on the back of the neck screams NASCAR more than Pittsburgh's flag.
Respect your right to have an opinion yet wholeheartedly disagree with your opinions. When it comes to winter classics, the Red Wings and Penguins do it best. Shame to have either Red Wings so low, let alone both. Both are objectively top 5 for different reasons.
I wish the Red Wings would wear one of their W.C jerseys as a 3rd. Both utter beauties!!
Especially the white from 2009,with red helmets
The Pittsburgh Penguins jersey with just the "P" is a throwback to the old Pittsburgh Pirates hockey team of the 1920s.

I’m a B’s fan, very partial to the yellow 2010 sweater. But, I think the 08 Penguins take the cake. Love those baby blues.
Leafs 2014 sweater is probably my favorite.
I'm a sucker for stripes.
Although the crest isn't my favorite Leafs logo it's probably my runner up
That 09 Winter Classic by the Wings would make a great alternate
I agree. Not sure why he doesn't like it that much.

All-time fav has to be the Red Wings 2009, followed by Bruins 2010, Flyers 2012, and maybe Seattle cuz of the history behind it.
That secondary shoulder patch on the Predators sweater is amazing.
I wish they would release a third sweater using that patch as the crest
I'm a Canadiens fan, love the 2016 set but i like the solid orange jerseys the Flyers wore with the black shoulder yolk
The black and white Hawks jersey and the Wild one are easily my favorites.
Heritage classic next? I want to see what you think of the new oilers one!
Merry Christmas Neil! ❤
I absolutely love this video, I love the winter classic jerseys

Happy Holidays!
I don't care for the Veges jersey, it seems like they didn't even try.
What up bud new subscriber here. Love your content. Keep it up!

They're on eBay.
I wish the Leafs would use their Winter Classic jersey again
I'm just here to say that St. Louis should use both the off-white and powder blue uniforms as their main uniforms. Both are simply beautiful
That's a stretch. I like the off white. But don't want it full time.
I'm guessing the leafs/wings centennial will be in the heritage classic or stadium series lists? 🤔
powder blue penguins #1 and the hawks black and tan #2. the rest can go wherever imo
This is 100% a bias statement: The 2014 Red Wings Winter Classic jersey is the best Red Wings jersey of all time.
Nah
Those fulgy ass practice jerseys
@@mikes7446 no, the one that looked like a practice jersey is the first detroit reverse retro jersey. The 2014 Winter Classic jerseys are goated.
100% agree. Great mix of classic and modern feel. The diamond 'A' and 'C' patches, plug that retro logo... oooooo baby.
I'm a Devils fan and that one is one of my all time favorite jerseys
Let’s go love these rankings

I think my favorite is the wild jersey

11:00 seattle couldn't use the actual seattle metropolitan jersey because they couldn't get the rights to it.
The one that should be there is the cranberry colored Vancouver Millionaires...
That wasn't a Winter Classic event. Which is what this ranking is specifically for.
The golden knights colour, os like if Pittsburgh actually tried with the terrible off golden colour jersey.
5:01 'MPLS.' across the nipples.
"Go for a walk of something" XD XD XD
The fugly edition?
Hmm… I would say 1. Kraken 2. Bruins
Let’s go bruins
Ole ole ole ole, ole, ole
Washington Burgundy home jersey was the best
I would not spend over 100 for that fugly Minnesota jersey
there is no other way to say this your rankings are not good
How would your ranking be different?
Honestly, if you told me that 2023 Pens jersey was a Predators jersey, I would believe you. The black could easily be a very dark navy blue, and the stripe on the back of the neck screams NASCAR more than Pittsburgh's flag.
Agreed also, the yellow helmet that goes with it is just horrible looking. Needs to be black or the Color on the jersey they used
You put a plain B jersey as #1? Horrible Neil, hope you feel better
I can’t tell if you’re serious or not
I agree. I have no idea why some pretend it's so amazing. It sucks.
Minnesota Jersey looks alot better with the rest of the uniform and that picture of it was crap
2012 rangers>>>
The Montreal Canadiens absolutely suck at playing hockey! Hahaha Lmao! 🤣🤣🤣

First
2020 Stars - the worst. Also, I can't stand throwback styles for franchises that are just a few years old. It seems forced.
Stars have been around since '67. What I do think is that they should've used their Winter Classic sweaters to reference their North Stars days
