Winter Classic: 62 Days and Counting

The wait for this season's Winter Classic (Stateside version) is nearing two months exactly.  It should make a great late Christmas present for me to go along with the early Christmas present of seeing Agalloch twice two weekends before that.  Now, we know what the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals will wear for that game.

Pittsburgh's look for New Year's Day
As you can tell, the Penguins finally revealed their looks, and like the look of their Winter Classic in Buffalo, the Penguins went back to the baby blue retro look, though this time, the lighter blues are the secondary color to the navy blue that the Pens wore during their first years of existence.

Washington's look for New Year's Day
Washington's look is quite similar to what they wore during their first years as a franchise prior to 1995.  The jerseys are actually not too bad, but they likely should have thought out how to better fit the Captain and Alternate Captain designations better.  As you can tell, they have to battle the star motif for a spot on the jersey, which makes the jerseys look like a mess.

There's also going to be a Winter Classic in February for the folks in Canada, with Montreal and Calgary being the teams.  That will be covered as that Classic nears the date of February 20.
