This Sunday will be the second outdoor game that the NHL has held this year, this time being in Canada. The participants are the Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames and will be held at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. As of this writing, I do not have the weather report for Calgary on Sunday night, so please, don't ask. However, the jerseys that each team will be wearing this game have been revealed (for some time). Without further ado, here are the looks that each team will be sporting:
As you can see, the Canadiens are wearing essentially the same jersey, with the notable difference being in the numbers, in which the outline butts up against the numbering, as opposed to the current jerseys, which sees the red outline separated by some white before getting to the numbers. Montreal could have broken out any number of jerseys from its Centennial anniversary, and it would have been a marked improvement and at least, a A for effort. Calgary's jersey is an updated version of the Calgary Tigers team that challenged for the Stanley Cup in the 1920's. Now, for all intents and purposes, let's just say that Ronald McDonald was blown to pieces on this jersey and the jokes will write themselves. I don't know about you, but McDonalds should look into the Flames jersey as inspiration should they ever get into the hockey jersey business.
