While writing the piece about Ryan Nugent-Hopkins this morning, it didn't dawn on me that a) Sidney Crosby was making his season debut tonight, and b) the Philadelphia Flyers were unveiling their Winter Classic jerseys today. The Crosby debut will be covered tomorrow, since I would like to be able to talk about whether he can contribute this season without fear of another concussion. Right now, it's about the Flyers and their not-so secret design. As you can see, the overall design doesn't deviate much from the Flyers' other designs, which is to say that the Flyers could have thought of something completely different. The major difference here is their more frequent use of black on an orange jersey as opposed to their all-black oddities of the late 90's to 2008. Having said that, Flyers fans should be okay with this design, and certainly, the sock designs that inspired the striping is a nice change of pace that is subtle enough to go unnoticed by the casual fan.
Now, when are the Rangers going to unveil their Winter Classic duds? It's a little more than a month away, and the longer they wait, the more money that will be lost from sales.
