NHL 2012 Winter Classic: New York Rangers Reveal Winter Classic Jerseys

The Broadway Blueshirts are taking on The Broad Street Bullies in the 2012 NHL Winter Classic.

The game will be held at Citzens Bank Park in Philadelphia, PA.

The rink is already under construction. A preview of HBO 24/7 was shown and the buzz is starting to ooze among fanbases. Up until today, the Rangers did not have a jersey release date. 

The Flyers unveiled their jerseys, and the Rangers followed suit today.

The New York Rangers announced the news on their official Facebook page. The Rangers revealed a jersey last season to celebrate their 85th anniversary in the league. The jersey was well received, as it modeled the Rangers’ traditional look with diagonal letters down the front of the jersey. This navy blue jersey instantly became a hit with the fans and I have a feeling this one will, too.

The Rangers revealed a cream jersey with traditional red and blue striping on the front and this old-time Hockey Rangers crest.

Here is a picture of the sweater.

This logo has been displayed all over the Rangers website on Winter Classic merchandise, but nonetheless, many counterfeits emerged.

The Rangers found a winner in my opinion. They look a lot better in person than the Internet fakes that circulated weeks ago. I know I will be buying one as soon as they are on sale.

What are your thoughts about the jerseys? Will you buy one? Are they great or do they suck?
