Winter Classic uniforms revised

With the 2012 Winter Classic taking place in a Major League ballpark, it would only be fitting for the NHL to throw The Hockey Uniform Database a curveball. When the Winter Classic uniforms for both the Flyers and Rangers were initially unveiled, the cut of the jerseys was the pre-Edge style, with straight arms and a straight tail hem. But when the two teams took to the ice at Citizens Bank Park, their jerseys were in the current Edge style. So here for your viewing pleasure are the real uniforms of the 2012 Winter Classic. The Rangers did not wear special pants for the game (they wore their regular pants), so that's why they're not included in the image. Also, for nostalgia purposes, I'm keeping the original images on the original blog posts.
