NHL Outdoor Game Jersey Tier List

I originally had this idea back during the Stadium Series weekend when I was looking at the jerseys and comparing them to jerseys of outdoor games past. So I decided to put all the different jerseys NHL teams have worn for every outdoor game since 2003 onto a tier list (excluding the 4 jerseys that were worn in the 2 games at Tahoe, since each team just wore their reverse retro jersey and they weren't special jerseys for the event).

Some of these are absolutely gorgeous, and some are flops. I've organized them into tiers of how good they are, and an important factor in my rankings is creativity - whether or not something was original and distinct for the event or a copy of a current/former jersey had a significant impact on what tier it went in. And a note that I am only rating based on the jerseys themselves, and I'm not judging any accompanying pants, helmets, gloves, socks, etc. All of these ratings are scientific and 100% correct.

All of these pictures were taken from the NHL Uniform Database website. This is also where I looked at each team's jersey history to see which outdoor game jerseys were just a copy of another jersey.

And a note that the Coyotes, Blue Jackets, and Panthers do not have any entries on this list since none of them have ever participated in an outdoor game. (Though this will soon change! Looking forward to seeing what the Jackets do for their Stadium Series jerseys next year. And tbh they really need to give the Yotes and Panthers an outdoor game 'cause I think those teams would make some pretty nice jerseys.)

Detailed list of which exact jerseys these are (team and event) are included under the cut for reference.

Jerseys listed from left to right as seen in the image above.

Amazing - Washington Capitals 2015 Winter Classic, Minnesota Wild 2022 Winter Classic, Seattle Kraken 2024 Winter Classic, Vancouver Canucks 2014 Heritage Classic, Ottawa Senators 2014 Heritage Classic

Alright, corporations at Pride has reallllly gotten out of hand. The parade was 99.9% banks, campaigning politicians and various other businesses that do absolutely nothing for queer rights. Ah yes, National Grid and National Fuel, they'll cut anyone's utilities regardless of their identity, how woke of them🤦‍♂️ There were still some very cool, non corporate floats in the mix, but it seriously felt like 0.1% of the total parade

The event afterward was bad. It was POURING rain and quite cold, but they fucking confiscated everyone's umbrellas at the gate, plus backpacks, and outside food and/or drink. I luckily had a raincoat I could wear, but I forgot to get my umbrella back... and my friend's backpack they had to leave at gate got stashed Outside of the tent and just got fucking soaked the whole time:/ I'm assuming the umbrella thing was so we'd have to buy some overpriced Gay Umbrella inside, but I literally didn't see a stand selling them

Uhhhh the event had some cool stuff - the tent with drag performers was there again, for one - but it was hard to enjoy anything when we were FREEZING OUR ASSES OFF WITHOUT AN UMBRELLA IN THE POURING RAIN!!! Like I'm... ugh I'm just still really pissed about it

Anyway, I'll probably go to the parade again next year just to see all the queer folks gathered, but am definitely saying Fuck It to the event. I've heard of cities having an 'anti Pride' which is a more raucous, cop and corporation-free parade, and yah... I get it:/

Happy Thursday beautiful people! I'm pleased to tell you that a print of my "Yellowstone" piece will be available in the Greater Yellowstone Coalition's 40th Anniversary Silent Auction to help raise funds for the charity. This is always important, but particularly right now as they attempt to raise money to help fight a gold mining operation right on the border of the park, which would threaten numerous species.

Bidding on their available items begins May 31st and ends one week later.

Here's a link to my piece, and from their auction site you can find you way, if desired, to the main page where you can learn about the wonderful work of this organization that does so much on behalf of our magnificent Greater Yellowstone ecosystem and all of her denizens.

My particular piece is printed on Entrada bright rag fine art paper and in a gallery quality 24 X 30 frame.

A Killer Blizzard Convinced People to Restore the Bison Herds

A Killer Blizzard Convinced People to Restore the Bison Herds

Bison Power Bison may be the largest North American animal in North America, and that’s part of why they are celebrated every November 2.  As you may expect, they are the stars of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. If you don’t believe me, just look where cars are stopped and cameras are clicking.  And it was a killer blizzard that gave life to bison when their herds were nearly wiped out in…
