It's finally happening. The St. Louis Blues are hosting the 2017 NHL Winter Classic, the league's annual outdoor game normally occurring on January 1st. This coming year will actually be played on January 2nd due to NFL conflicts (which won't be happening in St. Louis...).
The Gateway to the West will play host to the Chicago Blackhawks, who will be playing in their fifth outdoor game since first playing in the "Classic" in 2009. This obviously is a call for a little controversy due to their overexposure on the NHL's largest stage, outside of the Stanley Cup Final.
The question now is what uniforms will be worn by the teams in the outdoor game. There are plenty of options available for the Blues, who have yet to play around with various alternate uniforms. The Blackhawks have had an away outdoor uniform in each of the past two seasons.

This is a great concept, by Tom Vopni, which I believe will be very close to what the Blues will wear come Jan. 2nd. I would probably guess their famous note logo will be added right below "Blues" on the front of the sweater.
As for the Blackhawks, I think a simple stripe change up and the inclusion of the pre-1960's logo would be perfect. This older looking Blackhawk is simply gorgeous and underused.

This would be a fantastic design and would definitely persuade me to make a purchase as soon as it came out.
Hockey fans in the Midwest have a lot of look forward to next season.
