The Philadelphia Flyers formally introduced their 2012 Winter Classic jerseys on November 21 at a media event held in the Phillies clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia where the 2012 Winter Classic game between the Flyers and New York Rangers will be played on January 2, 2012. As I did for the formal announcement of the game itself two months ago, I decided to let my camera do the talking and present a few images of the event, the Flyers' Winter Classic jersey, and a number of the WC garments that the Flyers are making available for sale to their fans.
(NOTE: I posted this blog earlier today and right after I did the server hosting the pictures had a unrelated "meltdown" so I took the blog off till the server came back up because the pictures were not loading for anyone. Yet another "Victim of Technology"! Thanks for your patience.)
And so here they are ...
