Yeah you’d think by now they would have released them to get the orders in by the game

Expectation


Reality

A quick Google tells me they unveiled the jerseys for the 2019 Heritage Classic on September 13, 2019. The game against Winnipeg was October 26th.

So if they follow that pattern, which is likely, we'll see the jerseys around the same time this year if not a few days later.

Yeah, that's where I'm at. The game is like 3 months away. If they wait till camp it's only one month give or take.

Is there any word yet about intermission entertainment?

I'm not sure what the problem of having Nickelback singing during intermission would be.

It would just be very Edmonton.

Look, I'd be there drunk and singing along too. But also I live in Edmonton.

Still hoping for cream white jerseys ideally with some homage to the Men's Senior team Stampeders, who won the Allan Cup in Edmonton in 1946.

Also, the team logos for the Winter Classic were leaked:

Alas no. I still have standards.

Apparently Commonwealth Stadium leaked the logos for the Heritage Classic today.

Ryan Pike tweeted that no alumni game or any other pregame.

Black and yellow eh? A little Calgary Tigers nod?

Some sort of spoked circle around the Flaming C?

Hardly accurate color reproduction at that dump of a stadium.
If that's taken literally, the Flames are pink and yellow, Oilers have a pink oil drop and dark red trim.

Off white/cream jerseys, a color other teams have used for outdoor games, and a homage to the Calgary Stampeders Allan Cup winning team in some manner (they beat Edmonton on the way to that win) and call it a day...but it doesn't look like thst with some random background behind the plain circular logo.
