Tell us something we don't know.

On Feb. 16, The Athletic ranked the best and worst jerseys from the NHL's outdoor games - from the Winter Classic to the Stadium Series and beyond - and the Blues' 2017 Winter Classic kit was rated the second best all-time. It joined the Pittsburgh Penguins' powder blue sweaters from the 2008 Winter Classic as the only jerseys to get a perfect 10 score from any of the writers.

A version of those uniforms have since become the Blues' alternate jerseys and are worn during Saturday home games.

"You know a specialty jersey is good when it becomes a part of the regular rotation," The Athletic's Chicago Blackhawks reporter Mark Lazerus said.

Sadly, The Athletic did not include the Blues' 2022 Winter Classic jerseys, but they can redeem themselves in 2025 as the club will get another new uniform when they play the Blackhawks in the 2025 NHL Winter Classic at Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs. It will be the third outdoor game in Blues history and second such meeting with Blackhawks.
