Are you excited to see the New York Rangers jerseys for the 2018 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic?
Well, keep on waiting. The Rangers teased their fans a little with a fake jersey reveal on Twitter on Monday. During the bit, longtime Rangers equipment manager Cass Marques, who has worked over 1,500 games with the team , introduces himself and says he is excited to reveal the jerseys.
"As a matter of fact I have it right here," Marques says. As he looks down and appears to hold up a jersey, a clothing rack goes by obstructing the view, a gag right out of an Austin Powers movie. "Wow! Look at the color," Marques deadpans. Sorry guys, we are all going to have to wait a little longer.
