The St. Louis Blues have the special opportunity to play in the NHL Winter Classic game this season on January 2nd against the Chicago Blackhawks. The Winter Classic is an experience for all players in the game, but particularly fun for the goaltenders, since they're able to customize special gear for the game.
Since the Blues are wearing their old school, original jerseys in the game, Blues' goalie Jake Allen decided he was going to stick with that theme and get vintage looking custom equipment made in the Blues' original colours.
