This marks the second Winter Classic at Fenway Park
The NHL on Wednesday unveiled the logo that’ll be used for the 2023 Winter Classic featuring the Boston Bruins and Pittsburgh Penguins at Fenway Park.
The event, sponsored by Discover, is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 2, 2023, and marks the second time the Winter Classic will take place at the home of the Boston Red Sox.
Check out the logo below, on the far left of the graphic.
The shades of green used for the logo are inspired by the outfield wall at Fenway Park, most notably the famous Green Monster in left field.
The yellow on the sides symbolize the ballpark’s foul poles, with the “2023” in the top left corner an homage to the distance markers on the outfield walls.
Even the lettering has a Fenway feel, with the NHL explaining the “Classic” letters represent a manual baseball scoreboard, like the one still used for Red Sox games in Boston.
The 2023 Winter Classic marks the fifth regular-season outdoor game for the Bruins, with the other Fenway Park event taking place in 2010. The B’s defeated the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in that game, with Marco Sturm scoring in overtime to give Boston the win.
The NHL on Wednesday also revealed logos for 2023 Honda NHL All-Star Weekend and the 2023 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series.
