2023 NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park

DESCRIPTION

The NHL Winter Classic brings the nostalgia of outdoor hockey to the iconic Fenway Park where a classic rivalry, steeped in tradition plays out on the biggest stage. We helped adidas establish a creative direction that leveraged the unmistakable architecture and natural vintage patina of the stadium to transport us to a world where hockey, history, and nostalgia unite.

The minute you walk through the gates of Fenway, you feel the weight of history.

So it was obvious to us that we needed to shoot in a way that was reverent of the past. Warm, rich tones. Tactile. Celebrating every knick and scratch the stadium has seen over the years.

Our hero film centered on a Fenway groundskeeper, an old-timer who was witness to the past and could usher in the future. He literally opened the gates to the Winter Classic.
