0124: Superheroes Meet Hockey

It's not a hockey team. It's not even a sports team. It's Iron Man! Day 4 of No-Hockey Week brings us a series of sweaters that might be worn by the comic book superheroes we're all fascinated by. Jonathan Tweedle has designed jerseys based on the a couple of Avengers costumes.

Along with Iron Man, Jonathan provides a sweater for Captain America. Both are cool enough that I could see a minor league team doing a one-off special jersey night with something similar. We already Star Wars jerseys at least once a season.

It's not the National Hockey League, but a whole different kind of league. Nevill Carney designed sweaters for Justice League members Green Lantern, Batman, Superman, Robin and even the Flash (I'm predicting all the Lightning-related jokes you could possibly make and not finding any of them amusing). I particularly like the Batman jersey based on the costume from the '60s TV series.

There are still plenty more non-hockey hockey concepts to come this week.

The Flash = Better Tampa Bay Lightning jersey with better colours.

The Cpt. America Jersey looks great!

Hahah I laughed at Alberts comment, mainly cause it's true.

I strongly dislike the Iron Man jersey, but the Captain America jersey would be a good concept for the New York Americans (or "Would've been")

I enjoy how all of these jerseys have the characters' alter egos names on the back.

These look like shirts, not jerseys

Very cool, fun and creative. I would probably buy the Batman and Robin (although I prefer Dick Grayson over Tim Drake haha) set if someone produced them.

Great job!

The Capt. America jersey would actually look like something that a real hockey team could wear if you took out the lines from the paneling that were transplanted from the movie costume.

Dave's Geeky Hockey did these and better. I bought a Captain America jersey from him last month, and I'm getting an Iron Man jersey this month.

I think the Captain America jersey is spot on. I love it. I would really like to see some more for the rest of The Avengers. Thor would be a really good one to go with those. I also like the Iron Man jersey. It looks like the Mach VI armor. Keep up the good work!

I'd rather go with #99 for Bruce "Wayne" :P
