0199: 8-Bit Hockey Sweaters

This is your typical hockey uniform concept. It's a little different. Al McCready likes to create 8-bit artwork. He also likes hockey sweaters. Think that's all you really need to know. Thoughts?

There's more where that came from. Check out Al's Tumblr for the rest of the league!

Al's not done yet. Now he's made white road jerseys for all 30 teams.

where's the rest of the teams? this is way too sweet

[B. Hesse]

The Leafs player looks exactly like Dion Phaneuf. Not sure if that's a coincidence, but these are really cool either way.

interesting to see which teams got guy's with beards. love it though!

[Matt H]

B. Hesse, no it's not a coincidence. Philly is Hartnell, Winnipeg is Ladd, Boston is Thomas Pittsburgh is Crosby, LA is Carter etc.

[Al Creed]

ACTUALLY, Philly is a self portrait. :D

Also, I've since updated this image, and drawn EVERY TEAM, plus a few extras! http://alcreed.tumblr.com/post/29411246676/here-they-are-all-in-one-place-all-thirty-nhl

so I wonder is the Rangers guy Callahan?

[B. Hesse]

@MattH I could tell many of them looked sort of like players, but was unsure. However, with Phaneuf I was just so positive. His face is basically 8-bit.

Is the 8-bit Cowboy Bill Flett in the Flyer sweater?

[Ricky Mazella]

Speaking of look-a-likes, it appears that The Great one is among us in his Oilers sweater.

Maybe that's Steve Yzerman in the Red Wings kit too.
