0630: Super Shark Freak Out
Friday · Nov 8 · 2013 | 8:00 AM PST 15 Comments
Remember 14 years ago when the MLB decided to "turn ahead the clock" with some unusual jerseys? Bet you thought you'd never see it happen to the NHL. Then Dylan Wonka did this to the San Jose Sharks. Are you freaked out at all?

not a fan of the numbers, but other than that it's well done, even if it would be a bad idea on the ice
Can anyone say inaugural third jersey program sweater? This looks definitely something like the wacky alternate jerseys that were brought out in 1996, more like the Wild Wing and Burger King. And a very attractive design, too. I love this, especially as a person that sees that any crazy over-the-top design can still make for a great jersey. Teams have learned from their past that sometimes it can be taken too far, like the Kings original alternate, but in cases like this and a recent Preds concept, alternates can be as far-away from the home/away set as possible, and still look great.
Everything about this sweater is unique. The striping pattern (which on the left sleeve cleverly is blended with a wave-esque design), the enlarged shark logo, and the name and number font, all add up to a 5-star jersey. Maybe a shoulder patch would suffice...hm...since we're going all out here, perhaps...resurrecting this one?
It would make a nice pyjama top for the kids.
looks like when the MLB did the turn ahead the clock
DO MORE!
haha, super 90s I love it. Would be fun as a one-off special night thing.
I love this design. The only thing I would change is the numbers. The numbers look Klingon, or some sci-fi language.
Im not freaked out - this is freaking awesome!
If not for a third, it would make for a great novelty jersey, a one night only thing then auction off for charity thing?
I never want to see that in the NHL, but as one time thing for the Worcester Sharks it would be good.
This isn't futuristic, with the way things are going, the logos on the front of hockey sweaters will be even smaller than they are now to make room for all the advertising! I shudder to think of what those jerseys will look like...
If Dylan has time, this should become a weekly feature showcasing all 30 teams in the NHL doing a turn ahead the clock theme. Just my humble opinion.
Love this concept! Well minus those numbers but that's an easy enough fix.
Love it! Can we get a themed series of more Turn Ahead The Clock NHL sweaters?!
I loved it the first time I saw it on HJC, and I still do now! :)
I'm all for innovation; this goes too far for my tastes, however.
for a newer expansion team, this design works. I would like to see then use that as a 3rd
