0416: A Tribute to the Silver Seven

Anyone remember the old "Silver Seven" — the Ottawa Senators of olde? Of course not. You weren't born yet. But that hasn't stopped John Elbertson from created this tribute to the century-old club. I'm kind of intrigued by how good the silver looks in place of the gold in the logo.

Design notwithstanding, 1 star for giving Alfie #13.

I really like this. At first, I thought the silver jersey would work better as an alternate, but I think that as a road jersey, it's the most unique one I've ever seen. Good concept in my opinion.

i really like that grey jersey, not so much on the red but thats just me. the only problem i see with the grey jersey is by the end of warmups or the first period that jersey would look pretty gross with sweat.

Yeah what is with Alfie wearing number 13? Is there some historical significance? Was it simply a mistake? As a Sens fan, I demand to know.

Great concept, but Alfredsson wearing #13 probably classifies this as a Freak Out Friday Concept.

The grey reminds me of flannel Standfield underwear. Or the Yankee road unis from 1965.

Would love to see what the red one would look like in white as well. Can John do a Home and Away version of the red one with the normal logos?

Has the world gone crazy? Why am I the only one who thinks that silver jersey is absolutely hideous?

The red one is too stripey, the grey one looks like a cheap sweatshirt. Grey in the logo doesn't look bad though.

Fear not Eric, I agree...

Hideousness of the silver jersey aside, I actually really like the silver instead of the gold in the logo. I think that's the big win in this concept.

Not too bad, although when I saw the silver jersey the first time, I thought something went wrong with the fill tool; IMO it blends in with the background way too much.

I'm a big fan of the "Silver Seven" shoulder patch.

Wicked except for the silver jerseys. i hate the vertical OTTOWA on the jersey. Love the silver seven patch!
