I'm launching a brand new theme week today! We have so many artists who are so prolific that I thought they deserved their own week right before hockey season starts. So each day we'll feature a trio of concepts from a specific designer, starting here with Bastian Schmülling. His Wild jerseys may look a little dingy, but they also look like instant classics.

The Flames could use a uniform simplification and Bastian has the perfect answer and the best use of black I've ever seen on a Flames concept.

Finally, the Ducks need a way to distinguish their palette from the Flyers and that gold just isn't cutting it. So how about green? Not the first time we've seen green and orange combined in an Anaheim concept, but certainly among the better examples.

Bastian still has a ton of work that's gone unpublished to date, but I'm working to rectify that. He's got a great eye for uniform design and I, for one, am always excited to see what new ideas he's come up with.

Few were impressed by the Carolina Hurricanes' new uniforms this summer. So a couple of our regular contributors to the Concepts page sent in what they thought would be great improvements. Brian Brideau rounds off the shoulder yoke of the white jersey and adds the storm flags back to both.

Meanwhile, Bastian Schmülling has a different solution. If the Canes just wanted more classic striping, why not make the storm flags a little more subtle? I'd say that would've been better than removing them entirely. Which of the two designs do you prefer?

This Stadium Series concept by Bastian Schmülling sort of walks the line of a Freak Out Friday, doesn't it? It's really sharp, but how many Islanders fans would support putting teal back in the uniform?

It's Thursday, so let's do a throwback. Bastian Schmülling is back with this mix of old an new for the Winnipeg Jets. What do you think? A smart third jersey when the day comes?

About six weeks ago, the Dallas Stars and Carolina Hurricanes treated us to their new looks. Both use silver/grey in the logos but not as a primary part of their color palette. That hasn't stopped these two artists from producing grey third jerseys for each — separately, of course. Bastian Schmülling came up with the Canes look while Mason Hesse did a little something for the Stars. What do you think? Should grey be the next odd color we see take over an NHL sweater?
