0686: Freak Out '80s Style

Tampa/Vancouver Week wraps up with a Vancity freak out. Bryan Dyck is merging the Canucks' 1980s color palette with their new Johnny Canuck logo. It's pretty clever but I'm not sure I'd want to see it anywhere outside the Concepts page. (Note the yellow socks!)

See a pattern forming here? Todd Varga added the 1980s palette to the stick-in-rink logo. Again, makes for a neat jersey set, but probably not one we'd want to see on the ice anytime soon.

Newcomer Dallas Kirkpatrick is just scaring me now.

And finally, I was saving this one. Remember yesterday's Johnny Canuck set from John Elbertson? He included this yellow one as well but it fit so much better with today's theme.

0658: Stadium Freak Out

Thought it might be fun to wrap up Stadium Series Week with a good Freak Out. Bryan Dyck designed an L.A. Dodgers jersey for the Kings and an Anaheim Angels jersey for the Ducks. Count these among the things we're certain not to see at the game in January. (Then again, the Kings did wear this once.)

0603: Caps and Whalers

After we learned the Capitals will host the 2015 NHL Winter Classic, Bryan Dyck started thinking about who their opponent should be. How about the Carolina Hurricanes... as the Hartford Whalers? But as much as I loved Washington's Blue and Bronze Age, I'm not sure I can see them in anything other than the classic red throwback. Plus, it would make sense up against Whaler green. What's your take on this Winter Classic proposal?

Our Seattle Sunday series seems to be going quite well. So I'll keep it going as long as I have content to fill it. As we all wait for what is surely to be the next city to join the NHL, Bryan Dyck has a different take from the last two weeks. It's a sharp and colorful set that — despite a similar color scheme — is still miles away from Seattle's neighbor to the north in Vancouver. I might vote for a little more distinctive crest, but the colors are spot on. (And we still need a new name.)

0524: Buffalo No-Go

We end the week where it began: Buffalo. This concept by Bryan Dyck sort of walks the line in terms of Freak Out Fridays, though. It's not a bad design and strictly speaking it's not even that far into outer space. But the number on the chest and the oversimplified crest are not quite my cup of tea. Interesting idea, but I don't think it should be NHL-bound.

Our Winter Classic Weekends have been bleeding a little into Stadium Series territory. This week, we have Bryan Dyck's suggestion for the Rangers-Islanders game on Jan. 29, 2014 at Yankee Stadium.

We're taking a break from International Sundays this week for a look at what our concept artists are predicting for the Carolina Hurricanes' uniform unveiling on Tuesday. The team has released a series of teaser photos over the last 10 days and that's what a lot of these designs are based on. First up is a little something from newcomer Magnus Björk.

Kevin Mueller sees things slightly differently. This is his take.

And finally, Bryan Dyck came up with this — albeit earlier on during the Canes' teaser reveals. Which one do you think will end up being the closest to the actual design? Remember, the unveiling takes place Tuesday at noon ET.
