The six-part Women's National Hockey League from Nick Burton continues this week with the Quebec City Wolves. From Nick on the origin of the design:

Québec Wolves/Loups du Québec — The team takes the color scheme of the Quebec Nordiques. The unused logo of the Nordiques was to be a wolf, so the team takes the name Wolves. The logo is an edited Minnesota Timberwolves logo.

Just one more team to go now. Check back next Wednesday for the finale. As for tomorrow... something "devilish" is in store.

Women's hockey will be the focus of the next six Wednesdays. Nick Burton presents his WNHL series, wherein he imagines a female pro hockey league and its Original Six franchises. This week we feature the Montreal Royals.

Nick writes: "Montréal Royals/Royals de Montréal — The Royals take their colour scheme from the Canadiens but darkened to make the team unique. The team name Royals is derived from the city name itself, which translates to Mount Royal."

With all the talk about the Sabres going gold with their new third jersey, you have to wonder what other teams might be able to pull it off. The Pittsburgh Penguins have done it before, but not quite like what Nick Burton had in mind. His concept borrows from the Pens' original third jersey from the '90s.

I never liked the black Reebok Edge jerseys the Flyers started wearing in 2007. But I almost always like anything Nick Burton submits. So this was tricky. A black Flyers jersey from Nick. Somehow, though, I like this one. It's all in the striping, of course. But it's a sharp look. Third jersey, anyone?

As long as we're looking back at defunct NHL franchises, how about Nick Burton's take on the Cleveland Barons? I could see something like this in today's NHL.
