0673: Stadium Jerseys Post-Mortem

Well, this one was going to be a "preview" of the Chicago Blackhawks' Stadium Series jersey. Back when Mike Ivall submitted it and I made plans to post it, the Hawks had yet to announce an unveiling date. Now we've seen it. So the cool thing about this that we can all appreciate together is just how close Mike came to nailing it!

Mike also sent in this one prior to the Rangers' unveiling yesterday. Not bad, though. What do you think of these two sets? Is either one better than the real thing?

0655: Ware's Stadium Sketches

Stadium Series Week continues today with a couple of submissions from Mat Ware. First is a set for the Soldier Field game between the Blackhawks and Penguins. Knowing that the NHL is going in a more modern direction with these uniforms, it's unlikely we'll see throwbacks like these on March 1.

The Ducks and Kings unveil their Stadium jerseys today. Here's a look at what Mat hoped to see for this game. Tomorrow we take a look at the New York Stadium Series games.

0638: Outdoors in the Windy City

I always get a kick out of seeing to different artists come up with unusual yet remarkably similar ideas independently. That's what we have for this Outdoor Saturday post. Newcomers Brendan Hennessy (above) and David Parkinson (below) saw the same old photograph depicting the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Black Hawks. It got them thinking about how the Soldier Field Stadium Series game could look.

So who do you think pulled it off better? Or do you like half of each? Both are very well done and could easily work for the big game if you ask me.

0612: If Nike Did the Blackhawks

What if Nike took over producing NHL uniforms? Based on reactions to this year's Olympic jerseys, I think a lot of you would be displeased. But here's John Elbertson's take on a Nike version of the untouchable Blackhawks' uniforms.

0599: Red Blackhawks

The Blackhawks already wear red, but not like this. Wade Herrmann shares his cool twist on the original Hawks' logo from the 1920s.

0595: Colorful Freak Out

Steven Grant has been working on a series to "de-Edge" the NHL — returning the jerseys to the days before 2007 when Reebok changed some things. But I can't say I'm a huge fan.

Steven wrote, "I haven't seen many concepts for the Blackhawks that use the colours from the logo in the striping, so that's what I tried here."

0585: By Dylan Alexander

Dylan Alexander is a frequent contributor with a distinct style and he's the next to be featured in this special week of concept posts. First we get a look at some third jersey options for the Blackhawks.

Next, we have Dylan's attempt at fixing the Hurricanes' new uniforms. He proves it's really a simple task. Put the storm flags back!

As a bonus, here's a college concept for the University of North Carolina. Dylan's done an awesome job giving the Tarheels a makeover. Looking forward to seeing what he tackles next.
