We're wrapping up this week of concepts for past NHL clubs with this trippy idea. It's sort of a mix of the Thrashers and the team they became, the Jets — with the old Jets' colors. It's all very complicated and exactly what I look for in a Freak Out Friday post. Kudos to Ryan Yuck on that.

The New York Islanders have been back in the news recently with regard to a potential rebrand upon their relocation to Brooklyn in 2015. Will they align with the NBA's Nets and go black-and-white? I don't know, but I don't think Pete Stern has the best solution. Maybe if the front had a logo? But then this is a Freak Out Friday.

How about a Freak Out Friday for the New York Rangers? Jonathan Tweedle has merged a couple of old NYR logo designs to come up with this. And I'll be honest. It sort of frightens me.

The Ducks seem to be an easy mark for Freak Out Fridays. But I really love what Alan Moore has done both in terms of color scheme and adapting the logo from those classic Mighty Ducks movies. If not for the logo, I might make a case for these jerseys to one day hit the ice in Anaheim.

I know we're mostly hockey fans here, but does anyone recognize where Ted Noakes got his inspiration for this jersey design? It's a Freak Out Friday home run!
Antonio Calisto has a fascinating set of Stars uniforms to share — but since it has no actual connection to the team itself, I felt compelled to give it a Freak Out Friday placement. I mean, what's with the throwback that doesn't throw back to anything? The great thing about the Stars is they do in fact have a decent uniform history to draw on.
Finally, we wrap up our second solid week of Dallas Stars concepts with this from Johnny Woods. He even has this smattering of logos he's come up with. Certainly trying to be creative and I love to see that.

Well this Freak Out Friday falls right in the middle of the double-length Dallas Stars Week. So we've got a couple of Big D oddities. First, Ryan Yuck (that's pronounced YOOK) has this unique design featuring the Dallas Cowboys logo. And yes, cowboy boots with spurs. I wouldn't wear it, but maybe that's just me.
Gary Punzak has gone completely in another direction — going for a red, white and two-tone blue style. It's actually not a terrible look but the logos could use some sprucing up.

Yesterday we looked at a redesign of the untouchable Red Wings. Today, it's the similarly untouchable Canadiens. But unlike the former, the latter should really not be allowed to happen. Ever. Welcome to another Freak Out Friday. I applaud the great effort from Caz Williams, but I'm not sure a faux sash should be worn by the most historic franchise in the NHL.
