0156: Affiliate Swap

This summer the AHL's Syracuse Crunch and Norfolk Admirals swapped NHL affiliates. So that's our theme for today's concept post. First, Dave Campbell put together a pair of jerseys for the Crunch, who recently unveiled a new logo after announcing a new agreement with the Tampa Bay Lightning. These blue and grey sweaters could work really well!

Meanwhile, the Admirals hooked up with the Anaheim Ducks in the aftermath. They've announced no intentions to redesign their logo or uniforms, but if they did, Justin Nahhas has a really neat look in mind. The only fault I can find is that the crest is almost unreadable. Could use a little more contrast. Otherwise, we have a couple of nice sets today.

0155: Rollin' on the River

It's been a while since our last Minor League Week and the concepts are starting to pile up. The AHL's Peoria Rivermen are currently holding a jersey design contest. When Gianluca Baggetta came up with his new look, he sent it along to Icethetics as well for all of us to enjoy.

0096: Roadrunners Resurrected

Minor League Week is wrapping up this time around with the old Phoenix Roadrunners of the ECHL. Ryan Haslett put together this new look for the defunct team and I thought it was worth sharing. Tomorrow is Friday so that means Ross Taylor is back again. Want to guess which team he has in store this time?

0095: Chicago Canucks

I know it's Minor League Week, but this just has to be wrong in so many ways. Alan Moore's Chicago Wolves look a lot like the Vancouver Canucks of the '90s. Of course that's by design but it's still a strange sight to see. And just for fun, he threw in a couple of alternate designs.

0094: Nashville Admirals

During the last Minor League Week, we got a look at what would happen if certain teams redesigned their uniforms to look more like their NHL affiliate. The Milwaukee Admirals' parent club is the Nashville Predators so Ricky Hajduk shows us what that would look like.

0093: Redesigning Rockford

The concept art keeps coming in so it's time for another Minor League Week here at Icethetics. We're getting started with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs. Dylan Alexander says he was always a fan of the team's old "pig butt" logo so he's brought it back for this set of sweaters.

But that's not all...

Benjamin Boese wanted to try something a little simpler as an alternate jersey for the IceHogs. What do you think of these two sets?

0047: Solar Bears Prelude

We wrap up Minor League Week with the team that's next in line to unveil their new uniforms in the real world. In five days, the Orlando Solar Bears jerseys will be officially released. Until then, we have Petr Augusta's take on what we might expect to see. There's seriously no mistaking those colors for any locale other than Florida.

Hope you guys enjoyed Minor League Week; we'll do it again soon. Tomorrow, Ross Taylor continues his domination of the Freak Out Friday with a couple of new NHL sets.
