0701: Fixing the Ducks' Stadium Look

One week from today, the Ducks and Kings will take things outside for the first regular season NHL game to take place beneath the SoCal sun. And having just been down there a week ago, I can't imagine how they'll keep the ice icy. Magic, I presume.

Anyway, Dylan Wonka is back with a fix for the very orange jersey Anaheim will sport for their Stadium Series game. It adds — interestingly enough — a colored shoulder yoke and, hey, stripes! So one question: Better or worse than the real deal?

0694: NYC Stadium Showdown

With the Winter Classic behind us, the NHL Stadium Series is just around the corner. Check out these Rangers and Devils jerseys from Nick Burton. Would they make for a better looking outdoor game than the real jerseys?

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?

0666: Devilish History

If we couldn't get #666 to fall on a Freak Out Friday, I'd say an Outdoor Saturday is the next best thing. I'm pretty sure New Jersey won't surprise us with a new jersey for their 2014 Stadium Series game, but what about beyond? Daniel Stavina was inspired by an old hockey jersey on display at the Prudential Center.

This sweater was worn by an Eastern Hockey League team named the Jersey Devils between 1964 and 1973. Apart from the name, the team has no connection to the NHL franchise, but Daniel designed a jersey for use by the NHL's Devils in another Stadium Series or Winter Classic game by adapting the logo and incorporating the green used when the team arrived in New Jersey in 1982.

What do you think?

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.)

0657: Yankee Stadium Sketches II

Stadium Series Week is winding down with another day of New York-centric concepts. Matt Madore presents this set for the Rangers/Islanders meeting. It's so unusual to see that shield on a Rangers jersey, but it really works. As for the Islanders, that's a lot of stripes.

And the prolific Mat Ware imagines a more colorful assembly of these two teams. Orange is becoming a very popular base for jersey concepts these days. Think we need more orange jerseys around?

0656: Yankee Stadium Sketches I

It's Stadium Series Week on the Concepts page and Dylan Wonka gets us over the hump with three jerseys for the Yankee Stadium games. His take on the Rangers is unique but likely not accurate. The team will wear white with NEW YORK across the chest. Still, it's a clever use of an element of the Rangers' shield logo.

Next up is an Islanders proposal. I'm intrigued by the use of black striping on the primarily blue and orange sweater. But I have a feeling Long Island fans wouldn't warm to it.

And lastly, we have the Devils. So far we've been hearing the Devils will go with a throwback unlike the rest of the participating teams. However, they'll be wearing red instead of white. Look for them to sport the red and green number they've worn on St. Patrick's Day in recent years.

Meantime, what do you think of Dylan's designs? Any you'd like to see in action at some point?
