This Stadium Series concept by Bastian Schmülling sort of walks the line of a Freak Out Friday, doesn't it? It's really sharp, but how many Islanders fans would support putting teal back in the uniform?
Two Freak Out Fridays ago, I shared a couple of concepts from my childhood — proving that my fascination with this part of hockey goes back a very long way. But enough of you were amused by my scribblings that I thought I'd offer up another set. I wouldn't call this a concept, though, so much as a hand drawing of the Islanders' fisherman jersey. As a kid, I thought it was the coolest thing. Now? Well, let's just say my tastes have changed somewhat.
I'm sure you're wondering what in the world this is. My youngest brother Mark, who was eight years old at the time, was captivated by the two newest teams in the NHL — the Hurricanes and Predators. So much so that he created a Franken-jersey, mixing the two together. Unfortunately, he did it backwards because I would've been more interested the saber-toothed hurricane (Syfy movie idea!) than whatever this is. But cut him some slack. It was a lot of years ago.

It's Thursday so we're likely to get another "sneak glimpse" of the Buffalo Sabres' new third jersey. In that spirit, how about a pair of predictions? Jeremy Roney thinks he has a pretty good idea of the final product. Think he's on the right track?
Then we have another guess from the prolific Brian Brideau. To see how much his prediction has changed in five weeks, check out this post from last month.

Brian just sent in a revised version of his Sabres prediction. Think he's close?

Nick Burton's six-part series on a fictional women's hockey league picks up today with the Toronto Metros. How do you think the league is shaping up so far?

The Minnesota Wild are unveiling their new road jersey by bits and pieces this week, with the full reveal coming Sunday. While we wait, here's what Jeff Kiesel is predicting. Not unlike the third jersey in style but with the full primary logo on the front just like always.

Anyone interested in seeing the Flyers bring back black for alternate jersey purposes? Brendan Anderson has a neat idea for one. And it involves a white version of that classic logo. Yay or nay?

Well, I said I was tired of posting Seattle Metropolitans concepts. Mark Morgan was tired of it too. So he imagined a new team named the Seattle Sea Otters. (Try saying it a bunch of times in a row.) I will say this: I love the colors!
