You chose; the Waddell Brothers delivered. Last week, Dylan was first to comment and asked to see the Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators next in our new Winter Classic series. So here they are. Chance and Jake have designed faux-back jersey concepts for all 30 teams. You've now see 10 of them.
Which two teams are next? This week, you have to be the third person to comment. (That doesn't mean comment three times under different names. I will ignore those.)
It's another Freak Out Friday, but this may just be stretching the limit of what's considered a hockey concept. Still, when Bryan Dyck sent me these race car designs, they were hard to ignore. Not to worry though, we'll be back to jersey concepts in short order.
Ever since their Winter Classic appearance, I've always wanted to see the Boston Bruins bring back a gold third jersey. Here's a neat option from Justin Wiltron, which borrows the bear from the team's secondary logo.

Today we have the next installment in Andrew Bourne's NHL makeover series. Here he tackles the Vancouver Canucks but he's done my least favorite thing — he dropped the green.
This was hard because I really love the jersey set and color scheme put in place by the current owners but also really love the old V uniforms that Vancouver used in 80's. So, instead of just mailing it in, I pushed myself to push The Canucks design to the edge of Seizure-Town.
Right away, I condensed the color scheme to two colors. A lot of V's and a lot of colors with make you want to puke. The large striping appears to be cut or broken up to really show that V in the body of the uniform. With that break, you can really see the V and the C work together. The alternate jersey already has a V on the chest so, I made some angled striping along the sleeves and body of the jersey. Why 3 stripes, you ask? Three trips to the Stanley Cup Finals. Would the stripes actually look good on the ice? I'm not sure, but it looks interesting enough on paper - er... computer screen.

Ryan Haslett has a pretty unique look for the Colorado Avalanche. The numbers are especially cool.

It looks like we're going to have Dallas Stars concepts here at least once a week. With the team actively looking to rebrand, it makes sense that a lot of what's coming my way revolves around the Stars. Kris Lutes offers up this throwback to the pre-Reebok Edge era and uses the team's AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars for inspiration.
