0204: Flyers Classic Flashback

The second half of this Winter Classic Weekend is for a bit of a flashback. Ryan Haslett designed and submitted this concept last year for the 2012 Winter Classic between the Flyers and Rangers. Admittedly, it's not far off the mark from what the actual jersey looked like but you can see where his inspiration came from — the old Philadelphia Ramblers. Think it's a step up or not?

0203: Winter in the Midwest

Got a couple of items to share on this Winter Classic Weekend, but we're looking beyond 2013 for this one. If recent history is any indication, the Blackhawks will soon find themselves back in the outdoor spotlight, and when they do, Wade Hermann suggests they sport something like what we see above.

As a bonus, we have this update to a Blues concept posted last month. Chance Waddell originally designed a blue one but has since added a vintage white version to match.

0202: V

That unforgettable Canucks jersey from the '80s comes back with a color palette that's even older. When Shane Bua sent this in, I knew it was destined for a Freak Out Friday.

0201: Stars Re-Bourne

The next installment of Andrew Bourne's series of NHL makeovers features the Dallas Stars without a touch of green or gold in sight.

Dallas has one of the worst jersey sets in the NHL. The jersey is very plain and actually seems to try and mimic the jerseys of the main sport in Dallas, football. Although I understand that it is hard to get people to watch an unconventional sport in a warm city, there are other ways to grab a Texan's attention.

I wanted to utilize the Texas state flag (red, white & blue). Trying not to make a political team, I adjusted the red to a bit of a more deep red and the blue to be a bit darker than that of the blue on the US flag. I added yellow to the color scheme to try and have a feeling of a star. After all, the team is called the Stars. The yellow definitely gives the whole scheme a unique feeling and sets it apart from another patriotic color palette.

0200: Nordiques Reboot

The milestone 200th consecutive Icethetics Concept of the Day features none other than the Quebec Nordiques. Alex Valvo is among those who think that team is destined for a reboot just like the Winnipeg Jets. But will the Coyotes be the next victim of relocation?

0199: 8-Bit Hockey Sweaters

This is your typical hockey uniform concept. It's a little different. Al McCready likes to create 8-bit artwork. He also likes hockey sweaters. Think that's all you really need to know. Thoughts?

There's more where that came from. Check out Al's Tumblr for the rest of the league!

Al's not done yet. Now he's made white road jerseys for all 30 teams.

0198: Calgary's Black Flashback

Remember when the Flames used to wear a black jersey with a fire-breathing horse on the front? Ryan Haslett does and he's based today's concept around it.
