For their 40th anniversary season, the Canucks sported their original 1970 uniforms a few times. Maybe for their 50th, they could try something like this. Fans — at least the ones here on Icethetics — have been begging to see the team in Millionaires uniforms at some point for as long as I can remember. So... what do you think of Matthew Henderson's option?

New series this weekend. I'm shelving the Winter Classic stuff for a while in favor of Retro Weekends! We'll save it for special throwback-inspired jersey designs like this one from Colin May. The colors call back to the Pittsburgh Penguins from the 1970s. It's actually a neat look.

Another Freak Out Friday is upon us, and as usual Ross Taylor has some brand-blending artwork to share. This time he's mixed the NHL's Calgary Flames with the WHA's Calgary Cowboys, a team that existed from 1975 to 1977. Funny enough, it kind of works.
By the way, after seeing Ross's brand-blended logos last week a few readers asked to see uniform designs. He listened. Go check them out.

Vintage Week wraps up today as Micah Loyed gives us Seattleites something to think about. He's resurrected the Seattle Metropolitans. Here's how he describes the design: "The main crest has a nod to the Supersonics but incorporating 'Seattle' in a manor that is a tad more legible than the beloved 'Seattle on the path of the S' design."
But wait, there's more...
This one is just a bonus. Micah also put together another Emerald City-inspired concept for us. Thoughts on the Seattle Warbirds?
Micah Loyed's Vintage Week is straying away from the NHL now to look back at a minor league team from the 1960s — one seemingly tailor-made for a vintage concept series. The Nashville Dixie Flyers played in the Eastern Hockey League from 1962 to 1971. They're known for their purple and gold uniform colors.

Vintage Week rages on with a fantastic retro-style Boston Bruins concept by featured concept artist Micah Loyed. The set even includes a 90th anniversary patch — an event which is still a couple of years off. Still, with great colors and a beautiful uncluttered design, I've yet to see anything bad from Micah in this series.

Last week I posted a Los Angeles Kings concept which, while I liked it, was widely panned by readers. As Vintage Week carries on, I've got another perhaps to make up for it. Micah Loyed's retro style jersey and logo designs are absolutely stunning in my opinion. If all of the design world starting working toward this type of look and feel, I think we'd all be better off. But then I may be alone in that line of thinking. What about you?
