The theme for today's concept art is the Conference Finals! Just four teams remain and here are some fan-made jersey revamps for them. (And a bonus.)
And as a bonus (so I can round out this post with five pieces), here we have the Red Wings, the last team to be eliminated from the playoffs.
Coming soon, we'll take a look at what we might see for the 2012 Winter Classic. Send along your concepts!
It's weird. Last time I updated Concepts was only a week ago and the Lightning had just dispatched with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the playoffs. Now the Bolts are already moving on to the Conference Finals with a sweep of the Capitals! So much can happen in a week.
Now with a brief break in the action, I thought it might be time for a concept post that honors a playoff tradition — the white out. And it just so happens these are all Canadian teams.
If it seems my team's unlikely playoff run is resulting in fewer updates to the site, I won't argue with that. I fully expected to be enjoying the Stanley Cup playoffs from the sidelines. But with my team in the middle of it, I find it hard to spend my free time doing anything but cheering them on.
I'll do my best to keep the updates coming when I can.
Enjoy these new concepts for a handful of teams competing in the 2011 playoffs. More to come, of course.
My personal favorites are Brian's Ducks and Glen's Rangers designs at the top. And I do think the Canucks shoulder start moving toward Colin's concept. But I don't see any of those things happening very soon.
