In honor of the Predators' forthcoming gold home jersey — a first in the NHL in decades — here are some yellowish uniforms designed by our Icethetics concept artists.
Still anticipating a Winnipeg Jets post before the team officially unveils their new logo and uniforms, but oddly, not a lot of concepts coming in at this point. You know how to reach me!
Not to rub it in, but once again, if all is going to plan, I should be docked in Jamaica right about now. Anyway. I don't keep a tally of what teams get the most love from our concept artists. But if I did, I'd wager the Ducks must be right at or near the top of such a list. I guess there's just something about the Ducks brand that makes everyone want to rebrand them. So today I present some of the many attempts at fixing the look of Anaheim hockey.
Has there been another NHL team since the '90s expansion with such an automatically identifiable color scheme? When you see that combination of eggplant and jade, you instantly know what it represents. The next closest thing might be the black, silver and blue of the Lightning — and even that's going away now. But I digress. Another set of concepts will auto-publish on Friday morning if I've set up everything properly.
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.
