Let's Make Another IceHL Jersey! Part 3
Monday · Feb 4 · 2013 | 10:38 AM PST
Icethetics recently launched a new partnership with RinkGear.com — a partnership which led to the production of the Milwaukee Lagers IceHL jersey! Now the guys at RinkGear are ready to produce a second design from the IceHL fantasy hockey league!
We're now conducting a series of polls to determine which team will be done next. The most popular design will become a reality — just like the Lagers jersey did.
Start voting now! The FINAL round begins Thursday.

The two winning jersey designs will face off in the final round.

Quebec City, Winnipeg and Hartford... what do those markets have in common? :) It's funny how things work out.
North Carolina could even fit into that relation in some way too.
Would love to see the two without current NHL franchises battle it out!
Are people voting by city? I am so surprised a couple of those ones keep getting selected. I would have loved to see the green jersey, I think it was the Aviators.
Dude... there's 3 without NHL teams.
Please vote for Nighthawks and Mariners! Winterhawks and Armada jerseys are the most over-rated in the league!
arrgh, first you put my 1a fave guardians vs my 1b fave quebec in the qtr finals, now quebec is losing to NC? awww maaaan...
I just don't see the allure in the Winterhawks jersey... :S
Battle of the hawks!! Nighthawks are going to win!
I don't understand why people like the nighthawks jersey so much, I hate it.
A little off topic, but when does the re-brand/relocation stage begin? And are all of the teams going to be getting third jerseys?
Austin: As stated in the Yearbook, the relocation/rebranding process will begin in the spring. My plan is to get things going as the IceHL's regular season starts wrapping up.
One thing I didn't mention in the book regarding third jerseys is that only 13 teams will be getting them this year. You know, 13 thirds in 2013 — so it's only a slightly arbitrary number. (More teams will get thirds next year.) This year's design contest will take place in late summer or whenever we complete rebranding/relocation.
A series of polls will determine the 13 teams that get thirds in 2013. Our expansion teams and all relocated or rebranded teams will be exempt as they'll be getting home and road uniforms this year.
I should put all that in a blog post some time.
North Carolina Nighthawks jerseys would not come out very good.
Would love to see the Mariners. I'd purchase one.
Finn...both Winnipeg (Jets) and North Carolina (Hurricanes) have NHL teams. Quebec and Hartford do not.
I like the Mariners logo but I'm on the side of more originality in jerseys that the other 3 represent, I know a lot of simplistic purists will disagree
The last winning jersey featured the double blue color scheme. Just like Milwaukee, both Hartford and Winnipeg's uniforms are dark blue with light blue trim. And while Quebec's is a white jersey, they follow this pattern by having two shades of blue in their striping as well.
Time for everyone to help break up this trend and vote for the Nighthawks!
I have to agree with Brian M. It is sad to see the Aviator Green was eliminated. It incorporated a similar design to the Quebec team but with more unique colours.
I think people are held up on the Quebec jersey due to its similarity to the Quebec Nordiques Jersey (fleur de lie/light blue), which is unfortunate because you can just buy one in any hockey store. Plus Hartfords is pretty similar to the Sabres vintage jersey's (just a darker blue with light blue accents).
Don't get me wrong they are nice jerseys with great logos. I was just a huge fan of the Aviator Ones. Maybe 3rd times a charm?
I'm surprised the nighthawks have made it this far, it was a vote of which jersey I hate least between them and Quebec.
Hartford all the way!
