Ohio, Ottawa, and Philadelphia

I have one jersey left to make and then I'll have all the teams completed.  Don't know what I'll do next.  Anyways, here are the next few teams.

Ohio Nationals:  When I was trying to make a concept for the Blue Jackets, I had zero ideas.  That, combined with the fact that the Blue Jackets haven't really done anything positive in their franchise history, convinced me to rename them.  I was considering Ohio Nationals or Ohio Patriots, both for Ohio's patriotic service to their nation during the Civil War.  For the logos I took the Ohio state outline from the Cleveland Barons logo, and the star and stripes from this logo.  I designed the jerseys to look "American".  Was this a good idea or a bad idea?


Ottawa Senators:  The home and road both feature a barber-pole pattern, but this time they're sublimated.  I also used the side profile logo as the primary logo.  The third jersey is my take on their heritage jersey.  The bottom stripe is inspired by this jersey.

Philadelphia Flyers:  I brought back the Flyers 1982-2007 jerseys as the home and roads.  For the third jersey I wanted to keep the Flyers traditional stripe running down the sleeve, but I wanted a new design.  The result is a black jersey with an orange sleeve stripe.

The next teams in the NHL Redesign are Phoenix, Pittsburgh, and San Jose, but I have a different post coming before that.
