Ducks and Oilers Guest Concepts, and an Avalanche Concept

Anaheim Ducks, by Jake88:
We have a couple of alternate jersey concepts by Jake88 for today's post.  As you can see the first concept is an orange third jersey for the Ducks.  For a long time I didn't think the Ducks should have an orange jersey, but since I've seen their Stadium Series jersey I've changed my mind.  The striping looks nice, Jake88 did one thing that I think is very important in a Ducks concept which is keeping the gold from touching orange in the striping.  I'm not a big fan of the shoulder yoke, in my opinion if a shoulder yoke has a sharp corner then the outline shouldn't go all the way around (look at the Blues pre-edge jerseys if you don't get what I mean), and I'd rather it didn't cut up to avoid the Reebok logo in the back.  The number font also isn't my favourite, as I think the angled part of the four is too thin.
Grade:  B

Edmonton Oilers, by Jake88:
Now this concept was Jake88's entry into HJC's Steel Drop Competition held a few weeks ago.  I love the modern striping, it works great with modern Steel Drop logo.  I especially like the stripes on the front of the yoke.  The "OILERCITY" hanger effect is also really cool, it's great when concepts have little details like that.
Grade:  A

Colorado Avalanche:
This is kind of an update of my Avalanche De-Edge concept.  I realize now I used way to much light blue on the original concept, so I minimized it for this update.  I also used a mountain design like what was on the Avalanche's original jerseys, but with arm stripes instead of an arm length yoke.  When creating this concept I made a version on the Reebok Edge template and also the vintage template, you can see the vintage version on this Icethetics concept post.

Have a good day!
