Leafs, Flyers, and Jets Guest Concepts

Toronto Maple Leafs, by Jared:

We have some more NHL2K10 concepts by Jared.  Here he makes a couple of changes to the Leafs jerseys.  First of all the gloves are now brown to look like old leather gloves, which I think would work well for a throwback jersey (like a Winter Classic jersey) but I don't like them for full time use.  He also gives both jerseys yokes, a normal yoke on the white jersey and a phantom yoke on the blue jersey.  I like the yoke on the white jersey, but I'm not a fan of the phantom yoke on the blue jersey.

Philadelphia Flyers, by Jared:

Jared also sent in this hand drawn concept for the Flyers.  The orange jersey looks like it's inspired by the old Philadelphia Quakers jersey with a few changes, and then a new matching white jersey is made.  I really like the design, especially of the white jersey.  The only problem with this concept is the execution, so I'm going to provide a few suggestions in handy point form (although the execution is getting a bit better than Jared's first couple of hand drawn concepts).
-If you have access to a printer, print off a a pre-existing template and use it to trace the outline of the jerseys.
-Use something with a sharper tip for colouring.
-Use a neutral colour (like grey or black) for the outlines of the templates.
-Use a ruler to draw straight lines.
-Take your time to make sure every detail is perfect.

Winnipeg Jets, by Jared:

Jared's final concept of the day is an NHL2K10 concept for the Jets, but not the current Jets the 1979-96 Jets.  His story behind this concept has the Coyotes moving to Winnipeg in 2017 and the current Jets moving back to Atlanta.  While that obviously won't happen in real life, it's a neat way to be able to use the original Jets identity for a concept.  Although it kind of looks like the original Jets logo was just put on the Leafs 2007-10 jerseys.  Also while white pants kind of make sense in Winnipeg since they are known for white-outs, I just don't think white pants work in hockey.  Another problem is that the blue looks too bright.  Now looking at all of Jared's concepts, I actually prefer his hand drawn concepts even with their execution errors over these NHL2K10 concepts that don't seem to allow much room for creativity.
Grade:  C-
