Dallas Stars, by Jets96:
Hello folks, today we have a couple of concepts by Jets96. These are his first concepts on this blog, although I have reviewed his work before back when I was writing for HJC. For this concept he combines the Stars current logos with jerseys inspired by the Stars 1993-99 jerseys (home and road), and the North Stars 1988-91 green jersey (third). I have a lot of nostalgia for the Stars 1993-99 jerseys because my minor hockey association wore copies of those jerseys, so I really like the home and road jerseys of this concept. The third jersey looks really good too. There are a couple of issues I noticed though, first of all I think the shoulder logos on the home and road are too close to the collar, and also the names and numbers on the back appeared to be off center.
Grade: B
Colorado Avalanche, by Jets96:
Jets96 also sent in this Avalanche concept that brings back the mountain striping from the team's original jerseys. I love seeing the mountain stripes make a comeback, but I'd like to see it on the sleeves too. I also think those sleeves should use the lighter shade of blue as well to better match the hem stripes. The third jersey looks like a much better version of their current third jersey, I think the new striping pattern looks great. Blue is made much more prominent on this concept, by adding navy blue into the colour scheme as the primary colour. I do like the idea of adding navy blue, but I also think the colours need to contrast better because in certain areas the colours seem to blend together. I think it would help if the lighter blue was made lighter. Lastly, the shouler logo issue from the previous concept applies here too.
Grade: C+
Vancouver Canucks Third:
I'm a Canucks fan and also a fan of the colour green, and often those two things will collide when I make third jersey concepts for the Canucks (like this, or this, or this, or this, or this, or even this). This time I started off with sleeve stripes that are inspired by the Canucks first jerseys, and then added a yoke and a simple hem stripe. I then used the full-body Johnny Canuck logo as the main crest, but added a white outline to make it stand out more.
Have a good day!
