Toronto Maple Leafs De-Edge

I'm sure most of you have already seen this, but Icethetics is reporting that Canada may have a black third jersey.  The cool thing is that Chris asked me to do the mock-ups for the article.  If you haven't seen it yet, click the link above.

Toronto Maple Leafs:

I didn't change much for the Leafs.  The logos, name and number fonts are all the same, and the only change I made to the equipment was adding a single stripe to the pants (like what they wear with their third jersey).  The striping also looks somewhat similar but that was unintentional, it is actually inspired by their logo.  To show you what I mean I created the image below.

As you can see in the image above, the three white spaces in the striping line up with the words in their logo.  The thin blue stripes line up with the spaces between the words, and the bottom thick blue stripe lines up with the space below the words.

Hopefully that description wasn't too confusing.  Have a good day!

Tampa Bay Lightning De-Edge

Tampa Bay Lightning:

I was a big fan of Tampa Bay's original uniforms, so I used them as inspiration for this concept.  I also used lots of angles, because I think they complement the Lightning's logo (as you can see I brought back their old logo).

Top View:

I included a side view of the sleeve in the concept above, but I also thought I would post this top view to give you a better idea of the design of the shoulder yoke.

St. Louis Blues De-Edge

St. Louis Blues:

I wanted to try a super-sized shoulder yoke in this series, and since all of my favourite Blues jerseys have had shoulder yokes (and I didn't have any other ideas for them) I decided to try it on a Blues jersey.  At first I tried it styled after their 1968-84 white jersey, but I didn't like the way the blue jersey looked, so it ended up being styled after their 1998-2007 jerseys.  I also slightly changed the logo, getting rid of one of the outlines.

Thanks for visiting.

Wild Review and a Guest Concept

The Wild unveiled their new road jersey this past Sunday (actually they leaked it on Saturday), and I'm a big fan of the new look.  I was also a big fan of their previous road jersey, so I was nervous the new jersey would be a downgrade, but it wasn't.  I was most nervous that they might remove their awesome bear-head logo from the front of the sweater, so I was very glad to see it was still there.  The new striping pattern also looks good, and it fits in with their third jersey.  One thing that seemed a bit unpopular was the red numbers, but I actually like them, they make the jerseys more interesting and it fits with their logo nicely.  I'm not going to call this an improvement over their last jersey, but their old jersey had been around for a while so I am glad they made this change.

SG-94 Concept, by Jake88:

Jake88 sent in this awesome concept for the blog.  I love the striping pattern used here, it works great with the logo in my opinion.  I also like how the logo is on a green background on both jerseys, because I think this logo looks best on that colour background.  I have no complaints about this concept at all.
