Oilers De-Edge Third

I'm not doing third jerseys for Columbus, Dallas, or Detroit, so the Oilers are up next.

Edmonton Oilers Third:

I wanted to do an orange third jersey for the Oilers, but I didn't want it to be a simple recolour of the home and road jerseys (it does share quite a few similarities though).  The hem and sleeve stripes are inspired by the logo, how the bottom half is mostly blue and the top half is more white.  There are new helmets and pants, but the gloves are the same.

Full Set:

Here's a look at the full set.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving/Columbus Day weekends.

Avalanche De-Edge Third

Colorado Avalanche Third:

The home and road jerseys I did for the Avalanche were fairly modern, so I wanted to do a more traditional third jersey.  It is loosely inspired by the Nordiques jerseys, with simple striping, and blue (both navy and light blue) as the only colour used anywhere besides the team's primary logo.  I used the "Colorado" script on the front of the jersey because I thought it worked better with the more traditional design.  The gloves and pants are the same as what is used with the primary jerseys, but there is a new helmet.

Full Set:

Here's a look at the full set.  As you can see the Avalanche become the first team in this series to have three non-white jerseys.

Thanks for visiting.

Carolina, Kitchener, and Blackhawks De-Edge Third

Carolina Hurricanes, by Alan:

For the third straight post we begin with a Hurricanes concept, this time by Alan from AJH Hockey Jersey Art.  I believe this was created before the Hurricanes re-brand, it seems to fit in with that era with the Hurricanes old font and the use of silver in the striping.  The sleeve, hem, sock, and especially pant stripes all look good.  The only striping I don't like is the unique striping on the shoulders, as I think it's too box-y.  My recommendation would be to get rid of the white and silver outlines on the ends of that shoulder design (the vertical outlines).

Kitchener Rangers, by Alan:

I love this concept because it gets Kitchener away from looking like the New York Rangers, and gives them a look that (as Alan's description says) "is simple, classic, and modern all at the same time".  The striping, logos, and fonts all look great.  I especially like the shoulder patch Alan created.  The only two things I don't like were carried over from their current uniform, and those are the red helmets and New York Ranger's style pants.  I think a blue or white helmet would look better with the white jersey, and I think the pants are to retro looking for these jerseys.  Those two things are fairly minor though, and they don't take away from this great concept.

Chicago Blackhawks Third:

As you can see this is a black version of the home and road jerseys.  I felt like this jersey made the whole set more cohesive.  All the equipment (besides the socks) are the same as the home jersey.

Full Set:

Here's a look at all three jerseys together.

Have a good day!

Hurricanes De-Edge Third

I'm not doing a De-Edge third jersey for Calgary, so here are the Hurricanes.

Carolina Hurricanes Third:

I went a bit crazy here with gradients and the hurricane-flag pattern.  The home and road had a more traditional look, so I wanted to try something out there for the third jersey (the Hurricanes have only been around since 1997, so I don't think they should look traditional all the time).  The equipment is all new for this jersey, but I used the same font as the primary jerseys.

Full Set:

Here's the full set.

Update:  I guess I didn't go crazy enough with the gradients and hurricane-flag pattern, as both Tyler Gross and Jake88 suggested I use more.  Tyler thought I should use the hurricane-flag pattern on the pants, Jake88 agreed with him and suggested I put it on the socks as well.  I tried both those changes and liked them, so here is the updated Hurricanes third jersey.

Thank you to both Tyler Gross and Jake88 for the suggestions.
