San Jose Sharks De-Edge

The Sharks are the next team in my De-Edge series, so I thought this would be a good time to provide a brief review of their new look.  I like that they eliminated one of the orange stripes from the sleeve and sock stripes, it makes those stripes slightly more interesting.  I also like the removal of the shoulder yoke, without it the jersey is less busy.  The updated numbers are also an improvement, and I don't even mind the front numbers anymore without the shoulder yoke to crowd them.  The one thing I don't like is the removal of the hem stripes.  Some jerseys look good without hem stripes (like the Sharks third jersey), but I don't like how it looks in this situation.  Overall I would say this was a lateral move.

San Jose Sharks:

This is a combination of my favourite stuff from different Sharks jerseys.  Most noticeably the shoulder/sleeve design from their 1998-2007 jerseys, and the striping pattern from their 2007-2013 jerseys.

Enjoy your weekend!

Pittsburgh Penguins De-Edge

Pittsburgh Penguins:

Pittsburgh has a famous golden triangle (featured in their logo), so I decided to use that as inspiration for the sleeve stripes.  These jerseys also are somewhat similar to their current and pre-edge jerseys, which was actually unintentional.

As always, feel free to leave any thoughts you have.  Thanks for visiting.

Phoenix Coyotes De-Edge

Phoenix Coyotes:

I brought back the unique striping pattern from the Coyotes original jerseys, but I kept the jerseys two toned like their current jerseys (and now their "sand" colour replaces white).  I used the same logos in the same places as their current jerseys (except now the shoulder patches are on both sides), and the number font is inspired by their original number font.

Have a good day!

Philadelphia Flyers De-Edge

Philadelphia Flyers:

I wanted to keep the general idea of the Flyers jersey the same, but also do something new.  So instead of the stripes going down the sleeves, I used a design that is kind of similar to the jerseys Canada wore in 1998, and the jerseys USA wore in 2002.  Also, these still have contrasting nameplates in a way.
