Goodbye (Kind Of) After Three Years

This blog was started three years ago today, and I've decided it's (kind of) time to shut the blog down.  I will still post any concepts I make here (if I make any more concepts), but it will likely be a long time between posts.  However I will no longer be posting guest concepts, or doing any "My Thoughts" posts.

Also, I put together this image of how the blog's logo has changed over time...

Hopefully I'll be back with more concepts, but it will likely be at least a couple months from now.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Guest Concept Post #78

Hello again!  It's been a while since the last post.  That's simply due to a combination of me being busy and having no ideas for new concepts.  But I'm back today with a guest concept from Scott.

Edmonton Oilers, by Scott:

The Oilers have had two good sets of jerseys in their history (the Gretzky-era/current look, and the pre-edge set), and Scott has combined them both for this concept.  I like the use of silver, especially on the striping of the home jersey because it helps separate the orange stripe from the blue background.  However, I think the elements without silver (numbers, collars, pant stripe, and away yoke) now look out of place.  I suggest adding silver to those elements which I think would make the whole uniform more cohesive (although it might end up looking worse, hard to tell without seeing it both ways).  As it is now, I prefer the Oilers current jerseys to this concept, but I like this concept better than their pre-edge jerseys.

Have a good day!

Sharks Tweak

San Jose Sharks:

I think the Sharks current jerseys are decent but could be improved with a few changes, so that's what I did here.

Thanks for visiting!

Stadium Series Predictions

2016 Stadium Series:

A couple weeks ago I posted my prediction for next year's Winter Classic jerseys, today I'm doing the same for the Stadium Series.  I think the jerseys will once again be modern, and follow a template that is used for all four teams.  I also kept the the giant sleeve numbers and giant pant logos from this years uniforms.  I decided against white pants, instead using white gloves for the road teams.  Also gone are the chrome or carbon fiber logo, but that's mostly just wishful thinking.  The sleeve stripes are angled so that when the arms are down at an angle the stripes will look more vertical to match the stripes on the torso.

Also, I've added a square yolk variation of my new template to the templates page.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
