This week seems to be about fixing teams whose jersey designs have gone astray. The Lightning aren't in a bad place with their present look, but as Steven Grant points out, there are certainly some elements they could add to call back to their original uniforms. Like white shoulder yokes and a the victory stripes under the arms, for example.
The Ducks' newly redesigned home and road jerseys make sense for right now. But eventually, I see the team following one of the better design trends in the NHL in the next couple decades. Traditional jerseys have been making a comeback and this set by newcomer Jacob Lazare could fit the bill while still retaining Anaheim's unique look and feel.
Over the years, I'm sure I've posted many concepts that elegantly demonstrate how easy it would be to raise the Ottawa Senators among the elite teams in terms of jersey design. What they have now is, frankly, terrible. It's just bad. And it's been around too long.
Justin Wiltron is the latest to show us one of the great possibilities that needs to become a reality. Or maybe I'm overhyping it. What's your take?
Sundays are for international teams. Today, Rudolf Vychovaly shares his revised take on the Jokerit club of Helsinki, Finland. The 47-year-old franchise will become a member of the KHL in the fall. Here's a look at their current uniform. There are more photos on Facebook.

This week's College Saturday concept takes us to the deep south. David Parkinson put together a three-jersey set for the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Not surprisingly, hockey is merely a club sport down there. But at least they have a team.
Check out their Facebook page for more photos. As you can see, they currently wear the old "Sens" third jersey template. But they also seem to have a custom red alternate.
