Capital Throwback
/This is a cool third jersey idea for the Washington Capitals. Patrick Gustafsson is mixing a handful of eras in terms of colors and logos, but it kind of works. And whatever happened to sweaters with white shoulder yokes?
Desert Alternate
/Well, Monday is here again. How about a little something to brighten it up? Colin May has a pretty solid third jersey idea for the Arizona Coyotes.
All-Star Flashback Fix
/
This one's been sitting in the archives a while, but with the NHL All-Star Game just a few weeks behind us, I thought we might look at a uniform idea Avi Stein put together. It's a little along the lines of what we've been seeing in the AHL in recent years.
Mile High Stadium Spectacular
/Since the NHL Stadium Series began last year, it has been marked by modern or even futuristic style jerseys for the teams involved. But that's no reason we can't dream that the NHL will come to its senses in 2016. That's when the Avalanche will host the Red Wings outdoors. Tyler Kochan envisions some eye-catching retro designs!
Flint Freak Out
/Earlier this week, The Hockey News reported on the possible new name of the OHL's Plymouth Whalers, which will relocate to Flint, Michigan next season.
Apparently, Flint Tropics is one of the names in the running — the same name as a fictional basketball team in Will Ferrell's 2008 film "Semi-Pro."
What's funny is that Nick Burton applied the Tropics branding to a hockey uniform and sent it to me almost three years ago! I've had it in my vault not quite sure how/if/when to post it.
When this week's news came out of Flint, I realized there'd never be a more appropriate time to share it with the world. What do you think?
But wait, there's more.
As a bonus, Nick put together another version of his Tropics concept this week.
By the way, this name has inspired more than one artist. Expect us to revisit the Flint Tropics in the near future.
