Better Bolts

Here's another brilliant example of how the Tampa Bay Lightning could've gotten their revised "BOLTS" third jersey right. This design by Nick Burton would've been a much better option!

The V Hem

David Kerr tackles the Vancouver Canucks today, writing:

I have always loved the idea behind the "Flying V" jerseys and just felt it was poorly executed. Putting a "V" in the hem stripes is a more subtle execution of the same idea.

Ice Cold Nordiques

Today seems like a good day for a newcomer. Rookie concept artist Pierre-Simon Gagné makes his Icethetics debut with a new Nordiques look. He writes: 

Here is my latest concept for the (soon to be?) Quebec Nordiques. Overall "cooler" look and an implied reference to the original logo concept (blue on blue) back in '72.

IceHog Heaven

As the top affiliate of the Chicago Blackhawks, the Rockford IceHogs have always work Hawks jerseys — but what if they didn't? Tyler Kochan has a cool take on new sweaters.

Brooklyn Bonus

Should the Islanders someday make a return appearance to the NHL Stadium Series, Avi Stein proposes this jersey for the game. Heck, it might even make for a better Brooklyn-themed third jersey than their current design.
