Ever since the announcement that the Isles will play in Brooklyn in a few years, the concepts haven't stopped. Black and white. Brooklyn. But almost every look — despite ending up in a Freak Out Friday post — has been very interesting, including this one by Dan Capostagno. I'm not a fan of the lack of color, but there's got to be something here. Maybe a new third jersey a few seasons from now?
Today, Colin May has a jersey concept that merges the Canucks' late '90s look with that of Vancouver's WHL club — the Giants. It's not a bad look, but I can't say this was my favorite color scheme in Canucks history — and they have had more than a few.
The Stars are getting a new look next fall. Pat Westin has an idea that involves simplifying everything. Though I can't help but wonder if the W-shaped stripes are anything other than the designer's signature hiding in plain sight. (By the way, this concept was obviously made prior to last week. Morrow won't get a chance to wear the new look — whatever it is.)
Here I believe is proof that messing with a classic doesn't always mean messing it up. Antonio Calisto came up with a couple of alternate sweaters for the Montreal Canadiens that are not replicas of anything they've worn in the past. And wouldn't you know it, they're actually pretty darn good.
Um, it was either post this on Freak Out Friday or April Fool's Day. I usually love Justin Cox's work, and while I like this unique take here, I hope it never sees NHL ice.
