0438: Eggplant and Orange

When the Anaheim Ducks rebranded back in 2006, they lost their unique color scheme in favor of black and orange — already owned by the Flyers. Sure, there's a bit of gold in there, but it's underused. Kris Lutes put together a concept that sort of merges the new and old looks of the team by adding orange their old eggplant and jade palette. I think it would look fantastic on the ice!

Also, as you may have noticed, I'm debuting a new concept template today. It features a jersey material background texture now, replacing the old ice. Think it fits better with what we do here on a daily basis.

0437: Nineties Canucks Callback

Something feel familiar about this jersey? Patrik Gustafsson was inspired by the Canucks' original alternate sweater from the mid-90s.

0436: Return to Old Gold

Matt Madore has an idea for bringing the "old gold" back to the Penguins. Will Sidney Crosby one day really be wearing these colors?

0435: Team Germany

I'm very much enjoying these International Sundays. On this one, we get a look at Bastian Schmülling's take on Germany, his home country. Bastian has also created ad-free versions of jerseys from the DEL, the Deutsche Eishockey Liga — the German Hockey League. I'm working to get some of those posted here at some point if you guys are interested in seeing them.

0434: Classic Detroit Alternatives

Matt McElroy was not thrilled with the Detroit Red Wings' 2014 Winter Classic uniform. That's putting it mildly. He was so disappointed he came up with not one but four different alternatives that could've worked just as well — or even better. And not one features "vintage white."

Interestingly, the design on the upper right (the opposite of the Wings' 2009 Winter Classic jersey) will be worn in the alumni game prior to the Winter Classic next year. So maybe one wish will come true.
