For the second time in a week we visit with the talented Nick Burton. And as it's Saturday, he has a couple of Winter Classic ideas to share. Up top, we have an orange option for the Islanders — who are expected to face the Rangers during the 2014 NHL Stadium Series. And down below, a white version of the Senators' current third jersey — for when they're hosted by the Canucks in the next Heritage Classic.
Yesterday we looked at a redesign of the untouchable Red Wings. Today, it's the similarly untouchable Canadiens. But unlike the former, the latter should really not be allowed to happen. Ever. Welcome to another Freak Out Friday. I applaud the great effort from Caz Williams, but I'm not sure a faux sash should be worn by the most historic franchise in the NHL.
I know the Red Wings are one of those untouchable teams when it comes to uniform designs, but this page is nothing if not good for exploring new ideas. Brian Brideau had a pretty neat idea for the Red Wings. I don't know about you, but I'd kind of like to see this in action.
Ok, not sure if that title landed. I was doing a little word merging — Buffalo + fauxback (which is faux + throwback). It's all very confusing, I know. But Nick Burton has created a really sharp sweater the Buffalo Sabres might have worn had they existed in the 1920s.
Here's a look I really love. Victor You has updated the Leafs' old logo and created a secondary mark inspired by the Toronto Arenas logo. Best of all he's gone with a very dark shade of blue that gives the whole kit a very classic feel.
