0592: Bleu We Dare?

Justin Wiltron writes, "Do I dare try to add something to a historic Montreal arsenal? Yes."

Let the hockey season begin!

0591: The Stars by Hand

Everybody's favorite pen-and-marker concept artist is back with a revision for the Dallas Stars. Morgo Uxbridge has gone for more gold and a more traditional pattern, inspired by the Stars' own history. It's a really solid look, but I'm still not convinced gold is better than silver for Dallas.

0590: Seattle Emeralds

Joseph Loretz brings us a feature for the Seattle Sunday series as he conjures up the Seattle Emeralds. Feels more like a women's hockey team to me, but it's a neat uniform design.

0589: Heritage Classic by Mat Ware

We're stretching this week's theme into another Classic Saturday thanks to Mat Ware. He's created Heritage Classic jerseys for all seven Canadian teams, but I thought I'd share three of them today. First is what we're likely to see Ottawa wear to this year's Heritage Classic in Vancouver — only without Daniel Alfredsson.

Here's an Oilers jersey I know a lot of people would like to see a couple of times a year. Did you know Edmonton actually wore orange for a couple of seasons during their WHA days? It makes for a nice looking sweater. And in an NHL will more than its share of gold jerseys, this is certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

This series wraps up with a Winnipeg Jets fauxback, not unlike what the Flyers wore for their last Winter Classic appearance. Mat gives them the vintage white treatment alongside their original WHA logo to give the NHL's newest team a feeling of history. Which of the three do you like best?

0588: Freak Outs by Ryan Yuck

Our theme week continues into this Freak Out Friday with the guy you might call the King of Freak Outs. Ryan Yuck's tendency toward the unfamiliar can be jarring at times. You could never call his work bad, but it's definitely out there. Like this re-imagining of the Islanders' fisherman jersey — without the fisherman or the wavy stripes.

Here he merges the Canucks with the old Vancouver Millionaires. It's a strange idea for a hockey sweater, yet there's something about it you can't help but like. Maybe it's the green.

Speaking of green, Ryan's Wild concept takes a little inspiration from the Minnesota club that preceded it — the North Stars. His work is definitely creative and worth taking the time to look at, but I'm not sure I'd necessarily want to see it on NHL ice. What do you think?
