0617: The Florida Classic
/
This one's kind of a Freak Out Winter Classic Saturday. Scott Dempsey figures if the NHL can stage an outdoor game in southern California, why not Florida?

Yeah, I don't have the words for this one. Obviously, Ryan Haslett was inspired by the "hanger effect" on the existing Predators jerseys. Maybe he went a bit overboard with it.
Can't break the streak! At 615 days, Icethetics continues to have a brand new concept posted every day — even if it is a little late sometimes. I normally schedule these in advance and somehow completely skipped over Oct. 24, so I had to throw this post together as soon as I got home tonight.
I asked Twitter to decide which team would be featured. The first to respond was Peter Dewar (@pdewar18) and he picked the Hurricanes. And I just happened to have this beauty from Jack Vignavong on hand. Come on Canes, why couldn't you have done this and saved us all a lot of grief?
By the way, due to the late hour of this post, I'm delaying Friday's until about 2pm PT — so don't freak out when you don't see a new one in the morning. (See what I did there?)
Steven Grant has been trying to de-Edge the NHL. His latest attempt is for the Winnipeg Jets. He says, "This concept is inspired by the old RCAF jerseys, and also a bit by the WHA Jets jerseys. I wanted to further the military look created by the logo, so I used stencil numbers."
Laurent Elbaz may be a bit clairvoyant. He writes, "These designs were created before season started. To my surprise, I found out through your site that the leak is very similar to my design. Although I still prefer my 3rd jersey that the one leaked."
What do you think? Has he fixed the Flames once and for all?
Thought I'd add a separate rating box for the third jersey to see how it compares with the retro set.
