0618: Isles & Flames

It's Sunday and that brings another Islanders concept. How about this one from Brendan Nashman inspired by the old New York Americans? And since today is unveiling day for the Calgary Flames' third jersey...


...I had to sneak this one in from Brian Brideau. He took the leaked shoulder patch and created an entire uniform design around it. I think it's actually really cool. What about you? Better or worse than the actual jersey they're unveiling today?

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?

0616: Music City Freak Out

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.

0615: Pete Picked the Canes

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?)

0614: Military Jets

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."
