In honor of the official unveiling of their Heritage Classic sweater, the Ottawa Senators are the subject of today's concept post. Nevill Carney likes the Sens' black third jersey from 2011 so he designed red and white ones to go with it.
The Buffalo Sabres recently debuted their controversial new two-tone third jersey. That got Arron Anastasia thinking of a previous era for the club. Anyone interested in seeing the the Sabres return to a color palette like this?
Given the team's name, it may seem like a non-starter, but imagine the Columbus Blue Jackets with red as their primary color. That's what Matt Madore presents today. It's a great looking set of jerseys even if it doesn't belong in Ohio's capital.
Matt decided to add a blue jersey to this set. Thoughts?
If we can all agree that the Edmonton Oilers now have their ideal home and road sweaters, what's left is a good third. Mat Ware takes a stab at a couple of options here. Which do you prefer?
With the Olympics now more than three months away, I'm bringing back International Sundays. Each week we'll take a look at some interesting national team concepts. We're kicking things off with Eric Westhaver — a designer who's work you'll be seeing a lot here — and his take on Team USA. Below is his explanation of the design choices.
Patriotism reigns supreme here. There is a new eagle logo on the front, a new crest logo on the arms (shown on the side) and a brand new, totally original font with subtle stars and serifs. Eagle and crest both have two gold stars because of the two Olympic gold medals. The throwback is, of course, the Miracle on Ice. Because why not? U.S. hockey has never had a bigger moment after all!
Eric submitted a series of concepts for most of the countries taking part in this winter's Olympic tournament. They will be featured each Sunday.
