0660: Norway in Sochi

Eric Westhaver's Olympic series picks up in its third week with Norway. Another solid design. Maybe Nike should've hired this guy.

After a week's worth of Stadium Series concepts, the Winter Classic is probably a good subject for this Outdoor Saturday. Matt Madore wants to see the 2016 Winter Classic in Minnesota where he has the Wild hosting the Blues.
It may not be based on anything specific from Minnesota's hockey history, but it definitely has that retro feel. And the Blues jersey, well that's just superb. Job done.
Maybe next week we can find some concept artists not named Matt or Justin. (Kidding!)
Thought it might be fun to wrap up Stadium Series Week with a good Freak Out. Bryan Dyck designed an L.A. Dodgers jersey for the Kings and an Anaheim Angels jersey for the Ducks. Count these among the things we're certain not to see at the game in January. (Then again, the Kings did wear this once.)
Stadium Series Week is winding down with another day of New York-centric concepts. Matt Madore presents this set for the Rangers/Islanders meeting. It's so unusual to see that shield on a Rangers jersey, but it really works. As for the Islanders, that's a lot of stripes.
And the prolific Mat Ware imagines a more colorful assembly of these two teams. Orange is becoming a very popular base for jersey concepts these days. Think we need more orange jerseys around?
It's Stadium Series Week on the Concepts page and Dylan Wonka gets us over the hump with three jerseys for the Yankee Stadium games. His take on the Rangers is unique but likely not accurate. The team will wear white with NEW YORK across the chest. Still, it's a clever use of an element of the Rangers' shield logo.
Next up is an Islanders proposal. I'm intrigued by the use of black striping on the primarily blue and orange sweater. But I have a feeling Long Island fans wouldn't warm to it.
And lastly, we have the Devils. So far we've been hearing the Devils will go with a throwback unlike the rest of the participating teams. However, they'll be wearing red instead of white. Look for them to sport the red and green number they've worn on St. Patrick's Day in recent years.
Meantime, what do you think of Dylan's designs? Any you'd like to see in action at some point?
