0663: Tampa Bay Fauxback

Alan Moore has merged the Lightning's current look with its original one. Here's his explanation:

Here's a Lightning alternate concept. It's more of a logo concept than a jersey concept, as the jersey is almost identical to their pre-Edge look. I do like their current home and away, but I think the alternate is out of place now.

I modified their existing secondary logo to look more like their original primary mark, adding a silver background and using the shape of the original bolt but with a more modest drop shadow. Sort of a fauxback idea.

I also applied a blue drop shadow to their existing number font. It's intended to be a throwback to their first season look.

0662: Ohio Pride

Today we get a neat alternate jersey design for the Blue Jackets from Avi Stein. He writes:

I think that the Jackets should try to market themselves better to the entire state of Ohio, as a lot of people from the Cleveland area follow Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, etc. So, this uniform speaks to the fan-base, and solidifies the notion that the Columbus Blue Jackets are indeed Ohio's team.

After seeing your feedback, Avi revised his original design and added a blue one. Thoughts?

0661: Future of Vancouver

As we look to more modern jersey designs with the new Stadium Series threads, check out this Vancouver Canucks set from Justin Nahhas. He was inspired by the team's original third jersey from the 90s, but it's still a very cool look.

Justin read your comments and put together a few alternative designs.

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.

0659: Minnesota's Winter Classic

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!)
