The All-Star Century

View fullsize

I love this NHL All-Star concept from Mike Ivall for the NHL's upcoming centennial season. Here is Mike's explanation of his design.

Rumour has it Toronto wants to get this [the 2017 NHL All-Star Game] for their 100th birthday as well as the Winter Classic. So let's make a choice. Toronto gets the All-Star Game but not the Winter Classic. Why not put the All-Star Game outside at a renovated BMO Field in these jerseys?

I have loved the Campbell and Wales jerseys but we know the NHL wants their logo on it, so I took it from the 1988 game in St. Louis.

These would look great in an outdoor game! Anyone agree?

The Olympics are long over, but the International Sunday series continues. Today, Mat Ware presents a bit of a throwback as we contemplate the South Korea Games in 2018.

A Winter in the Capital

We're still waiting to hear who the Capitals will host for the 2015 Winter Classic, but Quentin Robb is thinking about a 2011 rematch. What would you think of seeing these two uniforms in action again?

Update

March 9: Quentin has written in clarify details about his design.

I forgot to mention that this isn't a concept based on the NHL, it's actually for a fantasy hockey league I am in, called the HSHSFHL, where the league itself (a simulator league) holds a Winter Classic matchup each year determined by the GMs themselves in a league-vote for which teams should be featured.

For more details, read Quentin's extended explanation in the comments below.

Turn Ahead the Freak Out II

In 1998, the MLB thought throwback uniforms were getting stale so they decided to spice things up with their Turn Ahead the Clock promotion. They introduced what they thought were futuristic style uniforms. Needless to say, it didn't work out. But it still inspired David Parkinson to put together this Phoenix Coyotes concept. Happy Freak Out Friday!

Back to Black in Calgary

I've always thought the Calgary Flames should have a black third jersey — the third jersey idea was created to showcase a third color, right? They had one for a while in the early 2000s that worked, but it's time to bring it back. Bastian Schmülling gives us an idea of what one could look like — on a fresh jersey template.
