California Freak Out

Matt Marczel wanted to freak us out today. Keep looking. You'll see it. Sharks fans already did.

In reality, though, Matt says he was inspired by the San Jose Sharks' AHL affiliate — the Worcester Sharks, who wore these theme jerseys in November. 

Not So Rebellious

Lest we have a week go by without a little something from Bastian Schmülling. Recently, someone asked to see a Red Deer Rebels concept on the site. I thought surely no one's taken the time. But of course Bastian has designed something for just about every team you can imagine. I may have to dedicate and entire week to him sometime soon.

The title of this post refers to Bastian's traditional jersey design style — which probably has a lot to do with why his concepts are always so highly rated. What do you guys think? Bastian Week?

Bolts and Black

The Tampa Bay Lightning are officially introducing a new third jersey next season. Will it be black? Will it still say Bolts? Avi Stein puts forth this idea. Any takers?

Flames of the Future

Something about this Greg Dobson set makes me feel like it's an actual uniform we could see in the NHL 20 or 30 years from now. I could imagine it being considered a throwback-style set in the 2045-46 season — depending on how much use that new third jersey shoulder patch gets in the coming years.

Neutral Toronto

Asle Tømmerstrand was apparently inspired by the 2014 Stadium Series jerseys when he invented this grey alternate for the Toronto Maple Leafs. It's difficult to picture the Leafs in anything but blue, but we've been seeing a lot of great grey jerseys lately — even in real life with the Kings.
