Freaking Out on the Ducks

I know, two consecutive weeks of Anaheim Freak Out Friday posts. What's that about? I guess a lot of designers feel like they're a good starting point for some wackiness. This one by Bryan Dyck sort of speaks for itself, so I'll just leave you to it.

St. Louis and Silver

What if the Blues traded their gold for silver? The result might look something like what Chance Waddell presents today. This set doesn't immediately make us think of the St. Louis club, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. How about you?

NYC Stadium Redux

Talented Norwegian concept artist Asle Tømmerstrand returns with a new alternate jersey design for the New York Rangers — inspired by the NHL Stadium Series. I'm actually a big fan of the shoulder design on this jersey.

Capital Blue and Bronze

Am I the only one that misses the Washington Capitals' blue and bronze era from the mid-90s? It was such a great, unique color scheme and was never really used to its fullest potential. Apparently I'm not alone.

John Elbertson successfully adapted the Weagle to the old palette in this set of home and road sweaters. But he wasn't alone.

Dallas Kirkpatrick also saw something in those colors, though he came up with a slightly different way of using them. Think these guys are crazy? Or should the Caps bring it back?

Colorado Color Ado

Come on, that headline at least has to get me a job interview at NHL.com. Right?

All right, so Steven Grant has been working on a series of "de-Edged" NHL jerseys of late. His unique take on the Colorado Avalanche brings a distinct color palette. I like the idea of trying to avoid using a white jersey, but frankly I'm not sure sky blue is the best option. What's your take?


Update

Normally I use updates for artist revisions. But this update from Steven is less a revision and more a complete redesign of his Avalanche concept.

He writes: "It's funny that you posted my Colorado Avalanche concept today, because just yesterday I was working on an update of that concept that keeps the same colour scheme but changes almost everything else."

Still, I thought it might be nice to compare and contrast so I decided to include the new design in this post.
