Island Grey

I'm not sure there's a big appetite around here to see the Islanders ditch orange as a primary color, but Caleb Fuller's grey-based design still makes for an interesting concept.

/Steven Grant presents a unique third jersey with a racing theme for the Motor City-based Detroit Red Wings. He writes:
For this concept I was just messing around with a few ideas for a Red Wings third jersey. The striping pattern is inspired by racing stripes on old fashioned cars. The captain patch in a circle is also inspired by old cars, specifically how old racing cars had numbers within a circle. I then used their old fashioned D logo as the primary logo, and I kept the equipment from their current jerseys.
What do you say? Too far out for a franchise as old as the Wings? Or just what they need to shake up their look?
A Pitt of Gold
/
The Penguins are on track to add a new third jersey this fall. Justin Wiltron had a couple of ideas when it comes to choosing the color.
Here are some Penguins concepts that dive into the very underrated color of gold, one that should be used in sports more often. One is a normal concept and the other, well, it goes back to some very old Pittsburgh Pirates days, perfect for a Freak Out Friday.
I don't think his Pirates homage was that freaky. You decide.
Perhaps this could be a future Winter Classic possibility for the Pens?
Houston Eagles

This week's custom team comes from Jeremy Roney, who writes:
Based the team in Houston as a potential NHL expansion [franchise]. Pulled the colors and logo idea from Texas and their patriotism. The specialty jersey is a fauxback honoring the Houston Aeros of the WHA and their championships with the Howe family.
Do you think this would this be a good look for Houston's eventual return to pro hockey?
