Electric Blue Bolts
/The Tampa Bay Lightning have a new black third jersey on the way this season. What if it looked like this design by newcomer Daniel Hizgilov? Sure, the striping is a little derivative of the Blackhawks — but those colors!
The Wild by Hand
/Who says you need a computer to create an awesome set of hockey sweaters? Morgo Uxbridge shares another brilliant hand-drawn redesign, this time for the Minnesota Wild. I particularly like his North Stars-inspired alternate logo. Best mix of North Stars and Wild I think I've ever seen.
Ranger Pinstripes
/Yesterday I shared a collection of MLB-inspired concept jerseys. Today, this Rangers design from Colin May takes a cue from the Yankees with those classic pinstripes — not unlike what we saw on Henrik Lundqvist's goalie pads during the Stadium Series.

Rocky Mountain Classic
/Anybody interested in seeing the 2016 NHL Winter Classic in Denver? A game between the Avalanche and Blues could be positively stunning if Dylan Wonka has anything to say about it.
