Hartford Grey
/If the Hartford Whalers were still around today, I figure they probably would've worn a grey third jersey at some point. But it's not just me. Steven Grant apparently likes the idea too. Gorgeous concept.
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.
