Nordiques Revival, Part 1

/

Today and tomorrow we're considering what the Quebec Nordiques might look like if they were still around. Here, Christian Legault takes a stab at redesigning the whole kit.

He writes:

The logo is based on the provincial bird: the snowy owl. The shape under it is the shape of a fort found in Quebec called La Citadelle and the alternate logo is the Château Frontenac with three fleur de lys.

Check back tomorrow for a different look at the Nords.

I really think the Chicago Blackhawks should go back to having a third jersey. And I really think this concept by Dylan Wonka would be perfect.

The MLB Collection, Part 2

/

David Parkinson has been at work designing hockey sweaters for Major League Baseball teams — sweaters inspired by the local hockey franchises. Last week he tackled the American League. This week it's the National League.

(Click the above images to enlarge and view as a slideshow.)

If you're curious, here's a list of what teams David based his jerseys on:

  • Arizona Diamondbacks based on Coyotes
  • Atlanta Braves based on Thrashers (1999)
  • Chicago Cubs based on Blackhawks
  • Cincinnati Red based on Cincinnati Stingers (WHA, 1975)
  • Colorado Rockies based on Avalanche
  • Los Angeles Dodgers based on Kings
  • Miami Marlins based on Florida Panthers
  • Milwaukee Brewers based on Milwaukee Admirals (AHL)
  • New York Mets based on Islanders
  • Philadelphia Phillies based on Flyers
  • Pittsburgh Pirates based on Penguins
  • San Diego Padres based on San Diego Mariners (WHA, 1974)
  • San Francisco Giants based on San Jose Sharks
  • St. Louis Cardinals based on Blues
  • Washington Nationals based on Capitals

David has more concepts like this for other sports. If you'd like to see them, let me know!

Stadium Sharks

When the San Jose Sharks take the ice outdoors for the first time next February, might they look something like this? This Stadium Series concept by Erik Kuhre even features the requisite chrome-ified crest.

California Flip-Flop Freak Out

/

We saw the Flyers and Penguins swap jersey templates in a Freak Out Friday concept two months ago. Today, Justin Wiltron gives a couple of California teams the same treatment. Truly, they both still look great.
