The Pens By Hand Again

He's the king of the hand-drawn jersey concept and he's helping us start 2016 in style. Morgo Uxbridge takes his second shot at the Pittsburgh Penguins with this one.

New Cats

We know the Florida Panthers are getting a new look next fall. In thinking about that, Lucas Daitchman was inspired by an unused logo design from the 1990s, created by Ken Loh, when he put together this concept. What do you think?

Ohio Connection

Guess we're sticking with a blue theme in the new year. Jake Miller takes on the Lake Erie Monsters today to "align [them] with the Blue Jackets more and to change their name to the Cleveland Monsters." He continues: "The jersey itself is a combination of the Jackets alternate and the Monsters outdoor alternate jersey from last year."

Actually, that's not a bad look at all.

Centennial Classic

NHL commish Gary Bettman may not be ready to commit to Toronto as host of the next Winter Classic, but a number of Icethetics concept artists already are. Nick Burton proposes a couple of jerseys for the Leafs and a potential opponent from NYC.

By the way, there's more where this came from. I envision the next several Outdoor Saturdays will focus on Toronto. So prepare yourself.

Toronto Turning Point

It's fair to say that a big focus of the new year will be the Toronto Maple Leafs who are preparing to mark a century in existence with new logos and uniforms. So on a day normally reserved for something a little offbeat, let's start it with something simple and stylish from Petter Furå.
