Olympic Spirit, Part II

This is an extension of Thursday's post. Concept art has just been flying in over the last couple of days and some of it is pretty awesome!


Glen Cuthbert

Glen put together this blast from the past. Call me crazy, but this would be an awesome alternate jersey. Much better than the U.S.'s New York Rangers-based third. Plus, that's just a great all around crest. Where has it been all these years?

Matt Marczel

While we're on the United States, Matt is looking for a return to something a little more recent. Personally, I think USA Hockey needs a new logo.

Jared LeBlanc

Jared has put together concepts for several countries, including this Canadian one I really like. The black goes away, as it should, and another shade of red is added for contrast. I'm not sure so about the alternate jersey. May be a little too red. That's Russian territory, right?

Jared LeBlanc

Now, I take back what I said yesterday about Elias' Swiss design. Nothing against it, but this is just too cool. At first glance, it may seem plain — which is what I accused the current Swiss jerseys of being — but really take another look. That's just a really sharp design.

Jared LeBlanc

The only one of Jared's concepts I'm not crazy about is this one. Sweden arguably has the best jerseys in this year's tournament, but I feel like this re-imagining takes away from that.

I've still got more artwork waiting in the wings. Keep checking back for updates!
