The Kraken

Last week the NHL's 32nd franchise revealed their identity, and I'm a big fan of it.  I love the name Kraken (and I have since it was first rumoured), the logos are great, and the jerseys are nice as well.

So without further ado, here's a third jersey concept using their "Ice Blue" as the primary colour.

Seattle Kraken:

There's nothing too crazy here, I just wanted to see how this colour would work for a third jersey (because I'm sure Seattle will have a jersey this colour at some point in the future).

Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, and thanks for visiting!

Double Golden Knights

Welcome back to another post for my NHL Double Series!  The Vegas Golden Knights are the only NHL team I've never made any concept for, but that ends today (at least with the second set, the first set hardly counts as a concept).

My Ideal Vegas Golden Knights:

As you can see, I barely made any changes for my "Ideal" Golden Knights concept.  I think their current jerseys are pretty much perfect, so all I really did was experiment with steel gray pants for the road jersey.

New Look Vegas Golden Knights:

Here I placed the hidden V from their logo on to the sleeve, and continued that line up to create an extended shoulder yoke.  Also I used gold numbers, and went with a steel gray pair of gloves for the white jersey.

See you later!

Past Concepts from Across Canada

Happy Canada Day!  I thought I'd celebrate this day by sharing some of my old concepts for various teams from across Canada, starting out west with Vancouver!

Vancouver Canucks:

This Canucks concept was inspired by soccer jerseys.  The angled stripes are meant to be subtle V's.

Vancouver Giants:

Next up we have a Vancouver Giants concept, which was my take on the Giants original jerseys.

Surrey Eagles:

For this Surrey Eagles concept, I based the striping off of the jersey the eagle in the logo is wearing.

Abbotsford Heat:

Looking back now, I could have been more creative with this Abbotsford Heat concept.

Chilliwack Chiefs:

I went with a double sleeve-stripe design for this Chilliwack Chiefs concept, and used an angular font to match the angles in the logo.

Calgary Flames:

The gradients on this Flames concept are meant to look like flames.

Edmonton Oilers:

Here's a grey Oilers concept which uses their old "steel-drop" logo in front of a diagonal chest stripe.

Winnipeg Jets:

Moving on to Winnipeg, we have an aviator blue jersey with chevrons on the sleeves.

Manitoba Moose:

I simplified the old colour scheme of the Manitoba Moose for this concept.

London Knights:

This London Knights concept uses stripes on the ends of the shoulder yoke.

Hamilton Tigers:

Tiger stripes were the theme of this Hamilton Tigers concept.

Toronto Maple Leafs:

Here's a fauxback Maple Leafs concept which combines some of their old Toronto Arenas and St. Pats jerseys.

Toronto Marlies:

I used the Maple Leafs' 1930-34 jersey as inspiration for this Toronto Marlies concept.

Ottawa Senators:

This Senators concept is based off of the logo and jerseys of the WHA's Ottawa Nationals.

Montreal Canadiens:

Next up is a Canadiens concept using a chest stripe on a white jersey.

Montreal Maroons:

Also in Montreal, this was my idea of an update for the old Montreal Maroons.

Quebec Nordiques:

Last but not least, we have a double blue Quebec Nordiques concept which was part of my what if the Nordiques never moved set of concepts.

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Canada Day!
