Double Islanders

 Welcome back!  It's been a while since my last post, and a long time (more than a year) since I created any concepts for my NHL Double Series (which I started more than five years ago now)!

My Ideal New York Islanders
These jerseys are a return to the Islanders set they wore while winning four Stanley Cups.  The road jersey is identical to their current design except for the collar, but the home jersey uses a different striping pattern that I've always preferred.

New Look New York Islanders
The four stripe motif is overused when making Islanders concepts, but I decided to embrace it anyway.  I placed the four stripes front and center on a chest-stripe, while the actual logo is relegated to the shoulders (similar in concept to the Canucks' flying-V jerseys).  I also added four stripes to each of the numbers on the back.

Sorry again for the long gap between posts.  It's mostly due to a lack of ideas, but I also got a new puppy in early May so I've been spending lots of my free time with her.

She's a four month old yellow lab named Juno, she's really smart (she'll do anything for a treat) and also very energetic (I had forgotten how much work puppies are).

Lastly, I received my second Covid-19 Vaccination yesterday, and I just want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all the scientists, health care workers, and everyone else involved in this vaccination process.

That's all for now!
