NHL Double Series - Final Updates

Welcome back!  Today's post is the finale of my NHL Double Series, and it features updated designs for five concepts (mostly minor updates).  Let's get started...

My Ideal Buffalo Sabres

I originally had the hem stripes on the road jersey matching the sleeve stripes, but I decided to switch to mis-matched stripes (like the Sabres current jerseys).  I also used the updated version of their logo.

(original concept)

My Ideal Carolina Hurricanes

Updates here include; removing the pant stripe, ditching the red yoke on the road jersey, and switching to red numbers on that jersey as well.

(original concept)

New Look Colorado Avalanche

I was never entirely happy with my New Look Avalanche concept, especially the way it used black throughout the design.  So like the Avalanche did in real life, I ditched black all-together (besides the puck in the logo).  I also thickened the trim along the hem and cuffs, and added a pant stripe.

(original concept)

My Ideal Los Angeles Kings

It's a pretty minor change, but the piping no longer has a tapered end (it originally tapered away before the collars).

(original concept)

My Ideal Vancouver Canucks

Now that the Abbotsford Canucks have adopted Johnny Canuck as their logo, I've updated this concept to use the Canucks modern stick-in-the-rink logo (I recoloured it on the road jersey).

(original concept)

Here's a look at all 64 concepts from this series, one division at a time...

Pacific Division

Central Division

Atlantic Division

Metropolitan Division

You may or may not have noticed, but all 10 teams that were originally on the Reebok Edge template have been updated to the Adidas Adizero template (including four of the concepts featured above).

All of these concepts can also be found in full-size on the NHL Double Series page.

That's a wrap for this series, thanks for following along!

NHL Double Series - Suggested Revisions

Hello!  Today's post (the penultimate of my NHL Double Series) features revisions suggested from viewers like you.  Most of the suggestions come from CCSLC (Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Community, also known as the SportsLogos.Net forums).

My Ideal Arizona Coyotes (Revision #1)

CCSLC user B-mer suggested I add a black line above the Kachina pattern on the road jersey of my "Ideal" Coyotes concept.

My Ideal Arizona Coyotes (Revision #2)

Then CCSLC user vtgco recommended I surround the Kachina pattern in black on the home jersey as well.

New Look Buffalo Sabres

Here I added more stripes to the hem of my New Look Sabres concept (as suggested by CCSLC user ldconcepts), and ditched the Buffaslug shoulder logos (suggested by both ldconcepts and CCSLC user hockey week).

(original concept)

New Look Calgary Flames

On my New Look Flames set I flipped the red and maroon stripes to create a sorta gradient design, as requested by vtgco.

(original concept)

My Ideal Columbus Blue Jackets

The colours on the hem of my "Ideal" Blue Jackets road jersey were swapped to be mostly navy, suggested by vtgco.

(original concept)

New Look Columbus Blue Jackets

This revision of my New Look Blue Jackets set replaces Stinger with the cannon logo, again suggested by vtgco.

(original concept)

New Look Detroit Red Wings

Changes to this New Look Wings concept include; ditching the pant stripe, recolouring the pant logo red, removing the white stripe at the top of the home jerseys' sleeves, and going with a leather coloured helmet.  All changes suggested by vtgco.

(original concept)

New Look Florida Panthers

B-mer recommended I use the Panthers current numbers on my New Look Panthers concept.

(original concept)

My Ideal Nashville Predators

B-mer also thought I should try a yellow yoke on the road jersey of my "Ideal" Predators set.

(original concept)

New Look New York Islanders (Revision #1)

CCSLC user DTConcepts suggested I add the Islanders four-stripe motif to the arms here on the New Look concept, and remove them from the back numbers.

New Look New York Islanders (Revision #2)

B-mer then added a request for a version of the concept with plain arm and sock stripes.

(original concept)

New Look New York Rangers (Revision #1)

DTConcepts suggested I add seafoam green to the striping pattern of my New Look Rangers design.

New Look New York Rangers (Revision #2)

Later on vtgco proposed I connect the cuffs to the arm stripes on the road jersey.

(original concept)

New Look Seattle Kraken

Another vtgco suggestion was to thicken the hem stripes and lower the logo of my New Look Kraken concept.

(original concept)

My Ideal Winnipeg Jets

In a comment here on the blog, Chase A. Carlson recommended I add more navy to the road jersey of my "Ideal" Jets set.

(original concept)

New Look Winnipeg Jets

Lastly back on CCSLC, TheRealPepman proposed I use white for the home jersey's name and numbers on my New Look Jets set.

Thanks for stopping by, and thank you to everyone for all the comments and suggestions throughout this series!  The next post will be the finale of this series.

NHL Double Series - Unused Designs

Welcome back!  Today I'm sharing unused versions of my "New Look" concepts for the Islanders and Capitals.

New Look New York Islanders (Unused)

I ended up going with a normal chest stripe for the actual concept, but as you can see my initial idea was to use the stick-blade (from their secondary logo) as the main design element.

New Look Washington Capitals (Unused)

The final version I went with for the Capitals was based off of their original pant design, but I also considered this variation that was inspired by the flag of Washington DC.

That's all for now!  Come back tomorrow to see some updated NHL Double Series concepts based off of suggestions from the audience.

New Year, New Logo, and New Templates

Happy New Year everybody!  Well 2021 was certainly a year, hopefully 2022 is a better one.

Anyways, I have a couple of updates to share with you all starting with a new logo...

As you can see it's a simple vertically stacked SG monogram, with the S flowing into the G.  I was always a fan of NASA's worm logo, and I used that as my initial inspiration here.  For the colours I choose the Vancouver Grizzlies' "Pacific Turquoise" and black.

For the record, here is what I was using for the blog before today...

Next up, I've finally got around to updating the Templates page!

It had been more than two years since the last updated, so this was long overdue.  I haven't added last years Reverse Retro jerseys though (and I'm not going to, sorry).  But I will try to stay more up to date in the future.

Thanks for visiting!  Come back tomorrow to see a couple of unused concepts from my NHL Double Series (different takes on my "New Look" concepts for the Islanders and Capitals).
