Winnipeg Jets - NHL Sock Series

Welcome back for one final concept in my NHL Sock Series!

Winnipeg Jets

For Winnipeg I went with their road socks, but I ditched the navy blue from the rest of the uniform. The stripes are angled to match the wordmark logo, and the numbers are angled to match the stripes.

As a reminder here's how this series worked, each concept reused a sock design the team had worn at some point in their history. My challenge was to make something new that still matched those socks.

That's the end of this series! Thanks for following along, I had a lot of fun making these concepts!

Washington Capitals - NHL Sock Series

Hello, we've almost reached the end of this series!

Washington Capitals

There have been many concepts over the years which use the Capitals' Weagle logo on a navy blue jersey. This one reuses the home socks they wore after the switch to Reebok Edge jerseys in 2007.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

Tomorrow this series ends with a Jets concept!

Vegas Golden Knights - NHL Sock Series

Hi again!

Vegas Golden Knights

I didn't have many options for the Golden Knights, so I went with a traditional design using their Reverse Retro 1.0 socks.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

Tomorrow we head to Washington D.C. for the penultimate concept of this series!

Vancouver Canucks - NHL Sock Series

Hello folks!

Vancouver Canucks

This Canucks concept combines the colour scheme (and sock design) from their original orca jerseys, with the V on the sleeve stripes from their inaugural jerseys, and their current stick-in-the-rink logo and number font.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

The Golden Knights are coming up next!

Toronto Maple Leafs

For the Maple Leafs I chose the socks they wore during the late 1920's. The logo is the earliest version of their leaf logo.

Welcome everybody!

Tampa Bay Lightning

I went with a wordmark within a chest stripe for the Lightning, using the socks from their Reverse Retro 1.0 jersey.

Toronto is up next, and I went all the way back to the 1920's for them!

Seattle Kraken - NHL Sock Series

How's it going?

Seattle Kraken

It seems like Kraken fans want to see the anchor logo on the front of a jersey someday, so that's what I did here. The striping pattern comes from the socks of their Reverse Retro jersey.

Tomorrow's team is Tampa Bay!

San Jose Sharks - NHL Sock Series

Hello fellow hockey fans!

San Jose Sharks

The Sharks' early 2000's white socks didn't feature any black, which I think works really well to represent the ocean. So I used that striping pattern on the jersey, and added a wave design to the sleeves.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

The Kraken and their anchor logo are up next!

The striping pattern for this concept comes from the socks the Blues wore in the early 2000's. I also recoloured their trumpet logo and used it on the front of the jersey.

Up next is one of my favourite concepts of this series!

This concept brings back the scarf-wearing Penguin logo, and the Penguins' old double blue colour scheme as well. The socks come from their mid 1970's uniforms.

The last time an Ottawa Senators NHL team used a shield logo front and center was in the 1920's. The socks come from Ottawa's 2008-11 SENS alternate jersey.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

New York Rangers

For the Rangers I chose the stripes from the socks they wore during their short lived redesign in the 70's. I also used a vintage version of their shield logo (slightly altered) as the main crest.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

New York Islanders - NHL Sock Series

The other New York team is up next!

New Jersey Devils - NHL Sock Series

Hello and happy Wednesday!

New Jersey Devils

The Devils were another challenging team for this series since all their socks have matched their jerseys. I ended up using their original red socks, but I put the stripes on the shoulders of the jersey. I also used the NJ from their unused prototype logo.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

Tomorrow a lighthouse takes center stage!

Nashville Predators - NHL Sock Series

The Devils are the next team up, and they were a bit of a challenge!

Bonjour!

Montreal Canadiens

For this concept I took the pattern from the Canadiens' white socks and used it as a chest stripe. I then went with red numbers to balance out all the blue.

Spoiler alert for tomorrow's Kings concept, it uses a sash!

Edmonton Oilers - NHL Sock Series

Hello! Hello! Hello!

Edmonton Oilers

The Oilers were a challenging team for this series, since all the socks they've worn have perfectly matched their jerseys. My solution was to pair their orange socks with a blue jersey (a-la the Bruins yellow socks). I also recoloured their primary logo.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

Florida is up next!

Detroit Red Wings - NHL Sock Series

Welcome back again!

Detroit Red Wings

Detroit's home and road socks have been the same since they became the Red Wings in the 1930's, so I went back further and chose the design they used back when they were called the Cougars.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

Come back soon to see what I did with the Oilers orange socks!

Dallas Stars - NHL Sock Series

Hello y'all!

Dallas Stars

The socks paired with the Stars' green star jersey didn't use any black, which makes them a good choice to use for this series. I also chose to use their original Texas-state-outline logo as the primary.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

Columbus Blue Jackets - NHL Sock Series

Hi there!

Columbus Blue Jackets

I've never been a big fan of Columbus' cannon logo, but their fans seem to love it so I used it here (without the outlines though). The Blue Jackets wore this style of socks until 2017.

As a reminder here's how this series works, each concept reuses a sock design the team has worn at some point in their history. My challenge is to make something new that still matches those socks.

Tune back in tomorrow to see what I have in store for the Stars!
