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!

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.

(original concept)

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.

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.

Double Red Wings

Hello!

My Ideal Detroit Red Wings

The only change I made here is a slight tweak to the road jersey's collar.  I see no reason to mess with the Red Wings classic look.

New Look Detroit Red Wings

For my "New Look" concept I decided to go with a fauxback design.  The striping pattern is the same on each jersey, with just the base colour changing (their current jerseys do this as well).  I also went with a darker shade of red, a vintage version of their winged-wheel logo, plus canvas and leather coloured pants and gloves.

See you later, and happy Thanksgiving weekend to all my fellow Canadians!

Vipers inspired Red Wings Reverse Retro

Detroit Red Wings

Gordie Howe played for both the Detroit Red Wings (1687 games) and the Detroit Vipers (one shift), so I based this Red Wings Reverse Retro concept off of the Vipers jerseys he wore for that game.  For the logo I chose the modernized D from Detroit's 2016 Stadium Series jersey.

See you in May!

Quick Colour Swap Concepts

I was in the mood to make some quick colour swapped concepts, so that's exactly what I did!

Boston Bruins:

This is just the Bruins third jersey in yellow instead of black.

Dark Mode Detroit Red Wings:

Here's a "dark mode" version of the Red Wings home jersey.

Montreal Canadiens:

I'm sure you've seen this many times before, it's the Canadiens home jersey with red and blue swapped.

New York Islanders:

Next up we have an orange Islanders jersey, which is their road jersey with the main white area coloured in.

Pittsburgh Penguins (Yellow):

This is the Penguins road jersey re-coloured to match their 1980-84 yellow jersey.

Pittsburgh Penguins (Blue):

I also re-created the Penguins 1977-80 double blue set of jerseys.

Vancouver Canucks:

Last but not least we have the Canucks current home jerseys in green instead of blue.

Have a nice day!

Templates Added

Happy New Year!

This is just a quick update to say I've added the templates for the Centennial Classic and Stadium Series jerseys, which means the Templates page is once again up to date.

By the way, I probably won't continue to update these templates once the NHL switches to Adidas next year.  It will depend on how drastic the changes are, if the changes are minor (like if they just switch the Reebok logo for the Adidas logo) then I might keep updating these templates, but if the changes are major then I likely won't.

Thanks for stopping by!
