OhioSportsMan61 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The title of the thread says it all... I will be posting my predictions for what I think the NHL/Adidas will be unveiling for their league-wide overhaul next season, as well as changes I would make/what I want to see. We know a few details for what to expect - such as the Oilers wearing their orange alts full time, the Devils rebranding, etc - but according to @Chris Creamer, some teams won't have major changes. So first up... 1) Washington Capitals Prediction: rumor has it that the Caps are thinking about switching to their retro-throwbacks full time. Wish List: a combination of throwback and modernization 2) Tampa Bay Lightning Prediction: they switch to their current third jersey's template to stray away from the Maple Leafs/Red Wings comparison Wish List: bring back the unique Hawaiian blue and throw in some more black Florida and Columbus are next....C&C appreciated.

ldconcepts Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Very nice! Excited for this series! Twitter: @ldconcepts / Instagram: @ld.concepts / Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Nice designs. I think this is fairly accurate, too. I hope they move the 100 patch to the chest, like where you have it. Also, I'll say it again: Stop freaking out about Adidas. Everything will be okay. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-ROY Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I like the Bolts hopeful set, but I think the double border on the NOB is unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patch looks so dumb on the sleeve haha. Also I really don't think Adidas will do anything too extreme since they're the parent company of Reebok. Plus, I follow the Sr. Designer of the NHL's uniforms on twitter (Eric Bodamer) and from a few of his tweets, I get the idea that it'll be relatively tame compared to when Reebok first took over. 8 minutes ago, TRoyConcepts said: I like the Bolts hopeful set, but I think the double border on the NOB is unnecessary. Went back and changed it. I guess in the OP it was supposed to resemble the team's early NOB, but it's much cleaner without it My Behance Portfolio --- Follow @Steinosaur19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point1 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Was waiting for a thread like this. Very plausible stuff so far, nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 That Hawaiian blue set is a thing of beauty. It's a tragedy to see them playing Leafs-dressup when they could look as original and beautiful as that concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krabs Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I remember there was this exact same thread ten years ago for the NHL's switch to Reebok for 2007-08. So this must be a ten year pattern or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worcat Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Good so far. Keep the patch on the arm to keep with consistency. Otherwise it's a full on fantasy I love the lightning bolt down the pant sides. I'd be ok if you switched the helmet colors. white on the road and blue at home, it'd be beautiful so terrible for viewers.

OhioSportsMan61 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 4) Columbus Blue Jackets Prediction: While many prefer the cannon-third jerseys, I don't think there will be major changes to the Jackets' unis. Wish List: They've had basically the same look for years, it feels like a good time to switch things up a bit and form a new identity with their young, talented roster. 5) Florida Panthers Prediction: They literally just unveiled new uniforms this year. Doubt there will be any significant changes. Wish List: Not enough blue (imo), plus I love their new leaping panther logo Rangers and Flyers will be next!

Morgan33 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Beautiful work. I can't find a single thing wrong with any of these concepts thus far. If only the Panthers could look that good now (wishlist version of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I like the update you made to your previous Blue Jackets concept for this, but opposite for the Caps. Small detail but I like it without the shoulder yoke piping. Panthers set is fan-freakin-tastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamiller99 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I like your new Jackets concept (with the yoke), but I really don't like how the 100 looks on the yoke itself, its riding up too high. Could we see a Jackets concept potentially in the Alt color scheme? That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask and ye shall receive re: the NHL 100 patch - I think it's placed fine, if you take a look at Reebok's/Adidas' oversized yokes, it'll most likely overlap a bit. For example, take a look at the captains and alternate captains patches that the Coyotes wear...they overlap with the yoke My Behance Portfolio --- Follow @Steinosaur19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
