JJ Anderes Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 It's been a few months since my last thread, so I figured I'd start a new one. Hopefully I can keep this going for a while and maybe even finish it. As we all know, many of the recent outdoor jerseys have drawn plenty of criticism. In this series I'm revisiting every NHL outdoor sweater to fix the problems that ruined the uniforms. I'm starting with the most recent game and working backwards all the way to the first Heritage Classic in 2003. Here we go! 2018 STADIUM SERIES - ANNAPOLIS, MD WASHINGTON CAPITALS While the Capitals' uniforms weren't terrible, they could use some improvement. The "cummerbund" is no longer an issue and the white yoke is now red. I also added elements that represent the city of DC while also giving a nod to the US military. TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS The original uniforms were hard to look at, especially in person, as I went to the game. I got rid of the white pants and added a few things here and there that again represent the city of the team and their country's military. C&C is welcome and appreciated.

appleclock Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 You just went up 900 points for simply eliminating the white pants. That was like a bunch of polar bears in a snowstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Fantastic. Just fantastic. As a Caps fan, I would buy that immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoE38_Concepts Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 These are both great. Definitely better than what was actually worn. My only change would be to experiment with the camo pattern between the two stripes for the Leafs. Other than that. They're perfect. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ Anderes Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 2018 WINTER CLASSIC BUFFALO SABRES Don't get me wrong, I am in love with the Sabres' original uniform. In my opinion this was one of the best-dressed Winter Classics so far. Rather than making minor tweaks to a near perfect jersey, I figured I would make something completely new using that awesome new buffalo logo. I'm always a fan of those rare color on color matchups, so I made the Sabres' jersey gold for this series. NEW YORK RANGERS This jersey was also a hit, but it did have its issues. The shield logo crowded the front of the uniform, and the phantom shoulder striping looked out of place. Both of those issues were fixed here. I also altered the striping and the jersey crest to further separate this uniform from the design of their regular home jersey. C&C is welcome and appreciated.

JJ Anderes Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 2017 NHL100 Classic OTTAWA SENATORS Not too happy with what the Senators did with their original uniform. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't creative. This would've been a perfect chance to try something new for a change. Silver is also featured prominently throughout the jersey honoring both the NHL's centennial year and the history of hockey in Ottawa back in the days of the Silver Seven. MONTREAL CANADIENS Similar things can be said about Montreal's original uniform. It wasn't ugly but it lacked creativity and looked too similar to their current road uniforms. This would've been a perfect opportunity to switch things up...why not go blue for a game? Color vs. color matchups are always fun to watch.

NoE38_Concepts Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Not sure how well-received a blue uni for the Habs would be but it looks great. Sens are amazing as well. Good work! @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The Sabres one is nice. It just has way too much of a Team Sweden vibe for me with the complete lack of white anywhere. Likewise for the Ott/Mtl... Nice, but the lack of white makes them very color rushy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 That Senators jersey would be a fantastic starter for a new home/road set. Make the silver on the jersey white or metallic gold, and just have the logo colored as normal and bam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I love it when a designer has the courage to go outside the box with the Canadiens. That said, the silver is the only part of it that feels off. What about a vintage white? As to Ottawa, the silver is very interesting choice, but I like it. it'll be hard to convey in a flat graphic design, but to me, the silver needs to feel like it's a shinier, brighter sort of silver than a flat grey. The Sens have always felt like they should have a more opulent aspect to them, with shiny metals. But even as is, these are both great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Anderes Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 2017 STADIUM SERIES PITTSBURGH PENGUINS I liked Pittsburgh's decision to go gold, but that's about it. The shoulder numbers, the gold helmets, the oversized shoulder logo, everything, was awful. Here I fixed those issues while changing both the secondary logo and the striping to honor hockey history in Pittsburgh. PHILADELPHIA FLYERS Philly's uniform was slightly better. I got rid of the parts that were most complained about, like the orange nameplate and the outlined numbers. I also slightly altered the arm striping. C&C is welcome and appreciated as usual.

JJ Anderes Posted September 5, 2018 Author Share Posted September 5, 2018 2017 WINTER CLASSIC ST. LOUIS BLUES Not much wrong with these jerseys. I added a shoulder yoke to make it seem less bare and I used white instead of beige. CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS While Chicago's jerseys were equally good, they were too similar to their current road uniforms and previous outdoor jerseys. I switched things up a bit, basing this concept off uniforms used from 1937-1955. C&C is welcome and appreciated as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
