B-mer

The Bruins have had a lot of uniforms in their near 100 year history. For whatever reason they don't like to throw back to some of the better options. I'm going through and making some of the ones I'd love to see. First up is a more direct callback to the uniforms of the 40s they based their current alternate on. I wanted to stick with modern arrangement of the logo on the front and not directly use the numbers on the front and B on the arms. It's too much for me. This looks cleaner. I first put the same B logo on the helmet, but wanted to see another option so i pulled the bear off of their original logo. reference image:

I was just going to say the same. I remember the Ducks but not the Lightning.

Got away from this (wow, didn’t realize it’s a year old) but realized I should have done the Bruins/Devils swap a little differently, so here’s that. Just reversed the stripe order on each, and honestly some part of me likes these.

Oh I didn’t even notice that. Weird

So the Sting release shows two different CCM treatments on the back. Not sure if this was seen or known. Looks a lot better without the weird stuff.

I like the new secondary logo. Didn’t notice the E in it at first, but just makes it even better.

Interesting update. Wish the jerseys changed a little to see something new. Then again I have no allegiance so I’m not attached in any way.

the logo is actually pretty nice for a bee identity, which is a little odd for hockey i suppose. If you put that on a slightly more traditional jersey i don't think it would look out of place in the AHL or in the OHL, WHL, QMJHL. Hell, change up the colors and the Blue Jackets could have used it.

Manchester Monarchs shutting it down. Sad. They had a good run while in the AHL. Original uniforms were great, and had such potential for a nice upgrade before they copied the Kings’ black/silver. Since it’s my hometown im hoping another team is formed soon. Things just dipped when they dropped to the ECHL. https://arenadigest.com/2019/05/16/manchester-monarchs-cease-operations/

I thought they wore these for their first season, if not first few seasons, before they made things solid.

While getting nostalgic for the pre-Edge NHL and bouncing around google, I found this. Adam Oates in the Oilers McFarland alternate.

I feel like with these new ccm things someone in corporate was in a board meeting emphasizing how they need to draw more attention to their brand logo and underlined it a dozen times on a white board, so that’s what the designer did.

Bakersfield Condors going matching the Oilers. The navy looks real nice and it’s what Edmonton should have done.

Definitely a downgrade. I loved last years set, aside from the socks on the white not matching the rest for some unknown reason. But, I get the sense they went this way to make life easier with equipment and align more to the parent club.

So this apparently slipped by the board? I hadn't seen it posted but I guess CCM is doing some new things. SJ Barracuda apparently showed this new collar a little bit ago as well.

Here's another alternate jersey, bringing back a classic look for the Colorado Avalanche using the Hurricanes' new home jersey as the base. In doing so, it aligns the arm striping with the rest, whereas the original jersey had a burgundy stripe in the middle of the white.

OK, new idea for the Flyers. This works a lot better I think and has a connection to their history in the striping. Of course, this is using the Carolina Hurricanes' road jersey.

more or less keeping jerseys the same with updating logo, wordmark, and it looks like single color numbers. If they made the eye red and put the thick block font N on the shoulders from years ago it would be nearly perfect. I never knew the logo logo from last year was based on their original, which I saw in the video from the link above. Makes it slightly more interesting but still not good. Its too bad UConn pretty much blew all other husky logos out of the water with their rebrand. That logo would look great for NE too.

That's why I'm not as enthused about this set. The home is nice but the road doesn't hold up. I thought of doing as you suggest but wanted orange to remain dominant. Only other idea is using the Rangers road jersey template too, but I was saving that for someone else.

Here's one that maybe looked better in my head, but i went with it. Flyers using the Rangers' home jersey. I went this route for the color balance between white and orange.

That might be the first decent husky logo they've had. I'm not up on all their logos historically, but my sister went there in the late 90's and that's when I started paying attention. Pretty well done. I did like like the red/black paw print though.
