  1. Anahiem-Looks great, but the horizontal striping of the sleeves clashes with the diagonal striping of the body. I would go with one or the other

    Boston-Even if they revert back to their jerseys from before I hope more than anything they keep the logos they came out with this year. The yellow B on the dark jersey and the black B on the white jersey is such a clean look and I love that you did that here. 

    Buffalo-No notes; great job.

    Calgary-I personally loathe Blasty, but these are good designs

    Tampa Bay Rays

    This design is inspired by two Tampa Minor League teams: the main design is inspired by the "Tampa Smokers" who existed from 1919-1954, and the patch is inspired by the Tampa Tarpons that existed from 1957-1988. Big thanks to @raysox for providing the font that I used!

    Not entirely sold on the script, but the rest of the jersey is a beaut

  3. New York GiantsXRedman

    For the next two teams I decided to be a little cheeky and chose artists who have ties to both New Jersey and New York; due to both New York NFL teams playing out of Jersey. For the Giants I went with Redman as he is from New Jersey, but is heavily associated with New York due to his association with Methodman and Wu-Tang. I took the Giants throwback helmet and replaced blue with blue with lack and then put Redman's wordmark. An underline underneath emphasizes Giants look

    I get that the oversized stripes aren't to everyones taste, so here are the home and road with smaller stripes.

    I would probably still choose the larger stripes, but I do like the smaller stripes.

    And a road uniform with thick stripes with the black B and gold spokes version of the Bruins logo.

    Calgary Flames

    Home and road for the Flames, the striping is now a 1-1-3-1-1 ratio and Blasty is on the shoulder, I wanted him on the jersey, but decided to be subtle about it. Well, as subtle as a fire breathing horse can be. The main motif from the flag of Calgary serves as the Captain's patch, and the hangar effect is Onward, the motto of the city of Calgary. The strap for the home bucket is now white as it was from 1980 to 1994.

    The alternate is a take on the 1998-2007 Blasty uniform, with the main logo having the white outline and black parts removed, to give the effect of Blasty looking out from the shadows. Like the home and road, the jersey uses the itallicised font.

    C+C would be cool.
     

     

    Yellow B on the home and Black B on the away for the win! Looks great. I love the individual C and A patches for Calgary

    One more for today.  The New England Patriots. 


    As anyone can tell from my account name and avatar, I am a Bills fan, avidly since the age of 12.  So, I have not had much positive to say about the Patriots in a long time.  I liked the Patsies when they wore red, had Pat the Patriot on the helmet and won 3 games a year.  That is the natural order of things.  I am still convinced that Tom Brady, along with several of our post-1999 elections, and 9/11, and MTV never playing music, and Generation Z college kids wearing pajamas and fuzzy animal slippers to class, and a few other oddities, are all signs that the world ended at the Millennium and we are all actually living in pretty shoddily made matrix.  I mean, come on!!! Tuck rule my ass!!  

     

    Anyway, I wanted to return the Patriots to their red-emphasis glory and their on-field irrelevance, so the design pulls in a lot of elements from the Steve Grogan era, along with a few nods to the early Belicheat (sorry force of habit) years.   Notes below. 

     

    spacer.png

     

    1. First off, Pat the Patriot is back.  It is a great logo.  Yes, a bit cartoony, but it is both a Patriot and a football player, what more could you ask for? And it sits on a white shell, which just works. 

    2. One of my favorite Patriot looks ever was the pant set that they used only the 1st year of the Flying Elvis.  I love how the blue transitions to the red just as in the logo.  It works so well on the pants.  So, that style is back, now on white pants or inverted with red pants.  

    3. I put the same basic stripe pattern on the helmet, and I think it works OK there, at least it is a bit different from just a straight up throwback look. 

    4. I pulled in some more modern elements with the numbering, the first use of silver in the new look.  and I decided that while the shoulder stripe worked fine on the red jersey, it did not really pop for the white jersey, so I went with the shoulder stripe-colored sleeve combo, which I often like quite a bit. 

    5. You will see I also reverted to the older "Patriotic" font for the wordmark.  It is very busy, but it is also very NE Patriots in my mind. 

    6. The alt look brings back more of the recent elements of Patriot design, the silver helmet, blue jersey, etc.  I did not go fully Brady era, keeping the older pants and using a blue facemask instead of red.  I consider this their nod to blue as a dominant color but with a team that normally stresses red.  

     

    So, before you critique this look, just know that my first version just had a repeating "cheaters" over and over as the stripe, and a poop emoji as the logo.  So, considering that, this is an act of kindness on my part for the Patriots.  

    Ok as a Patriots fan I love this. Yes we were way more successful in blue, but I love the throwback look as well and you did a great job not only bringing it back, but also modernizing it in ways. The blue alt is beautiful as well. I really enjoy how you made these uniforms look patriotic without just putting stars and stripes everywhere. Amazing job

    Not intentionally, the middle O in the SVG file readjusted itself during resizing for some reason and I only noticed long afterwards. I like the effect though.

    Boston Bruins

    Home and away for Boston are pretty much the classic Bruins look, with the return of the gold stockings. The stripe below the yoke has been squared off, and the stripes are larger. For the road, the white stripe between the sleeve end and the gold stripe has been removed. The bruins, the inner collar stripe and part of the NHL logo are brown as a nod to the first colour scheme of the team, generally I would keep the brown for Winter/Heritage classics and anniversary uniforms, but I wanted brown somewhere on the uniform. Hangar Effect is the script "Boston Strong".

    The gold alternate jersey has the striping from the home stockings and the black and gold swapped on the central logo.

    C+C would be cool.
     

    Pretty much a perfect Bruins set. I will say if you're gonna use different color B's between the home/away and the alternate then maybe try putting the black B on the away jersey as well like the team did pretty much until the 90's. I personally feel it's a much cleaner look than black B's on both or yellow B's on both. Great design either way

    95b9b4c49a73cfa5b64d8d7bc0c19abfd8a9ab12

     

    Home and road for the Avs aren't too far from the original design the team used and won two Stanley Cups with. The black breezers and mitts along with the deeper burgundy introduced in 1999 are all here, but the blue is a new shade to contrast better with the burgundy, and a light shade of blue is introduced as an accent colour. On the shoulders is the mountain logo, and on the inside of the collar is the C from the Colorado state flag.

     

    56ac8fae0fabb33c4b7670e923f592b59cbc7815

    The alt pairs navy with blue.

    C+C would be cool.

    Gotta agree I much more prefer the blue gear over the black; however the maroon gear is quite an interesting choice and looks better than the black. The blue alt is great and a vast improvement over their current alt

    Probably a bit of both, it's a lot simpler than most Caps jerseys and it has the Weagle logo, there is a probable reason that it's not been used as a primary when you look at it alongside all the other primary logos of teams past and present. The wings of the eagle are raised well above the head, so there is a lot of empty space between the midline of the logo and the collar, which makes it feel a bit off.

    The 95-07 primary leaves less space between the midline and the collar, which might help with the sparse look.

    Now onto Elmont.....

    c4d3847c663701cdda9642625896dcc3877da001

     

    These don't stray far from the classic Isles look, the home is a take on the 1978-84 look, the road from the same era. The breezers have the 4 stripe motif on one side, and on the shoulders is the lighthouse logo from the Fishsticks jersey, recoloured in royal blue, white and orange.  I love that shoulder patch, and think it's long overdue an appearance on an othodox looking Isles jersey.

    75ee39ae2bc3af8d3bbd9a0223979dac1b52dc01

     

    The alt is something new for the Islanders, using teal as the base colour alongside navy, and with a rejigged Gortons Fisherman logo on the front. The four stripes are present as a wave pattern on the sleeves, hem and hose.

    C&C would be cool.

     

     

     

    While I prefer the weagle over the screaming eagle as a logo on it's own; the screaming eagle definitely looks better on this design. 

     

    I agree the lighthouse is a great shoulder patch and should definitely be on their jerseys. The 4 stripes on the pants is a great touch; I'm surprised I haven't seen that more often as it makes more sense being there than being on the shoulders. The alternate took me aback at first but each time I look at it I like it more and more. It takes the most outlandish parts of the fishrman uniform and streamlines it in a great way. I love the use of teal as the main color and how it minimally uses orange. The 4 stripes/waves is a great touch that could be missed on first glance. Another great job 

  9. Minnesota VikingsXPrince

    So for the Timberwolves I said I didn't go with Prince because they already did a Prince jersey; so I did it for the Vikings. With the purple it seemed like a no brainer. The logo gets featured on the helmet and I had tried orientating like the horns on the Vikings helmet, but it didn't work out so I placed it so the curve in Prince's logo is in a similar place

    Thanks, here is a version with blue mitts.

    Now on to the team from The District.

    Washington Capitals

    6b363581d2ba38fe12cd58aa604ea6e29dbdd01a

     

    Home and road use a variation of the colour scheme introduced in 2007, and striping that is inspired by the jerseys from 1997-2007. The shade of red is called Red Tape a deeper, more cherry shade than the team currently use, and it's paired with an unsaturated shade of dark blue.  On the front, the Weagle takes center stage, and the Alternate Captains patch is taken from the script on the 1995-2017 alternate logo.

    On the breezers is part of the 1995-2017 alternate logo, and on the shoulders is a patch consisting of three stars and two sticks, mimicing the flag of D.C., with the script D.C. HOCKEY beneath. The hanger effect is the Capitol Dome.

     

    f992c86ad63363f3f4e0c126b7c5d0682083a60b

     

    A similar colour scheme used between 1995 - 2017 is used for the alternate, with the blue and bronze shades differing. On the front is the screaming eagle, the script that was on the 95-97 hem striping is on the breezers. Like the home and road, the alternate gets split colour hose.


    3adbc8d2c96ec9ce9642dffd0a7efe14ec403a7f

     

    The shoulder patch for all three uniforms, two red sticks and three stars, the D.C. HOCKEY script and a navy outline (Black on the Alternate).

    C+C Would be cool.

     

     

    Love the shoulder patch feels modern, yet retro at the same time and incorporates he DC flag as well great job. I'm not sure what it is, but it feels like there's something missing from the Caps home and away jerseys. The alternate looks fine, but something about the other two feels incomplete or off. Maybe it's the logo is angled in the alternate and not in the other two that's throwing it off or it could just be Washington jerseys are usually overly designed with wordmarks and stars and weird striping that a simplified design just seems off for them. Still really well designed

    Thanks, the addition of the silver was intentional, originally I was going to just recolour the West Coast Express striping while leaving silver, but it didn't really work, so decided to update the current Canucks striping with some West Coast Express touches.

    Here is the alt with the Flying Skate logo.

    7d6af54c2aeb5638643589ef44c32b8cd063a21d

     

    I prefer the Orca to the Skate myself.

     

     

    That logo is just great and it really should make a comeback, it feels more fun than the shield logo.

    Seattle Kraken

    0543236b191fa96d238e93bb3925c368e126d09f

     

    Home and road for the Kraken. The team got their colour scheme pretty much spot on from the get go, so it's unchanged except for a more saturated and more pinkish red for the eye staring out of the depths and the red lines. The striping is similar to the RL Kraken, but with the hem striping matching the sleeves (flipped on the hem on the home) and with each stripe being twice the thickness of the previous.

    The anchor shoulder logo is in an emerald shaped shield, and the Kraken part of the teams wordmark is on the breezers along with a red stripe. The font for the name and number is Market Deco, and the Alternate Captains patch is the A in the Kraken wordmark.

    7f98073b99a4d16cbf639208444b7ef64951bf37

     

    The alt has striping similar to the home and road, with the anchor logo taking centre stage without the emerald shield shape. The primary team logo is on both shoulders, and the TV number is moved to the yoke panel. The gloves, breezers and bucket are the same as the home jersey. I designed the alt as an alternate with a similar style to the home and road instead of harking back to a previous team from Seattle's hockey history (I prefer to save that for Heritage/Winter Classics).

    C+C would be cool.

    I like the choice of name and number font; a nice homage to Pike Place Market. The alternate is great.

    The design is cool don't get me wrong. One issue though. The band is from San Francisco, not Los Angeles. So putting them with the Rams is a bit sacrilege. 

    They were formed in LA and Lars and James are both from the LA area so that's why I went with them, but you're right the band has been based out of SF for the part. I look for a replacement; thanks for pointing that out

    Home and Road for the Canucks, these use the blue and green like the current set, as those are the colours that the team started in the NHL with and they should stick with them.

     

    The blue is a shade between that used on their second RR and the blue the team currently use for their home and road, and the green is slightly more bluish than the current shade. The striping also has silver in it, I wanted some West Coast Express stylings in the uniforms and the silver in the striping and the angled sleeve stripes were inspired by those uniforms.  Above the sleeve stripes are oversized stadium series style numbers. The stick in rink is on the shoulders, with white ice on the home and road, and on the pants sits Johnny.

    The Hanger Effect are the Twin Sisters just north of Vancouver.

     

    417ebc286e9e8aeb239b413ce36d270d351ffb01

     

    The Alternate uses the black, orange and gold of the Flying V jerseys, again with West Coast Express style striping.

     

     

    I really like the use of a slightly bluer green and the addition of silver is a great touch that I don't know if it was intentional, but feels like a tasteful nod to their more eccentric uniforms from the late 90's/early 00's. I didn't think I would like the logo keeping the C white, especially on the white jersey, but it helps keep the idea of the orca breaking through the ice. The alternate doesn't look bad at all with the orca logo on it, but I think it would benefit from the updated skate logo that the Canucks introduced last season. Great start; looking forward to the rest

  14. Los Angeles ChargersXBlink 182

    So with the Chargers I wanted to go with an act that had ties to LA and San Diego due to the teams history and Blink fit the bill perfectly. The bolt is replaced with the bands logo and I used the pink and teal color scheme that has become synonymous with the band. Chargers helmets also feature a player number so I also placed 182 to replicate this feature.
