Carolina Hurricanes

For the Hurricanes I decided to base it on the flag of Raleigh; which is unique because it is double sided with each side featuring a different crest. Both crests are placed on the shoulders while the jersey itself mimics the design of the flag. The collar reads  "Esse quam videri" which means: To be rather than to seem; the city's motto. the logo becomes monochromatic to match the color scheme as well. The promotional image takes one of the crests from the flag and gives it a Hurricanes spin

Calgary Flames

The Calgary Flames get a Calgary Stampede inspired uniform. The font used and the secondary logo is taken from the logo for the Stampede. the pants, socks, helmet, and gloves take their colors from jeans, hat, and gloves you would see on riders at the stampede. The back of the collar reads stampede city. The promotional image is a recoloring of Calgary's flag

I really like the red pullovers with the Red Sox

Buffalo Sabres

The Buffalo Sabres take their inspiration from the nearby Niagara Falls and their famous winter weather. The overall color is white with a gradient to replicate the foam spray of the falls. The back of the shirt is a recolor of the current sabres collar which in turn is taken from the Buffalo flag. The blues used in the logo in the striping come from the water of Niagara Falls. The promotional logo takes the City of Buffalo seal and gives it a Sabres spin.  

Boston Bruins

I originally wanted to stay away from doing some revolutionary war themed, but Boston is so steeped in that history it was hard to avoid. The jersey features 13 red and white stripes (including the collar) to represent the original 13 colonies. the shoulders feature the join or die snake and Massachusetts flag. The logo is colored to replicate the Colonial Colors (one of the first flags of the union. 1775 is also inscribed on the inside of the collar. The promotional image is a take on this Boston tea party logo I found and put a hockey spin on

That Arizona one is really nice. 

Thanks

Arizona Coyotes

I knew going into this one that I didnt want to got the easy route and put the state flag on the jersey. Instead I took a desert/redrock color palette and did a staged gradient with it as well as adding in a cactus green color and a blue for the skies. The promo image combines the state logo and a previous Coyotes wordmark

What city background is that featured? Certainly not Anaheim since I’m from there. Looks like Long Beach which is close by. Hopefully it isn’t LA cause that’s a whole separate area which isn’t related to Orange County whatsoever! 
 

Uniform itself is quite interesting. Totally different than what I would expect. Can’t wait to see the rest of this series. STAY MIGHTY!!!  
 

 

The background image I got when I Google searched Anaheim skyline so if it's not Anaheim I'm sorry Google misled me.

Strong start. The Ducks look shockingly good in double blue.

 

Where did you get that template at? It’s a thing of beauty.

Thanks! The template comes from sportstemplates.com it's a newer template of theirs

Anaheim Ducks

For the Ducks I wanted to draw upon the connection to Disney and Disneyland being such a large part of the area. The uniform and logo takes it's colors from the old Disney castle logo. The font and numbers is also a nod to Disney. The shoulders features a circle of white stars which is pulled from Anaheim's flag. The unique sleeve and sock striping was done to replicate the look of the Disney logo from the 90's. The collar features Anaheim's motto of City Of Kindness. Also featured is a promotional wordmark that combines Anaheim's seal and the Ducks old secondary logo

Now for the final part of my four part series. So the 4 major American sport leagues (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA) all feature a unique uniform program; MLB- City Connect, NHL- Reverse Retro, NFL-color rush, NBA- City edition.) I decided to swap them around between the leagues. The first of these that I did was the MLB getting Color Rush uniforms and then I did the NFL getting City Edition uniforms, followed by the NBA and Reverse Retro uniforms. The final part of this series is the NHL with City Connect uniforms. As always comments and critiques an welcomed.

Nashville Predators

 

I haven't received much for comments with the last few teams, but I'd really love to hear about Nashville, I think it's one of my favourites. Not because I did some crazy new striping, but because of how the new primary logo turned out. I used the shoulder logo from the Preds Winter Classic uniform and updated it, added some white, some details from the current primary. I think the current Preds logo is fine, but once I saw that shoulder logo, I just loved that one more. I didn't really change the striping but I made it feel like there's more blue. I made the helmets blue like they should be. I think this new logo option just fits better. I'm biased but I love how this looks.

 

 

For the alternate I went with the obvious guitar pick logo and the 5 lines across for the music aspect. I think that pretty much describes that. The city jersey was easy and hard at the same time. Because I used a music aspect for the alternate, I didn't want to just copy it. I brought the piano keys to the waist, and altered the guitar pick logo to look like the neon lights down Broadway. I did a similar thing for the numbers. This has been my favourite team so far, but there is even better teams coming up, so stay tuned! And C&C is very much appreciated. 

 

That logo came out great good job

I removed the silver and limited it to the two colored stripe. I like your idea of placing it towards the bottom, however, that's very similar to what I may be doing with Buffalo - so to keep them differentiated, I'm going to leave as is. I do appreciate all the feedback though! I think the design has come a long way over the past few days and I'm pretty happy with the overall look. 

 

Here's the final revision to New England...

love it

Fully understand and respect all the feedback. The 1776 and the stars were actually a very last minute addition to the set. I still love it overall, but I totally see how these may be better suited to be more of an alternate than they are a primary set.

 

For what it's worth - here was the original design for the home, away and alt.

 

 

This is an improvement. I liked how you downplayed silver in your original concepts. I'd prefer white helmets and white or blue pants. That's just me though and I know silver is pretty engrained into the Patriots look at this point.

Nice idea, but the faux back is the best out of all the uniforms, and that’s a problem. Maybe don’t lean too far into the 1776 theme, and focus more on the Pats’ history than the nation’s.

Agree the Blue throwback is the only good one here

I think this has helped me figure out why I don’t like the normal creamsicle uniforms

 

Its the Bucco Bruce logo. The flag is clearly the better option.

Agree 100%

Colorado Avalanche

 

The Colorado Avalanche. They almost have the perfect uniform set. Almost. The switch from the black helmet and pants didn't sit well with many people, I'm thinking it was just so much of a change it was hard to get used to. I'm glad they took away the black, it never made much sense. But the blue looks strange as well. I did some minor changes to the home and road. I replaced the grey striping with white on the home and blue on the road. I also changed the pants, helmet, and gloves to red instead of blue. It's hard to tell if it would work with it all laid out like this, and I don't quite have the photoshop skills to mock it up on a picture. But I think it may look less strange than the blue pants did. Nothing too crazy done to the home and road, they're pretty much ideal already for me, besides those striping changes.

 

 

The alternate takes a far different turn than ever seen before for Colorado. I love the Yeti foot logo. It's one of my favourites from the Avs. Not enough to be a primary, but it makes for a great alternate logo. I was thinking of going for something similar to their current alternate, but it's just boring. I went with a new striping pattern, something I thought signifies an avalanche. Snow cascading down a mountain, starting with just a little bit of snow, and escalating into more and more. The stripes getting thicker and thicker as they go down the sleeve. It's eye catching, stands out, and is a different uniform than the Avs have ever seen. Perfect for an alternate. It also features the navy blue, just to further have it stand out from the home and road set. The City jersey uses the great colours of the Colorado state flag. The Avs already use a logo closely resembling the flag logo, so recolouring that logo seemed like the perfect idea. It also comes with recoloured shoulder patches.

 

 

C&C is appreciated!

LOVE the big foot jersey

Boston Bruins

 

Sound the alarms! haha I changed up the look slightly of an original 6 team. Black is such a prominent colour for so many teams, I thought why not bring brown back into the Bruins set. It's not even that crazy because it has existed in their identity in the past. Jersey striping stays consistent, but I did simplify the logo somewhat. I always thought there was too many strokes and outlines in the current logo. So not much change beyond the logo and brown instead of black.

 

The black makes a return in the alternate uniform though. It's based on a previous alternate design, but with some modern details, and the colours swapped. So almost like a reverse retro style king of thing. The city uniform is heavily based on the city flag, elements of the Boston Marathon, and the logo plays off of the markers on the Freedom Trail, which I just learned existed today. It makes for a unique logo and uniform that ties directly back to Boston. The idea for the tie back to the Marathon comes from what the Red Sox did with their City Connect uniforms. It made enough sense to me to replicate that idea in this uniform. And it may be the only uniform in the series with lower case letters in the back name plate.

 

C&C appreciated, and if you're from Boston and are slightly offended by my take at a city jersey, I'm very sorry haha. And if you have ideas for the previous and future city jerseys, you can add it to your C&C, I'd love to know what people from various NHL cities think should go on their team's city jersey.

Bringing back the brown works with it being such a dark brown that I didn't even realize it was brown. I'd be interested in seeing the white uniform using the black, well dark brown for your color scheme, B. I always liked how the team did the different colors on their jerseys in the past. The alternate I think suffers from your same complaint of the current logo. Too many strokes. The City uniform works so much better for the B's than the Sox. If you hadn't done a yellow alternate I'd say make the city uniform yellow more like what the Sox did, but with there already being a yellow uniform I wouldn't double up on the color; unless you made the alternate black........Either way great work

yea i haven't made one yet. it's kinda hard to make city edition courts for them because their city jerseys always already match their main court

 Makes sense 

Is there a reason there's no Celtics courts? (maybe I missed them)

Went back to white on the jersey stripes. It was something I tried, given how light the silver and white are next to each other, but white on the jersey makes more sense. 

*muah* Chef's kiss. Perfect

New England Patriots - 1985+1993 - I couldn't just throw the current colors onto the 85 uniforms, but I could bring in some early 90's influences and make for a more fun Reverse Retro. 

• Helmet - silver 1985 style helmet, complete with Patriot Pat, this time in the 90's rebrand colors.
• Jersey - 1985 style jersey, with silver + red stripes, red chest numbers based on the 1993 jerseys. 
• Pants - you get where I'm going with this.    

 

I don't personally like the silver (I personally think it needs to lave the Pats rotation), but I get why it's here. The 90' rebrand initially introduced the silver. I think the jersey should still use white though. The 90's jerseys still used white on them. A great look though. I would instantly buy this jersey

I would swap the white and black on the logo, lettering, and numbers. Otherwise great Bruins set

Washington Football Team

The Washington Football Team takes inspiration from the Washington DC Flag. I used the teams maroon color over the red seen in the flag. The logo on the helmet is also similar to what the Washington Capitals have used on their alternate/Stadium Series uniforms. And with that we are finished! Next I'll be working on the NBA doing a reverse retro series so keep your eyes open for that. Thank you for your comments and critiques are always welcome

Tennessee Titans

With Nashville being the home of country music I decided to bring that aesthetic to the Titans. The uniform gets a rustic color scheme similar to an acoustic guitar or the colors seen on stage at the Grand Ole Opry. The logo loses it's flames and instead is put within a guitar pick while guitar strings are made into the striping on the pants
