Calgary Flames While the Flames does share some similarities to their 2011 Heritage Classic uniform the inspiration for this one actually comes from the first battle of Alberta and the 1898 Calgary Fire Brigade hockey team. The colors become a desaturated version of their current colors and the logo is replaced by a script Calgary
-
Buffalo Sabres The Sabres are one of those teams that have dabbled in throwbacks and feauxbacks in the past; heck their current uniforms are throwbacks. So for them I had to find a different source of inspiration. What I ended up doing was using the old Buffalo Bisons as inspiration. I thought about using their regular logo, but it didn't stand out too much so I used their secondary logo from the Heritage and Winter Classic uniforms.
-
Boston Bruins For the Bruins I wanted to do something that was different than any of their throwback or winter classic uniforms. The logo I pulled from old promotional work and then the design is an amalgamation of old Bruins uniforms. I really like the dark/ almost black brown that Boston has been using over the last few years and wouldn't mind if they moved to it full time
-
Arizona Coyotes The Coyotes I did something I'm surprised the team has never done themselves and that's take the jersey the coyote is wearing in their logo and make a jersey based on that. I simplified the colors and dropped green and used the Sedona red for the equipment to harken back to the old leather equipment hockey players used to wear
-
Anaheim Ducks For the Ducks I pulled inspiration from the Hollywood/LA Millionaires of the California Hockey League that ran during the 20's and 30's. I kept the white base but the striping becomes gold. The logo is an adapted version of the Mighty Ducks secondary logo, but Wild Wing is replaced with an actual duck to enhance that retro look. I originally had this as a black jersey but wether I tried orange stripes or gold stripes it looked less like a Ducks jersey and more like a Vegas or Flyers jersey.

So I had the idea of doing a series of jerseys that aren't straight throwbacks, but jerseys that are made to look old but don't have any actual basis on a teams old jersey. Think what Vegas did for this Winter Classic or what teams like the Wild and the Stars did for their outdoor games. For some teams I may pull inspiration from other historic non NHL teams or do an amalgamation of older designs (i.e Bruins Winter Classic jerseys) and some will be completely original. Anaheim Ducks Arizona Coyotes Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Calgary Flames Carolina Hurricanes Chicago Blackhawks Colorado Avalanche Columbus Blue Jackets Dallas Stars Detroit Red Wings Edmonton Oilers Florida Panthers Los Angeles Kings Minnesota Wild Montreal Canadiens Nashville Predators New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Ottawa Senators Philadelphia Flyers Pittsburgh Penguins San Jose Sharks Seattle Kraken St. Louis Blues Tampa Bay Lightning Toronto Maple Leafs Vancouver Canucks Vegas Golden Knights Washington Capitals Winnipeg Jets

A lot of times when people try to give the Pens more traditional striping it ends up looking too much like the Bruins, but using the Steelers striping make this distinctly Pittsburgh. Well done!

Kirby Did a set based on one of my all time time favorite not just Nintendo franchise, but overall video game franchises, Kirby. Pink is the main color of course with accents of a darker pink. The warp star is used in the logos and secondary logs. The number 92 is use as that was when the first Kirby game came out
-
The Little Mermaid Keeping with some more Disney properties I did a set based on Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Designs are pretty straight forward. For all of the jerseys I used the teal of Ariel's tail as the main color as I feel it's the prominent colors of her character design. The hat for the baseball uniform is red like her hair; as well as elements of the football helmet. The basketball and football jerseys employ a scale design; while the hockey jersey gets some wave striping

I'm going to go ahead and post the last couple of teams while I take a break from this series. I will be back with the NFL and NHL, but I need a break San Antonio SpursXHolly Dunn I struggled a little but finding an artist that matched the Spurs, but ultimately landed on country singer Holly Dunn as I was able to keep the Spurs logo on the front; replacing the u in Dunn with the logo Toronto RaptorsXDrake This is one I knew early on I was going to do and it worked out perfectly. A simple swap of Raptors with Drake on the front and then the back features the name of his label OVO Utah JazzXNeon Trees This might be my favorite for an artist I don't listen to. The band Neon Trees utilize a winged heart logo; so I took one wing off and it was an easy replacement for the Jazz logo. The bright yellow jersey that doesn't work well for the Jazz is a perfect fit for a band named Neon Trees as well Washington WizardsXFugazi For the Wizards I decided to go with punk rock band Fugazi. The red white and blue of the Wizards doesn't fit an old school punk band like Fugazi so I swapped in a black and white scheme to better fit the band

An Attempt At Redesigning The NFL (12/32 Denver Broncos 3.0)
johne9109 replied to Chi-Tex_Kidd's topic in Concepts
Brown and yellow surprisingly work for the Broncos, but I can't see another NFL team employing brown as their main color when we already have the Browns. Wonderful concept though -
Just adding a little bit of gold makes the Sens stand out so much
-
These REALLY work!
-
Sacramento KingsXDeftones This is another one of my favorites. The Deftones script works so well on the Kings black jersey. I went with Cheng and 13 on the back in remembrance of band member Chi Cheng who passed away in 2013
-
Portland TrailblazersXThe Shins The Blazers jersey and the Shins work surprisingly well together
-
Phoenix SunsXJimmy Eat World For the Suns I took their really good statement jersey and then took Jimmy Eat World's more current wordmark and applied the gradient to it. For the name on the back I had to go with my personal song; even though it was used for another sports team
-
Philadelphia 76ersXPatti Labelle Pretty straight forward. I took the Sixers statement jersey and added some Patti Labelle branding
-
Orlando MagicXNsync For the Orlando magic I went with Nsync as they also utilize a star in their logo; so the two brandings merged together pretty well
-
Oklahoma City ThunderXToby Kieth For OKC I decided to go with one of my favorite country music artists Toby Kieth. His nickname Big Dog Daddy adorns the back
-
If the Habs ever decided to do a third jersey this would be a perfect choice.
-
New York KnicksXWu Tang Clan For the Knicks I went the Wu Tang Clan. Instead of just putting Wu Tang Clan on the front I went with Wu York as a blend of the two. The name on back is Chambers and the number 36 is a reference to their debut album Enter the Wu Tang (36 Chambers)
-
New Orleans PelicansXLil Wayne The Pelicans had to be Lil Wayne it was a pefect fit. The back features his Weezy nickname
-
Minnesota TimerwolvesXLizzo While not a fan of hes personally the aesthetics worked well together
-
Missed opportunity to revive the Brooklyn Americans moniker, great set
-
Milwaukee BucksXSkylar Grey When looking for that ideas I came cross this wordmark that Skylar Grey uses where the E in Grey is just 3 horizontal lines which reminded me of the segemnted colors on the sides of the Bucks jersey so I went with it
