timberwolf Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 GROUP A > SIBIR NOVOSIBIRSK (Russia) The Bruins of Russia. A team that is always a contender, year after year. Sibir capped off an incredible season by making a trip to the finals, before they fell in six games. Led by the vet Jan Groshev, Sibir is set to make a deep run in the champions league. The design was easy. Two bold white stripes on a rich blue background, to emulate the logo. For some reason, the only font that looked really good was the Jets, so I stuck with it. Leave C + C...

wences Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Simple but great. I like the Sibir kits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberwolf Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 Alright, the comments are far and thin but that's totally fine. I didn't really expect a lot initially. Onto Group B! GROUP B - ANAHEIM DUCKS (USA) The Anaheim Ducks are among the few teams that are vying to win the Stanley Cup and the Champions League in the same year. The Ducks defeated the Rangers in six games to clinch a spot in June. This was designed by Daniel Lowry. He combined the past looks with the modern colours to create a good blend. And who doesn't love that logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle1917 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Love the blend of eras on the Ducks, especially the striping. Also, love the color scheme of Amur. Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3 Designs Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Thanks for the feedback on the ducks. I originally had some difficulty creating a striping pattern that wasn't simply a recolored, rehash of an older design. Glad to see it came out well.

JosiahWVU Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Love the Ducks, but I have one problem. I know its probably the template, but the striping is cut off on the left side. Even though it runs into the template I would continue it to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Ducks look perfect. Beautiful blend of eras. I also like the other teams set. It's plain, but it works for that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I've been lurking in this thread for a little bit but have just now gotten around to commenting. I love it all! The uniforms, the backstories, the (I'm assuming) generated names for the stars of the foreign teams. Great job TWolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 To echo everyone else, that's a great era-mix on the Ducks. That's what they should be wearing now, even though their current jerseys are decent. Just out of curiosity, will there be alternate jerseys? "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

I flirted with the idea, but for the sake of consistency, I opted not to. If I ever do the 2023 version of the tournament, I may do alternates or fauxbacks. After this tournament is complete, I think I'll take a haitus from long projects and focus on smaller projects. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberwolf Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 GROUP B - FROLUNDA HOCKEY (Sweden) Frolunda joins Anaheim in list of champions that were draw into the same group. Frolunda defeated the only other Swedish team who qualified in five games in the finals. Frolunda's jewel comes at the duty of John Hardberg, who's stellar 101 point season stunned the critics, who had laid him down to be a mid-70s player. Frolunda takes inspiration from the Stars, where owner Kees Larsson played in the 2000s. The distinctive red colour, paired with their trademark green has become on of the best selling in the tournament. Another design by the talented Daniel Lowry.

timberwolf Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Alright let's keep rolling! GROUP B - DINAMO MINSK (Belarus) Minsk defeated Belarusian rivals Porlito HC in the country qualifying, as well as a quarterfinal appearance in the KHL to qualify. Expected to be favourites of Group B, though in a tough group. Minsk will sport a very untraditional design that debuted in 2020 at the KHL's new outdoor series, created to emulate the Stadium Series. The swooping stripes and clean colours became very popular among KHL stores. In 2021, the team made them into primary kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberwolf Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Alright to finish off Group B! GROUP B - TPS TURKU (Finland) The Finnish runners up is considered to be a weaker team, although capable of bigger things. Coach Ted Hanagan, a Canadian-born Fin, has led the team to the semi finals and beyond for the last three years. Veteran Roman Yurkov is the resident goal scorer and is expected to be a match for the mighty Ducks defence. The design takes inspiration from Armada of the QMHJL. That wasn't the intent, but it worked so well with the logo. The bold chest stripe and balanced yokes made a classic and appealing set, IMO. Another by Daniel Lowry.
