Do they keep it in the back pocket just for certain times? It is superior to the DS for sure. I also like the whalers look that goes up higher on the arm. New Jersey: Really like the striping you went with, it feels very college to me. Their UNJ logo has looked best on a hockey sweater imo. Wilford Woodruff: Has an awesome script and I wish they had numbers to match the flowing nature of it. Going with that thick stripe with two very thin stripes is a consistent look you see in the NCAA, and although it isn’t my personal favorite I think it accomplishes the goal of the series. (Feels like Northern Michigan to me) Denver: I love the colors, but I feel that the orange stripe could be thicker. It looks like all three colors are balanced in the logo so I just assumed they were all meant to be equal in use. Do they lean more on the navy and green? Using orange as more of an accent. Dakota Tech: Has the identity of a classic hockey school and there is nothing not to love about them. Boston: Think their script is the best option for the chest, but again this is a timeless look for them. Really love the silver and green Thanks for the solid feedback. Hopefully this will address some previous comments as well: Detroit State - The Giant has been mostly phased out, however it is a fan favorite, and is used for special events. New Jersey - I have always preferred their UNJ logo, so I like to use that one more. Denver State - Much like Notre Dame, Denver State really likes to use blue and green, so orange tends to take a backseat. Up next we head up to Alaska for the classic looking Seals. They wear their classic orange throwbacks for about as many home games as their actual home uniform. #9 Alaska State Seals Alaska State University Location: Bethel, AlaskaType: Public UniversityFounded: 1960 Conference: Western Hockey Conference National Championship Runners-Up: 2 1988, 2000 Frozen Four Appearances: 3 1988, 2000, 2007 Conference Championships: 5 1988, 1993, 1997, 2000, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska State is a newer school, but DC Tech (1961), Hawaii State (1962), Honolulu (1967), UT-Fort Worth (1970), and the University of Saipan (1971) are all younger.

BurdBranding Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Feels like a Trail Smoke Eaters/Philadelphia Quakers mix. Especially those orange throwbacks. Orange is my favorite color and trail smoke is my favorite junior team, believe it or not.... outside the team I played for, of course, but I feel obligated to say that. Everything about this screams my aesthetic besides the number font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely! The diagonal script is a popular look in college already, and with that connection, they have a look that would also look great in the big apple.
