elliott Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Is this the first case of an "alternate" helmet in the NHL? I can't think of it happening before. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannykraft Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Nashville's yellow helmet was originally a saturday alternate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Could the gold helmets work for Vegas? Perhaps. Need gray pants if paired with the home uniform. Would look better on the road. And would look good with the gold alternates I think. I like the idea. It’s Vegas enough for... well, Vegas!

M4One Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Would have made more sense for Vegas to wear their gold helmets with the alternates. If they are only for the Chinese/Lunar New Year, then they the retros would have been a better choice than their regular home. Probably still look bad, but it would at least go with the theme.

FinsUp1214 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Eeesh....on one hand, they’re Goldmember-but-make-it-a-helmet and looks awful. One the other hand, they also look like every drive through Vegas I’ve ever taken, so...I guess if anyone’s going to do it, it ought to be them? I guess what I’m saying is it’s terrible and not my thing, but I’m glad it was Vegas of all teams who did it and not, I don’t know, Pittsburgh or something.

AFirestormToPurify Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Those were completely unannounced right? Like many others have said, it kinda works for them, but chrome gold is overkill, just painted gold metallic with flakes would be an improvement. I do like that some teams could possibly introduce alternate helmets/pants/gloves. Could see Dallas in green gear for special occasions. Nashville with navy helmets. The Avalanche with burgundy pants on the road. Stuff like that. Why not. The NFL kinda does it. If it can be done in moderation of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Fool Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Might wanna tone down the intensity of it but overall I love the idea and wanna see them do it all the time. It's such a Vegas idea. It's loud, obnoxious, never been done, and more importantly it's FUN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayGloria Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Vegas shouldn't get a pass for something that terrible just because "it's Vegas" Vegas hit a grand slam with their home and aways when they first came into the league. But since, the alternate, RR, and these helmets have just been lazy and awful looking IMO. The arm striping on the alternate makes no sense and is really out of place. The RR is fine i guess for the program, but then they pair it with the wrong colored helmet. And these gold helmets don't come close to the gold color in the jersey. :censored:, why don't they just wear helmets with neon lights on them just because, "it's Vegas."

But i will go one step further... what about changing the gray trim on the shoulder/arm yokes to blue? That might really tie everything in and give it some balance. Would love to see that mocked up by someone who is actually skilled unlike myself LOL no skill here but you might enjoy these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i even like switching the arm yoke color on the road white in set 3. The gray is just a pointless color that might actually be throwing everything off. These all look so much more cohesive without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldconcepts Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Adding a blue outline to the stripes and making the numbers blue looks more than okay in my book. Twitter: @ldconcepts / Instagram: @ld.concepts / Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fouhy12 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 The Vegas helmets fall into the so-ugly-it's-good camp for me. I think they could genuinely look good with a different execution. As a novelty thing that gets worn a couple times per season, it's fun. I'm curious to see how they'd look with the gold jerseys. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. This: Would look better paired with the gold in the Knight's uniforms: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDGP Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Honestly, I don’t hate the idea of a gold helmet in hockey, but that’s probably due to the fact I’m used to seeing Notre Dame wear one. However, Vegas definitely needs to go closer to the Notre Dame style, i.e. less chrome. This type of gold would better match the jerseys and I think could be a good medium between traditional and unique. EDIT: Logomaker beat me to it. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!
