neo_prankster Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 After toying with the idea of a 40 team fictional hockey league, I've decided instead on doing my own 40 team NHL in an alternate universe. The 1992-93 NHL alignment served as the starting point. As more teams are added, some existing teams will switch divisions if necessary. Smythe: Calgary Flames (Flames 2.0) Edmonton Oilers Los Angeles Kings San Diego Gulls (1993-94) San Jose Sharks Vancouver Canucks Colorado Cougars (1993-94) Arizona Coyotes (1996-97) Norris: Chicago Blackhawks (Hawks 2.0) Detroit Red Wings Houston Aeros (1993-94) Minnesota North Stars St. Louis Blues Toronto Maple Leafs Winnipeg Jets Dallas Texans (1997-98) Adams:Boston Bruins Buffalo Sabres Cleveland Barons (1993-94) Hartford Whalers Montreal Canadiens Ottawa Senators Quebec Nordiques Patrick:New Jersey Devils New York Islanders New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers Pittsburgh Penguins Tampa Bay Lightning Washington Capitals Mighty Ducks of Orlando (1996-97) Charlotte Checkers (1997-98) From there, teams will be added (or moved if need be). For the 16 expansion/relocation slots, here's what I'm thinking of. Select four for the Smythe, four for the Norris and so on. You can shuffle teams to other divisions if necessary. Anaheim Atlanta Baltimore Charlotte Cincinnati Cleveland Dallas Denver Hamilton Hampton Roads Houston Indianapolis Kansas City Las Vegas Miami Milwaukee Nashville New Orleans Oklahoma City Orlando Phoenix Portland Salt Lake City San Diego Saskatoon Seattle Now on to the concepts, we start with the Minnesota North Stars. The shoulder patch, of course, is a re-purposed version of the Wild's State of Hockey logo with different colors. C&C Welcome.

Kevin W. Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 One thing you might want to adjust is the placement of the numbers on the sleeves. As you have them placed now, they'd be off-center. You should only be able to see half of the number on each sleeve. Mighty Ducks of Anaheim (CHL - 2018 Orr Cup Champions) Chicago Rivermen (UBA/WBL - 2014, 2015, 2017 Intercontinental Cup Champions) King's Own Hexham FC (BIP - 2022 Saint's Cup Champions) Portland Explorers (EFL - Elite Bowl XIX Champions) Real San Diego (UPL) Red Bull Seattle (ULL - 2018, 2019, 2020 Gait Cup Champions) Vancouver Huskies (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo_prankster Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Next, the Winnipeg Jets, based on the RCAF sweaters: And a very slight Bolts tweak. The colors on the cloud and bolt on the home sweater are changed to see if it's more visible against the electric blue background: C&C Welcome.
