johne9109 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Now for the final part of my four part series. So the 4 major American sport leagues (MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA) all feature a unique uniform program; MLB- City Connect, NHL- Reverse Retro, NFL-color rush, NBA- City edition.) I decided to swap them around between the leagues. The first of these that I did was the MLB getting Color Rush uniforms and then I did the NFL getting City Edition uniforms, followed by the NBA and Reverse Retro uniforms. The final part of this series is the NHL with City Connect uniforms. As always comments and critiques an welcomed.

johne9109 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Anaheim Ducks For the Ducks I wanted to draw upon the connection to Disney and Disneyland being such a large part of the area. The uniform and logo takes it's colors from the old Disney castle logo. The font and numbers is also a nod to Disney. The shoulders features a circle of white stars which is pulled from Anaheim's flag. The unique sleeve and sock striping was done to replicate the look of the Disney logo from the 90's. The collar features Anaheim's motto of City Of Kindness. Also featured is a promotional wordmark that combines Anaheim's seal and the Ducks old secondary logo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Strong start. The Ducks look shockingly good in double blue. Where did you get that template at? It’s a thing of beauty. 1 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not Anaheim since I’m from there. Looks like Long Beach which is close by. Hopefully it isn’t LA cause that’s a whole separate area which isn’t related to Orange County whatsoever! Uniform itself is quite interesting. Totally different than what I would expect. Can’t wait to see the rest of this series. STAY MIGHTY!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 Arizona Coyotes I knew going into this one that I didnt want to got the easy route and put the state flag on the jersey. Instead I took a desert/redrock color palette and did a staged gradient with it as well as adding in a cactus green color and a blue for the skies. The promo image combines the state logo and a previous Coyotes wordmark 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johne9109 Posted March 31, 2022 Author Share Posted March 31, 2022 Boston Bruins I originally wanted to stay away from doing some revolutionary war themed, but Boston is so steeped in that history it was hard to avoid. The jersey features 13 red and white stripes (including the collar) to represent the original 13 colonies. the shoulders feature the join or die snake and Massachusetts flag. The logo is colored to replicate the Colonial Colors (one of the first flags of the union. 1775 is also inscribed on the inside of the collar. The promotional image is a take on this Boston tea party logo I found and put a hockey spin on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Buffalo Sabres The Buffalo Sabres take their inspiration from the nearby Niagara Falls and their famous winter weather. The overall color is white with a gradient to replicate the foam spray of the falls. The back of the shirt is a recolor of the current sabres collar which in turn is taken from the Buffalo flag. The blues used in the logo in the striping come from the water of Niagara Falls. The promotional logo takes the City of Buffalo seal and gives it a Sabres spin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 Calgary Flames The Calgary Flames get a Calgary Stampede inspired uniform. The font used and the secondary logo is taken from the logo for the Stampede. the pants, socks, helmet, and gloves take their colors from jeans, hat, and gloves you would see on riders at the stampede. The back of the collar reads stampede city. The promotional image is a recoloring of Calgary's flag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Carolina Hurricanes For the Hurricanes I decided to base it on the flag of Raleigh; which is unique because it is double sided with each side featuring a different crest. Both crests are placed on the shoulders while the jersey itself mimics the design of the flag. The collar reads "Esse quam videri" which means: To be rather than to seem; the city's motto. the logo becomes monochromatic to match the color scheme as well. The promotional image takes one of the crests from the flag and gives it a Hurricanes spin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 Chicago Blackhawks So I originally was going to do a Blackhawks uniform based on the City flag, but I feel that's been way overdone in concepts. My next thought was to do something similar to what I did for the Chicago Bears City uniform and do something tied to the Navy, but that made me realize that I should do something Army themed seeing where the teams name comes from. So the uniform takes cues from the Army's dress green uniforms. The collar reads Blackhawk division after the 86th infantry division. The striping on the right sleeve replicates service stripes which represent how many years a person has been in the military. The shoulders feature a take on the US and crossed rifle pins that adorn the jackets of the dress uniform, but now with crossed hockey sticks The promotional image is the Blackhawks division insignia with the feathers from the teams logo added. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Colorado Avalanche The Avs are inspire but the mountains of Colorado and the state flag. This one is pretty straightforward and I don't think needs a lot of explaining. The collar reads 5279 in reference to the elevation in Denver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 10, 2022 Author Share Posted April 10, 2022 Columbus Blue Jackets While looking for inspiration for the Blue Jackets I found out that Columbus has a well known German Town; so I created a German flag colored Blue Jackets uniform. The collar features the address to the town as well 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 Detroit Red Wings With Detroit being the Motor City I took inspiration for what is arguably the best American made car the Ford Mustang. The logo gets a chrome look like the mustang emblem and is backed by racing stripes. The sleeves replicate the indents on the doors of a mustang while the pants have striping that match the striping along the bottom of a mustang. The promotional image is a take on another of the mustang logos. The collar reads resurgent cineribus (part of the city's motto) which translates to "it shall rise from the ashes" I felt that was fitting for not only Detroit itself but the Red Wings team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 I completely forgot to add the Dallas Stars The stars is pretty simple. The uniform replicates the flag of Dallas as does the promotional image. The collar reads FIND YOUR ALL which is the cities motto 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
