JCRGraphix Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I haven't made any concepts in ages, so I decided to create some ideas of how the NFL would look as a minor hockey league for the NHL. Each club has a home and road uniform, a uniform that pays homage to their major league club, and a retro design. I started with the Arizona Cardinals who are the minor league club for the Coyotes. They have a classic logo that translates well to hockey. For the NHL jersey, I used the Coyotes home uniform with all white replaced by sand. The retro is inspired by these Cardinals uniforms from 1930. Up next are the Atlanta Falcons who are the minor league club for the Winnipeg Jets. I tried to match all clubs with clubs in their respective cities, but with no NFL teams in Canada, you get what you get. The cool thing is that this is somewhat realistic in that Bettman hates Canada and loves to make things difficult as possible for the Canadian clubs. The design is inspired by their clean bold new look. The NHL uniform is based on the Jets' road uniform but with Aviator blue as the main color. The retro is based on the Falcons' 1980 uniforms seen here. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 Up next we have the Baltimore Ravens who will be partnered with the New Jersey Devils. Their design is simple and classic utilizing their unique color scheme. The NHL jersey is a recoloring of the Devils' original dark uniforms while the retro is based on the Ravens' original uniforms from 1996 seen here. Next are the Buffalo Bills who are naturally paired with the Sabres. Their design is based simply on the striping from the Bills' real life football uniforms while the NHL jersey is based on the Sabres' original blue uniforms with the colors flip flopped. The retro uniform is based on the 1969 Bills seen here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Thanks for all the great feedback... Up next are the Carolina Panthers who are partnered with the Carolina Hurricanes. The NHL design is a black version of the Canes' previous white uniform while the retro is based on the Panthers' inaugural uniforms seen here. Next are the Chicago Bears who are naturally paired with the Blackhawks. Their NHL uniform is a color swap of the Blackhawks' classic red uniforms which ends up a little different than their old black alternates. The retro is based on this classic look from 1936. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norskie Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Carolina home and retro are great. The 'Canes base with Panthers colors is pretty clean. And the shoulder yoke stripes on the retro work surprisingly well. And oh my, that Chicago retro is *chefs kiss* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 i love this idea and cannot wait to see the rest. it was a missed opportunity not making a thrashers inspired uniform for the falcons especially if they are paired with winnipeg. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
