Up next we have the Edmonton Oilers. The Home and Away uniforms are nothing too far from what has been seen before, but I wanted to take the chance to go in a radically different direction for the alternate uniform. They're the OILers, why have they never used black? The color scheme is admittedly inspired by the 2000's Capitals. It also features the new secondary logo I created as the primary crest. The Heritage uniform is just an alternate faux-back-inspired design but I think it would look really good in full uniform with the outdoor background That color scheme definitely fits the Oilers better than the Caps; wait does that mean you won't be using it for Washington because I HATE those colors for them. Overall great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 I haven't had a direction in mind for the Capitals. I was floating the idea of the Capitol colors, but more blue centric. Curious what everybody's thoughts on the alternate logo are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 Had some time to come up with a few ideas over the long weekend, so today I'm going to drop TWO new concepts. First up, the LA Kings. I've always been a huge purple guy. The colour scheme always gave the same vibe as their all-black/silver look while being more visually appealing. Professional sports could always use more purple as well. The crown logo returns, albeit slightly simplified, and the jerseys feature metallic silver fabric, so they would really pop under the arena lights, similar to their current third which these are based on. The third is something I went back and forth on colour-wise before ultimately settling on the Purple and Gold, but retaining the same metallic texture on the gold. It also features an alternate logo using a more regal lion that plays into the older colour scheme. The second concept will be the Minnesota Wild. This is one I think I struggled the most with. I didn't have a super concrete direction I wanted to go in for a while, other than "Don't look like a Christmas jersey" and wanting to stray away from just reverting to the North Stars colours. With a last-second change of heart, I ended up swapping all of the red on the jersey to a lighter green, and rolling with a more "forest" look, somewhat inspired by the Bucks. I made sure to leave just a little red on the collar and gloves, but for the most part, all of the red was saved for the alternate uniform. Somewhat inspired by the previous red uniform set, and utilizing the M from the script logo which in combination of the embossed star detailing in the arm stripes, is a small homage to the North Stars. The details inside of the collar also features a forest to maintain some "Wild" imagery 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point1 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 This series has been really great. I think the Kings away could use a lot more purple. The alternate logo is great, but I feel like it's so close to having the mane make an L A that you might as well go all the way with it. I like what you've done with the Wild but I've never been a fan of concepts that put wheat trim on the white sweater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you've made a mistake with the colours on the home and road - The stripes for the home use orange for the hoops on the front of the sleeves and hem, and a orange-ish red for the back and the hoop on the stockings, and the edge of the collar on both uniforms uses both the orange-red and orange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 You're right. That's the default red on the template. Looks pretty similar on my monitor, but very noticeable on my phone. I'll fix that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Minnesota is a little disappointing after some of your other fantastic concepts here. The double green could work if there was more red in play in the striping pattern. I’m also not a huge fan of the greened-out shoulder patches, those would be much better just being cream. I do love the collar inserts on all three jerseys tho! Quote "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

wildwing64 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Good stuff all around! The Kings away jersey needs more purple. Seems a bit odd to go all in with purple on the home and third and then have very little of it on the road. Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Thanks for the feedback. I think you're totally right about the Kings Away jersey. Looks much better with the purple and black switched As for the Wild, I just didn't like anything I did with adding red while also keeping the double green, but I did at least invert the shoulder patches 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasaltvanilla Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 What about leaning into the double green further and replacing all red with light green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's something I initially tried, including changing the logo so it didn't stick out like a sore thumb. I just don't think it looked as good imo. I will put together a quick mock tomorrow to show how it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchey13 Posted August 12, 2023 Author Share Posted August 12, 2023 Up next, we've got one of my newer concepts. The Nashville Predators. Nashville is one of the teams I think downgraded with the Adidas changeover. This was aiming to be an evolution of the previous look. The stripes are very inspired by the fang theme, and I removed the piping from the front up to the collar and placed those elements into the sleeve striping for a little extra flair. The inner collar keeps with the music theme, with the design of a fretboard. The alternate jersey keeps with the same design, but also throws back to their previous Navy alternate jersey set with very minimal yellow. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Looking sharp - and you pretty much fixed everything wrong with their current look. Even if the alt's striping design is the same it looks very good in that scheme too. Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Up next is the Canadiens. A team I don't think I've ever made a concept for, in the decade and a half I've been on these forums. I was initially apprehensive about making any changes, but I'm actually quite happy with how these ended up. The home uniforms remain mostly untouched, with the return of the all-white collar. Not much else to say. It's one of the most iconic sports jerseys of all time. The away jersey is where things start to diverge. I aimed to merge the current home and way set for this. I didn't want to just do a white colour swap of the home jersey, however. The red shoulders of the current jersey extend down into the chest stripe to become a bold two-tone uniform, following the same red-white-blue striping pattern on the hem. The alternate uniforms are a tribute to the Pre-NHL era Canadiens. The C script logo has been re-designed to make it look more fitting in a modern era, and sits directly in the middle of the jersey now. The diagonal sash stripes are also much thicker. I'd say this uniform was pretty inspired by Detroits stadium series and it's the only white alternate uniform in the series to date. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you asked so kindly This is a pretty straightforward concept. Added a small touch of the light blue piping to the stripes. I think my favorite detail is the reference to the Cannon/Goal song in the Hangar text on the alternate jersey 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
