NHL Revamp Series 32/32 - Detroit Red Wings

[Patchey13]

It's Duck Time.

 

The goal for this concept was to lean into the orange full-time. I don't hate the D logo, so I decided to give it a fair shot on a good jersey for once. The striping pattern is fairly modern and pays homage to the original Anaheim Ducks with the swooping stripes. The Mighty Duck logo returns with simplified, bolder outline. 

 

The alternate keeps it simple, while it's not a 1:1 copy of the original uniforms, swapping out the silver for orange is a nice way to tie together both identities

The colours and the side panels don't really work for the alternate, the purple, teal, orange and black don't work well together and actual hem striping instead of side panels would be much preferable.

I think there is a way to tie the two identities of the Ducks together, but swapping out silver for orange in their original colour scheme ain't it.

[Patchey13]

Give a suggestion then. 

 

The side panels are pulled from the current set. I wanted to keep the angular striping but didn't want the asymmetrical look of the original jerseys, but made less of an eyesore. All of the colours are found on the current logo, just with Orange replacing the yellow in the sticks, and is relegated to a small amount of trim in the set. The black is used to provide contrast to the orange. If you have any ideas I'd be all ears.

 

Here is a version with the orange reduced to a minimal level.

The orange and black trim still looks ugly on the trim, though it does look slightly better with the reduction of the orange. The orange would contrast well enough with the white and teal without the black, or you could just get rid of the saturated orange and the black and in their place, use the gold from the home and road instead on the trim. For the logos, use the gold instead of the orange.

I'd also use either the striping from the original jerseys, the striping for the home and road you used (that looks great) or the striping from the current alt instead of the side panels.

Flames up next.

 

They are a team with two equally amazing looks, so I wanted to challenge myself to go down the hardest path (well second hardest, the pedestal is irredeemable) and try to make something based on their early 2000s look work. 

 

Black plays the main role here. I think the new Blasty uniforms are amazing. The logo is just one I've never loved, so it was removed entirely from the design. Black plays a bigger role in the away uniforms as well. I've always thought that when the Flames used black, it looked best when they used a lot of it, and the away uniforms were always my least favorite because of it.

 

The alternate uses a darker red, as well as introduces burnt orange into the scheme. When I think of Alberta that's exactly the color that pops into my head, and it plays nicely while providing some contrast between the yellow and white. The unused cowboy-skate logo makes an appearance as a secondary mark in the new colours as well.

 

The Heritage uniform is another faux-back, but yellow plays a very minor role in the uniform here. I think this would be a great combo with the Oilers heritage vibe, with both uniforms looking like something from the 60s

 

 

[Patchey13]

Blues are up.

 

They currently wear modern classics. Decided to go in a completely different direction using Light Blue as the primary colour, and relegating Royal blue to the pants and helmet for a little bit of contrast.

 

The alternate uniform retains the same striping pattern but uses a more typical colour balance to their current set

I have a Seattle concept coming up tonight, and then there will be a short hiatus as I build my new pc this afternoon

[Patchey13]

Here's Seattle. They already have a pretty great set, so there isn't too much of a change here. The only difference is the tentacle pattern in the sleeve striping.

 

*There is a small mistake on the Home uniform, but due to the new PC switch, I don't have all of my fonts downloaded, so I'll eventually have to take an hour or so and track down everything I was using for any concepts I need to make adjustments on.

 

 

The alternate uniform leans into the stormy PNW ocean vibes and I love the way it turned out.

 

The Winter Classic utilizes the leaked logo and throws back to the Seattle Metropolitans, even down to the pants and glove colours

Eh. It’s no more incongruous than black/orange/metallic gold, and that’s what they have in real life.

Love the alt set and home, how did you get the leaked logo did you make it?

[Patchey13]

Yeah, it leaked on Icethetics so I just remade it. The font isn't exactly the same, but it seems close enough!

[Patchey13]

Time for Ottawa. The series will slow down as I have caught up to my backlog of completed concepts, but here is the most recent completed concept.

 

 

Ottawa is pretty straightforward. Use their OBJECTIVELY best logo, on a simple set. The stripe pattern is inspired by their SENS alternate uniform, which I think had some unique elements to it despite being a product of the Reebok edge era.

 

The alternate uniform is a mish-mash of the Barberpole alternate and the mid 2000s home uniform. I always thought the striping on the sleeves was really unique and looked great, however I could do without the big swoosh in the middle of the uniform.

 

[tigerslionspistonshabs]

That is literally exactly what the Sens should be wearing.

[Patchey13]

Back from the dead. Was on my ass with the flu the last week so I was pretty slow when working on this next concept. We have the Tampa Bay Lightning up now.

 

Nothing groundbreaking, but I think this would be their ideal set. I did go back and forth between some of the various logos they've used in the past, but I think after winning 2 cups in 3 straight finals appearances makes this the Lightnings de-facto identity now.

 

I did keep with their more traditional look, but went away from the whole Maple Leafs cosplay identity, as well as swapping out their current blue with a lighter electric blue which I think looks unreal against the black.

 

As for the alternate, if you can't already tell, I LOVE simple, bold designs like this. The '22 stadium series set gets a lot of flack, but I think it is the perfect alternate uniform for the Bolts.

 

[Patchey13]

Flyers + Stadium Series up next.

 

This was a tough one for me, as their recent change is probably exactly what I would have done a few months ago. Messed around with a few different designs until I settled on the Sens alternate template. After making some adjustments I think it ended up as a design that suits the Flyers and remains fresh, while still being recognizable as a Flyers jersey.

 

The alternate is basically an inverse of their current alt set, with the addition of a shoulder yoke.

 

 

 

 

Stadium Series

 

Since I initially forgot to make the Devils stadium series set earlier in the summer, I've been holding off until the Flyers were done.

 

I definitely wanted to do a color on color (black in this case) matchup since they always look so good. The Devils keep it fairly traditional, as they usually do, and the Flyers is a small homage to the old 3D logo third jersey

 

 

 

 

 

Up next will be the two remaining New York teams + their stadium series designs. Look for that in around a week or so!

[Point1]

A little late but that Sens third jersey rules. One of those things where you can't believe you've never seen someone try that design before.

Double posted

 

[Patchey13]

Big drop incoming. I am going to keep the descriptions short.

 

 

The Rangers have iconic uniforms, however, I'm not a big fan of scripts over logos. The Liberty logo is great. I ended up simplifying the outlines and for the jerseys themselves, they are meant to be a combination of the classic set with the liberty uniforms. The inside of the collar features the New York Skyline.

 

 

 

 

Islanders.

 

The Islanders logo is another classic, but its suuuper dated looking. The Fisherman has had a bit of resurgence as of late, but their recent implementation for the reverse retros missed the mark a bit. The logo has been recoloured in Royal and Orange. The alternate uniform brings back the teal and makes the striping a bit less janky and weird-looking.

 

 

 

 

Stadium Series

 

 

The Islanders bring their unused Brooklyn Bridge Anchor logo for this New York match-up. The uniform is inspired by the black and white uniforms from when they played out of Brooklyn, but using Navy and white, with Royal Blue striping and small bits of orange trim.

 

The Rangers throw back to the New York Americans, but in a more modern way. The beloved script logo makes a return here as well.

Chicago up now, and this was definitely a challenging one.

 

I adore their current set (despite hating the Hawks as a Canucks fan) and I don't necessarily think they need to change the primary logo, however, they do seem to be featuring the logo less and less whenever they can. I wanted to do something familiar that still feels unmistakably like the Blackhawks, while still going in a totally new direction.

I think these would all be exceptions jerseys with the main logo back on the front
