CRDesigns Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Hello everyone! I am happy to announce my new series, NHL Origins! Think of it as Reverse Retro turned up to a new level. I will be combining elements from multiple stages of each team's history - reaching into not only their franchise's past but also hockey in their city, while keeping some sort of modern twist to it. I suppose its sorta like the NBA city edition from last year. Starting off, we have Anaheim! - Striping is a mixed version of the 90s jerseys and the wordmark jerseys. - Modern colours - Classic yet sleek font - Current logo on shoulders to further emphasize the Ducks Gold as a highlight colour Still figuring out how ill be formatting these posts, so I apologize if that changes. Winnipeg will be next, Feedback is very appreciated! 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRDesigns Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 Remember how I said Winnipeg is next? I lied because I made arizona next instead thinking i was doing alphabetical again lol Anyways. Heres the jerseys! - Sand-Heavy design inspired by Desert Night jersey - Purplish-red highlight colour - Sienna primary colour inspired by RevRet2.0 - 2010s era font - Striping inspired by Kachina Hope yall enjoy this one, feedback very appreciated! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Good stuff so far! For the Coyotes I'd suggest swapping the colours of the shoulder patch so its closer to the existing version (sand moon and purple-red sky) - or is there any particular reason it's coloured this way?

Thank you! I coloured it this way because i wanted to keep the sand outline consistent with the front crest. I forgot to save Boston, so today we have Buffalo! Not a whole lot of crazy stuff going on with this one. I am a firm believer that the Buffaslug is a fine logo, the jerseys just brought it down. I combined the Buffaslug era jerseys with the Heritage Classic for this look. Hopefully Boston will be up tomorrow, lol.

You're right the Buffalug does look better on a more traditional jersey Goo job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming with Boston! This one is definitely less of a leap as some others in this series will be. I combined their alternate jersey from the past couple years with their original brown and gold colours. Added the centennial jersey font as well. Feedback appreciated, as always! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRDesigns Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Moving on, we have Calgary! Calgary is one of my least favourite teams to design for because pretty much every jersey theyve ever worn is already gorgeous lol... The whole theme for this was simple: Combine all of the jerseys that had the Blasty logo on it. Obviously there are some tweaks for design sake (such as the stripes). Feedback appreciated, and happy thanksgiving to those celebrating! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRDesigns Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 Sorry for the delay on this update, but im back with Carolina! This one is pretty simple, its a mix between Canes and Whalers jerseys. I actually used a brand new lettering font for the name bar as well. Feedback is appreciated as always! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I like the nod to their Whalers history. The font feels very Star Trek, but works. That's a cool secondary logo as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for falling behind here, ive got Chicago, Colorado, Columbus, and Dallas for you all today! - Striping inspired by their inaugural jerseys - Sleeve patches inspired by their 2016 stadium series jersey - Stadium Series velcro sleeves, adjusted to have the mountain peaks similar to the hem striping - Hem striping from their traditional jerseys - Colorado "C" on the shoulders - Basically a mix of their home and alt jerseys - Colours from the 'Skyline' jersey - Striping from the inaugural jersey set, flipped the arm yoke to an underarm style for something new Sorry again for not posting here for so long. Hope you enjoy this group of jerseys. Ill be updating this thread tonight or tomorrow with Detroit! As usual, feedback is very welcome and appreciated! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I think I prefer this over the existing Stars Skyline jersey. The final North Stars / inaugural Dallas Stars black jersey was always a good fit for that theme, and it probably works better here. Normally I'm not keen on sleeve stripes being cut off halfway, but flipping the arm yokes is an interesting take on that original design.

Today I have Detroit and Edmonton! For Detroit, I gave their traditional home jerseys some extra stripes similar to the cross-chest-stripe jersey. Also used vintage white just for fun. For Edmonton, I took the striping layout from the Orange Crush jerseys, royal blue from their current set, and the copper colour from the early 00s. The logo also comes from the infamous gear alternate jersey. Thanks for looking through, feedback is appreciated as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomba Tomba Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Be cool if you made these real sets, not just single alts Quote If you read on the card you'll be cheating on your heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the week delay, had trouble with ideas for Florida but I have come up with something that I actually quite like! This one was inspired largely by their 'jetblue' jerseys, using similar striping (with some creative adjustments). the colours are from their inaugural years. Hope you all enjoy!

ujju2 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 For the Oilers, that colour scheme just seems a bit too Winnipeg Blue Bombers-y. I also worry about the contrast between the copper logo on the royal blue jersey, might not pop enough. Otherwise I'm loving this series!

I suppose I have less of an issue with it because im from WPG but I also hate the bombers right now due to their choking habits. Happy youre enjoying the series! Today, we have the team that got cooked by Winnipeg in the PLD trade... Los Angeles! This one is very straightforward, combining their iconic (and superior) vintage colour scheme with their modern home/away jerseys. I also used their updated crown logo, though I think using the old crown may have been a better option here.

CRDesigns Posted December 21, 2023 Author Share Posted December 21, 2023 Good morning! Today I have Minnesota for you all! It definitely gives more Reverse Retro vibes than the idea of the series is supposed to, but I am happy with how it turned out. A reversed version of the very interesting red jerseys the Wild wore for quite a while, with some revised striping based on their current away jerseys. I also ditched the roundel. Feedback appreciated as always! If i dont update this in time, merry christmas to those who celebrate it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 That's a good look for the Wild. For some reason the tweaks to the crest make this feel more "Christmassy" than anything they've actually worn - not that it's a bad thing (and it's not even an issue I have with their brand) I was about to point out the upside down shoulder patch before realising that was probably intentional. Makes you wonder why they haven't done that yet. Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder why they haven't done that yet. Thank you! I struggle a lot with making the Wild not look Christmassy. Lol. Today I have Montreal! For this one, I combined elements from some of the Habs jerseys from their 100th celebration, mainly the Barberpole jersey and the sash / maple leaf jerseys. I will have Nashville up tomorrow!
