Jack Holmes Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Hi! I've started making some NHL concepts and usually that results in me attempting a total league-wide redesign. I've done this a few times in the past, but not since 2019. In fact I haven't really made any concepts in the last 5 years so I might be a little rusty and still indebted to an old paint.net template. So excuse any roughness. There is no real theme or goal of this series - some designs may be bolder, some may stick close to conventional designs. The only idea is to give all 32 teams slightly new uniforms and adhere to some sort of design plausibility, this isn't necessarily what I think most teams should change to tomorrow or anything. I appreciate any feedback and criticism. I'll apologise now if your team looks ugly to you in my series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Holmes Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 First up Calgary Flames I've always liked the burgundy colour for Calgary, even if it's less striking on the ice than the flame red, to me it just screams "sweater" in like a western/Alberta kind of region. Just going for a warm look. And Blasty has been my favourite hockey logo since I was a kid so like any opportunity to lead with him I'll take. Beyond that I think it's a very basic 2000s era Flames design. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only critique would be the home jersey has too much white at the bottom, maybe try swapping white with one of the other tertiary colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Holmes Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 Sorry, been a little busy. St. Louis Blues Inspired by a sweater I saw in the prototypes thread, but also by an old design I've had for the Blues. I like trying to incorporate the thin lines from the Blues note logo into their striping pattern. Dallas Stars So the idea here is pretty basic: return to the 2000s star pattern while streamlining the colours and elements, in this case eliminating black and gold. Using the 2020 Winter Classic logo to give it a retro feel and because I don't ever feel like the proper Stars logos every actually fit on the star pattern. Feel like they need a very horizontal logo for it to work 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salamiolivesonions Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 so far so good! loving this. CALGARY - i've always thought they should have more white in there, it really will make the red pop. ST. LOUIS - love this! would be curious to see the yellow lines diagonal like the 90s jersey / reverse retro, but still within the blue stripes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't many teams with white as the largest secondary colour on a home jersey (maybe only Florida and Philly atm). However, I am quite partial to white working on the burgundy, here's Calgary with yellow swapped with the white. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Holmes Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 And here's a new concept Carolina Hurricanes Taking a lot of inspiration from their road whites, with the diagonal Canes script. Rotating black as the primary home colour mostly because there are already a ton of red teams and I have a different red jersey in mind for Carolina that doesn't match the road whites. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want them to go with a wordmark, but I'd rather them have matching jerseys like this than the hodge podge of jerseys they have now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chcarlson23 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I like the first version of the Calgary set. The white meshes with the set as a whole better than the yellow sleeves and hem. I also really like the Canes look, but I would maybe go with the red breezers for both home and road, and then give the road a bit more of that storm grey color. Kinda similar to the Panthers, where navy is a minimum, except on the breezers, gloves, and helmets.

Kinda similar to the Panthers, where navy is a minimum, except on the breezers, gloves, and helmets. Thanks, I'll tinker with Carolina a little more. It's hard to get a good colour balance with the storm grey and black on the white jerseys, they kind of blend. But I'll tinker. I tried like several combinations for Carolina :D. Anyway, here's two more. Winnipeg Jets Pretty simple 90s Jets revamp. I just really like the navy and dark red for Winnipeg. I'm not a fan of the blue on blue the Nu Jets have, or the military look the team has now (although I did keep that logo as a shoulder patch). Minnesota Wild I've actually never been a huge fan of the green and gold for the Wild - I feel like those were distinctly North Stars colours, and go with Dallas. But I've had a change of heart. I wanted to go back to an early 2000s look for Minny in red but it always looked garish and I thought there are enough red teams as it is (even in my series), and I removed yellow/gold from my Dallas concept, so I toyed with a concept for Minnesota based on their current alt/reverse retro, and I ended up liking it. I hope others do to. (as as aside I've been making hockey concepts for like a decade and I don't think I have ever made a green and gold Wild concept, even for me, I have more Wild concepts with green and brown). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Holmes Posted yesterday at 02:08 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 02:08 AM Since it's a special day. Edmonton Oilers I liked the orange McDavid era, as much as I think what they're wearing right now is unbeatable, I just like orange. And I liked the reverse retro too. Brought back a slight red trim from the Smyth era as well. Florida Panthers Trying to merge the eras, and maintaining some form of central feature, in this case a nod to the state flag as opposed to a large chest stripe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always helped them stand out from the Islanders. Panthers is a decent concept but I might drop the flag element from behind the logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
