Winter Classic Jerseys

[TMB1]

Before we knew what jerseys being worn in the Winter Classic this year were, I decided to make some retro-looking jerseys for the Red Wings and Blackhawks as my first concepts.

The Blackhawks jersey was based off this jersey from the first part of the 1934-1935 season:

The striping on both jerseys is virtually the same, but the red stripes are much thinner. I also added another stripe at the bottom of my concept. I decided to use a different logo for the crest, and make it larger than the original. I also changed the number so it would hopefully stand out more.

For my Detroit concept, it was based very loosely on the Detroit Falcons from the early '30s.

I didn't want any of the yellow from the Cougars, so I just went with the traditional red and white. I also used an old logo from the Detroit Falcons. I'm not quite sure if I like where the arm numbers are on the sleeve, but I think it works.

Ugly as sin.

But then, I guess "classic" jerseys all used to look like that.

[Shane Does Art]

I like 'em.

I don't like them because I agree they are ugly, but they are classic...so it's not your fault. I do think they they are very sharp looking and you did an excellent job for your first concept.

i think if you tweaked the blackhawks one a little more, it would make a perfect full-time alternate.

I can't believe these are being called ugly, they're beautiful. Nicely done.

I think they are nice but I don't like the second stripe on the Blackhawks jersey
