Random NHL Edge Tweaks

[Lights Out]

BgMack's thread inspired me to do some NHL tweaks of my own. As much as I loathe the Edge templates, I decided to work within them to give myself a bit of a challenge. I'm only doing the color sweaters as the whites would just be color swaps anyway.

Phoenix Coyotes:

St. Louis Blues:

Toronto Maple Leafs:

(NOB and number font from NHLUniforms.com)

Oh god no! Do away with that horrible font on the Leafs! The thing I hated most about the Leafs' jerseys of the 2000s was the font. It's cartoony, and it doesn't belong with such a storied franchise.

Phoenix: Lose the piping, and move the coyote up a little bit:

Saint Louis: That's what I tried to accomplish back in March, except with red. You did it a lot better than I did. I love it.

Toronto: I think it's a majorly unpopular opinion around here, but I LOVE that font, and wish they still used it.

The Coyotes one just doesn't work. The object should be to move away from the Bettman Apron, not incorporate it.

The Blues one is only slightly more passable since you at least attempted to give it a local flavor, but it's still a variation on the Bettman Apron and it doesn't work either.

Both of them would be better if you just took the pattern and made it a hem stripe.

As for the Leafs, I agree with Xodius. That NOB font should be left in the past. The Leafs look infinitely better with a standard block font. They're an Original Six team. They don't need anything more than a simple block font.

Calgary Flames:

Too whatever you call those Vancouver V jerseys-y.

Once again, the Bettman Apron does not look good.

Minnesota Wild:

Bonus red alternate:

I like the jerseys, but rounding out the jagged numbers sucked the life right out of them. It could work for another team, but not the Wild.

[Morgan33]

Not too sound overly critical but the Wild are the only jerseys that I could call an improvement so far. The Blues one would make a great alternate but I would not want to use that used as their full time Home jersey. The leafs look fine I suppose but the Coyotes and Flames are needlessly ruined by the Bettman apron stripes.

The Flames one would look much better without the piping--actually all hockey & football unis would look better without piping, although piping does work on some baseball & basketball unis.

The striping on the Flames uni is better than what they have now, but not as good as their original design or the design they had before the Edge unis.
