Sharks Review & Wolf Pack Revisited


What's happening everyone?

Since the Stars and Hurricanes jersey unveiling's earlier in the off-season, not much has happened jersey wise in the hockey world. But in the last week or so we've seen the AHL's Providence Bruins update their jersey lineup without a white home jersey but with a yellow one, and the San Jose Sharks finally unveiling their updated threads. Today, I will share my thoughts on the Sharks' new jerseys.

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Earlier in the week, the Sharks shared teaser videos on Instagram over a couple of days with the hashtag "#NewWave" to promote the jersey unveilling's. What they showed on those seconds long videos were the elimination of some orange and the elimination of the colored shoulder yoke. And what they showed was basically all there is to the new jerseys...

Not much to talk about here... Just that the jerseys look empty with the elimination of the hem stripes, ONE orange stripes on the arms and no shoulder yoke. They did add collar laces which I like. If I had to pick my favorite of the two, I would probably choose the white jersey..


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now a while back I posted a Hartford Wolf Pack concept with striping based off their sock striping that was used before being rebranded in 2010. Today I have another idea of what they should wear.

I merged two different eras into one set. The jersey design itself is an edgeified version of their inaugural jerseys, which were the Rangers' liberty jerseys with Wolf Pack logos, and the name/number font they used from 2008-09 until they were rebranded.

Here are full body mockups of the uniforms.

I apologize if the post looks a little crazy as I threw it together as I was writing it..
 
Well, that's it for today!

Stadium Series Concepts Part 4 & Ontario Reign Contest Entry


What's happening my fellow jersey geeks!?

Today, I have the last of my "Stadium Series" concepts and my official entry to the Ontario Reign's American Red Cross jersey design contest. If you wish to enter but haven't sent in your entry, you have until tomorrow (August, 4th) to submit it!

Onto the concepts...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To start off is the host of this particular game, the Vancouver Canucks! Here I mashed different eras of the Canucks history into one jersey. The jersey design itself is based off of their original white jersey when they entered the NHL. The colors are the colors they wore from 1978-1997 with the modern "Stick in the rink" logo recolored to match the rest of the jersey.

Not much to say about the Senators' jersey. It's basically a white version of their third jersey without the shoulder patches...

And to finish off today's post is my entry into the Reigns Red Cross jersey contest. I'm gonna let you critique this one since it's the most "out there" design I've done in a while..

Hope you enjoyed today's post!
