This concept by Avi Stein is a fairly simple mix between Hurricanes and the current NHL All-Star uniforms. This jersey actually kind of works for them. Maybe a replacement third?

In today's concept, Avi Stein imagines a rebranding for the Columbus Blue Jackets as the Columbus Generals — you know, after a few military promotions. For a crest, he's opting for the unused logo seen in a video on the Blue Jackets' official website last year. For the shoulders, he's borrowing a logo originally designed by Tim E. O'Brien.
Back in February, the Sarnia Sting launched a contest to allow fans to design their next third jersey. Avi Stein submitted this concept. He didn't win, but it was certainly superior to some of the finalists the team put up for a vote. (In May, the winning design was revealed.)
If you came by earlier today, you saw a different concept in this space. Unfortunately, I've had to remove it at the request of the designer. Very disappointing.
In its place now sits this Blue Jackets concept from the very prolific Avi Stein. Last month, in a video posted on the team's website, we caught a glimpse of an unused logo that was produced as part of Columbus' third jersey development in 2010. Avi decided to put it on a jersey. It looks great! I almost like it better than their home jersey.
We're revisiting the 2013 NHL All-Star Game today with not only Avi Stein's concept logo, but a pair of uniforms as well. Avi's borrowed these crests from the AHL's 2012 all-star uniforms. There's too much great artwork in this set to squeeze it all into one image, so here's the rest.
You'll note Avi's choice to have the blue team captained by Vinny Prospal. This concept was made well prior to yesterday's trade deadline, so he was probably just hedging his bets. But come All-Star time next January, will Rick Nash still be a Blue Jacket?
