Thought it might be fun to wrap up Stadium Series Week with a good Freak Out. Bryan Dyck designed an L.A. Dodgers jersey for the Kings and an Anaheim Angels jersey for the Ducks. Count these among the things we're certain not to see at the game in January. (Then again, the Kings did wear this once.)
After we learned the Capitals will host the 2015 NHL Winter Classic, Bryan Dyck started thinking about who their opponent should be. How about the Carolina Hurricanes... as the Hartford Whalers? But as much as I loved Washington's Blue and Bronze Age, I'm not sure I can see them in anything other than the classic red throwback. Plus, it would make sense up against Whaler green. What's your take on this Winter Classic proposal?
Our Seattle Sunday series seems to be going quite well. So I'll keep it going as long as I have content to fill it. As we all wait for what is surely to be the next city to join the NHL, Bryan Dyck has a different take from the last two weeks. It's a sharp and colorful set that — despite a similar color scheme — is still miles away from Seattle's neighbor to the north in Vancouver. I might vote for a little more distinctive crest, but the colors are spot on. (And we still need a new name.)
We end the week where it began: Buffalo. This concept by Bryan Dyck sort of walks the line in terms of Freak Out Fridays, though. It's not a bad design and strictly speaking it's not even that far into outer space. But the number on the chest and the oversimplified crest are not quite my cup of tea. Interesting idea, but I don't think it should be NHL-bound.
Our Winter Classic Weekends have been bleeding a little into Stadium Series territory. This week, we have Bryan Dyck's suggestion for the Rangers-Islanders game on Jan. 29, 2014 at Yankee Stadium.
