Blue Jackets a Century Back

Dylan Wonka is working on a new series that imagines what certain NHL might have looked like if they'd existed back in the 1920s. We'll kick things off with his take on the Blue Jackets — of course I doubt anyone in the early 20th century was designing logos quite like that one.

Fixing the Ducks' Stadium Look

One week from today, the Ducks and Kings will take things outside for the first regular season NHL game to take place beneath the SoCal sun. And having just been down there a week ago, I can't imagine how they'll keep the ice icy. Magic, I presume.

Anyway, Dylan Wonka is back with a fix for the very orange jersey Anaheim will sport for their Stadium Series game. It adds — interestingly enough — a colored shoulder yoke and, hey, stripes! So one question: Better or worse than the real deal?

0689: Carolina Alternate

Sometimes you see a concept an have an instant reaction, good or bad. Normally I have to look at something a while before I can form an opinion. But this one from Dylan Wonka hit me immediately. I love this as a third jersey for the Hurricanes. It's one of the most unique striping patterns I've ever posted on these pages. What's your take?

0680: Last Looks for the Big House

This Outdoor Saturday is our last chance to look at some alternate concepts for the Winter Classic before the first puck is dropped. Dylan Wonka designed a pair of Red Wings and Maple Leafs jerseys just for the occasion.

Do you like either one better than the actual jerseys the teams will suit up in on Wednesday?

0677: A Very Wild Christmas

So often the Minnesota Wild are given a hard time for their "Christmas colors." And whether you agree or not, today one is the perfect opportunity to celebrate that. First up is Mat Ware whose created home and alternate jerseys to go with the team's new road sweater.

Next is a sweater by David Parkinson who put together just the right combination of red and green for that holiday feel.

On the other hand, Justin Nahhas went with a green jersey and still achieved a similar effect.

Finally, Dylan Wonka presents a pair of jerseys. The white one is pretty solid, but the Wild but the green one has some very merry striping if you ask me.


BONUS CONCEPT

Before you go, I've got a bonus concept that was tailor-made for today. Our favorite 8-bit artist Al McCready recreated the Stars' and Hurricanes' new uniforms in his unique style. Merry Christmas!
