Just a Few Changes

There are no shortage of great fixes for the Ottawa Senators' lackluster uniforms. Some designers go all out and change up the whole kit, but Dylan Nowak has only made a few adjustments to yield a solid design that's miles away from where it began.

Purple Pair

Tomorrow the Los Angeles Kings will unveil their 2015 Stadium Series jersey. It's expected to be grey and white. And their new Legends Night throwback jersey will be yellow.

So as we lament the sudden lack of purple jerseys in the NHL, Dylan Nowak presents a pair of his own for the Kings. Which do you like better?

What Tampa Bay Should Have Done

It's a shame Dylan Nowak doesn't work for the Tampa Bay Lightning. They really could've used his advice when coming up with their new third jersey — which debuts tonight, by the way. It'll be black and boring. But it could've been black and amazing. Well done, Dylan.

By the way, today marks the 999th consecutive day of new concept art on Icethetics. Tomorrow brings the 1,000th post!

Six-Pack: Dylan Nowak

Theme week! All this week I'll be showcasing prolific artists as part of the Six-Pack Series. Each day we'll feature a half-dozen concepts from a single designer. And the best part is that all 30 NHL teams will be represented by the end of the week.

We'll kick things off with the artist formerly known as Dylan Wonka — who has decided to start going by his real name, Dylan Nowak, here on the Concepts page. His styles and templates — and even his sense of humor — vary from one design to the next. Enjoy!

Alternate Orange Ideas for Philly

Concepts like this one by Dallas Kirkpatrick have been prevalent for a while. A lot of people seem to be interested in a Flyers jersey that pays tribute to the old Philadelphia Quakers. So what are they waiting for? It's not a bad look.

I couldn't decide between these two Flyers concepts, the second here by Dylan Wonka, so I decided to post them both today. Though it occurs to me this second one might have too much of a Pittsburgh feel, given the new third jersey they just unveiled on Friday.

If you had to choose between the two, which would you pick?
