0669: ECHL All-Stars in 2015

This epic Minor League Week continues with some of the submissions to the ECHL's 2015 All-Star Game jersey design contest. The submission period ended last Friday and voting begins tomorrow. Maybe we'll see some of these included in the mix.

We start with a wealth of design ideas from John Elbertson. First is a design that's more in tune with the Orlando Solar Bears' branding. As the host of next season's event, there's little doubt the All-Star jersey will bear(!) their colors.

Then John also submitted a couple of more traditional-style designs in those eye-catching colors. The ECHL will only need one All-Star jersey because the All-Star team will face the Solar Bears in the game. But they've definitely got plenty of options from John alone.

David Kerr went a different route with this sunrise design. Or is a sunset? I could see the All-Stars rocking one of those.

Chad Jeske would have the team in white with a big star across the chest. Another solid design here.

Teal seems to be the most popular color among these designers. Brian Kolis added a twist to his jersey, though, with some sunny sleeve numbers. Lots of creativity in these designs!

BONUS CONCEPT

Why should the ECHL get to have all the All-Star fun? Scott Markiewicz design a couple of jerseys for a future AHL All-Star Classic. It might look like he was inspired by the NHL's Stadium Series jerseys, but no! In fact, Scott submitted this back in September before there was even any hint of those Stadium sweaters.

It helps that Matt McElroy foresaw Reebok's new jersey cut with his IceBorn template months before it was unveiled. Psychic! You can download IceBorn from the Icethetics Concept Templates page.

0620: All Teal, All the Time

John Elbertson has been sending along some neat ones lately. How about this monochromatic treatment for the Sharks? The Red Wings and Maple Leafs have done it forever — the Lightning more recently. Any other teams that should consider the single-color look?

0612: If Nike Did the Blackhawks

What if Nike took over producing NHL uniforms? Based on reactions to this year's Olympic jerseys, I think a lot of you would be displeased. But here's John Elbertson's take on a Nike version of the untouchable Blackhawks' uniforms.

0566: Pennsylvania Freak Out

I don't even want to explain why this 2015 Winter Classic concept by John Elbertson belongs on a Freak Out Friday. It's more fun if you look at it a minute and realize on your own.

0562: A Third Jersey for New Jersey

After a week's worth of Wild hubbub, you're probably a tired of green and red. So naturally I've decided to give you more of it. Seriously though, I think John Elbertson has put together a snappy Devils third jersey concept. New Jersey's higher-ups may not be interested in alternate uniforms, but let's not forget the Devils are going to need something for when they venture into the outdoors this winter.

Tomorrow, we look at ways of fixing the Sharks' boring new sweaters. (Hint: We're ignoring the players' "weight" complaints.)

John took a stab at some revisions based on a few of your comments. What do you think?
