In less than two weeks, the Ducks bring back what once made the "Mighty." In the meantime, we have Matt Marczel's modernized take on an Anaheim classic.

This Winter Classic Weekend post is a topical one. The Washington Capitals announced today they'll be hosting the 2015 NHL Winter Classic. But we want to know what jersey they'll wear. My bet is it'll be red but what if they tweaked the white one from 2011, like this concept from Matt Marczel?
The San Jose Sharks' new uniforms got pretty mixed reviews when it was unveiled. And plenty of readers had suggestions for how they could improve them. To that end, I have a couple of great ideas to share today. First, our hero of hand-drawn art Morgo Uxbridge proves shoulder yokes aren't a dealbreaker, but you really need something in the waist area.
And regular contributor Matt Marczel proves the same, but in a different way. Kind of a bummer looking at these and seeing what the Sharks missed out on.
I can't quite put my finger on the reason why, but this is really what the Philadelphia Flyers should be wearing. I don't have many quarrels with their existing look, but Matt Marczel brings bold striping and and a shade of orange that combine to create an amazing kit. Really well done.
Nobody likes the Ottawa Senators' uniforms. Let's just be honest about that. They use an ugly, generic template and have no regard whatsoever for the club's own history — recent, ancient or otherwise. So Matt Marczel puts forth this solution. I approve. Is there anyone who doesn't?
