Well, it was hard to work the Dallas Stars into an International Sunday post — so I got as close as I could with the stars and stripes of the United States. Matt McElroy has been working on a series of really great national team sweaters. This is just another example.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! ...From the good folks of Sweden. If I had a Mexican concept to share on this International Sunday, believe me I would. Instead, you'll have to settle for this superb Swedish sweater from the ever-busy Matt McElroy.
Matt McElroy was not thrilled with the Detroit Red Wings' 2014 Winter Classic uniform. That's putting it mildly. He was so disappointed he came up with not one but four different alternatives that could've worked just as well — or even better. And not one features "vintage white."
Interestingly, the design on the upper right (the opposite of the Wings' 2009 Winter Classic jersey) will be worn in the alumni game prior to the Winter Classic next year. So maybe one wish will come true.
I've decided to switch things up on Sundays — alternating between a couple of series. We'll stick to the beer league concepts every other week and do some neat international concepts in between. This week, the very prolific Matt McElroy presents a really sharp sweater for Team China. We saw his first attempt at this idea back in 2010.
Matt McElroy helps us celebrate a milestone today — 400 consecutive days with new concept art right here on Icethetics. His entry today into the Beer League Sunday series is the Buffalo Buffalo. You're welcome, western New York.
