This week has accidentally had a theme of classic-looking hockey sweaters. Today, Nick Burton brings a bit of tradition to the Florida Panthers. In fact, when they first took the ice 20 years ago, the Cats looked a lot like this. I'd call it a huge improvement over what they wear today.
I must admit this Flames jersey is an older concept from Nick Burton. He sent it in almost a year ago — so it doesn't really fit in with his current design aesthetic — and I'm only now getting to it. What does that tell you about the backlog? Anyway, I'm posting it because I think it's a neat look — for a black jersey.
Also, Happy Pi Day!
You know this is coming. The NHL and NBC love the Pennsylvania teams, so it's only a matter of time before they meet up in the Winter Classic. And when they do, Nick Burton has a neat pair of jersey designs for them to wear.
You don't see a lot of grey jerseys in the NHL. Or any, really. So Nick Burton's Winnipeg Jets jersey would be one of a kind. What do you think?
Nick Burton brings us a couple of Chicago Blackhawks concepts today based on the black-and-white color scheme the club wore during its first eight years of existence. They are pretty sharp and, if you ask me, pull off the colorless palette much better than the Kings do.
