0494: Return of the Barons

As long as we're looking back at defunct NHL franchises, how about Nick Burton's take on the Cleveland Barons? I could see something like this in today's NHL.

0469: A Star-Studded Classic

So this was my attempt at including the Stars in a Winter Classic Weekend post indirectly. It's a Minnesota North Stars jersey here from Nick Burton. But maybe the Stars could wear something North Stars-inspired if they ever got to play in an outdoor game. It can happen. Right?

What about an opponent for the North Stars? There's no really good rival that comes to mind for this franchise, so I just opted for a Leafs/Arenas jersey here, also created by Mr. Burton.

0455: Stadium Series Preview

For the second time in a week we visit with the talented Nick Burton. And as it's Saturday, he has a couple of Winter Classic ideas to share. Up top, we have an orange option for the Islanders — who are expected to face the Rangers during the 2014 NHL Stadium Series. And down below, a white version of the Senators' current third jersey — for when they're hosted by the Canucks in the next Heritage Classic.

0452: Buffauxback

Ok, not sure if that title landed. I was doing a little word merging — Buffalo + fauxback (which is faux + throwback). It's all very confusing, I know. But Nick Burton has created a really sharp sweater the Buffalo Sabres might have worn had they existed in the 1920s.

0444: Swimming With Sharks

WHA Week continues with this one from Nick Burton. I'm not sure whether it's intended to be a San Jose Sharks jersey featuring the old Los Angeles Sharks logo — or an L.A. Sharks jerseys with San Jose colors. Either way, it's pretty cool.
