No team is better suited to green jerseys than the Vancouver Canucks. And I'll keep preaching this until they finally do it. That's the goal. For today, though, Nick Burton gets the assist with this brilliant yet understated uniform concept.
Maybe this Nick Burton design is what the Florida Panthers would've looked like 80 years ago. But since they've only been around 20, I'm a little freaked out. What do you think?
Continuing our week of featuring prolific artists is Nick Burton. Last week he wrapped up his WNHL series. Today we get a glimpse at some NHL jerseys, including this very green Canucks set. Not for nothing, but I would buy that in a heartbeat.
He's got a sharp fauxback for the Kings as well. I could see a grey jersey working very well if it was executed this way.
Lastly, he's putting the Bolts back in black but with the new logos. I'm not sure it needs all the stripes, but I'm looking forward to an eventual black third jersey in Tampa.
The last team in Nick Burton's WNHL series — a fictional Women's National Hockey League — hails from the Canadian capital, Ottawa. Here's what Nick has to say about the design:
Ottawa Nationals — The nation's capital takes the name Nationals to show its pride. It drops the black from the Senators scheme to give the team a more classic look. The logo is a maple leaf, with a sublimated Peace Tower inside the leaf. The maple leaf used for the logo is the same from the old Nationals team of the WHA, just updated.
The six-part Women's National Hockey League from Nick Burton continues this week with the Quebec City Wolves. From Nick on the origin of the design:
Québec Wolves/Loups du Québec — The team takes the color scheme of the Quebec Nordiques. The unused logo of the Nordiques was to be a wolf, so the team takes the name Wolves. The logo is an edited Minnesota Timberwolves logo.
Just one more team to go now. Check back next Wednesday for the finale. As for tomorrow... something "devilish" is in store.
