Will Canada capture its third straight gold medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics? Would they look good wearing a set of jerseys like these created by Nick Burton? Anything is possible.
By the way, I'm thinking about wrapping up the International Sunday series for a while. Any suggestions for a new Sunday series?
Welcome to the brand new Icethetics! It's the start of a new era I couldn't be more excited about. But as you can see, the Concepts page hasn't changed all that much. The presentation has been refreshed, but you'll still find new artwork daily!
Today, we get a look at Nick Burton's improvements to the Penguins and Blackhawks Stadium Series jerseys. In truth, Nick designed these way back in April, but I think they'd make for excellent outdoor sweaters.
With the Winter Classic behind us, the NHL Stadium Series is just around the corner. Check out these Rangers and Devils jerseys from Nick Burton. Would they make for a better looking outdoor game than the real jerseys?
Minor League Week wraps up up with a super-sized Freak Out Friday. First, Justin Nahhas offers his redesigned Chicago Wolves jerseys. The home and road options aren't too crazy — though they do follow the template used by the Penguins in their last Winter Classic appearance.
The alternate jersey is what should freak us out. To be fair, Justin submitted this concept almost two years ago when the Wolves were still affiliate with Vancouver, but could you imagine a Canucks logo on the jersey of a Chicago-area team? Of course, the subtle "C" in that stick-in-the-rink logo could stand for Chicago, right?
Another oldie I'm just getting around to posting is this one from Josh Olson. Last spring, in between learning the Houston Aeros were moving to Iowa and what the team's new name would be, Josh sent in this idea for a rebranding. He admits making up "CornHawks," but there's no reason it couldn't work as a team name. Do you prefer Des Moines CornHawks or Iowa Wild? (Both are a bit of a mouthful.)
The ever-creative Bastian Schmülling completes a run of being featured on this page for three straight days. Here, he's redesigned the look of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers — swapping Islanders blue for nice shade of black. What do you think of the striping style? I think it's a little out there.
And finally, Nick Burton brings a redesigned orange jersey for the ECHL's San Francisco Bulls. What freaks me out is the sunburned bull on the crest. Yikes! Nice jersey, otherwise.
Check back here tomorrow for a concept that previews Chicago's Stadium Series sweater!
So you're not a fan of the black and white Brooklyn jerseys? How about seeing the Islanders go back to an orange third when they move? Nick Burton has that covered today.
