WHA Revival, Part 2

Nick Burton is reviving the WHA in a special series of concept posts. Part 2 kicks off with a classy new look for the Cincinnati Stingers. 

Those may be Miami Dolphins colors, but the San Diego Mariners' collegiate style really stands out.

And finally, here's what Nick thinks the Toronto Toros might look like if they'd survived to today.

Check back next Thursday for Part 3 of this four-part series.

WHA Revival, Part 1

The talented Nick Burton is always good for a special concept series. While not strictly a minor league, he's tackling a WHA Revival as Minor League Week winds down. This four-part series will play out over the coming Thursdays and we begin with the Houston Aeros.

Nick's take on the Vancouver Blazers feels like a mashup between the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Millionaires, but it's a pretty solid set.

We wrap up Part 1 with one of the teams that made the transition to the NHL when the WHA shut down in 1979. If the team were still around today, perhaps they'd look something like this.

Next week we'll see Nick's take on another trio of WHA franchises.

Quite a Mighty Freak Out

Well. Where to begin? In a nutshell, it looks like Nick Burton has given the Anaheim Ducks a "Mighty" makeover — not the 1993 NHL variety, but rather the 1992 film variety. So what do you think?

Some people send an awful lot of great concept art my way. This week, I'm dropping my one-per-day rule to showcase them. Nick Burton's five includes a few neat third jersey ideas.

Original Six Showdown, Part 3

I don't usually like to feature the same artist on back-to-back days, but we need to wrap up Nick Burton's Throwback Thursday miniseries this morning. The final installment features 2014's Winter Classic opponents from Toronto and Detroit.
