Aussie Rules Football

/

I don't spend much time here talking about my real job or personal life — because, who cares. But it's a bittersweet day so I'm making an exception. A great, longtime friend and colleague is leaving Seattle for a new job in Colorado. Today is our last day working together.

Try to imagine a Floridian (me) bonding with an Australian (him) over hockey while living in Seattle — a city without a pro team. It's a weird story to say the least. And in addition to hockey, he's a big fan of Australian rules football. So when Noah Balkovec sent in hockey uniform concepts for all 18 teams in the Australian Football League, I had to save it for today.

Anyway, the Lightning visit the Avalanche in Denver on Oct. 24. See you then, Toby!

Island of Many Colors

The New York Islanders have been a popular subject on the Concepts page of late. Lucas Daitchman joins the mix with a mix of new third jersey colors. Have a favorite?

Faux Retro Devils

/

John Elbertson brings his talents to the New Jersey Devils today with a design that feels like it could've come right out of the 1970s. His original logo includes all three letters of the team's abbreviation — NJD. That's a nice bit of work.

Dual Blue Jets

/

The Jets are slated to get their first alternate jersey this year so they're in need of a standout design. Somehow Adam Ginn managed to nail it on his Concepts page debut.
