WHL and Ducks Guest Concepts, and More Tigers

Seattle Thunderbirds, by Justin S:
Justin starts us off today with a green third jersey for the Thunderbirds.  This jersey is actually modernization of the Thunderbirds' 1985-87 home jersey.  I think the new striping pattern looks great, it's a great use of this Reebok template.  Execution is also good, all the league logos are in the right spot which sometimes is an issue with CHL concepts.  The only thing I would change, and this is very minor, would be to make the armpit area green instead of white.
Grade:  B

Vancouver Giants, by Justin S:
Justin also sent in this concept for the Giants, who are kind of my default favourite WHL team since they are the closest team to me.  I like the striping pattern which appears to be somewhat inspired by the Giants original jerseys, but with traditional stripes (yoke, sleeve and hem stripes) instead of the Flyers style yoke.  I'm not a fan of using the Canucks number font, I'd rather the Giants keep their identity completely separate.  Also the logo uses different shades of red and black than the jersey.
Grade:  B

Anaheim Ducks, by Ricky:
This next concept is Ricky's take on the Ducks new jerseys.  The striping is simplified, which I think is a great move.  I like the colour balance on the home jersey, but the road jersey still has too much orange compared to gold in my opinion and I don't like how those two colours touch.  The orange third jersey looks good, I have no complaints there.  On a side note, for me as a Canucks fan it's still weird seeing Kesler's name on the back of a Ducks jersey.
Grade:  B

Hamilton Tigers:
Once again I've made a Hamilton Tigers concept.  This concept here is a different take on the Tigers concept I posted on June 17th, basically I removed all the white and made a few other tweaks to give the concept a more retro look.

Have a good day!
