Guest Concept Post #68

Sonic Boom NHL Jerseys, by Jared:
Jared starts us off today with some NHL theme night jerseys for the TV-show/video-game Sonic Boom (the teams from top left to bottom right are the Jets, Kings, Rangers, Ducks, Canucks, and Red Wings).  I had never heard of Sonic Boom before Jared sent this in, but after a bit of googling I figured out that the jerseys are meant to look like the characters from the show/game.  I think that works well for the Jets, Rangers, and Ducks, but not for the other teams because the colour schemes don't make sense for them.  The Kings look odd in purple and red, same with the Canucks in orange and blue, and it looks really weird having the Red Wings wearing pink and blue.  In my opinion it would be better if the jerseys kept the teams current colour schemes.

Calgary Flames, by Justin S:
The second and final concept today comes from Justin and it's a very unique black jersey concept for the Flames.  I love how far the yoke comes down on the jersey, that large area of red really gets your attention (in a good way).  Unfortunately I'm not a fan of some of the other unique things done on this concept.  The oval shapes behind the TV numbers look kind of awkward to me, and I don't like piping on the bottom of the sleeves (which I think is supposed to be over where the elbows are reinforced, but I don't think that element should be part of the striping pattern).  Lastly, I dislike the use of the side panels from the Ducks' current jerseys, not only because I don't like when teams copy striping patterns from each other, but also because I feel that it clashes with that awesome shoulder yoke.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
