North Melbourne Kangaroos concept (by Matt D.)

Vertical stripes have a hard time working on a hockey jersey. So, I like how Matt turned those three stripes into the arm and hem stripes. I think a small cool thing would have been to have cuff trim to match the ribbed arm slots on the football uni. 7/10

Canucks Not Whales (Kirk H.)

Kirk wanted me to let you all know about his little project which hopes that the Canucks move away from the orca logo. Check out his site here. I find it difficult to promote this when he hasn't updated the blog in two weeks. Kirk hopes his movement will be as popular as the Sabres Not Slugs crusade.

Baltimore Blades concepts (by NB14)

The Blades only lasted about half a season in the WHA. I find these concepts to be about as exciting as the Blades' time in the league. The numbers are too thin and small in my opinion. Combine that with a lack of shoulder patches and these look too bare. 5/10

South Carolina Stingrays concepts (by WinnipegJets96) *Description on concept. 7/10

Alaska Aces concepts (by Chris Z.)

These aren't as exciting as their current jerseys, but I could dig the home and away as fauxbacks. These look like what the Aces would wear if they were in the WHA. The state flag in the map isn't really working for me as a logo on the third. 6/10

Minnesota Wild concepts (by Ian)

The home and road concepts are really good ideas. The logo on the white jersey does look like it has quite a few loose pixels around it though. It might just be me, but I really don't like that third jersey in red. 7/10

Chicago Blackhawks concepts (by Deferoiler)

The home and road concepts are pretty decent, with the white jersey being my favourite. I would leave the coloured namebar to the Flyers though. Nothing about the alternate looks good to me though. The stripes aren't great, the wordmark is too weak and the number font just doesn't match up well. It also belongs to the Avs. 6/10

Chicago Bears concept (by Tyler G.)

This is two classic organizations having a beautiful "jersey baby", haha. Seriously, this looks cool. I think I'd prefer the Bears' numbers to be used, but it looks good either way. 8/10

Winnipeg Jets concept (by Jeremy T.)

For starters, the numbers on the back need another outline of the darker blue this time. They're really getting lost in the stripes right now. I'm not a fan of chest stripes anymore, but I'll move past that. I'd like to see the chevrons on the sleeves match the colour order of the other jersey stripes. 7/10

Boston Bruins concept (by Brady)

Brady has taken the 1925-26 sweater and has added the current secondary logo as the primary crest. He's also chosen to go with yellow numbers instead of brown. It's a nicely executed throwback jersey. I also like the new socks that Brady came up with for this one. 7/10

Ottawa Senators concepts (by Bobby P.)

The red jersey looks decent, but I think the shoulder patches need a white outline. The white jersey would look cool, but I'm not enjoying the red yokes. They make the jersey look like something you could pick up at Wal-Mart for $20. 7/10

Vancouver Canucks concept (by Tristan)

I found myself looking at this and assuming that I wouldn't like it. I then was trying to find things I didn't like. After a bit I realized that I do in fact like this concept! It has some unique elements with the numbers and it really gives off a "heritage" look. I would like to see those player numbers closer together though and perhaps a solid colour collar. 8/10

Brisbane Lions concept (by Matt D.)

The hockey jersey doesn't look much like the football uni. However, it does look good. I really enjoy jersey stripes like these. The player numbers on the back seem to be too close though as their outlines are melting into each other. 8/10
