 Ottawa Senators Concept (By: NB14)

 What I Like: The overall look is great. The side profile logo is awesome, the rounded numbers are welcome and the large shoulder patches are good!

What I don't Like: The height of the sock striping and the large names

Improvements: Shrink the name down to normal and lower the sock striping (8/10)

Chicago Blackhawks Concept (By: Jordan R.)

What I Like: the addition of yellow to the 40's type striping. The concept logo is also very cool, even though I really like their current logo and the way Jordan presents his concepts are really unique.

What I Don't Like: No back of the jersey

Improvements: Add a back of the jersey to the concept (8.5/10)

New York Rangers Concept (By: Tristen P.)

What I like: The transition between from Reebok to Swift is done well. The small changes to the logo are also good. The reversed nameplate is also cool. Overall the Home jersey looks really good.

What I don't like: The road jersey, its okay, but the yoke really doesn't work that well for me, too stripey. Also, how large the shoulder patches are  since this is swift and it would be so close to the numbers.

Improvements: Take away one set of stripes and smaller shoulder patches (7.5/10)

Erie Otters Concepts (By: Jets96)

Back to the OHL Re-design, and this was one of the harder ones. Their current jerseys are pretty bad, not the worst, but, man, they sure are tacky, especially the colours. Their 1000th game jersey was used here for inspiration and yeah, enjoy.

Sudbury Wolves Concepts (By: HJC (Ryan H.)

What I Like: This template, I know the Reebok Cookie-Cutter jerseys are not popular, but this one is great in my opinion when done right. The colours again are great and the blue jersey looks great.

What I don't like: Nothing really, the white jersey looks a little bland, but isn't bad by any means

Improvements: Maybe add a little bit more blue to the white jersey (9/10)

Kitchener Rangers Concepts (By: Jets96)

Another OHL concept, this one was a little easier but still difficult. The problem is, if you choose to use this look for the Rangers, as opposed to the NY rip off. But still, its really hard to balance the red, blue and white to make a full set, tell me in the comments if you think I did that.

Hartford Whalers Concepts (By: Alan H.)

What I Like: Alan does modern really well, he doesn't resort to classic for classic's sake and leaps bounds, and this is no exception. The colours work really well and because of the unique striping, it all flows well. I really like this striping pattern.

What I Don't Like: For some reason, I think this would look even better as a Flames jersey, but really nothing to complain

Improvements: Nothing really (9/10) COTW Nom. from me

Kingston Frontenacs Concepts (By: Jets96)

Last OHL concept for today, and this one is really straight forward. I like to use the 80`s Bruins look for any team like this. I don`t really like their new jerseys but I don`t hate them, I like something like this better though!
