Monday: Back For More Jets96

Welcome to the Monday post, unsurprisingly written by Jets96!

I already covered the jersey news yesterday, and since nothing new has emerged, let's jump right into the Reimagined 1996 World Cup of Hockey entry (ies)!

On to the concept!

-----------------------------------------------------

Pensacola Ice Flyers Concepts (By: Taylor R.) 

+ I really like how the logo looks on the chest stripe, you'd think it wouldn't work but it does 

+ I love the custom font 

+ It's Taylor, the execution speaks for itself

+ You can tell the striping is very similar to the Blackhawks but it looks good 

- I'm not a huge fan of the little yoke stripe, it isn't bad but it isn't adding anything to the jersey

- I would like if the home and road striping matched, bur I get why Taylor used more blue on the white jersey 

Rating: 9/10

Pensacola Ice Flyers Concept (By: Taylor R.)

+ Does what an alternate should do, and I really like how it isn't a forced grey jersey (cough cough...NBA)

+ The blue and gray look awesome together

+ Everything good about the regular set is transferred well on to this jersey 

+ Again execution 

+ The yoke stripe works with the yoke 

- Nothing

Rating: 10/10 COTW Nom from me

New York Islanders Concept (By: Dylan T.)

+ The new roundel logo Dylan has made, while a slight modification to the original, looks great

+ Good colour balancing, the colours are not bleeding into the black, but at the same time don't hurt my eyes looking at them

+ Good execution 

+ Better than the actual jerseys, which I think is due to the addition of blue and orange 

- Shoulder patches?  Helmet logo? 

- Numbers are too thin/small on the jersey template and the TV numbers are too small on the full body template

- Again, mind the lose pixels on the full body template

- There's lots of empty space on the concepts, I don't care much about the background, you should show off your work more than navy background/triangles 

Rating: 7.75/10

Calgary Cowboys Concepts (By: Brooks F.)

+ Some people are against the red/white colour scheme for the cowboys, but I quite like it

+ Good job updating (barely but enough) the logo to make it still look like it's from 1975 but not from a cheap banner

+ I like the striping pattern, reminds me of an upside-down Minnesota alternate

+ Good execution

- The red is still slightly too bright, it wouldn't be the worst shade of bright 70s red, but still too bright 

- Pants should patch the arm striping

Rating: 8.75/10

Quebec Nordiques Concepts (By: Jan S.) 

+ While I'd prefer the Nordiques come back with the original logo, something using the Fleur de lis would be good too

+ Double blue is a solid colour scheme for a team in eastern Québec 

+ Execution is getting better, Jan!

- Stripes on the socks are too high

- Remember to stop the stitching at the hem and to add the numbers on the from of the helmet

- The script on the whit jersey is too thin/faded to really work as a primary and from a distance would look really blurry

Rating: 6/10
