We have the usual COTW vote this week, where we know WHO won, but we don't know WHICH concept of Noah B's concepts will win. Semiahoo PeeWee A1 or Växjö Lakers. You decide!

It is also the LAST week of the regular season for the...Season...Yes we have come to week 4 of The Season, and plenty of concepts are jockeying for position. A particularly strong playoff race is going on between the Vancouver Canucks and Orlando Solar Bears entries, both with 8 points a piece jockeying for first place. Get your votes in for that now!

If you are one of the mystery artists who makes The Season playoffs, you entries are due THIS upcoming Saturday at noon EST.

As per usual we have the Jersey Casual shirts, with new designs coming soon (when exactly, no idea, but if you have specific designs you want, request them to Steve...except the Turdburger, no one wants an HJC Turdburger right?). We also have the HJC boat stickers, that can go on other things that are not boats, like laptops.

If you haven't already please give the HJC podcast a listen! There are ways to win free boat stickers by listening. Also remember that this week was the ANARCHY PODCAST. Be sure to tell TC in the comments how much you want to hear him sing the Sweater Song by Weezer!

The Season Week 5 vote (ends Friday @ noon ET)

The Season Playoff Concepts (due Saturday March 10 @ noon ET)

On with today's 3 concepts

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

Arizona Diamondbacks NL/MLB Crossover Concepts (By: Chris W.)

+ THOSE PURPLE PANTS

+ A lot of people don't like the gradient on the baseball jerseys and socks with the rattlesnake pattern, but on a hockey jersey, with more room to flesh out the pattern, it looks great

+ Solid execution and layout 

+ The alternate is amazing

- Stripes on the socks seem a little thin for me

- I like the effort with the hockey puck in the snake's mouth but I'd prefer the A logo

Rating: 8.5/10

Bluestars Concepts (By: Noah K.)

+ Despite the striping being very similar to the Stars, I think it really works here

+ Script logo works for me since it is a marching band concept and the shoulder patches make up for it

+ Decent choice on the white helmet, I can dig that

- Primary logo should be a little bigger

- Sock stripes are a little too low

- Arm stripes are a little too far down on the arm and the tv numbers are too large

Rating: 6/10

Pacific Divison 2019 NHL ASG Concept (By: Ryan HJC.)

+ Oh wow, teal gradient, what a decision 

+ White pants here really work, along with the gloves since the jersey itself isn't very white

+ The adidas stripes are fitted INTO the jersey, not added to it last second

+ love the Rangers style numbers that really pop on the back

+ Good execution 

- No stars on the back hem or pants?

- Would like to see some teal on the pants, maybe the middle stripe?

Rating: 9.25/10 COTW NOM from ME!
