Tuesday: Tuesday

Today is Tuesday. As you can see by the title of this post. It is Tuesday. Today that is. Everything happens on Tuesday. It's literally the best day. Try to name something that doesn't happen on a Tuesday. I bet you can't. I will trade the Sabres #2 Overall pick this year to anyone who can think of something that does not happen on a Tuesday. Good Luck.

NHL All Star Game Concept - Daniel L.

 Let's start off Tuesday with a nice Tuesdayish concept. Right away I can tell I like this jersey. Would it float with a normal team? Maybe, but I think it works perfect as an All-Star jersey. It's nice seeing a concept for this game without the jersey littered with stars. It's nice that you have them on the logo though. It's subtle enough. The jersey design is actually quite tame for an All-Star game but it still looks really cool. I would try to find a way to have the piping connect to something on the striping. Like when the orange piping on the front goes to the back maybe have it connect with the orange hem stripe. Something to give it more of a fluent design. All in all though I really don't have a complaint. I  think it's a sharp design. Especially the gray jersey.

Winnipeg Jets Concept - Daniel L.

 Daniel's second concept of the day is something I'm immediately a fan of. Why? Because the lighter blue is the dominant of the two. I think the lighter blue is gorgeous on a jersey, especially complimented by silver and dark blue. I like the striping presented too but why not on the hem as well? Then again you might not want to, it's nice character on the arms might not want to overdo it. My one complaint that I'm not sure how to fix is just the blankness. I feel like there should be a yoke color on both jerseys. With the pointed arm striping though it would be hard to come up with a nice yoke design. I think a square one would be fine but still might look awkward. A round one just wouldn't look pleasant. Not sure, maybe something to play around with.

Detroit Red Wings Concept - Jamie R.

 This is a pretty nice looking jersey. Detroit would be an even better looking team with this in their arsenal. The one and only real complaint I have with this is simply the script doesn't work. First because it's the Detroit Tigers script, but secondly because it's slanting compared to the stable horizontal look of everything else. It makes it a little hard to read with it going against the striping and being the same color of the thick stripe it's on. I always thought THIS script was cool. Would have to straighten it out and what not but it might fit better.

 Coquitlam Express Concept - Vaughn R.

Another team from the BCHL is done by Vaughn. I like the away jersey. It's simple, it's effective. I would move the number down a tad, and maybe even make the numbers just blck to fit everything else. Or gray to fit the logo. The home jersey is where I draw the line. I'd like to say you made a good call not copying the design of the away. However I think this jersey could have been done better. Maybe for the hem make the middle stripe yellow. And try to incorporate that striping to the sleeve. Maybe have the sleeve just black with the hem striping being the half stripe. Also, TV numbers should be white or yellow on the sleeves. Can't read them at all.

Coquitlam Express Alternate - Vaughn R.

This is a nice redesign of the away jersey for the alternate. Kind of goes off and adds red to the mix. I know the team has had the red before so this could be a throwback for all I know. I think it brings a nice Minnesota Wild feel to the set. Not because of the colors or design but to have a matching alternate as one of the jerseys. This does exactly what the yellow jersey should have done, matching numbers with the stripes. Still think it's missing gray in some way. Maybe as a cuff stripe. Just something to bring in the logo.
