Concept of the Dead: People of the north

Hello, I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today is the last day of my "Concept of the Dead" and what better way to end it with a concept that is not from the NHA it's from the NHL that relocated in 1995, today it's the Quebec Nordiques.

I know what you think this is the Quebec Bulldogs NHA concept, yes it is. But after a review from HJC on the Bulldogs concept, I decided to tweak this one as an improvement (somewhat) I put two fleurs-de-lis with trim on the arms, using the Dallas Stars current number fonts, and the Carolina Hurricanes current letters both with red trim. Lastly, the logo just as original as it gets.

Well, the "Concept of the Dead" is over, I hope you all enjoy this event as much as I did! I would like to thank Ricky for sending his concepts to make this event means more to me than ever! Until then everyone,  I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Concept of the Dead: No team for Quebec is BULL(dogs)

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today we one more contributor concept made by Ricky, let's get to it.

Quebec Bulldogs NHA concept [by Ricky]
Up points: Two color barber stripes on the main jersey works for me mainly using royal blue on both nameplate and numbers completes the jersey.
Down point: The clash is good but the gold yoke and collar doesn't fit well on jersey.
My Suggestion: Change the gold on the clash to either cream, or sky blue and it's a winner to me.

Well today's post is done, be here tomorrow for the finale of the "Concept of the Dead" until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: What Wanderers

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Once again we got our self another concept made by Ricky, this time the  Montreal Wanderers.

Montreal Wanderers Concept [by Ricky]
Up points: The logo is so 1800's and early 1900's but it fit this theme. The main jersey is two color barber stripes with just fit the team. Black number is a good move because it's barely readable on the logo, can you image having a hard time seeing those numbers in red or cream? Love the placing the red nameplate on a cream stripes very smart.
Down point: The clash is fine, but purple does not fit this team to me.
My Suggestion: Switch the purple color with black on the clash jersey.

Well another post is done, more are coming until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: Found it from the Junkyard

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today we take a break from some NHA concepts with a concept that came from the now defunct United Hockey League (UHL) witch later became the International Hockey League and after 2009-2010 season the league shut their doors. Today's concept of the dead is a team that played from the UHL from 2004 to 2006, the Motor City Mechanics.

This concept is pretty much the New York Islanders old Reebok edge set with some modern touch, I use both numbers, and letters are from the Nashville Preds old set. Black, maroon, and grey are the colors for this team.

HJC Feedback

Well this one is in the books for today as "Concept of the Dead" rolls on! Until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: The Chief

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today is the Toronto Tecumsehs made by Ricky.

Toronto Tecumsehs NHA concept [by Ricky]
The logo looks good, the main jersey is purple but for some odd reason it fit this team pretty well to me. The down point on this the main jersey looks plain compare to the clash, the logo, nameplate, and the numbers on the clash are purple it seem doesn't fit it with the cream, scarlet, and black. Overall not bad of a concept, I felt this is pretty much not a match together very well, but that's my opinion. 

Well that's today post, we got more coming so keep your eye on it til then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: (No) Sham(on the)rocks

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Once again we got a concept contributor from Ricky, this time it's the Montreal Shamrocks.

Montreal Shamrocks NHA concept [by Ricky]
Up points: Both the main, and the clash are made to fit the theme of the shamrocks. The main jersey is two color barber stripes is alright with me! The clash is tamed and look pretty dang good.
Down point: Read the suggestion part.
My suggestion: Add black trim around the logo on the main jersey. Add cream trim around the logo on the clash jersey.

Well today's post is done for now until, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: One dud Wonder

Hello, I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today as part of the "Concept of the Dead" this team came from the QMJHL. That's right people, not NHA, "QMJHL!" A team that was so bad the club lasted only 17 games! It's the Plattsburgh Pioneers.
On this concept, I took the Anaheim Ducks arm stripes from their now current home/road set and turn it to the Vancouver Canucks present home/road striping, and added stripes on the yokes for good measure. I darken the team's colours a little bit to give it a more modern feel to it. I use the Columbus Blue Jackets numbers and Carolina Hurricanes letters for the nameplate.

Well, that's it for today. More is on the way until then,  I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: Haileybury Comets by me

Hello, I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today is a Haileybury Comets by me.
Saw blade with the letter "H" on it. Both home and clash in their own design nothing more to explain about it.
Well that's this post see you all until then I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: A silver (or cream) lining

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today as "Concept of the Dead" rolls on, we got a Cobalt Silver Kings NHA Concept made by Ricky!

Cobalt Silver Kings NHA Concept [by Ricky]
Up points: Stripes on both the arms, and the hem are placed very well. The stripes near the yokes are rare thing to see in other people's concept work, whats even more rare is how it actually fit this concept pretty dang good. The arm stripes are space away from each other were you can easily [if you like] add TV numbers there.
Down point: I feel that the cream color does not fit this team that are called Cobalt "Silver" Kings.
My Suggestion: Switch the cream color with silver and we got our self a winner.

Well that's today post. More is coming until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: Montreal Canadiens NHA by Me

Hello, I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today is another edition of the "Concept of the Dead!" This time it's my Montreal Canadiens NHA concept.
The home jersey is base on my old Habs alternate concept, only recolor from red, blue and white, to red, green, and white. Once made for my first London Knights concept. The clash is recolored, and the stripes changed. The logo is a combination of the team's 1911-12, and 1912-1916 logos.


Well another "Concept of the Dead" post is in the books and we ain't done yet more coming and there will more post featuring my work will be posted, but will likely have no details written by me about them, just a warning because I'm more working on reviewing on contributors concepts. Until then I'm Alan, I'll get an elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept of the Dead: 1.0 Rising

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today we begin the "Concept of the Dead" and what better way to start this event off with a concept contributor. Let's not waste time and let get this going.

Ottawa Senators NHA concept [by Ricky M.]
Up points: This has "Classic" written all over. The main jersey is well striped as the old jerseys the Sens 1.0. The nameplate sits nicely on a single stripe, and that goes to the numbers as well.
Down points: The clash got a nice stripes going on a slant on the front of the jersey is O.K. but it lacks arm stripes, even with the stripes on the wrist this clash jersey looks unfinished.
My Suggestion: Add stripes on the arms give it the treatment as the stripe slants on the front of the jersey.

Well that's the first post of the "Concept of the Dead" month, more will be posted soon until then I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.
