Blenheim Blades concept 2019

Hi you all, Alan here for a non-Saturday post here at AJH HJA. Before we get to the concept, I have announced that from October 1st to October 31st, I will be posting concepts, 31 days, one team. From the GOJHL (OHA Jr B. league) is my hometown team the Chatham Maroons! The title will be called "Maroontober." I wanted to do this for a long time, and I think this is an excellent time to do it, so that's my announcement now back to your regular schedule post.

 Over 5 years ago, I made a concept for an OHA Jr. C hockey team Known as the Blenheim Blades. 5 years ago they were in OHA Great Lakes Jr. C league and they wore the Calgary Flames pre-edge jerseys with the "BLADES" wordmark logo with a sword underneath it. 5 years later the league is now known as PJHL (Provincial Junior Hockey League) Stobbs Division while the jerseys still the same. If you read my PJHL outdoor game jerseys review the Blades wore the Vancouver Canucks old 96 alternate jerseys that became my inspiration to make a Canucks inspired design in hopes that they can gut out of being red as the team's primary colour and hopefully see them back in black.
I decide to stick with the wordmark logo minus the sword, change the font, add trims and place it in diagonally across the front like the NY Rangers do. I made a shoulder patch logo (which is also on the helmet too) it just the word "Blades" sandwiched with two swords. Black is the primary colour follow by red and gold to finish the set.

And so this one is done! See you all tomorrow for the Maroontober month just to let you all know there won't be any of me explaining about the concepts because it's just the Maroons wearing NHL design jerseys just recoloured and there are some changes on the fonts for both nameplate and numbers nothing more. Until then, later.

Buffalo Sabres Alternate Concept (plus a jersey review!)

Welcome back everyone Alan here for another post at AJH HJA. One news that gave a spark to the jersey nerds nerve both good and bad.

Metallic gold and navy blue combo on a white jersey is an excellent look for a team I give them credit these are beautiful alternate jersey they got for the first time since they whipped these beauties back in 2010. The down points I got with is the numbers they need to add a navy blue trim around it so you can see the gold trim on it. As pretty much as always to me and others, the collar won't it hurt them to as least put more colours on them than just that thin navy blue trim on the collar. My Jersey Collection Rate: Buy it in Fanatics brand at regular price. 

So that out of the way, I will show you my Sabres 3rd jersey concept that I think would look good.
Simple stripes on the arms, hem, socks and the pants along with royal blue yoke and metallic gold trims. The logo is the team's old alternate logo from the old red alternate jersey they wore from 2000 to 2006 and add the Sabres shoulder logo they wore at the 2018 NHL winter classic on top of it, place the royal blue, metallic gold, and white on it and you got a logo for both the front and shoulder on the alternate jersey.

So this post is in the books come back next time for more AJH HJA til then, later.

Philadelphia Flyers Alternate concept

Hi everyone Alan here for another post here at AJH HJA. In 2016-17 NHL season the Flyers wore the 50th-anniversary jersey which it's alright, but I felt that the team missed the boat logo wise, I was hoping the team would bring back their so-called famous 3-D logo that goes along with the alternate jersey they wore from 2002 to 2007. What better way to bring back that 3-D logo? Recolour the silver to gold and put on my simple jersey design, add gold trims on the numbers and gold letters and you got yourself an alternate jersey concept.


Well, this one is in the books see you all next time here at AJH HJA until then, later.
