Maroontober Day 11

NHL Adidas concept: Ottawa Senators

The stripes are simple but with laurel leaves and a circle in the middle in gold. The main logo is the team’s updated and unused alternate logo that I just can’t past on, along with the peace tower maple leaf combo logo that was on the Sens old black alternate jersey from 2000 to 2007 as both shoulder patch, and helmet. Rounded form font for the name plate, the Sens old number font from their classic red wavy jersey that began in 1997 to a sad end in 2007 (after the 2007 Stanley Cup finals loss) to fit this concept.

Will the real Sens please stand up

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. If you don't remember that one post I made from my summer of concept contributor that involves with fan request made by John O. Well let just say the Maple Leafs aren't the only team he requested he also requested the Ottawa Senators!

Let's get to the Sens concepts shell we.

This one is base on the Sens old red alternate turned home jersey in a Reebok cut, and recolored. Also as requested I put the old side face Sens logo including the "S" logo on the shoulder.

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.

Top 11 NHL Outdoor games jersey

Hi everyone Happy New Year everyone as we are hours away from the Wings-Leafs Winter Classic game. One of six outdoor games this year so I decide to do a first ever "Top 11 NHL Outdoor games jerseys." Let's not waste time and get going.

11. Anaheim Ducks

The idea of Anaheim Ducks in orange jersey was always in many fans mind, and every concept artist desire, and dream come to life. But this one is "NIGHTMARE!" Chromed logo, one thin hem stripe with thick side panel, half stripes on the arms, and tilted TV numbers. The only thing good from this disaster jersey is the "OC" shoulder patch, and that's all.

10. New York Islanders

Despite of just the "NY" chromed logo, the nameplate, stretched numbers in the back, tilted numbers, white yoke, and just one hem stripe. This one got an good collar, and the arm stripe is pretty much tamed, not the best, but better then the Ducks.

9. New York Rangers

This one was an disappointment for me, stretched numbers in the back, tilted numbers, one hem stripe, and thick side panel. The arm stripe is messed up in an bad way. The collar, yoke, and the "New York" word mark logo makes up for an not so good jersey that got that "Lady Liberty" feel to it.

8. Pittsburgh Penguins

This one maybe like the others, but it's better then the team's current set. I like the stripes on both arms, and hem. An small vegas gold on the back of the yoke could have gone all the way to the front of the yoke. Finally using the Oilers collar is an good call! Overall: It just an SS jersey, but fix it more and it could be the next set for the team.

7. Chicago Blackhawks

Picture Credit: The (unofficial) NHL Uniform Database

This had everything going, but fell short, stretched numbers in the back, chromed logo, and tilted numbers. But at lease they have hem stripes on it. Overall: If it weren't for stretched numbers in the back, chromed logo, and tilted numbers. This one would be the team's future 3rd.

6. Vancouver Canucks

Last year this was worn by the Canucks, on March 2 the team will wear it again. The jersey is alright but I felt like they should wear their first jersey from the beginning, and cream pants "Not a big fan!" Nothing too much to say about it, moving on.

5. Los Angeles Kings

Out of all Stadium Series jerseys, this team is one of my favorite! The chromed logo really fit this jersey nicely. Grey as the team's main color on this jersey is really an eye catcher. I got nothing to say about this, despite of the tilted TV numbers, this one is an solid SS jersey.

4. Detroit Red Wings

Classic, and nostalgia. The stripes are wisely place, straight nameplate is fine with me, numbers are classy, and the logo pure classic. The downer is the word mark above the logo make it busy, and vintage white, really? Overall: Good WC jersey but two things kept it away from the top 3.

3. New Jersey Devils

Picture Credit: The (unofficial) NHL Uniform Database

Even though the logo is chromed, but glad that this team did not followed the other teams that give jersey collectors an eye sore. Base on the team's first ever set. Overall: Very classic jersey, favorable, and why haven't the team promote it to full time 3rd?

2. Toronto Maple Leafs

Picture Credit: The (unofficial) NHL Uniform Database

 Stripes, stripes, stripes everywhere on this jersey! Despite I hate this team, but you got to give them credit they know how to present classic jerseys nicely. Overall: Nice WC jersey from an team I hate.

And the Number 1 of the top 11 NHL Outdoor games jersey is.....

1. Ottawa Senators

Picture Credit: The (unofficial) NHL Uniform Database

I'm going off the record and say that I hate vintage white, such a overrated colored, but this one was used very well done to my taste. An vintage white version of the team's current 3rd jersey. Nice stripes that is well balanced that is simple but great. Overall: Vintage white or true white make it full time road along with the current 3rd as home to replaced the team's current set.

And that's my top 11 NHL Outdoor games jerseys hope you'll enjoy the Winter Classic, and other outdoor games, until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.
