Team Liechtenstein Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. This week will be the last week until the summer of concept contributors begins. Back in October I posted Team Prussia concept that base on a anime series that I watched, witch once again I watch it and it inspired me to do another concept base on a country that doesn't have a rich hockey history, but this country is still around, it's a small country that is sitting between Switzerland, and Austria. The country is Liechtenstein, let's get to the concept shall we.

Simple concept the stripes is base on the country's flag. The logo I made has the letter "L" with red, and blue stripes, with the crown to go with all base on once again the country's flag. Numbers are the Ottawa Senators current fonts, and nameplate Anaheim Ducks fonts with only one trim.

Team Denmark Concepts

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Before my concepts I would like to congrats the Los Angeles Kings on winning the Stanley Cup with double overtime win over the Rangers last Friday night, congrats Kings.
Last month was my team Finland concepts (both world champions, and Olympics version) now this time I made both the world champions, and the Olympics versions Team Denmark.

World Champions version

Stripes on both the arms, and the hem have their own look compare to the white jersey, and the dark jersey. The shoulder patch is diamond shape with the country's flag. The logo is the a lion base on the country's coat of arm, with the shield behind it. The font for the nameplate is Montreal Canadiens, while the numbers is Calgary Flames.

Olympics version

Remember my Quebec Rampart QMJHL concept that has the castle patterns? Well I haven't use it in a long time so I use it for a theme that this country created, "LEGO!" LEGO pattern on the arms, hem, even on the yoke witch the yoke itself has the shape base on you guess it, the Dallas Stars current yoke. The logo is a shield with the country flag made out of LEGO! The logo is not the only one that got LEGO'd, also the numbers is too! The nameplate is the only thing on this concept that is normal. Lastly just like my Team Sweden, and Finland concepts, the fake lase is replaced by the country's flag.

London Sabreswords 2014-15 set

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Remember my HCIHL team the London Sabreswords? Well it's been awhile since the last time I posted anything Sabreswords was the Christmas post featuring the team's special event jersey, since then it's been quiet mainly because I've been struggling in the 2nd half of the season, and in the end my team finished dead last. Now coming for 2014-15 season the HCIHL added two more teams, and redesign the uniforms! I decide to do a little tweaks on both the logo and jerseys. Last year colors was Kelly green, antique gold, and black. For 2014-15 season is Forest green, and orange. Here's my 2013-14 set both the logo, and my jerseys. Now here's my new set for 2014-15 season!

The Logo

I updated the logo by making the handle to make it more real then bulky.

The Jerseys

The jerseys are simple, simple stripes on the arms, the hem, and even on the yokes as trim. This template is Nike witch means it featured that stupid fake lase, so I put the "S" with the stripes on the bottom to replaced the fake lase, witch was the inspiration of  my IIHF concepts.

Now with that out of the way questions is "Will I be making some Special Event Jerseys?" Maybe depends if I feel like doing it, who knows. I got my "Summer of Concept Contributor" put together and ready to go, unless if you got a concept, and want to send it to me. Until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

2014 NHL Playoff Pickz: Round 3 review, and my Stanley Cup finals pick!

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Well here we are the Stanley Cup finals with two teams battling for the cup! But first on to round 3 review.


Eastern
NY Rangers [M2] vs. Montreal [A3]
My Pick: Rangers over the Habs 4-3
The Result: Rangers over the Habs 4-2
I had hopes for a 7 game series, but the Habs just couldn't do anything to score, and ran out of gas.

Western
Chicago [C3] vs. LA [P3]
My Pick: Hawks over the Kings 4-2
The Result: The Kings "L.A. Kinged" the Hawks 4-3
I thought the Blackhawks got this series in the bag, but the Kings put the Hawks in a pickle, took game 7 in overtime as the Kings win the rematch from last year.

Well it's set it's between the Rangers, and the Kings.
The Rangers will be playing their first Stanley Cup finals since 1994 where they won it all over the Canucks.
For the second time in 3 years the Kings are in the Finals! In 2012 the King won the cup by beating the Devils in 6 games.

My Pick if NYR wins: The Rangers beat the Kings 4-3
My Pick if LA wins: The Kings "L.A. Kinged" the Rangers 4-2

Well that's this year Playoff Pickz now in the books, hope you all enjoy it, and let's enjoy the Stanley Cup finals! For now, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Jokerit Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Before we get to a concept, just to remind you all that we are in a final stretch before July for the summer of concept contributor, if you have a concept and want to be part of this event that I'm putting together just send it at ajhftw@gmail.com.
Last Saturday I posted my last post for HCI as the blogger site is no longer being posted anymore as HCI is now on Instagram. It's been a great ride for me to be part of that site, with me no longer doing posts for HCI, I can focus on posting on my time anytime here on my blogger site, for now I thank Caden, and Jake for having me part of HCI til the end.
Now with that out of way for the first time in 2 years I made a KHL concept, well this is base on a team that will join the KHL for 2014-15 season, it's the soon to be former Finnish SM-liiga club Jokerit!

This concept was part of HJC's Jokerit contest, checkerboard everywhere, the arms, hem, socks, and even on the side of the helmet. The logo is currently use by the team I change the black lines with navy. Nameplate is Boston Bruins current fonts, while the numbers are standard block with a thick trim on the dark, and two thin trims on the white jersey.

Well that's my first concept post of June 2014, and there will be more coming, and be here this Wednesday for my last Playoff Pickz post! Until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

AHL Stadium Series Concept Hartford vs. Bridgeport

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Now normally I don't miss every concepts being posted here, only odd ones, and this is one of them.

Oh boy where should I start. The Wolf-pack jersey is simple Stripes on the arms, hem, and even small stripes on the yoke. The logo is a wolf's head with shield that has "HWP" on it under it. Colors are blue, red, and silver.
The Sound Tigers jersey are wild in their own way. Tiger stripes on the arms, hem, yoke and even on the socks. The logo is their current, nothing much to talk about it. I used the Seattle Seahawks NFL numbers to fit this concept.

Well everyone that's this week post. Until then I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Cleveland Barons USHL Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Over at HJC they had a Cleveland Barons ReDesign contest that I jumped in and put it together the thing is it didn't have to be part of the NHL, witch means I can slap on any leagues on this concept, so I put the USHL (United State Hockey League) patch on it, seems fitting to me. Enough yip yapping to my concept.

Now I know you look at this and say it's simple, yes it is simple but it fits the theme for this team. Red is the main color, follow by blue. The numbers are standard block with thick trim around it, and the nameplate is also standard block but without any trim. I use the Dallas Stars shoulder yoke and add trim around it to give that sharp modern look the team. The logo is just like the old NHL Barons logo but it have just one trim around the state of Ohio instead of two.

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

Eastern Conference

Boston [A1] vs. Montreal [A3]

I knew this series will go all the way, but didn't expect the Bruins fall apart that bad!

Pittsburgh [M1] vs. NY Rangers [M2]

My reaction, nuff said.

Western Conference

 Minnesota [WC1] vs. Chicago [C3]

Anaheim [P1] vs. LA [P3]

My Pick: Ducks over the Kings 4-2

The Result: The Kings "L.A. Kinged" the Ducks 4-3
I can't, I just can't believed the Ducks fell apart that bad to the Kings, just can't believe it.


To the Conference Finals

Eastern
NY Rangers [M2] vs. Montreal [A3]
NYR: Thanks for taking not only the series from the Pens, but also take my points too.
Mon: I have to say I never thought that this team would be back in the conference finals for the first time since 2010, but here we are.
Overall: These two teams really push themselves to game 7, but the question is, how much they got left in the tank for game 7 in this series?
My Pick: Rangers over the Habs 4-3

Western
Chicago [C3] vs. LA [P3]
Chi: They got this far from all those six games series, can they slay one more dragon to go on to the Stanley Cup finals?
LA: The Kings took down the Ducks, can they take down the Hawks?
Overall: Tough call on this one, but I'm taking the Hawks.
My Pick: Hawks over the Kings 4-2

Well that's my picks, hope you all will enjoy round 3 til then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Team Finland Concepts

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Nothing to yap about this week, so I got another double IIHF concepts, both the World Champions version, and the Olympics version. This time is Team Finland.

On my World Champions version I made it simple, but made it more Reebok vibe to this concept. I took the arm stripes from a Reebok template. Using the LA Kings number fonts, and the Vancouver Canucks fonts for the nameplate. The colors are light blue, and navy blue at equal. The main logo got the country's lion with "SUOMI" word mark above it, with addition of the country's flag on the bottom of the shield to complete the logo.

Base on the country's 2014 Olympics white jersey, this one I made it equal. The main logo is the same as the WC, the nameplate and numbers are the same fonts as the WC too. Just like my team Sweden concept the stupid fake lase is replaced with the country's flag. I also add the flag on the side of the pants too. Lastly more light blue, and less navy blue, the only navy blue you see is on the logo, numbers, and on the gloves.

Edmonton Oilers Alternate Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. I got a NHL concept today, an alternate concept, an alternate concept that was part of the HJC contest, a Edmonton Oilers alternate jersey concept! Let's get going shall we.

 I used the arm stripes base on my Boston Bruins concept, but with the stripes of the Oilers current set, then I spin it, and flip it to fit it nicely. I use the Dallas Stars yokes with trim around it. The shoulder patch came from the Oilers old alternate shoulder patch, but without the word mark above it. The main logo is the team's old alternate logo, well design logo if I say so myself.

2014 NHL Playoff Pickz: Round 1 review, and my Round 2 picks

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Sorry for a late post, but here I am. Well round 1 is in the books, and I got to say it's a surprising round I say, let's take a look at my review of round 1.

Eastern Conference
Boston [A1] vs. Detroit [WC2]

 My Pick: Bruins over the Wings 4-1

The Result: Bruins over the Wings 4-1
"Called it!" I knew that the Bruins have their way and keep their "A" game up, and keep the Wings from pulling an upset in this series. 

Tampa Bay [A2] vs. Montreal [A3]

My Pick: Habs over the Lightning 4-3

The Result: Habs sweeps the Lightning 4-0
I thought this was going all the way, but the way the first 3 games played this one was going to be a sweeper, until game 4 and Tampa gave it all they had, but in the end the Habs seal the deal, and moving on to the 2nd round.

Pittsburgh [M1] vs. Columbus [WC1]

My Pick: Pens over CBJ 4-3

The Result: Pens over CBJ 4-2
I'm hoping for this series would go all the way to 7, but the Blue Jackets just ran out of gas in game 6, but at least they put on a good series. For now the Pens are going to the 2nd round.

NY Rangers [M2] vs Philadelphia [M3]

My Pick: NYR over the Flyers 4-2

The Result: NYR over the Flyers 4-3
I thought the Rangers got game 6 in the bag, but the Flyers seem to put all of whats left in their tank in game 6. In the end they ran out of gas, and time to beat the Rangers. New York is going to Round 2.

Western Conference
Colorado [C1] vs. Minnesota [WC1]

My Pick: Aves over the Wild 4-1

The Result: Wild beat Aves 4-3
It was bad enough that the Wild drag on all the way to game 7, but also beating the Aves in overtime to go on to the 2nd round. Thanks a lot Wild.

St.Louis  [C2] vs. Chicago [C3]

My Pick: Hawks over the Blues 4-2

The Result: Hawks over the Blues 4-2
Right on the money! Just like last year the Hawks gave the Blues a butt whooping after being down 2 games to none. Round 2 look out the Hawks are back!

Anaheim [P1] vs. Dallas [WC2]

My Pick: Ducks over Stars 4-0

The Result: Ducks over Stars 4-2
I called for a sweeper, but the Stars somehow seem to give the Ducks a hard time in ending their season. In the end the Ducks are going to Round 2.

San Jose [P2] vs. LA [P3]

My Pick: LA over SJS 4-2

The Result: LA beat SJS 4-3
At first I thought the Sharks was going to bust my playoff bracket, but thank god the Kings came back and beat them.

Well here's my Round 2 picks

Eastern Conference
Boston [A1] vs. Montreal [A3]
Bos: The Bruins took out the Wings in five games as I call for it, the quicker the series the Bruins finish, the more tougher they get.
Mon: The Habs surprised me by sweeping Tampa in 4 games, now they are rested and ready for the Bruins.
Overall: Sadly the Bruins got this series, but Montreal will make them work for it.
My Pick: Bruins over the Habs 4-3

Pittsburgh [M1] vs. NY Rangers [M2]
Pit: The Pens had trouble with their game play, hopefully they fix their problems wisely.
NYR: The Rangers came out of game 7 so it'll be hard for them to be ready for this round.
Overall: If the Pens play their cards right, they got this series.
My Pick: Pens over the Rangers 4-2


Western Conference
 Minnesota [WC1] vs. Chicago [C3]
Min: The Wild slayed the Avalanche dragon, can they do it again with the Hawks?
Chi: Chicago is still standing, but for how long?
Overall: Wild is in the 2nd round, but this one will be a short for them.
My Pick:  Chi beat wild 4-1

Anaheim [P1] vs. LA [P3]
Ana: Hopefully the Ducks learn their lesson in keeping their "A" game up.
LA: Came back from a 3-0 to take the series, and move on to the 2nd round.
Overall: LA may came back from 3-0, but the Ducks got this series in the bag.
My Pick: Ducks over the Kings 4-2

Well that's my picks, enjoy the round 2 until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Concept Contributor: Going green

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. It's been weeks since the last time I did a Concept Contributor post, so let's get on with the concept.

Celtic FC concept [by Ricky]

Up points: For a concept base on a Scottish Football (soccer) club, it's a good looking concept. The stripes is nicely placed. The fonts fits with this concept very well. The Celtic patterns are awesome!

Down points: the bright green color doesn't seem look right to me.

My suggestion: Make the bright green on all of them to normal green like on the white jersey.

Well, today's post is in the books. Hopefully round 1 be done later this week so I can do my review of that round including my round 2 picks, until then later.

Team Sweden Concepts

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Remember my team USA concepts? Well today I got another one! This time Team Sweden.

This World Champions Concept is simple, simple jersey design, simple numbers and nameplate fonts. The difference is the collar, I put the Nike 's short collar and add a tie down strings on it. The main logo is the big shield with the country's iconic three crowns logo on top of it. The logo, and the numbers has two thin trims around it. The sleeve patch logo was made by me, originally I had the country's boat logo, but had a heck of the time to have at the right size, so I made one of my own.

This one I'm proud of putting this sucker together. Unlike the World Champions version that has little bit of white on it, this one got more white on this one, white trims on the arms, and hem stripes, pretty much everywhere. The main logo got the three crowns logo on top of the shield with the diamond shape with the country's flag inside of it. The sleeve patch is just like the WC concept, nothing to say about it. Lastly the collar, remember those stupid fake lases that Nike thought they're smart with? Well guess what? I say "Screw you Nike, and your stupid fake lase!" I replaced it with the flag of Sweden.

NCAA outdoor game concept Michigan vs. Michigan State

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. I got nothing to yap about right now, so I got a concept for you, so let's get to it.

On the Michigan Wolverines the jersey was base on my special event concept I did, but two things I change. One was the jersey switched from blue to yellow with blue stripe, and white trim. Second the logo is the big "M" on it with the wolverine inside of it. On the Michigan State jersey is pretty much simple with the angle yoke, and just like the wolverines there is a Spartan logo inside the big "S" so there you go my outdoor game concept.

Team USA Concepts

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Hope you all read my Playoffs Pickz from Wednesday? If didn't I got the link right here. Now enough about that on to the concepts. What you get when you have me, concepts, world champions, the Olympics, and Canada's rival USA have in common?  You get Team USA Concepts, both World champions, and Olympics versions that's what! Let's get going.

On this one I use a standard USA logo that they can't use at the Olympics. Arm stripes I try to give it a wave look to it. The hem stripes is straight in the front, but wavy in the back. The shoulder patch is made by me. Nameplates, and numbers are standard block font.

Just like the World Champion version with the arms, hem stripes, fonts, and shoulder patch. Instead of the tie-down collar I switch it with a different collar. I took the 2012 Olympics Man's Basketball logo, and add the flag underneath the USA word mark with two gold stars to represent the two gold metals that Team USA won.

2014 NHL Playoffs Pickz: Round 1

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Today this site is 3 years old, and I admit I never thought I can keep this site as long as I can, but here we are, and what better way to do a 3rd anniversary post then to some playoffs pickz! 30 teams played 82 games, only 16 teams makes it to this year playoffs, but only one will be this year Stanley Cup champion. The question is who will win? The real question is who will move on to the 2nd round? Well let's get going with the "2014 NHL Playoffs Pickz" round 1 by me!

Eastern Conference
Boston [A1] vs. Detroit [WC2]
Boston: The Presidents Trophy winner is more ready then ever, heck Iggy played like he is in mid 20's, primed and scoring like crazy, some players are in their "A" game.
Detroit: The Wings are in the playoffs for the 23rd year in a row, just barely with some key players injured yet they're here.
 Overall: Bruins will have the edge on this one.
My Pick: Bruins over the Wings 4-1


Tampa Bay [A2] vs. Montreal [A3]
TBL: Last year they missed the playoffs, this year they're in the top 3 of the Atlantic division, what's makes it more surprising they did most of this season without Steve Stamkos and the the team took a risk and traded Martin St.Louis to the Rangers for Ryan Callahan, so far it's pretty well a winner for the Lightning.
Montreal: The Habs had their ups, and downs this season but in the end their in. The players were playing their "A" game, mainly Price who is playing like he's in the Olympics! The Habs are the only Canadian team that is in the playoffs.
Overall: One of these teams have what it takes to go to the second round no ifs, or buts about it.
My Pick: Habs over the Lightning 4-3


Pittsburgh [M1] vs. Columbus [WC1]
Pittsburgh: Just like last year the Pens played well in this season to be number 1 in their division.
Columbus: Well deserving to be in the playoffs, they got players who are at their "A" game, and the number 1 cop playing like he played last season that got him the Vezina trophy!
Overall: I don't see Columbus moving on to the 2nd round, but I do see this series going all the way!
My Pick: Pens over CBJ 4-3


NY Rangers [M2] vs Philadelphia [M3]
NYR: Got ousted in the semis, but this year they got some good players, good enough to hopefully go all the way to the finals.
Philly: Last year they played bad, this year they put their heads back in the game and made it to this year playoffs.
Overall: The way these two teams played this season in 2 to 2 season series ,it could go 7 games, but I got a feeling it won't be a 7 games.
My Pick: NYR over the Flyers 4-2


Western Conference
Colorado [C1] vs. Minnesota [WC1]
Colorado: After taking a big downfall from previous season, the team did some fixing with some good draft picks, trades, even the staffs, and here you go the team is back in the playoffs.
Minnesota: For the 2nd year in a row the Wild are in the playoffs, nothing to say about it.
Overall: Wild got in the playoffs, but the Avalanche got this one.
My Pick: Aves over the Wild 4-1


St.Louis  [C2] vs. Chicago [C3]
St.Louis: The Blues got game this season, but do they got what it take?
Chicago: Last year Stanley Cup champions are here and ready to defend their title.
Overall: The blues maybe better then the Hawks division wise, but in the playoffs it's a whole different story.
My Pick: Hawks over the Blues 4-2


Anaheim [P1] vs. Dallas [WC2]
Ducks: The team is determent to go all the way and win the cup.
Stars: For the first time since 2007-08 season they are back in the playoffs.
Overall: The Stars may have returned back to the playoffs, but the Ducks will make a quick series out of this.
My Pick: Ducks over Stars 4-0


San Jose [P2] vs. LA [P3]
SJS: The Sharks had a good season, over 100 pts this season is good enough to in the top 3 in their division.
LA: The Kings played very well this season, nuff said.
Overall: Battle in Cali one will rise, one will choke.
My Pick: LA over SJS 4-2


Well that's my picks for round 1, later this week I got another post coming, and it'll be a concept. Until then later.

Calgary Flames Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Nothing to talk about on this post as this year's NHL season ends today with some games to close off a crazy season we got, and on April 16th the playoffs begains, so today's concept featuring a team that is not going to the playoffs the Calgary Flames let's get to it shall we.

Do you see a striking resemblance? Yes this is the same template as many other concepts I made, so this one is quick for me to explain about. Use the colors of red, yellow, and dark red. The nameplate is the same as the flames currently got, the numbers I used the Dallas Stars current number font, but with trims around it.

Chatham-Kent Roadrunners concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. On my April fool's day post I got an Roadrunners concept and said my hometown is getting an OHL team. Well it's just a April fool's joke, but it was good idea. I present to you all the concept that I made for not only for my April fool's day post, but also as part of the HJC's Roadrunners contest, the Chatham-Kent Roadrunners concept.

I use the same template as my Windsor Spitfires concept, but on my horizontal stripes there is 3 small stripes on it. The nameplate is the Winnipeg Jets fonts, and the numbers is the Anaheim Ducks font without the tip in the end. The shoulder patch was originally going to be the main logo but I chose to keep it as a shoulder patch. The main logo is base on a old minor-pro, yes I said it a minor-pro hockey team in my hometown called the "Chatham Wheels" this team came from a league called Colonial Hockey League witch later became United Hockey League, and then became the International Hockey League witch it close it's doors after 2009-2010 season. As for the Chatham Wheels that team didn't last long, after 2 seasons, even fresh off being in the finals the team moved Saginaw to keep the Wheels name for only 2 seasons until renamed themselves to the Lumber Kings, then the Gears, and then move to Ohio keeping the Gears name for only 1 season until the ownership were forced to dissolve and cease operations.

Double Contributors: The Aftermath

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Hope you all enjoy my April fool's day post, if not meh I try. I decide to bring back those two concepts made by one concept artist back to give my thoughts on them, let's get going.

Anaheim Ducks alternate concept [by Ricky M.]

 Up point: Base on the Ducks first alternate jersey, this one surprise me. Change the jade to orange, and the eggplant to black help this jersey pretty good. The yoke looks better rounded at then pointy, and looks less crowded. Lastly using the tie down collar makes this concept look classic to me.
Down points:  The fonts on both the numbers, and nameplate are also base on the team's first alternate jersey, I felt like it didn't need it at all.
My suggestion: Make the numbers, and nameplate standard block fonts and you got yourself a winner.

Vancouver Canucks alternate concept [by Ricky M.]

 Up point: This one use the right colors on this jersey that base on the team's first alternate jersey. Using the team's current nameplate, and numbers fonts with trims is a good choice. Tie down collar is an nice touch to this concept. Lastly nice idea of using the full body Johnny Canuck logo on the front makes it complete!
Down point: The nameplate, and numbers are silver and I felt like it look like it blended with the jersey to me.
My Suggestion: Make the nameplate, and numbers white, and it'll be perfect.

Well that's today's post, hopefully I'll get another post this week featuring my concept, until then I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Lone Contributor 4: A silver line for a leaf

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Last call for sending any of your silly concepts for this years April's fools day post, if you have any concepts that has rivals color/logo switch, special events, parodys, and so on. If have any silly concepts send them to me at ajhftw@gmail.com, so that I can put together for this year April fools day post.

With that aside, today I got another concept from a contributor, an different contributor this week so let's get to it.

Toronto Maple Leafs Alternate Concept [by Joey F]

Up points: Using the teams old shoulder patch as the main logo in the front with some tweaks on it, is O.K. with me. Adding white trim around the number that gives them a better look on the concept. The tie-down collar and yoke with trim combo is a good move. Lastly nice use the hem stripe with the white trim on it.

Down point: The cuffs is alright, but doesn't fit this concept to me.

My suggestion: Get rid of the cuffs and put the arm stripes with the same treatment as the hem stripe.

Well that's this week post, remember if have any silly concepts send them to me at ajhftw@gmail.com for this year April's fools day post, until then later.

Lone Contributor 3: Turtle Power!

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Playoffs is coming very close as we speak of, and it's a close race for those playoff spots. 
Just to repeat from my last week post, I got no concepts made for my "April Fools Day" post, it's pretty much my tradition in doing it, and it maybe a good chance it'll never happen if I don't get my butt going. Unless you can make it happen, I'm thinking of an April Fools day post featuring Contributors! If you have any concepts that has rivals color/logo switch, special events, parodys, and so on.

And now to concept contributors.

Maryland Terrapins NCAA concept [by Ricky]

Up points: Compare to the messed up set that the school's football team wore years ago, this one is pretty much tamed. The arm stripes, and the yokes is well place. Lastly putting the state's flag patterns on the numbers that you can barely see is O.K. with me.
Down points: The terrapin above the work mark logo, and front number combo is good but I felt that it should be use only on the alternate jersey.
My Suggestion: Replace the terrapin above the work mark logo, and front number combo on the white, and dark with just the terrapin with "M" on the chest.

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

Team Canada Spengler Cup Version

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Well the trade deadline is in the books witch means we are now on the final stretch of this year NHL season. Who's going to the playoffs? Who will not? We'll have to wait and see.

Today I got both an concept, and some rants about the some trades that caught my eye.

St. Louis and Callahan swap teams

St. Louis was traded to the big apple New York Rangers, while Mr. Callahan heads south to play for the Tampa Bay Lightning. What’s makes it intrusting is that they were Captain, the question is will they get the “C” with their new team? Probably not, but who knows we’ll have to wait and see.

Loungo as the Canuck no more!

After all the drama that happened in Vancouver for lord knows how long came to an end, or to some nucks fans a bitter end. I never knew the day that this would happened, from the failure to win the Stanley Cup, the early first round elimination 2 years in a row, the starting goalie saga, and the list goes on. But not anymore as he got traded to the team he made a name for himself years ago, the Florida Panthers. Last night he made an impact by making 25 saves, help the Panthers beat the Sabres 2-0, and earned a shutout, talk about moving on! With some little tweaks on the rosters, the Panthers can be a real playoff contenders for real. With this trade can this be the Vancouver Canucks ultimate down fall?

Enough rant, on to the concept

 Team Canada concept Spengler Cup Version by me

My Team Canada concept number 3, but this one is for the Spengler Cup. Made the arms cut off for ads, the logo has the maple leaf with 12 hockey sticks, symbolizing the 12 Spengler Cup titles this team won.

Double Contributors

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Well the NHL's outdoor games are going to be done, and history! What better way to salute this year then have not 1, but 2 contributor concepts here on AJH HJA. Let's get going.

Pittsburgh vs. Chicago Stadium Series Concept [by Ricky]

Pittsburgh
Up points: Gold as the main color on the jersey is a good move to my mind. The robo Penguin make a return is alright with me. Lastly the design base on the team's first ever alternate jersey never get too old for me.
Down points: 2 things. 1. No hem stripe makes the jersey look uncompleted, and 2. The grey wrist stripe looks plain to me.
My suggestion: Add hem stripes, and give some touches to that grey wrist stripes some more love just like the others.
Chicago
Up points: The stripes is well put together, and the red numbers is an eye popper for me.
Down points: Red under the arms, and the red helmet throw this concept off to me.
My suggestion: Make the red under the arms, and the red helmet black.

Team Kazakhstan Concept [by Joey F.]

Up points: The design on the jersey is simple, but with the angle pattern slap on it gave it that "Team Kazakhstan" written all over it. Nameplate is Blue Jackets font, but fits the theme on this concept. Lastly nice job on the "C" patch there.
Down point: The only thing is the lack of white, that's all.
My suggestion: Add some white on the jersey from replace a yellow stripe, to add white trim around the numbers.

Well that's today post, hope you all enjoy it, even without an concept by me. I'm on competition mode right now this week, so don't expect and new post from me on this site for now, and working afternoon shift this week ain't making it easy for me, but I do have an partner helping me out with this one, hopefully we get this sucker done in time before the due date. Until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.

Delaware Pioneers Concept

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Last Sunday, we witness Team Canada shutting out Sweden to win back to back gold metal! A first in the NHL Olympics era. This could be the last time we see NHL players playing in the Olympics as the deal between IOC, and NHL could end on a low note. Making an return post since my 200th post! Only 1 concept by me today, but that's fine with me nothing much to do so. Let's get to my concept shall we.

 This is my first concept made for 2014, it was part of HJC's Delaware Pioneers contest. Simple arm stripes, simple hem stripes, simple fonts on both nameplate and numbers, with the addition of yoke stripes. The logos are designed by Dylan Wonka, witch is the only things that is not simple, it's unique!
