More Canucks jerseys!

I decided to combine a few different element of professional Vancouver hockey team from the past. First, the colours are from the old Vancouver Blazers of the WHA. Atrocious 70's colours - so bad that they're good!

The first one I envision as a third jersey. It takes the WHA colours and puts them into the a jersey styles after the "original" Cancuks of the Pacific Coast Hockey League and old minor pro Western Hockey League. They at one time had a Johnny Canuck logo, however later went to the printed "Cancuks". I tried to keep the sock in the same style. Here is a picture of the old team.

The "home" and "away" jerseys take the team's new stylized skate (stylized from the original skate logo when the team entered the NHL) and puts it on the old WHA jersey. Some changes to the stripes and the pants to modernize it a bit. Here is a picture of the old WHA "Blazers" jersey.

Now the questions...are they so bad they're good?

These are my actual (low quality) heat third jersey concepts. They use all the colours of the heat, and keep the same flags. I like the tops striping, and I like the complexity. However, for the bottom, I tried something more simple, but asymetric, putting the BC flag on the left arm, and the heat logo on the right shoulder, with simple but still striking stripes. 

I didnt edit the A too much, other than recolouring it to the heats red and silver, keeping the pattern, I made the numbers the same

One problem I see is the lack of white, white makes things pop

The original idea was based off this jersey,  but I like my execution a little more, with more than just a logo swap

And just for good measure....this is one of the Kamloops Chiefs this weekend. They were the WHL (then the WCHL) team prior to the arrival of the Blazers. And in a few short years they managed to have a number of NHL'ers play for them...Including one who wore this number for a very short period of time....any guesses?

A lot of people will think of course that these guys were the predecessors to the Blazers. Actually they were the predecessors to the Seattle Breakers who are now known as the Seattle Thunderbirds. 

I suppose things came in full circle in a sense. The Blazers when they eventually did their first Memorial Cup in 1992 it was in Seattle!

Some more modifications to be made...I will keep this up for now.

So in an inspired (and ill advised?) moment, I tried to convert the Whitecaps to an actual Canucks concept with logo.

Not so happy with it but what the heck.

It's been a while since i have posted something...so busy!!!

Similar to the previous Team Canada jersey's I have created, I decided to try a black spin. Kinda like these!!!

I have been working on some Canadiens jerseys for a contest held by one of the geeky jersey concept sites that I like. However, it is a hard one to redesign. I mean, the Montreal Canadiens jerseys are pretty much perfection!
