Third Jersey Concept Fun

Or, how we learned to stop caring and love the black.

(This is somewhat Fanshot material but I think Fanshots are more suited for one-image posts and I wanted to share quite a few, so thus 'tis a Fanpost.)

I found these at a blogger blog called Icethetics, recently moved to Icethetics.info, "Where Hockey and Art Face Off". Yeah, I was disappointed too when I realized that it mostly didn't mean what Earl has spoiled us to think it means (but there is some of that - link fixed). But the guy does have a funny collection of third jersey concept art. This includes these bad boys:

^^^ dear god YES. But have the Shark be wearing a Krueger Glove.

But seriously, if any of those Anaheim jerseys were actually going to be our third jersey, I would be proud to be a fan of the only NHL team who could actually burn your eyes while you watched them play.

Yeah, the distinction between FanShots and FanPosts has gotten a bit muddled. It used to be that if you flubbed a FanShot and hit the FanPost the faceoff would come to the neutral zone, but now….

I don’t know if I’d care terribly if the Ducks went for a 3rd jersey. It’d basically just be another design that I wouldn’t be buying (unless somehow it was a call-back to the Disney duck), but I’m sure there’s plenty of suckers in OC who wouldn’t mind buying another design — might increase the ol’ spending budget, which works for me.

Yeah I think I feel the same way. Maybe the new colors worked into the old logo would be good.

you guys may hate me for this, but put a recolored old logo or te the full Ducks on the top black one, and that actually could look pretty rad… I think… maybe?

PUT THE FUCKING WEBBED FOOT GIANT D ON THE FRONT OF YOUR JERSEYS. Seriously, they’d go from being in the bottom 10 of jerseys in the NHL to the top 10 if they just did that.

I really like that black and white Kings jersey. It’s all the former jerseys put into one.

Funny thing, I never really thought about it that way, but that would be a pretty fantastic little logo, the D being alone. For the shoulder patch put the old Ducks logo, but with an orange triangle and gold sticks. The old logo had that vague cartoonishness that given an actual and long history, could possibly have a chance to rise in status, but the old colors were, well, sorta ridiculous.Didn’t like em too much.

For the Kings I’d take the black and white throw-back but put a recolored old crown on it; a full throw-back.

Sharks should consider the black with the full crest on the front, that looks righteous. Reminds me of Premiership emblems in England.

Top 3 Sleek rumors overheard at the NHL draft -- in a band called Sleek and the Sleestack's -- it takes Sleek 20 minutes to watch 60 minutes -- is more interesting than the most interesting man in the world, but prefers Pacifico to Dos Equis.

I just realized why both Cam Fowler and Emerson Etem dropped so far in the draft...

Just look at the shirts those two are wearing.
