Sunday. 1 concept. Kinda late too.

Hey guys! I'm glad you're reading the 99th post in HCI history. It's short but sweet. I've been busy working on the 9 concept, 3 writer post for tomorrow. I can't believe it will have been 100 posts!

Evansville Icemen Caden Patafie

Other than my Nike NHL series. This is my first concept where I applied the striping to a blank template, instead of using a Paint Users Paradise template and just changing the colors and applying logos. I know to all you experienced jersey designers it doesn't mean much but I'm pretty proud of it. Considering I use Microsoft paint for my concepts. You can judge the concept in the comments. It's pretty self explanatory.

Thanks for reading! And come back tomorrow for the 100th post!

Monday, Monday. Gotta get down on Monday!

Hello fellow concept fans! Caden here today on Veterans/Remembrance day.

 The Icemen have made a small uniform change which I thought I should mention here,

Before

After

Notice the addition of shoulder yokes. Tell me what you think of the change in the comments!

To the concepts!




London Sabreswords Special Event Alan John Herbert

This is a Specialty Jersey by AJH for his HCIHL team, The London Sabreswords. 

Yay:

The Font

The "Poppy" Colours

The Yoke Striping

Nay:

The Black Arm panels

Creativity Credit:

I like the Poppy right/top corner and the leaf in the "Sabresword". Very creative!

A solid concept that is classy for a specialty jersey! A 9.8/10

Evansville Rivermen Memorial Day Game Caden Patafie

This is a Specialty Jersey I made for my HCIHL team, The Evansville Rivermen

I made this jersey for the Rivs. Sort of self explanatory. Tell me what you think in the comments!

Before I go, I would like to thank all who have served or are serving in the American or Canadian Armed Forces. Keeping the press free so I can "review" jerseys like Buffalo's third.

Thanks for reading! (And if you serve, Thanks for serving!)

Post for the "Night Owls" !

Sorry for the Lateness! Me and Jake have been busy and Justin hasn't contacted me, so I guess I [Caden] will be writing today's post! 

HCIHL scores (At time of press)

These scores aren't final, but the Rivermen pretty have their game in the bag. I would almost dare to say that for Altoona too! The London/Hamilton game is pretty close though! Tomorrow when I get a chance I will put the Final scores on the HCIHL website.

On to the Concepts!

Toronto Maple Leafs (Justin Sulpico)

Justin gives us a "Team Canadaish" jersey set for our 1st concept today and I (here comes the scorn) REALLY LIKE IT! If you took all extra leaves off like around the captins "C" and on the back, and then made the stripes straight. You would have a great jersey! I'm a fan of out of the box stuff (as you see with 75% of my concepts) and this is great! The triangle stripes don't match the look of the jersey so I have to give this jersey a 

6.9/10

Evansville Icemen (Jake88)

Jake has a concept for my favorite team, The Evansville Icemen! I like the striping and font, the choice of colo(u)rs and everything! I would have done the "Face" on the helmet, or just the regular logo. The wordmark doesn't stand out enough! One note for your future ECHL concepts, their is a new rule in the ECHL that mandates the wool socks. Instead of the synthetic ones. To benefit lower budget teams.  Also gloves have to be one color and Reebok edge jerseys aren't allowed. 

Concept Rating 9.5/10

Thanks for reading! The next post from each writer will tell what they thought of "Mighty" Aniheim Ducks throwback night! Stay tuned!!!

Thanks for reading!

Tuesday

Well, Preseason hockey is in full swing and I'm super excited! There is a writers spot available to write an either Tuesdays or Wednesdays for HCI! Email us to apply! We also have HCIHL GM spots available! Lets just go ahead and start now then!


Pick the LYNX jersey! Voting ends Friday!




Saginaw Spirit Alan John Herbert

Alan John Herbert Brings us a Spirit Concept which is OK, but not better than their currents. I think it is a good idea I just aren't a fan of the piping. The arms on the white jersey aren't my favorite either. Also remember that the OHL uses white jerseys at home the first half of the season. I like the choice of the number font. It fits really well with the Spirit image! 

Concept Rating 7.8/10





Evansville Icemen Caden P.

I made this Jersey as a Alternate/Specialty Jersey for the ECHL affiliate of the Columbus Blue Jackets, The Evansville Icemen. It is basically a Columbus jersey with Evansville and Springfield patches on the shoulders. 
Tell me what you think!





Soviet Union Caden P.

 I made this jersey for the Return of the Soviet Union comp on HJC. I made the concept based off the old Chicago Winter Classic jerseys with different colours. I tried to incorporate the classic "Red Army" feel and also have a new look to the jerseys! Catch the "Somethingov" Miracle Reference. The Red helmets are also based off the 1980 Miracle on ice Olympic game. Tell me what you think in the comments.



17 days till my favorite team, The Evansville Icemen start Training Camp! I play the part of head stickboy for the team so I'm off the charts excited 

Thanks for Reading, Readers!

Friday

Hey its Caden here on a WONDERFUL Friday! My Ducks Redesign Comp. Jersey is on HJC so go vote for it. If not, vote for jakes!

I like the Concept, But it seems a little too Toledoish. (Toledo Walleye ECHL) I think the numbers could be wider too. Aside from that, a great design. I would like to see this in the AHL.

Concept Rating 8/10

This is a concept I made for the ECHL Evansville Icemen. Tell me what you think in the comments!
