Wednesday: Playoff Hockey? Great!

Hello everyone, and welcome to HCI!
It's been an eventful week for me so far, as my Babcia (Great Grandmother, Polish) passed away because of cancer. :( Although, she lived a very long life, as she was 100 years old! She told a story that when she was a little girl, she was in a refugee camp - and a bomb was flying her way...an opposing (I think) soldier was either trying to push her into the bomb, or probably to get her out of the way. The soldier was struck and she was able to escape.

Playoff hockey has been great so far, but it's too bad that so many good teams get eliminated in the first round. Like St.Louis, and the loser of LA vs SJ.


Now on to the concepts:


Justin S. - Calgary Flames

Justin is here with a Flames concept! The home and away jerseys remind me of the old flames jerseys! The colours of the striping is good, instead of using the old Calgary alt logo, you could recolour the main Flames logo. I just don't really like that alt Flames logo. The alternate has the beloved (to me anyways) arm striping, although the random red stripe just before the TV numbers, and the yellow and black caution stripes I don't like. They should be changed to maybe solid yellow or white? Pretty good concept from Justin!


I recently made a Toronto Maple Leafs logo, (in production of my Heritage Classic HABS VS LEAFS concept) so here it is! I traced a real maple leaf and I think it turned out pretty well.

That's all for this post...thanks for reading!

Saturday: Posting one team concepts is an bad HABit for me!

Hello I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to. Welcome to the first Saturday of 2014! Did you guys enjoy the Winter Classic? If yes, then good for you! You guys should enjoy it, oh here's something you guys should enjoy also, "More Concept!" How about an all Montreal Canadiens post, sound good? Let's get going shall we.

Montreal Canadiens concept [by Matthew M.]

Up points: Nice classic like look, the stripes on the chest, arms, and socks is nicely done. The numbers really works nicely, mainly on the road it was nicely pulled off.

Down points: Collars looks to plain to me. No stripes on the pants.

My suggestion: Add two stripes on the collars, and add stripes on the pants.

Montreal Canadiens concept [by Me]

This is my concept from 2011 I put together I decide to keep the classic look with a touch of vertical piping on the front and the back of the jersey, then give a vise versa on the side, then add some old logos from the early days on the stripes and here it is I kinda like this design it may not be the set that no one will see it full time (or a 3rd for that matter) but someone has to dream it.

Well that's today's post be here tomorrow as I.... Oh wait I'm not posting tomorrow why? Because we got an new writer to do Sunday, who? You'll have to find out tomorrow until then, I'm Alan, I'll get elbow to my head, so you don't have to.
