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!

Thursday, Jake88 special (Written by Caden)

Today is Jake88 day!!! We have 3 of his jerseys featured today! The Evansville Icemen have a Blue/White Exhibition game 80 miles away in Owensboro tomorrow, so I'm super busy! Being a stickboy and all! I've been given a big honor as a jersey designer but I can't tell you what it is quite yet! I will fill you with developments when I can!




Bridgeport Sound Tigers Jake88

Jake88 made this awesome jersey for the Sound Tigers using an old Islanders template. It's perfect! there is absolutely nothing I would change about it! The striping is perfect! the colo(U)r distribution! Everything's just amazing! this would be an EPIC 3rd for Bridgeport and it's an EASY

Concept Rating 10/10!!!

San Jose Shark(nado)s Jake88

Jake88 brings us a Sharks "fix" and he fixed it! this concept is 1000 times better than what they have and if I owned a NHL team, he would be my head jersey designer! Him and Matt McElroy! I think there is too much orange and I'm not a fan of the names in the yoke! too Nikeish! Except for that a solid concept and I will give a

Concept Rating 9/10

Phoenix Coyotes Jake88

From Great, to Hate! Sorry Jake but I'm not a fan. I really don't like the striping and the way you used sand and black. I've always been a fan of the 2 color jerseys. The logo isn't my favorite either. The jersey would look better with a squared off yoke. The Execution is OFF THE CHARTS though so I will give this jersey

Concept Rating 7.5/10

Caden Patafie!

Sorry Guys!

You may have noticed the lack of posts and concepts on the blog lately, well I'm sorry! I've been busy and haven't been able to communicate well with Jake and Justin. My main form of communication, my iPad, Can't connect to wifi properly! Until we get enough concepts sent in and get things together, we will have a every other day writing schedule. I'm not sure who will write on what days but I will tell you when I know so you can just read on my days! ;) I haven't been the best admin for the blog and I realize that. I will try to show more effort and time into the blog! I hope the blog will last a long time and gain readers over time! Remember to keep sending in your concepts!!!

Caden Patafie (Owner HCI)

PS. I'm sure Jake88 and Justin Sulpico feel the same way!

Wednesday: #cantthinkofatitle

Hey guys. Justin here encouraging all you readers to SEND IN YOUR CONCEPTS!!!!!! We need to post some stuff, why not you send your concepts in to get them posted? Thanks. Now to the concepts made by me and an HCIHL GM.

Dallas Stars Concept by me.

HOLLY CRAPP I FOUND MY FIRST CONCEPT I EVER MADE!! I have nothing to say about it so i'll be quoting HJC writer "jets96" who reviewed it when this was first posted:

"One of the universally agreed best jerseys of the past 20 years is the star hemmed Dallas Stars jerseys, they are amazingly creative, and should still be around. Justin brought them back with the new logo and logo set. I this this idea could work except for one problem. The hem is very well done, and the execution is decent but could use a bit of touching up. The new "Victory Green" should be used all around and not just on the logo. My problem with the ides is that the logo as a whole is a star, it's like a star-caption, the roundel logo may work better here. (7/10)"


Hamilton Stags jersey by Matt McElroy (HCIHL)

HCIHL GM Matt McElroy designed his own teams uniforms and I have to say they are VERY snazzy. I like the green and yellow colour scheme. The uniform itself could be good for an expansion team in the NHL (maybe to Hamilton...just saying). Aside from the Captain's "C" on the wrong side of the chest, I like it. 9/10 and if I were a writer on hockeyjerseyconcepts, this would be a COTW nomination for me.

Have a good rest of your week guys.

Monday: Got Any Concepts? No.

No concepts, come on guys we just reached 3000 views and haven't gotten any concepts, to my knowledge, in weeks. And the late posts have been getting worse. I'm sorry that I can't provide any concepts, so I will just leave you with this summary of the HCIHL standings. 

1. Hamilton Stags
2. Evansville Rivermen
3. London Sabreswords
4. Altoona Express
5. Skopje Lisici (Foxes)
6. Louisville Lynx

I'm actually quite amazed that I'm in fourth place, because I'm not in first in anything in the stats. 

Also, in the trades. The Rivermen have picked up M. Fleury, R. McDonagh, and A. Steen. The Express recently picked up  J. Benn and J. Bernier. As Skopje picked up N. Hjalmarsson.

Bye guys. Lastly remember to send in concepts!
