Reworking Some EDGE Jerseys
I've gotten some pretty decent artwork this week I feel like sharing today. We've got a handful of various Rbk EDGE jerseys that have been modified. I wouldn't necessarily categorize them as "fixes" but they're worth a look.
I actually like this one, but probably only because the elbow stripes go completely around the arm and don't stop inexplicably. But it could be anything.
It's a recolored Canucks jersey, obviously and the stripes aren't proportional to what the Oilers typically wear. Not that that's a bad thing entirely, but I'm not really a fan.
Otherwise, the Edmonton jersey's odd piping and lack of, well, anything visually appealing makes anything an improvement upon the present.
So it should be clear how I feel then.
Had to laugh at this one. Imagine the Devils reintroducing the green.
And then imagine them putting it on a Minnesota Wild jersey. It's definitely one of the more interesting concepts I've posted here. But it looks horrible if we're talking about the New Jersey Devils. That does not look like them at all.
I do like Christmas though. So maybe I can find a way to use this in my favor. It needs a Santa Claus logo on the front. I wonder what that would look like.
Then some minor league team could wear it as a specialty jersey for a holiday game.
This San Jose Sharks concept is only interesting because it does away entirely with the orange in the jersey. And I have to say, I don't really like it. I think the orange is all right. It really works.
I did like the old jerseys but I like that striping pattern better for those colors than this one. This one needs brighter colors.
This design also features dark cuffs that extend down from the elbow stripes vis-a-vis the Canucks' new duds.
Finally, it's the Dallas Stars we're going to take a look at. Their whole marketing thing was "black is the new green." But what if, as some of you believe, Reebok hadn't brainwashed team management into going all black with no logo?
Might it look like this?
It might. I actually like that a lot. But as one of you humorously stated — the NHL has banned jerseys that aren't white, black, red or blue this season. (And while you could argue the Sharks aren't blue, I'd argue that they're more on the blue side than the green side. Beside the point.)
I like the new Stars' uniforms the way they are and there's nothing wrong with that. But this isn't bad either. Perhaps something to consider for a future third jersey.
So now's your turn to tell me what you like and don't like. Leave me a comment.

dude to be honest, i didn't laugh at all when i saw the NJ concept. believe me, i'm in the same boat with "non-fondness" of Brodeur (and yes, it was a pleasure watching us break him down last night) but the green looks really really sharp. i always kinda liked the devils with the green. and the SJ orange is growin on me as well...next to the Bolts I'd say they have one of the best jerseys in the NHL
The Oilers jersey would be an improvement. Almost anything would be. Sigh.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Trenton or Lowell Devils doing something like this as a special Christmas-time jersey once a year. Maybe put a Santa hat on the Devil in the Lowell logo. I doubt Lou would ever go for it, though.
What did you change on the Dallas jersey?
besides the half sleeve-striping, i think the colors at the end of the sleeves as on the new canucks and bruins jerseys, and that concept, are awful. it looks off because the waist striping doesn't have the color underneath. it's either both or neither
