Just To Freak You Out XIII

It's lucky number 13 tonight on Freak Out Friday. Hope you guys get weirded out by what I have to share here.

I don't quite know where to begin.



Wow, I don't know what you did to deserve that, but it must've been pretty bad. Now if you're thinking that looks somewhat familiar, consult a post from last month.



And the hits just keep coming. Flames, take a clue from the Thrashers. This is how you do it up if you really want your provincial/state flag on your jersey. The scary part is that half of it is what seems to be the Confederate flag. Yeah, 'cause rednecks and hicks just dig hockey.

All right so let's head up north where they can really claim the sport. Scary thought alert. Imagine the Rangers and Flyers swapping colors.



On second thought, don't. It's too horrible. Speaking of horrible, check out this Rangers jersey concept.



That's what scary is. I know the new EDGE jerseys are supposed to have larger crests, but somewhere a line's been crossed.

Anyway, let's head west. Here's a color combination that doesn't work on a jersey.



The Nashville Predators are a hockey team, not a figure skating team.

Right?

Yikes! That logo. And while we're on the topic of bad logos, consider the following.



Oilers fans, you think you've got it bad now with your half-a-stripe elbows and practice-jersey looks. What if this happened? Don't even think about it too much. Your head will explode.

We'll wrap things up in California now, if you don't mind. And sometimes you have to reintroduce a winner — like the 1996 Mighty Ducks third jersey. Only the Ducks have new colors now.



That is something.

What we're finishing the night off with might be hard to look at. Remember the old Lightning third jerseys from the mid-90s? They had the rain pouring down, lightning bolts down the arms and — the selling point — the wild waves of the bay around the bottom. Well Sharks live in the water.



The waves have been stolen. And so has what little dignity might've been left in the new Florida Panthers uniforms when an attempt to create a San Jose concept went horribly awry. This is what happens when folks have too much time on their hands.

Well I hope you all got freaked out enough on this Freak Out Friday. If not, accept my apologies. Better luck next week. Until then, I'm waiting to see what you guys have in store for me next in terms of crazy artwork. Email it along.

What's wrong with the Houston Oilers old logo? I thought it was decent.It is certainly better than the Edmonton Oilers current logo, imo the worst in the league.

Why Is it that I Think that That Recoloured and redone Ducks Third Jersey Logo Looks Better than the One they originally Wore.

Wow, I just realized how much bling is on that first Atlanta jersey.... even more terrifying...

Alex said...

that water thought for the sharks could possibly work. maybe put a little more time into it and i think it would be a cool unusual thing to use.

why wouldnt rednecks and hicks like hockey? alberta has 2 hockey teams, and there is one in texas too. they have had some pretty good teams too.

Whats funny about the Ranger sweater is in the 90's there were people walking around with black ones on and people started to bombard Neil Smith(then GM) and the Rangers with protests about the black uniforms. Smith actually spoke to the press and said that he will never have black in the uniforms.
