The launch will take place at some point tomorrow afternoon. At that point I'll post a link to the new blog.

The first comes from an artist I like who's come up with new marks for the Devils, Predators, Senators, Flyers and last week, the Coyotes.It's a great piece of artwork, I'm just not entirely sure it's worth considering as a replacement for the Stanley Cup champs' current symbol. That aside, he's got a pretty nice secondary as well.The last logo I Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05730650488637033179noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419524927872665062.post-89139534425466079562008-06-29T08:49:00.000-04:002008-06-29T08:49:44.619-04:00ToHL Up And Running AgainAfter a brief period of a down time, ToHL is up and running again with the latest poll in the QMJHL Tournament of Logos. GO VOTE!And in case you're wondering, the final poll of the tournament will take place at ICETHETICS (which launches July 1). Then the CHL Tournament of Champions — which will feature the winner from each of the three CHL leagues — will take place there as well.

That is, there's no way to improve upon it. Some even went so far as to challenge anyone to make one that's better. And a few people responded.This is the best of what I received but even it doesn't come close to the Avs' current logo. A valiant effort Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05730650488637033179noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419524927872665062.post-5231671980717385472008-06-27T17:43:00.000-04:002008-06-27T17:43:26.059-04:00Just To Freak You Out XXXVIIIThe absurdity continues here in my little corner of the world. First thing's first. We all have to be able to laugh at ourselves every now and then and god knows I make a habit of it. But this whole "rebranding" thing — it's a little weird, right? I mean it takes a special kind of person to keep an entire blog dedicated to the redesigning of NHL logos by various artistically inclined hockey Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05730650488637033179noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419524927872665062.post-67397552410966860262008-06-25T17:38:00.002-04:002008-07-07T12:59:07.218-04:00Wallpaper Wednesday IIIIt's Wednesday and that means I have wallpapers for you. You guys have been sending in some great stuff, so pick something new to grace your desktop this week.First, Roberto Luongo's mask won the NHL Tournament of Goalie Masks so one reader designed a wallpaper with that in mind along with the blog's new name.Plus, for all you Canucks fans, a couple of logo wallpaper options here.

His sets include a home, road and alternate jersey for every club. On Sunday I posted his Ducks set (it's the first one in the post). But he's been working his way through the NHL alphabetically and I have a few more to share with you today.We'll begin Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05730650488637033179noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419524927872665062.post-45362200445961689332008-06-24T16:47:00.006-04:002008-06-24T18:26:28.129-04:00Melrose Taking Bolts' Reigns?I apologize, I know this has nothing to do with jerseys or logos, but this is one of those times when I'm writing just because I have a blog and an audience. As a lifelong Tampa Bay Lightning fan I can't help but......huh?Yeah I know it's been rumored for a while now so it's not exactly news but it's official today and I'm — I don't know, I don't have the words.

Up next, he's taking a shot at the Phoenix Coyotes.And it seems to me his work just keeps getting better with every design.I've read that some of you are comparing his logo designs to Matt's work and I'm not sure I can Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05730650488637033179noreply@blogger.com48tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419524927872665062.post-53919011927748824942008-06-22T18:45:00.001-04:002008-06-22T18:46:04.377-04:00Anaheim Sweater ConceptsToday I've got a number of sweater designs sent in by readers to share with you — specifically for the Anaheim Ducks. Interestingly, none of them features a redesigned logo or color scheme. So have a look.This first set is all about unique striping patterns and I'm a fan — especially the orange one.The next one is simpler with a little less originality than what we just saw but I'm sure Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05730650488637033179noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419524927872665062.post-21914081750715359242008-06-21T14:41:00.000-04:002008-06-21T14:41:59.412-04:00Fan Art Fit For KingsI know in Thursday's post I promised some L.A. Kings concept art for yesterday but that's what I get for promising things. But I just crashed in the afternoon. I must've slept 14 hours yesterday. Anyway, I've got it for you now.A couple of great artists have recently started submitting new concept artwork to me to post here. You saw one example yesterday with the Flyers.

It's got the best Liberty Bell logo I've ever seen too.

We'll start with Alexander Ovechkin.And we have lots of goalies too — like Marc-Andre Fleury......along with Henrik Lundqvist and Martin Gerber.

I have concept art but it's all in one graphic. One reader has redesigned the uniforms and logos of every single team in the NHL. Some of them are great... but some of them are terrible.

After I posted the news about what their new third jersey will look like, my inbox was inundated with fan created designs. So naturally I have a bunch to share. The one on the left is an odd combination of Wild and North Stars that doesn't completely suck.
