Finally, Freak Out Friday is back on Friday! And boy is this one a doozy. You won't believe some of the whacked out craziness your fellow readers have come up with this week. Let's start with an eyesore I probably never should've posted at all.
Yeah, there's no excuse for that. Speaking of inexcusable, here's a rather scary concept of a Tampa Bay Lightning logo. 
Oh wait, it gets better. You know how Las Vegas has been involved in all the buzz about a possible future expansion of the NHL? Here's what they shouldn't do when it comes to naming the team and designing a uniform.
And then as always, we have our "If They Mated" blends. First, we have Pennsylvania's teams...
...and then all three New York clubs. 
Plus as a special bonus, someone redesigned the Sabres' pants. But you know what I say? If the Lightning can have lightning bolts down their legs, than why can't the Sabres have swords?
Oh, and I mentioned the Penguins a second ago. I need to post this just so it's out there. I'm all for the retro blue jersey for the Winter Classic, but let's not go too far. Here's something to avoid at any cost.
And finally, I can't determine whether the designer of these hates the new Canucks jerseys, or loves them. You be the judge.
Hope you enjoyed your week — or at least your Friday. Christmas comes in just 11 days and you know what that means!
See you right here for another Freak Out post next Friday! And remember you can send in your concepts for consideration to nhllogos@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing them!

I don't really have a theme for tonight's concepts post. Mainly, I just thought these were different and interesting. Kind of curious to see what sort of feedback they get.
One of my favorite things is seeing really nice concepts painted onto game action photos. So I'll start with those. There's this one Kings design from a while back that I liked a lot. 
I think it's kind of funny that Roberto Luongo is wearing it. I guess L.A. fans can dream, right?
There was also a bit of Canadiens artwork that I made part of a Freak Out post that a lot of people responded rather well too. Here you can see what it looks like on Cristobal Huet.
I wonder why both designers decided to paint fake jerseys onto goalies. Hmm.
Anyway here are a few more wacky designs that don't quite warrant being included in the Freak Out series.
For those who don't care for the sky blue, how about maroon? Doesn't look terrible either. I'm sure the asymmetry is still driving you nuts though. And how about the Ducks' logo and colors on a Sabres jersey? That's pretty weird.
I thought the colors were interesting on the Bruins jersey. That logo really did wear out its welcome, though, didn't it? And for a complete change of pace, I've got a Flyers jersey with a redesigned set of logos.
And to finish things off, as far as ironies go, I thought this was a pretty good one.
The Columbus Blue Jackets wearing red sweaters. Don't get me wrong. I think it's a really nice-looking jersey, but blue is in their name. It's one of those no-brainers.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think of those. I'll try to have more posted tomorrow.

So what do all of tonight's jersey concepts have in common? The color blue. That's it.
We'll begin with the Buffalo Sabres and a design that despite its stripes is actually rather cool.
Yeah, the striping does ruin it though, doesn't it? I like the logos and the colors (though I'd go with a white circle on the blue jersey) but I don't really understand the weird stripes. In case you can't really make it out, the logo on the shoulders appears to be the buffalo from the original '70s logo sans the swords beneath it.
These two deal with some simple modifications. The white Leafs jersey with the blue stripes leaves me wondering whether this would be a home or away jersey. It seems to have too much blue to be a road sweater yet it has too much white to be for home games. The Isles jersey, however, is a nice adjustment. Not great. But better.
Here are a couple of dark Thrashers jerseys. Your pick as to which is home and with is an alternate.
And finally, I promised a Blues fan I'd get this one posted tonight.
You know what to do now. Comment away. I'm interested in seeing what you guys have to say about these.
