In this week of featuring some of Icethetics' most prolific concept designers, we come to an artists who's been submitting work to the site for as long as I can remember. And he's always thinking outside the box. First up, he's got a Flyers concept inspired by the first third jersey of their in-state rival, the Penguins.

After the Coyotes unveiled their third jersey in 2008, they posted some of the unused logo designs that were considered. Brian borrows one of those logos for his Phoenix concept.

Finally, it's not the first time we've seen the Penguins in blue, and it almost surely won't be the last. But with the '90s logo? That's a bit out of place. But it makes for a very cool (pun!) sweater design.

If the Phoenix Coyotes spend another season in the desert, Glendale wants the team to change its name — to the Arizona Coyotes. So Ryan Yuck figures, why not go a step further and drape them in the state flag? Forget an homage on the shoulder patch, go all out Arizona!

By the way, Ryan asked me to point out that his surname is pronounced "YOOK." So before you start in with your "very clever" yuck puns... don't. It's a Freak Out Friday. Live with it.

Next season, if the Coyotes are still in Glendale, an agreement with the city will require them to change their name to the Arizona Coyotes. If that happens, we know the shoulder patch will need changing, but maybe the team could take the opportunity to revise their somewhat dull uniforms. Today, Bastian Schmülling takes a stab at a slight redesign.
