There are a handful of concept artists who are quite prolific — guys who submit dozens of designs a month. They submit so much that I can't possibly post them all. This week is all about them — nine concepts from each.
We start with Lucas Daitchman, who emails me at least once a week with a half dozen concepts or more. Here's a sampling from his "Defunct Redesign" series.
Aaron Masik is back on the Icethetics concepts page with his first contribution in a long time. Here he's adapting the Hartford Whalers' uniform to the Reebok Edge cut.
What would the WHA look like if it were still around 40 years later? Nick Burton is resurrecting the league with some unique new uniform designs. What do you think of this modern redesign of the Cleveland Crusaders?
Before the Flames moved north, Calgary was home to the Cowboys. If they'd survived, where might Atlanta's former team have moved in 1980?
And finally, you knew we'd have to end up here — the New England Whalers. They did survive the WHA's merge with the NHL, but were renamed the Hartford Whalers. If the team never moved to North Carolina, imagine what they might've looked like in their original colors.
Hope you enjoyed Nick's series as much as I did!
Jake Miller takes us to the weekend on this Freak Out Friday.
This is different than every thing that they've worn up to this point... in Carolina. This is what I like to a Modern-Hartford-lina (yes I know that's the worst name you've ever heard), it has the Modern Hartford colors, but with subliminated flags in the striping, it calls back to Carolina.
Which name is worse? Hartford-lina or Whalercanes?
If the Hartford Whalers were still around today, I figure they probably would've worn a grey third jersey at some point. But it's not just me. Steven Grant apparently likes the idea too. Gorgeous concept.
