[Burkus Creative @Burkus_Creative]

A year ago today, I started my internship with the CBJ’s Creative Services. It still doesn’t feel real. Working Draft Night & seeing my own graphic go live. Drinking from souvenir cups I designed. Every item I delivered coming to life. I wouldn’t trade for the world! 1/3

DAY TWENTY NINE: VANCOUVER CANUCKS

PNW part 2 brought to you by Brendan from BW Hockey on Instagram. He takes the Canucks’ modern colors and put them on their 1997-2007 template for a classy combination of eras. What yall think?

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWENTY EIGHT: UTAH MAMMOTH

Utah is a state of incredible scenic beauty, and @ts20designs takes full advantage of that with this HTRC entry. Sandstone inspired striping, an entirely new red-tone color scheme, and the state outline on full display bringing it all together.

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWENTY SEVEN: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Nikhiel Tejani does the Leaves for the HTRC! Inspired by Toronto Union Station, with the Great Hall’s herringbone floor pattern embossed in the stripes, & 22 stitched hem lines referencing the 22 Doric columns along the Front Street entrance

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWENTY FOUR: SEATTLE KRAKEN

LJ Bachenheimer (@leajamieb) is repping all of Seattle in the HTRC, adding the Mariners’ silver & teal to the Kraken’s navy & light blue. The patterns from the Seattle city flag double as tentacle-like detailing, finished off with the anchor logo.

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWENTY THREE: SAN JOSE SHARKS

Mix of old & new by @Puckguy14! Stripes combine many SJ unis, angled like the OG black alt, plus circuits from the Stealth alt. The 2007-13 yokes return, now pointed like the primary logo. The Shark head they skate out of is made the front crest

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWENTY TWO: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

Our PENultimate Nerd in the HTRC gives us this beauty of a Pens concept! @BRND_Studios takes inspiration from the Roberto Clemente bridge and steel industry of Pittsburgh. Plus, the scarfed skating Penguin finally breaks free from his roundel.

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWENTY ONE: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

Kyle from @KNJerseys comes through with his HTRC concept inspired by the grit of Philadelphia. With a brick pattern in the striping, stars in the collar, and dates important to the city and franchise on the hem. Plus the keystone C returns!

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWENTY: OTTAWA SENATORS

Our own @balkocreative takes on his hometown Sens! The arm chevrons are for the 8 downtown locks of the Rideau Canal, while the hem stripes mimic the wooden design of the lock doors. Plus metallic gold detailing throughout!

[Burkus Creative @Burkus_Creative]

This is a horrible tragedy, absolute bullshit, fuck Michigan, yadda yadda yadda

What the fuck is that font?? Why are you using a blue serif font on a black background for your statements?

[Big Ten Conference @bigten]

A statement regarding the results of tonight's game between Michigan and Western Michigan.

[Mid-Major Madness @mid_madness]

FIND ME A JUDGE THAT IS A WESTERN MICHIGAN ALUM. WE CANNOT ALLOW THAT OBVIOUS COLLUSION AND CHEATING TO STAND

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY NINETEEN: NEW YORK RANGERS

We have @ct95designs pinch hitting for the Rangers here, with an adjustment on their leaked design. The Lady Liberty logo and her iconic green take center stage, with other elements inspired by art deco design. What do we think?

[Burkus Creative @Burkus_Creative]

@AndrewMLind I’ve drafted similar versions with a three-tier structure. But that’d be simple, logical, and sensible, and we can have that

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY EIGHTEEN: NEW YORK ISLANDERS

Longtime Jersey Nerd/HJC contributor Phil Beck brings us this Islanders concept, as a blackout version of the Fisherman design that uses the striping of the lighthouse logo on the hems and arms. A real fun take on the Isles!

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY FOURTEEN: MINNESOTA WILD

Here we have @A_R_Hey giving his take on the rumored “Night Sky” direction the Wild are taking, using a fun black, silver, green, and white scheme. Plus the stars from the logo on the arms and hem, and the return of the 2000s fur font!

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY THIRTEEN: LOS ANGELES KINGS

We have an expert in the field today, as Taylor from @KingsUniHistory adds one to their history. Infusing black into their 80s look, plus taking inspiration from the Hollywood Walk of Fame to honor past players, for a great combination honoring LA

[Jersey Nerds @The_JerseyNerds]

DAY TWELVE: FLORIDA PANTHERS

John Dalton on Instagram takes the “Jet Blue” alt’s striping as a basis, and then pulls colors from a beach sunrise to tie to the shores of South Florida and the city of Sunrise. He also adds the wave design from the city seal to the front logo.
