When I was a kid I remember making pilgrim hats and feather headbands out of colored paper and running around my elementary school classroom like a maniac. Appropriate? Probably not. For most North Americans, that’s about the extent of integrating the original native culture into our Thanksgiving celebrations. Unfortunately, It seems that the largest recognition […]
With 30 teams in the NHL, each with at least two goaltenders on their roster and some wearing multiple masks in one season, the league has seen thousands upon thousands of masks throughout its long history. Ok, so goalies didn’t actually wear masks until the late 50’s when Jacques Plante became the first NHL netminder to wear […]
Ed Note: HbD News has just changed names to something a little more honest and insightful: HbD Breakdown. What does that mean? We may not be the ones breaking news about new jerseys designs (even though we’ll always be discussing them with others on Twitter as they get announced), but we’re the only ones really breaking […]
This installment of the Worst to First Jerseys featuring the Ottawa Senators was first featured in March 2013, and since they’ve added some new jerseys to their library (kind of), it’s time for an update. The original version of this post was featured on Silver Seven Sens, good friends of this site. As always, much thanks to them! Just a reminder, […]
This installment of the Worst to First Jerseys featuring the Vancouver Canucks was first featured in October 2012, and since they’ve added some new jerseys to their library, it’s time for an update. The original version of this post was featured on Pass It To Bulis, good friends of this site. As always, much thanks to them! Ah, my beloved […]
In order to keep our keyboard weary fingers on the pulse of the latest NHL design, sometimes it’s necessary to go a little deeper down the rabbit-hole. In this Top 5 edition we are showcasing some of our favorite logo concepts in the design community from all around the internet. Today’s focus: the New York Islanders. The Isles have been making […]
This installment of the Worst to First Jerseys features the Tampa Bay Lightning, and part of this series is hosting posts (whenever possible) on a blog of the team that’s being featured. The full version of this post was originally featured on the blog Raw Charge, which can be found by clicking here. Or, you can now read the article right […]
Ahhh, Valentine’s Day. The holy grail of the chocolate and jewelry industries. This will mark the fourth year that I will not be getting a ring for my amazing, and certainly deserving girlfriend (cue sad violins)…maybe someday. However, there is a group of people who do get rings every single year and that is the winning team […]
If you’re anything like me, it’s not even a month into the New Year and you’ve already broken any resolution you may have made. I mean, who really has time to go to the gym anyway when there are hockey design write-ups that need completion? Is it really my fault? Nay, I say that sometimes […]
Friday afternoon is well-known as the perfect time to make an announcement that you’re not proud of and/or want to disappear very quickly.

I can understand and appreciate what the […]
