Tuesday was Christmas around these parts…all 31 teams in the NHL and got new jerseys. Well, some are more new than others. With the switch from Reebok to Adidas for the 2017-18 season, the new uniform manufacturer unveiled what each team will be wearing next year on their home rinks. There are a tons of […]
It’s that time of the year again…the annual Stadium Series featuring 4 games 2 games 1 game this Saturday (February 25) with the Battle of PA between the Penguins and Flyers at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. So, it’s time to do our annual countdown of the all the Stadium Series jerseys in existence. With two new additions this year, we’re up to 15 […]
Hockey’s getting back into the swing of things a little earlier this year with the return of the World Cup of Hockey, kicking off at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on September 17th. Our crew already broke down each team’s uniforms when they were revealed back in March, but the masks are rolling out fast for the highly anticipated […]
We’re down to the final two teams in the last (meaningful) NHL match-up until October (not counting the World Cup of Hockey). How’d it go in the Conference Finals? 1-for-2. That brings this year’s total to 8-for-14 (after going 3-for-8 in the first round and 4-for-4 in the second round). We’re guaranteed an over .500 finish. Yay […]
Well, round one was a doozy, to say the least. In addition to dozens of goals, handfuls of overtimes and players being pelted by light-up bracelets, we also saw a lot of great masks through the first eight series. • More: The 2016 Bucket Bracket Showdown (Round 1) We even saw some unexpected masks, like Michal Neuvirth and Petr Mrazek, […]
With the third annual Stadium Series officially starting their 2016 on February 21, when the Minnesota Wild take on the Chicago Blackhawks at TCF Bank Stadium, it’s high time we do what we love to do here at Hockey By Design: count things down. With four new additions to 2014–15 library of 9 jerseys, where do the Wild, ‘Hawks, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Seeing as how the shins are about 10% up the human body, it’s accurate to say that we’re now shins-deep into the new 2014-15 NHL season. Sure, “shins-deep” is a little (if ever) used expression but it’s definitely more accurate. Knees-deep is too deep. Balls-deep is just uncouth for this site. We’re not in over our heads either. Not even close. […]
After a brief pause to talk with Terry Smith and to talk about Winter Classic jerseys, BTLNHL continues at #20 with the New York Islanders. I’m not going to lie and say it was easy to place all these teams in order for this countdown and it’s impossible to separate personal prejudices when doing something like this. I […]
