I think the Kraken logo they used is a reference to the Seattle Sonics logo while incorporating a piece the alt Kraken logo of the Space Needle . Also not my cup of tea personally, but a cool callback! Respect.
Thank you Neil for the outlet to be creative .I’m glad you enjoyed these I hope your audience does as well. There are definitely more on the way. Cheers!
Neil, the logo on the Chicago shoulders is the Chicago Municipal device, it’s built into a lot off the architecture in the City. The split that creates the peace symbol represents the split of the river that runs through the city.
That might be the best Leafs concept that I've ever seen. It's always nice to see a tertiary colour added to their jersey and a different shade of blue looks great.
Great review of Sharks jersey and props for incredible knowledge about the birth of the NHL in the late 60's in the form of The Seals. As a kid we went to Seals games and now, since the early 90's, the Sharks. This jersey pays homage to both and would make a great third sweater.
As a Leafs' fan, I'm disappointed week after week with designs for our team (not that I can offer any better ideas for Original 6 teams) This jersey I would buy immediately. Absolutely gorgeous, reimagined jersey.
For the updated Tampa logo, was that maybe to look like the state of Florida? It's either the panhandle at the top, or it's forming a T, and I can't decide which.
Since the Houston Aeros appeared, I would love to see modern versions of defunct/extinct teams, like the Minnesota North Stars, the Hartford Whalers and the Quebec Nordiques.
Atlanta Thrashers 100%. I still have one of their old Thunderbird alts, that design is absolutely timeless. Also, a personal pick, I'd love to see a modern take on the old Austin Ice Bats now that Austin is starting to generate some buzz as maybe being a viable market for an NHL team.
@@chrisx9624 agreed, the Atlanta Thrashers have some of the coolest jerseys ever. It just oozes out that 2000s look, where teams had all sorts of different shapes on their jerseys, rather than straight stripes.
@@choppergunner8650 Dude, the minimalist movement we saw in the late 2000s-early 2010s sucked. I'm a diehard Lightning fan, and I will never get over the loss of the 3D bolt.
@@chrisx9624 Panthers fan, while I do like the panther shield we have nowadays (I even refer to it as "Gigachad Panther"), the menacing jumping panther we had was much better. It was literally an icon, the whole mystique behind Vanbiesbrouck's mask. I like both symbols, but, dear God, why do we need minimalist stuff? Now the only team that still retains some of that early 2000s feel are the Capitals
@@chrisx9624 The star-shaped Dallas Stars jersey was amazing, coming from that arrival from Minnesota. Probably one of the best jerseys ever, and yes, the Reebok era was amazing.
Quite a few good looking jerseys here that I’d buy. My question is, why is it seemingly so hard for someone to come up with a GOOD looking alternate or concept jersey for Edmonton? They did have other colors in their history other than blue, orange and white.
Kudos liked these except for Canes Sharks blew me away I would love seeing that sweater and the stanley cup awarded someday.. Bruins were great Well done and bring on the Aeros.
Something about the Canes one feels off, but I am in favor of the gray base and the ideas have potential. As far as that Kraken jersey, he basically robbed the idea off the Seattle Supersonics NBA team. I want to say it was the logo in-use before they moved to Oklahoma City.
God, that blue in the Panthers jersey is a cheat code. I fucking love it. Edit: pretty sure that Lightning shoulder patch is meant to pay homage to Gasparilla.
The Kraken design is from the defunct NBA team Seattle SuperSonics from the 90's to their 2008 departure to Oklahoma City and becoming the Oklahoma City Thunder. Also at a 100% probability that the Sonics will return to the NBA and returning their original arena, back then called the KeyArena
Hey Neil and Brain Candy! My view on these concepts: ANAHEIM: Absolutely love that logo redesign ARIZONA: Another top logo design BOSTON: Can't call that a Pooh Bear, it's looking more dignified this time BUFFALO: Lovely to see the Goathead in a blue jersey CALGARY: Interesting interpretation of the logo CAROLINA: Something throwing me off this jersey, it must be the grey COLUMBUS: The new logo is quite striking, and the off-white is a good choice CHICAGO: Fantastic logo! COLORADO: This is quite a clean design, I like it DALLAS: Day-glo Mooterus, no bad thing DETROIT: I don't normally go for wordmarks accompanying main logos, but this one seems okay to me EDMONTON: Too much Reebok influence for my tastes FLORIDA: They need to absolutely use this as an alternate HOUSTON: Pardon the pun here, but this jersey would absolutely fly! LOS ANGELES: The logo looks too much like something an online betting site would use MINNESOTA: This could look good using their usual colours, but I really like the jersey MONTREAL: This is a good jersey, but I doubt Habs fans will go for the logo NEW JERSEY: They should be using this as an alternate NASHVILLE: This should absolutely be used NY ISLANDERS: Proof that the Fisherman logo can be used on a jersey that doesn't suffer from seasickness NY RANGERS: I'm not sure that the slight profile change for Lady Liberty makes any more impact OTTAWA: That's a solid jersey design PHILADELPHIA: Not a bad design, but Gritty does not belong as a shoulder patch PITTSBURGH: Looks to me like Robo-Penguin is getting a little chunky SAN JOSE: This is quite a logical step to raise the awareness of the old Golden Seals SEATTLE: Liking the Supersonics tribute logo, it looks quite good in Kraken colours ST LOUIS: Not sure about the redesigned Blue Note TAMPA BAY: This is a good mash-up of previous jerseys TORONTO: This is one great looking jersey, I'd buy that in a heartbeat VANCOUVER: I don't mind having Johnny Canuck front and centre on the jersey VEGAS: The logo seems to be a logical progression from their normal helmet design WINNIPEG: Neil's aviation history knowledge pays dividends WASHINGTON: How many eagles can you fit in one jersey? All of them, and it's not too bad Thanks for taking the time out to read this fluff.
-Anaheim logo looks like a glorified pig, which is the boar and the sticks resemble tusks to me. Kinda strange -Zona! 10/10. Absolute 10/10. Light me on fire this is good -Boston a miss -Buffalo, great addition of yellow in the logo. Striping was a fresh new idea -Calgary, looks like a painter spilled his white paint on a red rug by accident then tried to clean it up. Yikes -Carolina, most of it is meh, same old, the logo is intriguing though -Columbus those arms and shoulders are pretty well done. I can’t do that logo though. It’s too cartoony -Chicago, exact same opinion as Columbus -Colorado jersey is slick, like the darker shading -Dallas colour concept is something I’m up for, this one got a bit convoluted for me as there were too many competing ideas. I prefer this idea in part rather than as a whole -Detroit was quite the effort. For me it wasn’t bad or good. A bit busy, but I appreciate the effort…I’m not wondering if a silver shading in them there wings wouldn’t help pop it 3D like and give it some texture -Oilers, next -Florida, I liked the RR in baby blue, but the logo doesn’t suit this primary colour for me. I do like the logo though and shoulder are pretty tight -Houston - I can’t find anything wrong or anything great, there’s really no reference -Los Angeles - This is actually a really good effort, I’m just getting SHL vibes though, which is cool in its own right. Nice colour ratio in this -Minnesota is solid all around, if anything the logo might be lacking a bit, but it’s still good -Montréal - love it period -New Jersey is a nope -Nashville, like the colour scheme, not a fan of the logo -NYI was standard -NYR - standard, but at least the liberty popped -Ottawa logo gives me real heritage vibes -Philadelphia, I just don’t care for this one -Pittsburgh I thought was pretty sharp -San Jose was too cartoony -Seattle is the same as above, too cartoony, next -St. Louis colour scheme is on point, logo is decent, not great -Tampa Bay looks stellar. Quite sharp. There’s a slight fade in the end of the bolts down the sleeves - that’s a nice subtlety -Toronto blue and the light blue work well and the detail in the shoulder sets it apart nicely from other Toronto jerseys -Vancouver, nope gtfo with that, it’s an abuse of great Canuck colours -Vegas, okay, I guess, if it’s in a video game?? Good creative effort though -Winnipeg is allll good with tha logo. Very classic -Washington is aces, very nice up, down, left, right and centre. Love them colours for the Caps. Good job
Seeing this quality of concepts from your audience just reinforces my distaste for the real teams and lazy ideas they’ve put out over the last decade 5-6 years. There have a been a few good ones but the average quality here is better than the real teams have put out for sure.
Before watching. If there are any colors other than red or white on the Detroit jersey, you lose me After watching. They got the red and white!... but meh
This guy is 🔥but this time around his fire was 💦 why the pooh bare jersey It needs to go like I'm so sick of swing that concept. But overall my favorite here has to go to be honest Detroit. And Detroit don't hate but that logo looks like good version of a indieapolos 500 logo
Brain Candy is a true mastermind with these concepts, that Sharks concept surprised me with how well it works 👀
I think the Kraken logo they used is a reference to the Seattle Sonics logo while incorporating a piece the alt Kraken logo of the Space Needle . Also not my cup of tea personally, but a cool callback! Respect.
It's the last Sonics logo till they've become the Oklahoma City Thunde
Yeah, I would've went with the metropolitans color scheme, but I mean, why not
Thank you Neil for the outlet to be creative .I’m glad you enjoyed these I hope your audience does as well. There are definitely more on the way. Cheers!
Neil, the logo on the Chicago shoulders is the Chicago Municipal device, it’s built into a lot off the architecture in the City. The split that creates the peace symbol represents the split of the river that runs through the city.
The Houston Aeros
Seattle Kraken
And Florida Panthers are my three favourite Alternate Jersey Concepts..well done BrainCandy!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That might be the best Leafs concept that I've ever seen. It's always nice to see a tertiary colour added to their jersey and a different shade of blue looks great.
Great review of Sharks jersey and props for incredible knowledge about the birth of the NHL in the late 60's in the form of The Seals. As a kid we went to Seals games and now, since the early 90's, the Sharks. This jersey pays homage to both and would make a great third sweater.
I don’t think Neil even noticed the “W” in the wilds logo that’s sick!
The Kraken logo is a play on the Seattle Super Sonics logo from the late 90’s
That Seattle logo is a callback to the Seattle Supersonics...also BRING THEM BACK!!!!
Those worked so well. Those are all *AMAZING* and I want all of them.
Is the Kraken logo maybe a throwback to the SuperSonics?
Yes it is, the late 90s logo with the Space Needle. I feel if Neil knew this he would like it more
As a Leafs' fan, I'm disappointed week after week with designs for our team (not that I can offer any better ideas for Original 6 teams) This jersey I would buy immediately. Absolutely gorgeous, reimagined jersey.
Houston was a great concept. Maybe the future location for Arizona?
Even though San Jose already has one of the best logos in the league this new logo is so nice!!
That Kraken logo looks to be Supersonics-inspired
I believe the logo of the Kraken jersey is a reference to the former Seattle Supersonics of the NBA
Spot on
Love the Minnesota, Arizona, Houston, Toronto and Colombus ones. They defy appeal to me the most.
What I noticed right of the bat was that the logo on the hurricanes concept jersey was upside down
For the updated Tampa logo, was that maybe to look like the state of Florida? It's either the panhandle at the top, or it's forming a T, and I can't decide which.

Bring baq da Supersonics wid GP nd Kemp in the front office.

My question is, why is it seemingly so hard for someone to come up with a GOOD looking alternate or concept jersey for Edmonton?
They did have other colors in their history other than blue, orange and white.
I would buy that Columbus Blue Jackets jersey in a second! I also really liked the Nashville and Minnesota Jerseys.
Kudos liked these except for Canes Sharks blew me away I would love seeing that sweater and the stanley cup awarded someday.. Bruins were great Well done and bring on the Aeros.

The Leafs were my favorite. Buffalo, San Jose, and the Supersonic Krakens jersey werebup there too
the new york rangers one is nice, but could be improved by maybe implementing the Empire State Building
God, that blue in the Panthers jersey is a cheat code. I fucking love it.
Edit: pretty sure that Lightning shoulder patch is meant to pay homage to Gasparilla.
The fact there was only one dud (EDM in this video) in all 3 sets says a ton
My fav was Ottawa that one was sick and that hurts to say right now being a wings fan 😂
Kraken Logo Looks like SuperSonics throwback
Colorado stopped using foot shoulder patch shortly after droping Hershey as the AHL team in the early 2000's
Great set! Neil, I don’t love to see some concepts from YOU. But they can’t all have squared off shoulders. Lol
Great jerseys from Brain Candy!
Seattle looks like the supersonic logo
The Kraken design is from the defunct NBA team Seattle SuperSonics from the 90's to their 2008 departure to Oklahoma City and becoming the Oklahoma City Thunder. Also at a 100% probability that the Sonics will return to the NBA and returning their original arena, back then called the KeyArena

After watching. They got the red and white!... but meh
I have Jersey 51
Hi
canes jerseys are never done well in these.. so disappointing as a caniac.
Everyone needs to STOP submitting DETROIT CONCEPTS. They are ALL FAILURES. The jersey is already PERFECT.
Trying to design something for Detroit that works well has been the bane of my existence. The already have a perfect Jersey lmao
This guy is 🔥but this time around his fire was 💦 why the pooh bare jersey It needs to go like I'm so sick of swing that concept. But overall my favorite here has to go to be honest Detroit. And Detroit don't hate but that logo looks like good version of a indieapolos 500 logo
That dallas stars jersey is so bad
Hi Neil, If you don't know a designers gender you can just use "they" so you don't have to correct yourself "he or she" every time :)
🥴
Interesting…
But there are only two genders
