The Highlight Factory

It might not be pretty, but Atlanta will get a third team for the 2012-16 season. At least according to commissioner Craig Harnett it is. If you haven't realized, this is written from the perspective of the Islanders expressed interest to leave Uniondale. I did ultimately decide that Atlanta was the way to go - and if your read the bottom of the concept, you'll see why.

The Islanders, due to relocation from the Island, change the team nickname as well.

This idea is unveiled as a combination of Atlanta's hockey past and future. The colors are similar to those of the Atlanta/Calgary Flames and "ATLANTA" runs down the side of the opposite sleeve than the original versions of the turbo blue Thrasher jerseys. But yet it still has it's own identity. I didn't realize the Flames thing until working on yesterdays pre-concepts and then decided to make it more Atlanta-esque add the "ATLANTA" down the right instead of left. As far as futuristic (more-so a "C-Kings look") look is concerned, I took Pittsburgh Penguins striping and added that . . . could this striping have worked for Vancouver (with exception of the "ATLANTA" sleeve)? Maybe that's something for me to think about.

Well, love it or hate it, there she is - my Islanders relocation concept. Don't forget to tell me what you think by clicking on "Comments" below.
