There's that madness thing at HCI's Instagram that I've been giving a go . . . and I fixed up a Sabres one and made a Calgary one for tomorrow.
The only major thing is the removal of silver from the alternate. Other than that, it is essentially identical to the previous. The Boston one for yesterday is the one from the untouchables concept for HJC last year. As for that, it is the only one scheduled not to use more than two jerseys and not to have a road white (but rather a road yellow).
Calgary, meanwhile, had another design from a few months ago scrapped. I started over and got the above. The new alternate logo by the Flames is the best thing in the history of the teams' tenure in Calgary. I know that roundels aren't "in" in the hockey community, but they are one of a small list of teams that need something right going for them. The logo that currently serves as the primary, well it's simply boring and uninspired. The alternate logo they had in the 90s was creepy at times but still better than the main logo. Finally they got a logo right and I wanted to make it work. Between the Avalanche logo and the Flames logo, they stink quite honestly (imo). While the Avs at least is more realistic (better than their awful alternate logo), the Flames one is just plain dull. A "C" with Flames - that's all they could come up with after they moved from Atlanta?! The logo seemed rushed by designers and then it just hasn't gone away. The yellow cut on the alternate is resemblant of the ears while the red slits on the sleeves are the flaming nostrils. The alternate is quite literally revolved around the crest logo. Carolina will be up here soon (first thing Saturday).
