Batman Jerseys! Available at RinkGear

Hello again readers! Last night I went and saw the new Batman movie. I am a huge Batman fan (especially the current ones) but I was a bit skeptical to go after a recent event... particularly when they happen less than an hour away from your own home at a theater you have been to before. Regardless, the movie was great! Not as good as the Dark Knight but it was still a spectacular film. After I got home I remembered RinkGear posting some pictures of Batman inspired jerseys on their Facebook page. I really liked them at the time but never really looked into them. Immediately after the movie I looked up the jersey and was desperately wanting all three! Unfortunately, money is a little tight and I can't really afford a new jersey to add to my collection right now.... but here's the awesome jerseys! 

Gotham Knights (Batman)

I love this! The yellow and grey remind me of the classic Batman. I also really like the logos, especially the alternate! I also love the name. The only minor thing I'm not sold on in the font. Other than that this is a near perfect Batman jersey! 

 Riddlers

Initially I wasn't a huge fan of this but it has really grown on me. It my be my favorite one! The green and pink look really cool together and I love everything else on it. I love that shoulder patch logo with the riddle in it and the ?'s on the cuffs top everything off!


 Jokers

The whole design screams "The Joker" to me. The colors, the logos, everything! I really like the main logo with the cards.

This next one isn't Batman but I wanted to share it anyways.

Mercs (Boba Fett/Star Wars inspired)

It's been a while since I've watched a Star Wars film but for some reason, Boba Fett was always my favorite character. The logo on this awesome! The colors are odd but they look pretty darn good together. I can't decide if I like this or the Wookies jersey better.

So if you're a fan of these movies, like the designs, or just have a few extra bucks lying around, I would pick up one, or more, of these jerseys! If you're interested you can purchase them here: RinkGear.com/Store.

Thanks for reading! I'll have more concepts soon!

Merging Old and New: Blues and Canucks

Today's post is all about merging old and new designs. The two teams I focused on today were the St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks.

St. Louis Blues

The Blues don't need new jerseys but they certainly have a unique look. I wanted to simplify it back to a look similar to the early seventies. I used the lighter blue color in a new way and used that great trumpet logo for the shoulder patches. The striping is based on the jerseys from 1973-74 with some modifications. I may create a matching white jersey depending on the reactions this one gets.

Vancouver Canucks

The original Flying V jerseys weren't liked too well. To me, the V design is great and it screams Vancouver. My problem with the originals is the dreadful colors. Yellow, black, and orange all together. The black version didn't look too bad in my opinion, but the Canucks current color scheme is far superior. So I have created that Flying V jersey in blue, green and white. I don't want the Canucks to where something like this again but it's always a fun design.

Ottawa Senators

A popular concept idea floating around is making the unused Sens side profile logo as the primary. Well I am also doing it mainly because... it needs to be done! I started working on this along time ago until an almost identical concept was posted on HJC. At that point I kind of gave up on it but I finally went back and finished it.

There were three main things I wanted to do with this concept.

1- Use the side profile logo as the primary. Self explanitory.

2- Return the laurel leaves to the jerseys. I have always liked the idea but as I know now, Sens fans weren't to thrilled with them. So I decided to make them a little less noticable on my concept and create a sublimated pattern on the striping.

3- Make gold a large factor in the jersey design. The (current) Sens have always had gold in their logo but never really on their jerseys. I changed that here.

So what do you think of this look? Leave any feedback or critique in the comments section below!

UPDATE

Steven G. suggested that I make the gold stripes thinner and broaden the others. I thought it was a great idea. I also darkened the red up a bit and made a few small changes. I think this version came out a lot better.
