Face Time With Sabres' Artist

Charlie from Sabres Not Slugs pointed me to a cool new video from the Buffalo-based Artvoice. Buffalo Sabres creative services director Frank Cravotta is interviewed and talks about designing the third jersey and a new line of Sabres clothing that will be available soon.

You can watch the video right here on Icethetics.



He's done some awesome work there. I look forward to seeing what else that team comes up with. Any thoughts?

Fans Get Creative

I've been trying to get some concept art posted a little more frequently. So since we're lacking any real news today, I can offer you these concept designs created by some of your fellow readers.

We'll start with the Kings and some ideas for their new third jersey.



And here's a series of various Kings logos from history in black and silver on a black sweater.



They don't all work, obviously. So let's get some color back in here.



I could really get behind a jersey like that.

Got a couple of concept logos to share as well. We'll start with the Blackhawks.



You already know I'm not a fan of their Indian head logo, but you can also be assured that I don't think this is the right direction. Very clean design though.



This would only work for the Islanders if the Rangers didn't exist. But this Big Apple imagery won't fly for the team on Long Island. Still, it's another excellent logo.

And we'll finish where we started — colorless.



These are some all-star game jersey ideas. Not bad, but very plain.
