Article Archive #21 - Stolen Ideas

This post originally appeared on Hockey Jersey Concepts on June 10th, 2016.

Hello, my name is Steven, and I'm a thief.  Okay not really, I've never actually stolen anything for real before, but I am stealing a few ideas for this post.  First of all I'm using a like/dislike system for reviewing the concepts, which is basically the same style Caz and the other Steven use.  I'm also stealing an old idea from Ryan, which you can see directly below these words...

This is what a Penguins/Sharks Stanley Cup final would look like (in Pittsburgh) five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years ago.  Ryan did this same thing for the Stanley Cup finals between 2011 and 2013, only he did ten year increments instead of five (I choose five because the Sharks aren't that old).  My favourite looking year is probably 1996, but I also quite like the jerseys from 2006.  Which year do you like best?

Here are the versions Ryan made for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 Stanley Cup finals.

Today is a very sad day in the hockey world, as the lengendary Gordie Howe passed at the age of 88.  He was one of the greatest hockey players of all time, recording 2,358 points combined between the NHL and WHA, but by all accounts he was an even greater person.  Howe was born in Saskatchewan, he played in Detroit, Houston, and Hartford, and he also had a connection to my local area as part owner of the Vanouver Giants.  Rest in peace Mr. Hockey.
