I'd enjoyed making the Kings series so much, I decided to take a stab at the Penguins too, so here are the first two of a planned five.
60s Night vs the New York Rangers...which gives us the irony of a Rangers game where one team is wearing diagonal lettering...and it is not the Rangers. The Pens' original jerseys, legend has it, were lost some time after the season, making it a one-year design...while the lettering style I went with for the Rangers was also inspired by one of the few times they've strayed from the diagonal script.

For 70s Night, the Cleveland Barons seemed like a good opponent. Trouble is, they haven't existed for several decades, so the Columbus Blue Jackets step in for them. The mid-90s Robo-penguin serves as the crest, and much like the original this is based on was sky blue-heavy, this is gold-heavy. The striping pattern used for the Blue Jackets' jersey happens to have also been used by the Pens in the mid 70s, and the most notable feature of the old Barons' uniform was the Ohio sleeve number plates, which I replicate here.

Probably got some inspiration from Borussia Dortmund's home kit, but I figured as the Nix experimented with the "spikey" design, why not try play around with the "stripey"?

And I also got rid of that shitty vertical Huawei logo... Which made way for the equally as horrible horizontal version.. :rolleyes:

I like the idea, but I reckon that the large side panels and sponsor box ruin the design. Maybe if you used some pin stripes in the yellow areas (either in black or a darker yellow) then the stripes might pop out a bit more.

Thanks, I agree with the sponsor box, I just couldn't figure out a better way.. I'll give the vertical logo a go later..

I tried out some vertical stripes in a darker yellow behind the design, but it just was too congested. Maybe diagonal pinstripes will work

Given baseball season's recently started up here, I put a few minor league concepts together...first, a uniform only a handful of teams could truly pull off: the Asheville Tourists, inspired by the stereotypical American tourist image (Hawaiian shirt + khaki shorts)...the home whites and traveling grays are a bit more subtle about it, with the pattern restricted to the cuffs, but I went all out on the alts.

The Utah Jazz are extremely popular in their home state...so much so that lower level teams throughout the state have taken to ending their names in Z or ZZ where an S would normally do. Case in point, the Orem Owlz. Anyway, I got the idea for this set from glancing at my calendar, which got me thinking about the lunar cycle. Given owls are most active at night...

90s vs Ducks

2000s vs Canucks

I'll note that the bluenotes used on the 70s and 2000s sets aren't exactly the same, though you can be forgiven for thinking they are.

Last part, I promise...I probably gotta split it in two, but this is it. The North Stars were a bit of a problem...they were part of the last merger of teams in major North American sports, thus, their legacy needed to be expressed with three teams: the originals, now the Dallas Stars; their descendants, the Minnesota Wild; and finally, the San Jose Sharks, the polar opposites of their predecessors, the California Golden Seals (most notably in that they're a huge draw, while the Seals barely drew flies).
Wild 60s (as North Stars) vs Predators (as minor league Nashville Dixie Flyers)

Stars 60s vs Canucks (pre-NHL 'Nucks)

Sharks (Golden Seals) vs Avalanche (early Quebec Nordiques)

Stars 70s vs Devils (Kansas City Scouts)

Wild 70s (WHA Minnesota Fighting Saints) vs Maple Leafs

The Seals moved to Cleveland, but since they still stunk, they still couldn't draw...this time out, I even decided to get a hand from the minors, so it's the Cleveland Monsters (Barons) vs the Hartford Wolf Pack (WHA era Whalers)

My idea of specialised Ballarat train and bus signs. Ignore the route numbers on the bus signs, they are just illustrative. The train platform sign is pretty self explanatory, with the station and platform number shown. Each bus sign having the suburb of the stop at the top of the sign with room for further descriptors underneath for tourists.

Have you tried putting these designs on the GAZF rugby template? Might give a clearer indication of how it would look as a rugby league kit.
They were meant to be soccer designs but I put them on soon.
