Rebrand Series: Flyers 3rds

I can't remember the last time I actually posted a concept on a Friday morning like I've said I would, wow feels good to be back on top of the ball with this stuff, thanks for your patience.
Numerous times throughout their recent history, the Flyers have attempted to use a black jersey in their rotation.  I haven't been opposed to these jersey but they haven't been the best, which is why I think they keep getting rid of them.  That being said I've taken my theory of simplicity that I applied to the Flyers home and away set I posted last week and directly applied it to a black 3rd jersey.  In fact, the 3rd jersey is exactly the same design as the home and away set but with black as the primary colour and orange as the accent.  Clean, simple, and loving the orange accent, I think it works.
Because I used the same jersey design I did want to treat you guys to some sort of alternate logo.  And while I was hesitant to remove the liberty bell from my new Flyers logo when I did, I was pleasantly surprised at how the doubled sided Flyers logo looked.  And so here it is, enjoy:

Rebrand Series: Philadelphia Flyers

The Flyers have got something going for them that no other team in the NHL has...ORANGE.  The bright orange looks incredible on the Flyers jersey and I wanted to make sure that I didn't want to take anything away from this rare colour.  With that in mind I had a difficult time designing a jersey that did this, which is why the Flyers is one of the last jerseys I've posted in my rebrand series.
I tried a bunch of different ideas; some unique and others were just variations of things that have done before but nothing seemed to be working.  That's when I realized, I had to simplify the look to give the orange the look it deserved.
The logo was pretty easy to decide on.  With how awesome my Red Wings logo turned out I figured I'd try the same thing with it's winged counterpart, the Flyers logo.  With that in mind I angled the two sides slightly because it looks awkward when no angled, and most notably, I've added the liberty bell, perhaps the most famous landmark in Philly.  finding a good picture of the liberty bell turned out to be more difficult than I thought so I've used the Philadelphia Phillies logo and changed it to Flyers orange, and I gotta say, I'm liking the way it turned out.

Rebrand Series: Canadiens 3rds

First off, a thousand apologies for leaving you guys hanging these last 3 weeks.  Year end stuff has school has gotten the better of me and I have had next to no time to post anything.
So without further ado, I give you a re-imagined concept of a throwback jersey the Habs wore during their centennial season.  It is essentially the same jersey, but I've decluttered it (although it may not feel like it) by putting less stripes on it and giving it just a hint more blue because although the Habs have worn red since anyone can remember, the blue looks good, and the jersey is an instant classic.
The logo is a combination of 2 logos the Canadiens used back in the early 1900s.  The maple leaf was used in 1911, while the CA logo was used a few years later in 1915.  Simply put I've combined to historical eras of the rich history that is the MontrĂ©al Canadiens and put a new twist on a classic jersey from deep in the archives.
