0251: Monster Freak Out
We wrap up AHL Week on this Freak Out Friday with Brett Ireland's unique take on the Lake Erie Monsters. Here's how he describes it:
This jersey is a mashup of sorts, incorporating two of Cleveland's professional hockey teams. The yoke's a mix of the Crusader's black stripe down the center, and the dashes are lifted from the AHL Baron's old style. The football jersey style crest is also an element lifted from the AHL Barons, a design choice that's truly something from hockey past. The striping pattern is a mimic of the Ohio flag, and lastly I decided that a "faux olde time" choice would be the white nameplate much like the Sabres have.

Horrible....try again
Indo, that's not very constructive. In no way is this "horrible." Your post is horrible. You should try again.
I really like the black vertical stripe breaking up the white arm stripes. I don't think I've seen that before. As a Cleveland Lake Erie Monsters of Lake, Erie Cleveland (Or whatever they're calling themselves now) semi-fan (due to being a fan of Colorado) I think these look really sharp.
I will say I'm not a huge fan of the front numbers, and the arched wordmark as well as the contrast nameplate. But, those are tweaks. But I get the heritage vibe from this, for sure.
