0454: Twist on a Habs Classic

Yesterday we looked at a redesign of the untouchable Red Wings. Today, it's the similarly untouchable Canadiens. But unlike the former, the latter should really not be allowed to happen. Ever. Welcome to another Freak Out Friday. I applaud the great effort from Caz Williams, but I'm not sure a faux sash should be worn by the most historic franchise in the NHL.

0447: WHA Freak Out

Our first ever WHA Week wraps up today with a Freak Out Friday concept from Ted Noakes, who's mixing some teams with this one. He's taken the old Philadelphia/Vancouver Blazers look to meet the WHL's Kamloops Blazers. Personally, I can't say I'd like to see either one of these on a regular basis.

0440: Ducks Turn Twenty

The Anaheim Ducks will mark their 20th anniversary next season. Check out what Antonio Calisto has cooked up for the occasion. (And this isn't his first time playing with Anaheim.)

0433: Fiery Freak Out

We'll end the week where it began: Calgary. I was thinking before that alternate logo featured Monday could be construed a bit to look like the Calgary Tower was on fire. This old concept by Lewis Dupuis leaves positively no doubt. I laugh every time I see it so I decided it was finally time to get it on the site. Yikes!

0426: A Very Canadian Mash-Up

I promised a Freak Out Friday two-parter and Brian Brideau has delivered. Last week you saw him mix up the Canadiens and Maple Leafs. This week, he tackles all the Canadian clubs — well, minus the Jets. What can you say about it?

0419: If the Habs Wore Leafs... 

Sacrilege. Pure and simple. Brian Brideau has done the unthinkable, mixing two of hockey's most recognizable brands. He even snuck some Flames in there. (Did you catch it?) Wait until you see what he has in store for next Friday. That's right, a Freak Out Friday two-parter! To be continued...

0412: Another Brooklyn Freak Out

Ever since the announcement that the Isles will play in Brooklyn in a few years, the concepts haven't stopped. Black and white. Brooklyn. But almost every look — despite ending up in a Freak Out Friday post — has been very interesting, including this one by Dan Capostagno. I'm not a fan of the lack of color, but there's got to be something here. Maybe a new third jersey a few seasons from now?
