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.

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...
Here I believe is proof that messing with a classic doesn't always mean messing it up. Antonio Calisto came up with a couple of alternate sweaters for the Montreal Canadiens that are not replicas of anything they've worn in the past. And wouldn't you know it, they're actually pretty darn good.

It's not often the Montreal Canadiens grace the Concepts page. Their uniforms are pretty much perfect — and the epitome of what every other NHL team strives for — so why bother? But if the Habs ever did want to change it up a bit without losing their identity, Dylan Alexander has a pair of jerseys that would fit the bill. Or so I say. What do you say?

What would St. Patrick's Day be without a gratuitous shamrock or two? Consider it done with this Montreal Canadiens concept from Brian Brideau.

Two brothers. Thirty teams. Nothing but fauxbacks.
Our Winter Classic Weekend series has been handed over to Chance and Jake Waddell for the time being. The pair has produced retro style jerseys for all 30 NHL clubs in this year of the first canceled Winter Classic. Last week, Jeremy was first to comment so he got to pick the two teams we look at this week. And he wanted the Canadiens and Senators.
Would you like to choose the next two teams? You know what to do.
Are the Montreal Canadiens in need of a third jersey? Probably not. But Thierry Dick has put together a couple anyway using some old logos on jerseys that — while they feel old — aren't. A worthy set or is seeing them once enough?
