Awesome! Way more positive than I thought off the bat.

I didn't really intro the idea too much as I thought it would be mindless drivel but a lot of what I should have mentioned came up!

So the concept I gave myself was Black Lives Matter: Washington DC edition
So the palette I interpreted for BLM would be black/yellow with white accents, and I mixed in some Capitals style along with heavy use of the DC flag in striping

The shoulders definitely need to be black, the white doesn't work for me at all.

We share the same mindset! I experimented with bringing some white in with the stars etc - but staying true to the DC flag AND the BLM style calls for a strong white-black contrast

Always controversial! This and the white-shoulder option are something I pulled from a few Capitals looks

It looked inverted to me with white still in use (for the outline in this case), but I added a 2-colour version of the jersey if you dig that!

Edit: Just saw the links you shared. Out of habit that was the first thing I checked too! As black apparel is the best avenue, a strong white fist is the use for BLM too. In a literal way it is a bit counter, but aesthetically I'm glad they don't insist on white outlines-black fist or that kinda thing.

Interesting thread... will this become the CP version of uni-watch.com ?

Same! I wasn't sure if that was the right message so I toy with the round-crest example to try and avoid police/military vibes. But then I look at some of the BLM gear and it's targeting exactly that kinda vibe. So it would actually be a really fun style to dive into as BLM+Washington+Hockey is a lot to unpack.

And maybe! I love that KK jersey thread so anything close to that will be fun


That being said, here's a few adjustments from what C&C - let me know what you think!
