Not sure about you guys... but I dig the hell out of it:

what about above the name on the back of the jersey if rebok is willing to give up their logo space. I think it could work there too

This or nothing!

I'd love it there. But I'll bet that's a mandatory logo space.

perhaps, but with the jersey contract coming up in the next couple years you just never know

True, and I'd love it there. But for as long as I can remember (CCM, Koho, Reebok, etc) the jersey brand has always been there.

I don't remember CCM being there. but Koho and obviously reebok for sure. I'm sure (if allowed by the league) that if the team was willing to place the jersey makers logo somewhere else (maybe between the name and numbers, or on the front like the nike swoosh on some international jerseys) that the manufacturer would be fine with it

Ahhh, you're right about CCM:


Wish it'd go back there and I wouldn't mind doing something above the nameplate:


Edit:
I definitely dig!

Before Reebok took over, CCM and Koho made away and home jerseys. Koho did home (darks) and CCM did away (whites), both having the logo under the neck line in the back. An embroidered NHL logo would go on the hem.

Reebok, of course owns CCM. Before that, CCM bought out Karhu, which owned Koho, Canadien, and Titan/Jofa. This is why it was 'easy' for Reebok to get into the hockey equipment marker.

Before the neck logo placement, logos were placed in the lower right hem (right butt cheek). This included CCM, Nike, Starter, Pro Player, etc., with NHL logo. Gretzky had special jerseys made with logos on both sides of the hem to allow for this tuck...making sure logo would show.

When Reebok (RBK) introduced the EDGE jerseys, the NHL logo was moved to the apex of the collar trim on the front

I'm loving these mock ups with the secondary logo! I really want to see this happen!

Have to be careful though...something subtle on the bottom of the sleeve could qucikly and easily turn into what Daymond Langkow had here in the late 90's (ignore the waves (can't see them I guess, they are on the back) and rain lines, if you can)

Not bad, but how would something like that look as a shoulder patch?

I think it looks all right.

Looks fantastic. I'd love to see what it looks like on our regular home and aways. Anything is better than those stupid flags.

[SuperMatt18]

Like it best above the name plate, really don't like it as a shoulder patch.

Needs to be something small and subtle on the retro jersey.

LOL!

That... is awesome.

Like it best as a patch above the name plate. It doesn't really fit as a shoulder patch, the sleeve one is okay but it looks a little funny too. But that might just be because you never see sleeve patches on NHL jerseys.

Here you go much better then the Flags IMO.

[t0rrent98]

Found this on Chris Creamers. It's not bad, a little cartoonish, but its not bad. Doesn't really look like a horse through which I guess its suppose to be. Looks to me like it's a Dog with a Mullet.

They look much better on the Retros IMO.
