Looks like JBo (Jordan Bourgeault), who painted Carey Price's mask last year will be doing Markstrom's mask this year. If you're on Instagram, give him a follow, he'll post progress videos. Can't wait to see what it looks like!

I can confirm this, JBo is a good friend of mine. Great local artist and great dude. He bounced some ideas off me. Looks like they might go with classic Kipper skull, with modern touches.

That would be awesome! I miss kipper’s skulls. They were very good at scaring pucks away from the net.

Tell him not to use any inverted C’s.

I texted him, turns out an inverted "C" of realistic fire is currently part of the design. Any ideas on what should take its place on the opposite side of the proper C? Flaming Blasty anyone??? haha

I was so happy when I saw his post about doing Markstroms mask. No DaveArt bull#### "FX" all over an already overcrowded design.
Or maybe DaveArt is just trying out his new "get another painter to do the mask FX™".

Basically anything but. The inverted C always looks so weird. Even just a fireball would be better.
Something personal to Markstrom maybe? A character he likes or maybe a Swedish flag (although you don't really want to be "burning" your own flag). Something "fire" related like a demon(s) or dragon. Just spit balling, but yeah I would definitely nix the inverted C.

Another proper C, screw symmetry. Or skulls, lots of skulls.

Inverting the design is the proper way to do it. It would look completely ####e if you left it pointing the wrong(right?) way. This is standard practice on aircraft forever but most people never notice because it looks right, even if its reversed.

Inverted C looks awful. Anything but that.

If he’s gonna have kippers skulls there might as well use kipper to  Turn the water droplets in that picture into flaming Cs and that’s money.

Why is there any space for any flaming C on the sides? I thought it was all skulls all the time.

I think the biggest mistake our goalies make is forcing the presence of a flaming C or multiples.
Kipper’s mask didn’t have them. He had fire.
Just Use fire. Our logo doesn’t go well on helmets.

I'd like to see an example of an aircraft where a text logo is reversed on one side of the plane and it doesn't look stupid.
I've never seen a plane that says teJtseW or adanaCriA on one side.

Ya cause that's what I was talking about. When viewed as a logo it looks decent in reverse.

You're talking about the wordmark. WestJet reverses the icon part of the logo when using it on the tail of their planes, because it looks better. United does the same.
Nike reverses the logo on their shoes, because it looks better.
Sometimes it just looks better.
It's a C, not a word. Nobody needs to read it.

What were you talking about then? What's an example of plane having a text logo reversed on it that looks decent?
It's one thing to reverse a graphic logo, but when the logo has text in it, flipping it looks ridiculous.
On the Stampeders' helmet, it looks right for the horse to be running towards the front of the helmet on both sides. On the BC Lions helmet, it would look stupid if they flipped the logo so the lion was facing the front of the helmet but the BC was backwards.
The Flaming C never looks decent in reverse.

Maybe the Flaming A? I know that's a subtle logo that we've only kept alive via the assistant captain's patch (and which will likely be phased out now that we've gone to full-time retros), but at least the flames wouldn't be facing the wrong direction?
Alternatively, could you have a Flaming 25 (which sort of incorporates two inverted flaming C's)? Not sure if his number is already incorporated elsewhere in the design though...
