I wouldn't mind seeing these with the rounded shoulder yoke. That might be a winner.

The Atlanta Flames actually had similar striping on their jersey the first year they were in the league before switching to the style seen on the current red retros. I think the current look is better.

I really like this concept, and definitely leaned towards matching patterns myself a few times when playing around.
But a big part of what makes the 2020-21 jersey so fitting for the Flames is in the contrast with yellow. It’s dulled and dominated with black, and muted on white - but the palette is vibrant and “hot” with yellow on red. On this white jersey, you lose the yellow - and it can become a red and white jersey on the ice
Love the concept, just my $.02 on something I’ve bounced around a bit
Definitely love the “too much red” on the whites though! I love teams that can still look the part in their whites... while still clearly being the “team in white”

First off - you are royalty in this thread. Mad respect for the concepts you've done in the past.
I'm totally in love with the retro whites that just got released. Only thing I think could add to it would be a thin yellow outline on the shoulder yoke (but then again I may hate it when I see it - tough to say).
That being said - I'm dying to see a concept showing just a mirror of that white retro: shoulder yoke, 5 stripes - just a mirror of it with a red base instead of white.

Wow thanks! That's big-time from the name we see every time we jump in here. I always think of this thread as the impetus for a lot of fun projects - so thank you for thinking to try and reach King in 2012. He's slow to action, but I think he got the memo!
And you're talking to a fan of yoke-trim for sure:
Working on this design, I think it does add quite a bit to the update. Similar to the Flames, we were looking to re-ignite the brand-era fans identify with and that stroked yoke added a lot of maturity to the design.
But yet... I've done the same on a few Flames concepts, and yet I'm torn. In one moment I love it, and in the next it's too much. In both cases... they're gorgeous

In love with these! Would love to see them just inverted to a red base
Quick little thread revival - I'm just so in love with these throwback road unis! Made even better now with the subtraction of the classic regina crest. (eww) The only thing I'm at a loss for is the pants don't look quite right with those stripes - don't know if it's better with just solid red or some other stripes or what...
I would so appreciate someone with talent to create a home uni with this pattern just inverted to a red base. And to be clear - that's NOT what the throwback reds are right now. They have different striping pattern and thicknesses, no yoke, etc. I personally think the throwback reds are just too much red - they look like they are wearing lumberjack pajamas:
I totally get it that some of you disagree - and you think the throwback reds are perfect... Totally get that - and I don't hate them... I just would like to tinker...

Thanks a lot for the positive response guys, this was definitely something I've had a ton of fun working on.

It's been 7 years and I still love this concept so much with the full white/cream bottom of the red jersey!
I know this was the first thread that lead me onto CP and I just wanted to thank everyone for their creative contributions! This thread is always so much fun and I look forward to seeing new things!

What I want to see
Sorry for the confusion. All I want to see is a straight up, replace all red with white, and white with red, inverted jersey based on the current throwback whites - minus the regina game patch:

I love the Heritage Whites and our Retro Reds. Hopefully we make them our jerseys full time next year. If so, I’ll buy one of each.

What if we did what the KC Chiefs do and use white pants with the home reds and red pants for the away?
