Fun Fact: when the Montreal Canadiens were named, the word "Canadien" was primarily an ethnic identifier, not just a generic name for any Canadian. A "Canadien" was very specifically what we now might call a French Canadian or... Quebecois. At that time, naming the team the Club de hockey Canadien was the equivalent of naming a team the Sicilians or the Irish or something, and the team was founded specifically to serve the French community, because the Maroons were an explicitly English team.
As some one who is well versed in the Whalers/Hurricanes history this works so well! My only tweak is add the the shoulders the logo with the W and harpoon and the shoulders (at least in a version to match the jersey) and add lucky in the collar. You go those things and I would be looking to buy that jersey now!!! Fantastic job!
Thanks for the shout out Neil. Big props to the wife for getting in touch with you. I guess I'll keep her! LOL. Hopefully you get to that PO box soon for that package I sent you.
I love that Seattle jersey, but the Motor City one right after it... Oooh, baby, that one just does all of the little things to get me to be interested.
Awesome video. So many cool ones in here. Top 3 for me is: 3. Chicago Tribe 2. Halifax Sharks 1. Utah Rockies. I literally want a Utah jersey now. So so so nice.
Man, I've been waiting to see if you were going to do a reaction video to available players for the expansion draft. I did a mock draft and seattle has the potential to be loaded (didnt put the cap into my drafting lol).
@@gregorysmaldino6947 not really. Look at a North Carolina license plate and an Ohio licence plate. The birthplace of aviation was the bicycle shop owned by the Wright brothers. They just did their first successful flight at Kitty Hawk
@Austin Gall Tube I was saying it to Neil because he got confused of the animal Hunter is and Neil thought Hunter is a wolf. If you Austin and I a Ducks fan know Hunter is a lynx
Go New England Whalers! Crush them St. Louis Bruins! Also, the State of Texas (nicknamed "The Lone Star State") is the only state in the Union which, prior to being admitted as a state, in 1845, was a nation of its own. Thus, not the Rock Island Independents of the NFL and its proceeding leagues (1907 - '26), but the Texas Independents is very appropriate as a nickname. The City of Chicago's team ought to have been the Flames, in remembrance of the Chicago Fire of 1871. Montreal can forget about the Quebecois as can the Steel City their P.G. Wynnes (throw away in the trash)...bring back the Canadiens and the Hornets, respectively. Utah Rockies sounds plausible. San Diego Sea Lions, not so much. And lastly, the Motor City Thunder (Detroit) and the Carolina Flyers (Raleigh) sound awesome! Excellent work, Sergio.
The San Diego one is a great combination of the current Gulls colors (slightly different). As a 4th generation San Diegan, I could totally see this being a legit team in the city.
Great concepts but stl bruins new england whalers got potential. But my fave is the lv knights and Detroit it's perfect for Nascar lol! But yes good job
Great video! I would LOVE it if my home state of Utah got an NHL team. Our market here already supports an NBA team (Jazz), and our minor league hockey team the Grizzlies does pretty well. I really liked the Ram logo for the Utah Rockies jersey in the video. However I'd personally go with a different name if Utah ever got an NHL team. Plus Colorado has their MLB team the Rockies basically next door, so might not want to steal their name. Maybe keep the cool Ram logo but call the team the Utah Clash (alt logo/shoulder patch with two rams butting heads) or, the Utah Charge (not Chargers, don't want to overlap with the football team), or The Utah Power, something like that to go with the Ram logo. Maybe The Utah Summit, or The Utah Peak. Both referring to the highest point or top of a mountain. I think I like Summit better personally, but both could still fit well with that Ram mascot/logo from the video. Or maybe something completely different. I kind of like the idea of the Utah Gulls (Seagull is the state bird) or maybe the Utah Deseret ( NOT "desert" like dry arid landscape ) Deseret (Pronounced Dez-er-et), the word basically means Honeybee, so the team logo could be a stylized beehive. Some might not like it because the name has some ties to the Mormon religion (Mormons settled the Salt Lake valley/Utah) but I really like it despite that connection. Utah is known for it's ski resorts in the winter and "the greatest snow on earth" so maybe a team name like The Freeze or The Blizzard could also work. Probably a pipe dream as the NHL coming to Utah is unlikely, but I can still dream. What do you all think of these names/team ideas for Utah?
Hey Neil! always pumped for these videos. Would like to try my hand at some concepts myself, but don't wanna pay for photoshop/templates. Is there an alternative method?
Yeah, the Wright brothers were from Dayton, OH but went to Kitty Hawk, NC for their first flight. My guess is it's probably windy in Kitty Hawk to help provide extra lift on the wings.
Does the Adidas branding need to be shown so prominently? That is really the only real problem I have with this set...aside from a couple of jerseys that look more geared to the ECHL or AHL rather than NHL. Ya got it on 'Hunter', Neil
yeah. i tried to use the stripes as much as i could bcuz it helped with the creative process and i'm a huge fan of the stripes so it was fun for me. but, yes, it was really repetitive. it was just a rule i made for myself to show off the adidas branding.
Can you do goal horns and songs together. I say this because when I watched your goal horns video, I noticed Dallas was 3rd. I like their goal horn, but there really is nothing special with the song. Please do them together.

Kaiju (kai-joo) is in Japanese meaning "strange creature" in English. Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah, and Kong are examples of Kaiju's

That Utah Rockies jersey is absolutely amazing
I wish I could buy that jersey.
The maple leaf on the collar of the Toronto jersey was a really nice touch. Would look good on a white jersey too, as the leaf could be red
It is awesome to see such different names and jerseys concepts.
I love that Seattle jersey, but the Motor City one right after it... Oooh, baby, that one just does all of the little things to get me to be interested.
An insight on the St. Louis one. The bears are taken from the Missouri state flag.
the fact that neil actually said “giggity” has made my dad
i think your grandparents made your dad
@@hotdogwater7037 giggity
i meant to say day lol
Awesome video. So many cool ones in here. Top 3 for me is:
3. Chicago Tribe
2. Halifax Sharks
1. Utah Rockies.
I literally want a Utah jersey now. So so so nice.
Man, I've been waiting to see if you were going to do a reaction video to available players for the expansion draft. I did a mock draft and seattle has the potential to be loaded (didnt put the cap into my drafting lol).
number 1 for me- UTAH Rockies i loved that jersey, number 2 was The Motor City Thunder!!
I like the mix of moving team names to more fitting locales/ brand new team identities/ just new teams 👌
that's wassup
I like how the FLA in the Flames logo was different to symbolize the Florida abbreviation
I love the collar of MN saying “state of Hawkey”
Edmonton's mascot is named hunter and he is a lynx
Carolina Flyers is a nod to North Carolina being the birthplace of aviation!
Ohio is the birthplace of aviation. Carolina was first in flight
@@cbjfan99 kind of an oxymoron
@@gregorysmaldino6947 not really. Look at a North Carolina license plate and an Ohio licence plate. The birthplace of aviation was the bicycle shop owned by the Wright brothers. They just did their first successful flight at Kitty Hawk
@@cbjfan99 okay thanks for info, man.
The creativity was amazing! I think I liked the Rockies as my number one. But honestly I really liked the bottom two as well! Everything was so bold!
thank you!
@@emblemanic8553 your welcome!!!! Can’t wait to see the others!
Oilers' mascot, Hunter he's not a wolf, He's a Lynx
@Austin Gall Tube I was saying it to Neil because he got confused of the animal Hunter is and Neil thought Hunter is a wolf. If you Austin and I a Ducks fan know Hunter is a lynx
The Winnipeg Rangers reminds me of our university team the Manitoba Bisons mainly because of the bison
My first thought was Marshall University in West Virginia, they are called the Thundering Herd, same colors.
I took it from the Manitoba provincial flag
The Motor City Thunder is my favorite jersey.
Motor city thunder is lit
Americans and Narwhals were my fav
You have to stay the J in kaiju
Some of These are like city concept jerseys
Love this!! Complete rebrands are awesome!! 🤘🤠
Tampa Bay should definitely use those colors for the Motor City Thunder
It’s the perfect shade of blue to go with the black that they need to bring back and that silver is an amazing accent too!
These would all make for really nice roller hockey jerseys, but that Chicago jersey looks like a soccer jersey. They’re still all awesome though!
Somewhere in the Multiverse is an NHL comprised of these teams with these jerseys.
Nice decision with the Carolina Flyers since that’s where aviation started.
exactly ;)
Thanks to two brothers from Ohio 😉
Found your channel about a month ago and I am hooked.
Go New England Whalers! Crush them St. Louis Bruins!

Thank you!
neat jersey for Halifax
I want that Texas Independence Jersey OMG
Pretty sick!
The San Diego one is a great combination of the current Gulls colors (slightly different). As a 4th generation San Diegan, I could totally see this being a legit team in the city.
The Winnipeg Rangers jersey in my opinion is one that would make a great Dallas Stars alternate
it was inspired by the stars' branding... and the sabres, and mounties
That New Jets Jersey looks sharp on you!
These are all awesome!!!
Thank you!
I love the Seattle one
Some one of these jerseys are amazing love the Quebec one and Colorado
Some of these are quite odd indeed but I love the creativity in each
I’m more confused here than I was trying to figure out my sexuality 😂
Missouri's state flag (St. Louis) has bears (bruins) on it. So this jersey makes more sense than you think.
Noreasters font is literally called “dripping marker” so good call
Carolina flyers makes so much sense. Just the coloring is strange.
That Edmonton jersey in underrated
Yeah, it’s sick
My top 3:
3. Ohio Battalion
2. Texas Independents
1. Chicago Tribe!!!!
Great concepts but stl bruins new england whalers got potential. But my fave is the lv knights and Detroit it's perfect for Nascar lol! But yes good job
I enjoy the rankings videos but I prefer the reaction videos more
Québécois makes more sense than Canadiens does as a name for a team in Montréal, honestly.
Shoutout to the State of HAWKEY on the Minnesota jersey collar
Is it just me or does the Chicago Tribe one look like a soccer Jersey
new england whalers is fantastic

This is insane and awesome
Why does every team have an X on their jersey? Is it the league’s 10th season or something? Does it signify who is captain? Why is there an X on it?
i put an X to represent the unknown... either C, A, or blank.
ok
The DC baseball team back in like the 50s was called the senators. Super shitty name
The California Wild logo looks likenits cross-eyed and I cant unsee it
17:45 yes, his name is Hunter, however, he is a Lynx!
Question: if you liked a nhl team ( which I know everyone seeing this does) would you stick with your name or your city
Ontario Penguins
@@lg24200 ok I like that one
If the KHL can have teams in Beijing and Vladivostok who’s to say the NHL can’t have a team in Alaska? :)
I'm liking the jersey
When are you going to make your mock expansion draft? I would really like to see that
Hey Neil! always pumped for these videos. Would like to try my hand at some concepts myself, but don't wanna pay for photoshop/templates. Is there an alternative method?
Of all the Philadelphia concepts, the freaking made up Philly hockey team is the best one so far 😆
What about the Calgary Cowboys??????
Edmonton Hunters: the Oilers mascot name is Hunter but he's not a Wolf he has more so a Bobcat or a Lynx
Because we live in this universe, the name St. Louis Bruins sounds cursed
Man, I played in an ironman tourney this past weekend and we ended up losing 4-3 to the damn narwhals!
Did the road version video of these jerseys ever come out?
Actually no, thank you for reminding me!
Finally the Motor city got some love.
Neil you put 13 twice for Tpark
Oops
New England Whalers was my fav
should have come up with brand new names.
11:59 you love the Kraken jerseys then... same colour scheme ;)
are you ever going to bring back the “which city am i in” series for the nba and mlb
I thought Ohio was the “Birthplace of Aviation” while North Carolina claims “First in Flight”
Yeah, the Wright brothers were from Dayton, OH but went to Kitty Hawk, NC for their first flight. My guess is it's probably windy in Kitty Hawk to help provide extra lift on the wings.
Classic Logo Style
Does the Adidas branding need to be shown so prominently? That is really the only real problem I have with this set...aside from a couple of jerseys that look more geared to the ECHL or AHL rather than NHL.
Ya got it on 'Hunter', Neil
yeah. i tried to use the stripes as much as i could bcuz it helped with the creative process and i'm a huge fan of the stripes so it was fun for me. but, yes, it was really repetitive. it was just a rule i made for myself to show off the adidas branding.
These are so cool
It’s always a good day when Detroit wins! ❤️🤘🏻
Super sleek eh?
Sea Lions all the way
Sea lions is the best one!
Blackhawks fan here. This may be the worst blackhawks concept I’ve seen in a year on this channel
honestly, i think it was the worst concept from every team
I hate the Dallas stars logo and branding as a whole, but this recolored one has me doubting that position.
Not a fan of flags on the shoulders
Good thing these aren’t real lol
Surprised about number 1.
Do you think the Kraken will take Carey Price?
I hope so
Still us fellow wisconsinites have no NHL team, even in a made-up league with 32 completely new teams, kinda :(
i was actually working on the "Milwaukee Mammoths" but they didn't make the cut along with the "Portland Pirates"... my bad, homie

Can you do goal horns and songs together. I say this because when I watched your goal horns video, I noticed Dallas was 3rd. I like their goal horn, but there really is nothing special with the song. Please do them together.
