Future NHL Expansion/Relocation

AbeFroman · 04-06-2023, 05:12 PM

As the NHL has recently met with the owner of the Utah Jazz, Atlanta and Houston have been mentioned as future (or once again) NHL cities, Quebec City is begging for a team and The Coyotes future still seems up in the air, for at least another month or so, I was wondering if anyone of you talented uniform and logo creators wanted to give some new NHL life to some rehashes of teams that have played in these cities or new teams that we might see.

I’d love to see an NHL collar on the Utah Grizzlies, Houston Aeros, Quebec Nordiques or anything else you’d like to create.

Thanks in advance to anyone who has some time on this!

I wanted to ping this up to the top as the Tempe vote did not go the Coyotes way and rumors of their relocation running rampant today.

Can anyone create any creative or traditional logos/jerseys for some of the rumored locations for them?

Here's the Aeros jerseys that I use:

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but here is the Quebec Nordiques in the Adidas jersey style.

These are both great! Thank you!

Yotes will be playing in in Arizona at least this season. Considering logistics (schedule, travel, misc) the new location would have to be announced way before July. I can see the Yotes playing in Salt Lake City or Houston next season, though

Exactly my thought process, too. Seems like Ryan Smith, Jazz & Real Salt Lake owner, is trying to get them there.

Would love an updated Utah Grizzlies uniforms or at least their current ECHL or updated IHL with the NHL logo.

Why can't I see the jerseys? Were they removed?

I still see them, perhaps a browser issue?

These look incredible!

Who else do you have/are you working on for a 40 team NHL?

These are so good! Thanks for sharing.

Javs · 10-07-2023, 08:36 PM

Any logos and / or helmets for these?

AbeFroman · 10-09-2023, 11:06 AM

Does anyone have anything for the Utah Grizzlies, or any expansion teams in Portland or San Diego?

Lord PichuPal · 10-25-2023, 05:52 PM

While it wouldn't have the NHL crest, I can at least offer up what I've got for some fictional teams I made for San Diego and Portland. Though the Portland ones I'm pretty sure I borrowed from another person on the forum, so can't take credit for making it. Also including the logo for the Silver Foxes just in case.
