NHL PROTOTYPES 5: The Lost and Found

Bring on another batch of unused NHL logo and jersey designs!
In Part 5 of NHL Prototypes, we make some fun finds on eBay before digging into more designer portfolios to with dozens of examples of unused and rarely seen jersey and logos designs-commissioned and rejected by the NHL.
See a pair of black third jerseys for the Minnesota Wild and an alternate version of the Detroit Red Wings’ 2009 Winter Classic sweater. Check out some crazy ideas from the first Stadium Series. And get a load of some logos for All-Star Games that were canceled. This is a jam-packed episode!
