Company of Heroes 2 is an upcoming release that I am highly anticipating, having enjoyed the first game these past several years (you should grab it, even if it’s just to play the campaign over a weekend). I thought I’d put together a couple of designs for the game.

The green one is the U.S./Allied design that is more symbolic of the first game, as COH2 will mostly focus on the eastern front battle between the Soviets and Germans. The red Soviet design is a homage to the actual jerseys worn by the Soviet teams in international play, I just added the gold sickle/hammer and star of the Soviet flag. And I’m not going to open a can of worms and attempt a German WWII design!

Just want to say I had the pleasure of working at Relic Entertainment a few years back, and it’s a world-class place to work. I’m very happy they got picked up by SEGA, and look forward to playing all their releases for years to come.

The Royals jerseys are done! The Boston Bruins-inspired jerseys made for House Baratheon fans will be shipping out next week for those who ordered. Miss out? You can sign up here to be notified the next time it becomes available.

Awesome work again by Geeky Jerseys. You can see why they’re becoming such a popular hockey team outfitter these days.

This will compliment the recent Direwolves jerseys nicely. If you’re interested the Lannister jersey is currently available, and Targaryen will be offered in the next few months. A Night’s Watch 2.0 jersey is also on the docket. Stannis Baratheon and Greyjoy fans I hear you, please bear with me.

If it were feasible I’d offer all houses at once, but Geeky Jerseys are super-busy these days, plus I think it’s better to space them out to avoid wallet fatigue.

This was commissioned by Mark C. for his DIY project: a replica of the Detroit Red Wings jersey seen in the film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. It was a fun and quick design project, and I’m allowed to share it here with you.

After the jump a lot of boring analysis of the Red Wings jersey seen in the film.

Several oddities about this film version of the classic Red Wings jersey: the logo is tilted about 30 degrees and sits really high and off-center. The logo also had a different tire that was more white. There is a white collar on this red jersey, something that’s never happened in team history (it’s always red on a red jersey).  The stripes are noticeably thicker. The waist stripe sits pretty high, at least compared to the mid-80′s era jerseys (the only time in team history it didn’t sit on the very bottom of the jersey).

I could be wrong about the stripe thickness, because the actor who played Cameron is a tall and skinny guy, which is totally messing with my Spidey-senses. Regular stripes on a thinner frame look misleadingly thicker in my opinion.

Have to give props to the film’s wardrobe department for using this jersey and going with Mr. Hockey for the name and number. Just a beautiful sweater.

No plans to offer this jersey, and it appears there are no jerseys like this available either. The Red Wings should look into offering this variant for geeks and film fans!

Both Skyrim and Fallout are often requested by fans of the acclaimed Bethesda games, so I am happy to deliver a Skyrim jersey design today (Fallout will be done sometime down the road). As part of my ongoing attempts to corrupt every NHL team, the Chicago Blackhawks are given a geeky makeover today.

However the Blackhawks weren’t my first choice, I wanted to use the Ottawa Senators because of the forward-facing Centurion in their logo, but I used that for a Marvin the Martian design recently. That said the ‘Hawks double tomahawk shoulder patch figured in nicely here.

The Skyrim logo is too skinny/tall to be a primary logo, in case you’re wondering why I didn’t run with that. It was my original intention when I started on this design several months ago.

Also this would look a lot better if metallic embroidery was used. Would really make the helmet and axes pop.

Usually I don’t commit to RPG’s because of the time they require, but I made an exception for Fallout 3 a few years back. I was floored by the game, but it kept crashing despite it being the very first thing I installed on a new computer. As a result I quit the game and then skipped Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim, fearing the same experience. Admittedly I really feel like I am missing out on Skyrim. Maybe one day.

No plans to make this available.

The Spaceballs design is finally done, and they’ll be shipping out this week for those who ordered. Miss out? Sign up here if you want to be notified for an encore run. The more people who sign up, the greater the odds it will be offered again.

Great job by Geeky Jerseys again! Can’t wait to get my LONESTAR jersey.

You’ll have to forgive the plainness of the design. I posted it on Facebook for a laugh, and it got an incredible reception, so I left it as-is. Plus I feel the generic design is appropriate to the joke; it really does look like a throwaway piece of merchandise that would belong in Yogurt’s subterranean store.

Stargate has been a frequently requested item, so I am thrilled to finally deliver this for you guys. I am a fan of the shows (I’ve yet to watch Universe), just haven’t gotten around to these before because I wasn’t really enamored with the logos or uniforms employed in the shows — please don’t hate!

That said I am glad Atlantis changed their uniforms in later seasons, because they started out with this bra/vest thing. Also the newer uniforms had stripes on the forearms, which are perfect for hockey jerseys.

For SG-1 I went with their ‘away mission’ green fatigues and black flak jacket look. Though it could easily be an all-black look, but that is not as appealing.

Now I’ll take this moment to say how much it sucks that there are no Stargate or Star Trek shows on TV.  I take back all the times I said there was too much of both.

Not really a fan of hockey jerseys with the number prominently featured on the front of the jersey (like the current Dallas Stars jerseys, which are about to be retired), but for a Quidditch-themed hockey jersey I’ll make an exception.

Besides adding numbers to the sleeves, the only other major change was removing the hoodie pocket outline from the lower front of the jersey.

Rival house Slytherin gets a similar design. Seems all the Quidditch teams share a basic logo and jersey template, which is a shame  because I hoped for more unique identities.

Here is an alternate look with the crests enlarged:

I believe any of these would look sharp on a hockey or lacrosse team. Heck, any geek in general really.

Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw will eventually get designs, stay tuned for those.

I had a whole bunch of Star Trek hockey jersey designs on my other blog from a few years back, but a I did a housecleaning recently and those designs were deleted. So I cobbled together this new batch of designs for your viewing pleasure.

I’m sure even the most casual geek can identify all the uniforms and which era they belong to, and that’s because the Starfleet uniform is so iconic.

Perhaps too iconic, because I tried to enlarge the badges and make them into standard hockey jersey logos, but it looked really weird (take my word for it). The beauty of the badge design is in its simplicity; it telegraphs really well — even in its small default size.

If I had to choose one it would be the TNG movie design (top left), because it looks pretty sharp, almost military-like in my opinion. Also it would be very ideal for a hockey team, because the color accents (red, blue, and gold) could vary throughout the entire roster and it wouldn’t look distracting, due to the black and grey being the primary colors.

Thanks to Geeky Jerseys’s sublimation process, the detailed pattern of the J.J. Abrams era uniforms (top right) can be replicated (pun intended). However at this time there are no plans to offer any of these designs (sorry).

UPDATE: A bonus Wesley Crusher design:

SECOND UPDATE: Added a Voyager style for a die-hard Janeway fan. I didn’t make one initially because I thought it was too plain, apologies to Voyager fans! Enterprise fans maybe one day down the road!

Remember that Art Instructor that always praised Marge Simpson’s* artwork in that one episode of The Simpsons? I feel like I am doing that whenever I speak of Geeky Jerseys. Amazing work! Fabulous!!

All jokes aside the hardworking team at Geeky Jerseys continue to impress me. This jersey was definitely worth the wait (it’s a few weeks behind because they are inundated with hockey team orders over there), and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

For those who ordered they’ll be hitting the mail sometime in the next seven to nine days (tracking numbers will be sent out). Did you miss out? You can sign up to be notified when it is released again here.

The Royals (Baratheon) and Spaceballs jerseys will be completed very soon. Sorry they’re a little behind schedule. You can’t rush custom quality.

If you like the logo you can grab a T-shirt from 80′s Tees.

*He also complimented a custodian painting a handrail for a set of stairs.

Cthulhu was frequently requested, unfortunately I am not really versed in Lovecraftian lore. So I did a mashup with something I do know, Batman. Besides the logo the jersey features an ornate pattern embedded in the black stripes. Can’t think of any secondary logos for this one yet.

Next up is a Clerks-themed hockey jersey, decked out with many familiar sponsors. My ongoing quest to geekify every NHL team continues! This time the Edmonton Oilers are enlisted, seeing as Kevin Smith wears their colors for his SMODCO jerseys.

Lastly a jersey based on the protagonist from the second Dead Rising game, Chuck Greene. His leather jacket features a sporty design and the number 4, making it ideal for a hockey jersey.

I’m going to ask Kevin Smith if he’ll permit a run of the Clerks design, so there’s a slim chance of it being offered. Cthulhu might be offered if there is enough interest. Dead Rising  probably won’t be offered.
