This summer, Adidas released the new NHL jerseys that teams will be rocking for the 2017-18 season. Some fans perceived the revisions well, while others haven't been as fond of them.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill unveiled the @predsnhl's new Adidas road uniform tonight. Thoughts? . More at BarDown.com (📸: Nashville Predators/Twitter)

Dylan Nowak, an artist who specializes in sports graphics and logos, shared his own concepts of a few jerseys in the NHL, and they’re actually pretty slick. In fact, you might even find that some of them are nicer than the original jerseys that teams will be wearing in the upcoming season. Take a look.

Another concept today. *Would like to say I do not do requests. Simply because if I try and force a concept it usually doesn't look as good and I'm not as proud of it. Concepts I do are usually tweaks of past ones I've done or if I have a random idea one day. Sorry in advance.* . . . #sportsdesign #hockeyswag #hockey #hockeyjersey #hockeyjerseyconcepts #hockeyjerseys #jersey #nhl #nhlconcept #pens #pit #nhlpens

Concept for #Detroit next. Inspired by their Winter Classic design and mixed some other unique and traditional elements in there. Tough working with original six. I think it's a success though. #redwings #lgrw . . . #hockeyswag #hockey #hockeyjersey #hockeyjerseyconcepts #uniswag #sportsdesign #sportsswag

#CBJ concept. Hybrid of traditional striping and military sleeve badge. Closer look at the detail. Had a lot of fun making this one! . . . #hockey #hockeyswag #hockeyjersey #hockeyjerseyconcepts #uniswag #bluejackets #columbus

A gold jersey design I think the Sabres could pull off well. Classic style, inspired by 40th jersey. Would compliment the future royal home and away nicely. #sabres #hockeyswag #hockeyjersey #hockeyjerseyconcepts #uniswag

#FormTheFuture Leaked Nashville jerseys. Just kidding. Just doing something a little unique.

Pretty impressive stuff.

While the Penguins' and Red Wings' are classics that should remain untouched, some of the other concepts would look great in the league. The Columbus and Nashville ideas particularly stand out with their unique new jersey patterns.

Nowak’s work is not constricted to hockey, as he has also played around with a football idea.

Going to get a lot more in depth in the coming weeks with this concept, but just wanted to start playing around! #BillsMafia #gobills #billsmafia

After taking a look at the different sweaters, do you prefer them over some of the ones around today?
