These ‘Sockey’ (Soccer/Ice Hockey) Kits Need To Exist…
By Chris Wright
Granted, we know next to nothing about the NHL/Ice Hockey, in fact, we haven’t watched any since Charlie Conway was earmarked as the next big thing back in the early ’90s – but, nevertheless, these ‘ere ‘Sockey’ kits get our seal of approval.
Some dilligent (presumably otherwise unemployed) soul has been busy, beavering away at producing these fantasy Sockey strips – i.e, all the vast, sail-like NHL hockey strips reimagined as lovely, sleek football shirts…
These need to exist – put Pies down for a Maples Leafs home, a Boston Bruins away and a Mighty Ducks home for Coach Bombay’s sake.
Thanks to Pies fan Clara for the nudge.

Wow… As an American hockey fan, I gotta say some of these are very, very good. Its saying something that this is the first thing about the Devils I’ve liked in years (I’m from NYC-think Manchester-Leeds as local dislike goes). Also, I like the rugby feel of some of these shirts (Montreal away, Dallas away)
Where’s the Philadelphia Flyers?
As someone from Ohio, I have to say that the Blue Jackets away shirt makes me want to sex.
Love the Montreal Hab’s jersey. It gives a homage to the old “barbershop” jerseys from long time ago. Toronto jersey is sweet!!
Nice unis. Best news all summer: Cesc is gone! The Mail and Twitter are blowing up
Ha! Flyers get no love…must’ve had a bad experience in Philly
hahahah as an avid nhl fan, i have to say this isn’t a bad concept originally, but it just doesn’t work out… gotta say this is ridiculous
As a huge Bruins fan I think the bruins shirt would have been a lot better if it had an arsenal type deal with a black shirt with gold sleeves. Other than that these are class. Cheers to whoever made these!
There needs to be a whalers kit
@ Dan, you can’t love both montreal AND toronto jerseys
it’s like being a fan of real madrid AND barca
Just trying to be neutral in opinion. On the ice the Leaf Bastards can BURN!!!
no Sharks ? :(
Wow! These are awesome! Would love to see a Vancouver Canucks one!
Leafs jersey classiest as usual:)
The folks at Reebok designing the real football kits should take a look at some of these!
Just noticed the stars on the jerseys to commemorate Stanley Cup victories. Nice attention to detail.
As a Sabres fans, I’d buy the white one. Alot of these look good.
It’s kinda scary that a few of these mockups looks better then actual premier league teams’ shirts :(
yeah vancouver canucks!!!
I would easily buy the flames and the wild ones, however I own a couple of russian league shirt which are basically long sleaved football shirts
Make a Pittsburgh Penguins one
I know more about the ice-hockey than you know about football. Actually I know more about any other sport..
the red wings kit is so simple, love it.
