First attempt for hockey kilt

[gilmore]

Ham, many American sports teams have curved stripes like that in their jersey, primarily just to brighten up the jersey. It's quite prevalent in American Football, and Hockey. I believe Keith added them to the kilt to mimic those stripes on the jersey.

Jersey=shirt, BTW

oh, yes of course.

I'll have to watch to... though I'll have to go with the Crimson and Blue of the Avalanche... or maybe some black and gold for the Bruins!

Yes, I'd love to see a bruins kilt!!!

I wonder how hard it would be to get the Bruins logo on the back of a kilt?

hmmm..I smell a project in the works!!

Looks really good, man you guys that do it all yourself just amaze me.

Here is a picture of the jersey that I modeled this kilt after. I do not own a jersey yet, my wife has the old vintage on that you will see in the show us your pictures forum here

Keith,

I have been following your progress in this thread with interest, not because I intend following your example (I know that is WAY beyond me) but because I admire your talent. However, I am intrigued to understand the shaping of the yellow 'flashes'. Is there a particular reason for them to be shaped in that curved manner?

I know nothing about American sport, and very little about British sport, so no doubt I am missing something obvious to every sport-loving American, but perhaps you would kindly put me out of my misery!!

You will see on the jersey that the stripe I used is like the yellow on the arms:

I would recommend that you find out the same way I did. I took two pieces of paper and 'pleated' them, then I took the top sheet off re-pleated it and cut the stripe out, and put the two pieces of paper back together, and checked out how it looked. Anything can be done, but it is going to be the amount of cutting hemming, and sewing you want to do.

Thanks chaps for the explanations. Much appreciated.

HOLY MOLY!

As awesome looking as that would be... that big B would be pretty complicated, especially if done the way possingk has done his.

I say try it... if it turns out... I'm stealing the idea. Imagine me stomping around in downtown Portsmouth, NH, wearing a kilt with a big Bruins logo in the pleats and my Bruins jersey on to boot! As the say in Guinness commercials: BRILLIANT!!

I had briefly considered doing an Avalanche kilt after checking out this thread. But on reflection, I think that that would end up being a nightmare! I know it would certainly :buttkick: me!

Was it Churchill or GB Shaw who described Americans and British as "two peoples separated by a common language?"
