New Store Now Open @ Skreened

Caza Creations is pleased to announce the opening of a new POD store at Skreened. Based in Columbus , Ohio, the company has been in operation since 2006. Skreened boasts an impressive array of quality and ethics. From their organic t-shirts, their promotion of no sweatshop labor, their charity program, to earth-friendly practises, Skreened uses only American Apparel which is all made in the U.S.A. The company even ships out its orders in biodegradable packages. Read an interview with Skreened co-founder Daniel Fox as he talks about what he is striving for and what makes his POD service different from the others. Gift cards are also available.

Since the store is only a couple of days old, naturally I haven't had time to stock it full yet. To start off, I have added 3 designs to the shop and will add more in the near future as time permits.

One thing you'll notice with the products in Skreened is they have a much larger print area than most other PODs. This allows the design to cover the front and back from top to bottom if you wish. You can see it the examples I have provided from my store.

This Student inmate shirt is sure to be a favorite among schoolkids. Most kids think being in school is like doing hard time. Why not dress for the part in these old-fashioned, black and white prisoner's stripes. Don't worry students, you get paroled after four years of good behaviour. It's called graduation!

This grocery tote bag or all purpose bag has a nice whimsical design with bright colours and cheerful composition. With the heart-shaped foliage, it's the summer of love and in the summertime, who doesn't love watermelon?

Skreened describes this tote bag on their site as the following:
Our cute, all-purpose natural cotton tote bag made from 100% bull denim. Smooth, both texturally and stylistically with a double handle.
NOTE: Dimensions: 15" X 13" X 3-1/2" (38cm X 33xm X 9cm)

If you're on the prisoner's softball team, what better name for your club than the Slammers. For those unaware, slammer is another way of saying home run ans also jail or prison. So you see, you'll have all the bases covered with this baseball uniform. You don't even have to be on the prisoner's team to own one. Get some for your neighborhood beer league team. You will be the big, bad Slammers on the field.
If you would like custom uniform numbers, please message me.

Quebec Nordiques' Old/New Logo

To the left is the logo of the Quebec Nordiques when that city was part of the National Hockey League. Nordiques is a French word which translates into English as "Northerners"or "from the north". At the time Quebec was the northern most city in the NHL.The logo was a lower case red letter "n" outlined in blue with a red hockey stick to its right and a blue hockey puck above that. Paying tribute to the north theme, the "n" and the hockey stick combined to form the profile of an igloo, with the blade of the hockey stick forming the opening of the igloo.

From 1979-80 to 1994-95, this was the only logo ever used by the Nordiques during its NHL stay before the franchise was sold and moved to Colorado, becoming the Avalanche. However, had the team not moved and stayed in Quebec, what a lot of people don't know is that the Nordiques were all set to take to the ice in '95-'96, in a completely new uniform design, including color scheme and logo. To the right is the logo that would have adorned their jerseys for the next season, had there been one. It appears to be a snarling wolf's head emerging from a blue triangle with the name Nordiques across the bottom. The letter "I" is in the shape of an icicle. Overall, the predominant colours of the logo are blue and grey, giving it a frosty mood.. This logo has a more harsh and cold look to it with all its angles and jagged points.

The new uniforms, with the new logo would have looked like this:
White Jersey
Blue Jersey

When the Nordiques moved to Colorado in 1996, The Avalanche went with their own logo and colour scheme, thus the new Nordiques' jerseys were never needed and never manufactured, existing only on the drawing board and never to be seen by the hockey-going public.

In a way, I am glad the Nordiques moved to Colorado. That is not to say I wanted the team to move. The Nordiques were part of , in my opinion, one of the greatest sports rivalries in history. Games between the Nordiques and the Montreal Canadiens are legendary. So this was a huge loss, I think. However, looking at that new logo and uniform, I can't warm up to them and prefer the originals a lot more. They're a little more creative and fun in my opinion and I'm glad the Nordiques never got the chance to use the new ones.
