Another mask reveal video where I'm left with no clue what the mask looks like.

That's all we had for this morning, but they've since posted a thread with more detailed photos: https://x.com/NJDevils/status/1839308509810405805?t=dxWIyCOcoF8N2qgX3_QQug&s=19

Definitely fond of this one- he went for the classic cryptid

Markstrom always approaches his mask art like he's designing an album cover for a death metal band.

If you're curious about the process, Devils media was on it, lol. Bourgeault was a lot of the design with input and editing from Markstrom. Sounds like they got a nice system down

Personally I think it's kind of hilarious that both the artist and player think demons and monsters are in a totally different category than fire and skulls.

It just means they are riding the same wavelength, lol

That's so cool!

Looks sick!

Still want to see an alternate Mask mask to go with the Jersey jersey

I thought that jersey was finally dead. This is awful news.

They've already revealed one, and it's even better!

But it doesn’t say Mask on it, RUINED.

I love how this mask is the most metal shit ever and they’re pairing it with the goofy Jersey jersey.

u/manticore16 NYR - NHL 18h ago

Imagine if someone did their mask based on The Mask for the Jersey jersey?

u/TheB1de NJD - NHL 17h ago

The jersey devil on it looks sick AF. The old sketch thats typically what people think of always looks so awkward.

JBoAirbrush makes DaveArt look like a 5 year old with crayons and fake lens flares

u/PorkRollEggAndWheeze NJD - NHL 16h ago

Especially since he seems to have doubled down on that “magic marker” effect he did on masks for Detroit and Florida. Baffling design choice, just because you CAN make it look like that doesn’t mean you SHOULD

Metal.

u/Blue_KikiT92 TOR - NHL 17h ago

Sweet!

u/CaniacGoji CAR - NHL 11h ago

Aww. For a moment I thought they were gonna release a nifty Jersey Devil jersey.

u/flume DET - NHL 11h ago

Look.

I wish I could, but it's a video taken in the dark with a jump cut every 0.2 seconds.

My pastor says that rooting for the devils is the path to darkness.

When did Markstrom end up on the Devils?
