Magnus Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Gold. Money. Vegas. That's my opinion. Go with the gold uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 All three options are an improvement over the last jerseys and the originality of the schemes is appreciated. Grey-Blue is obviously the safest option but I think the Brown version is the most successful. Brown, Black and White is such an underused colour scheme and it really works well with your logo set. Looking forward to seeing the final set!Thanks Morgo. I'm convinced now that there needs to be a "brown and something" team in the NHL.Brown looked surprisingly good. The grey-blue just suited the theme a bit more IMO, and, as you say, it was a safer pick.For the color scheme, I think it'd be cool of you integrated colors from above, which are more air force-y. This is from a concept on these boards by BrandMooreArtBrandMooreArtBrandMooreArt has given us some super-nice stuff. He has such good design "sense".The grey-blue option was closest in colour to his above-shown concept. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1clkgtramg Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I like the shoulder stripes better - helps add uniqueness to a basic* colour scheme. And I hate mention Battalion again but what if you use the later Aces script and spade as main logo and use the Air Force logo on the forearm part like the Battalion do?

I'm gonna give that option a try and I'll post it sometime over the weekend. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamiller99 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you were to do Vegas Night, you should totally do all bright colors. Just kidding, kinda. And it'd be cool to have a logo with the nose of a jet painted, a la Houston Aeros. That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 When you see the unis together, I find that the simple ace logo stands out a bit better than the script logo.I also agree with #1 that the shoulder stripes give the sweaters a unique look.So...here's the Las Vegas Aces uniform line-up......along with 2 "Special Event" sweaters (more to come)......Up next..."Ace Vegas- Hockey Hound" mascot... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Once again, amazing. Now, you're at the point where you have so much stuff out there that's spread out among so many threads... it's time for you to do a sort of Yearbook magazine where you collect everything you've done in a cool pdf or online magazine format. Update it as you finish new series. It's too much cool stuff that shouldn't fly under the radar or be buried under a thousand other threads. (I think everyone should do this once they finish a series, but you especially) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Ace Vegas / MascotThere are several aspects from a classic aviation theme that you can draw from for promotional ideas.I like the old mascot graphics that would appear on fighter planes and bombers.Here's a couple of better known ones...The "Flying Tiger" emblem was created by Walt Disney!!"Ace Vegas" (the name kinda wrote itself) wears a classic flight jacket and old-style pilot hat.The long cap flaps become the hound's ears...An "Ace Vegas" logo... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it'd be cool to have a logo with the nose of a jet painted, a la Houston Aeros.I liked this idea mm, and the old Aeros logos was one of my faves.The "shark-nosed" plane idea wasn't part of the original graphics package.But...let's say that the Aces painted up an old P-40 shell or mock-up for display, and "Ace" has a similar P-40 buggy "cart" that he zips around in, on the ice between periods.That idea could also be a second Ace logo... *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1clkgtramg Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 yea now that I think of it, a P-40 logo light be interesting as well. Really cool mascot thought. You never disappoint.

BKarchitect Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I hate to keep waxing poetic because I will get accused of not offering anything in the way of constructive criticism but as great as your logo and uniform concepts are...when you do the mascots and merch and the storybook type illustrations, the work as a whole package goes to a whole different level of awesomeness. Both illustrations of Ace are amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
