Ti-Nick Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hello everyone. This is my first post. As a way to learn vector drawing, I’ve decided to do my ideal NHL. As you’ll see, I like traditional, old-school jersey designs, with more color and less black than in the current NHL. More like the NHL of the 80’s. The simpler the better. Some jerseys are pretty much the same as the current ones, some others are influenced by great concept artists I’ve found here. And with other sets I’ve just tinkered a bit with the stripes and the logos. These are my first concepts ever. You’ll probably think they’re too simple and not very creative, but as I said it’s just a way for me to learn how to use vector graphics. I might do third jerseys after all the primary sets are done, and by then I might be more experienced and able to do more creative designs. Thank you for looking at this stuff. C&C welcome!

Crabcake Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 In general, I've been more partial to the ducks' black, gold, and orange look instead of the eggplant and jade.I want the ducks to trot out in those tonight.Btw love that flames set too. Great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmoe12 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Welcome to the boards, and a great start to your series!Ducks-Love the bringing back of the eggplant and jade, but the shoulder logo just looks off. The yellow isn't used anywhere else except the sticks in the primary. Not sure what could be done to fix that thoughCoyotes-This is a huge improvement over the bland mess they've been wearing. The only thing I'd change would be to add some more of that pattern you have on the collars into the rest of the uniform.Flames-Looks really good, but I'd brighten the red just a bitOilers-Not much of a change, but it still looks really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 The sharks concept is good but could use a little more orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoe12 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Kings-I love the current font they use, so I would suggest using that. I'm also not sure if silver and white would provide enough contrastSharks- Like Crabcake said, I feel it needs one more color, whether that's orange or silver or whatever elseCanucks- My favorite of your series so far, but I would get rid of the blue sleeves on the away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsherald Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I like the lack of black for Calgary, and I love seeing McDavid's name on the Oilers jersey! While I prefer your Kings design to their current one, the silver crown will be lost against the silver jersey, and I don't know if a silver home jersey will be enough of a contrast against a visiting team in white. Use the rules of heraldry for more effective sports logos! i.e. keep it simple, use good contrast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YelichGraphics Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 -ducks are great-Arizona's collar is weird but they look good, the home could use some white-oilers good-the colors look weird on the Kings, just change them a little bit find a good look, and consistentcy-sharks need another color, wether your for the Orange or grey or whatever, you can always use a lighter teal-couver is goodGood work, it's just the little details that need work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackerFan98 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I like the Flames. Yellow looks good.The foot logo on the Ducks. Isn't that the Quad City Mallards logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ti-Nick Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 something about that flames yellow looks weird...I tried with the original colors, but thought it was much better this way. A bit more modern in my opinion, and a good contrast with the slightly darker red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's great, and perfect for the Ducks. I'm not a fan of roundel shoulder patches with tiny text that nobody can read on the ice. I much prefer simpler logos, like this duck foot, the Weagle or Chicago's tomahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's too wide. I much prefer block fonts, even if it's a bit plain.For the Canucks, I'll try without the blue cuffs. But I think it might make the jersey too white... I'll see.Really liking Calgary, LA and San Jose!Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I hate that they use black. I think white, if used enough on the jersey, makes it look more "fiery". For the Kings, you might be right. I'll try to darken the grey to see if it's better. -ducks are great-Arizona's collar is weird but they look good, the home could use some white-oilers good-the colors look weird on the Kings, just change them a little bit find a good look, and consistentcy-sharks need another color, wether your for the Orange or grey or whatever, you can always use a lighter teal-couver is goodGood work, it's just the little details that need workThanks for the C&C.Which color looks weird for the Kings? The grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
