oldschoolvikings Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've never posted a hockey concept before. I just recently got a template together, so I thought I'd try it out. I had a lot of fun making it. Thoughts? http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp274/wingdog2000/litning_zpsbz6brzom.png 2 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyersfan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 It's so simple, yet it works. I like it. Maybe a grey alt or switch the white jersey colors around as an alt? I dont know what to say for c and c you pretty much hit the nail on the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I already like it more than what they wear now. My only suggestion is to make blue dominant over the silver/grey on the road iteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportzfan Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 the logo needs a little bit of cleaning up (just pixilated a little bit), but outside of that this is a great concept, blue and grey is much better than blue and black for the lightning, and infinitely better than blue and white of the current tampa bay maple wings.

habsfan1 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The double-shaded bolt isn't bad. It could work better in different colors, but this is a good first concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplashBoogie Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I see this and all I see are the Detroit Lions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_grateful_ted Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I like this color scheme alot more than the one they use now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTopper Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Reminiscent of old Detroit Lions colors, but that is certainly not a negative. I like this look much better than their current one! Like Morgo said, I'd make blue the dominant colors on the away uniform. That's really my only complaint. Good work! Quote ☦ICXC NIKA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 This works better as a Detroit Lions cross over concept. The addition of black would help this concept. Quote Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 This works better as a Detroit Lions cross over concept. The addition of black would help this concept. Weird that the Lions connection seems so obvious to everyone. I honestly didn't think about it until it was mentioned (although I see pretty clearly what you all mean). My first thought about a Lightning concepts was, no black. Blue plus black (except maybe a true sky blue) is an awful color scheme IMO. If I had the keys to the Lions' uniform, step one would be to flush that useless black trim out of there.

billc52865 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Pants need a lightning bolt on each side. Number font needs to match what the Lightning currently wear. Road jersey needs less gray. (This isn't MLB.) Needs shoulder logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 you need some white in the collar of the blues, a lightning bolt on the pants (people loved that feature so much that they demanded it came back for the current unis, and the team actually listened), and that's really it. I really like it, it looks unique for the NHL, and makes that logo pop a whole lot more. Nice work. Quote I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

SCalderwood Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I like this better than what they use now. I think a silver or gray alternate could look great.I wouldn't add black, but I would consider adding maybe a little bit of yellow. I think that could add a little color and brightness to the look, without over doing it, and it would actually be a color that makes sense for their identity.Also, I see what people are saying about the Detroit Lions comparison, but so what? Aren't they just blue and white now? Do people complain about them looking too much like the Maple Leafs now? And they are actually in the NHL.

oldschoolvikings Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Pants need a lightning bolt on each side. Number font needs to match what the Lightning currently wear. Road jersey needs less gray. (This isn't MLB.)Needs shoulder logos.I thought about the lightning bolt on the pants, but since I was going with more traditional striping every where else, I wanted the pants to work the same. In my mind, you either run with the lightning bolt motif throughout or keep it limited to the logo.I see no reason to match the Lightnings' current plain block font, especially with the cluttered split outline.As for the road needing less gray? Nah, I like it this way... my favorite part, actually.Shoulder logos? OK, yeah. Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyersfan Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I dislike the logo but the uniform is very good. Except I think you should make the neon color more true red (maybe I'm just colorblind) and tone down the shorts color imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
