PackMan Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Today, I will be taking a break from the ABL so I could redesign the NAHL's Lakeland Jets, who played from 1990-1995 in Lakeland, Michigan. But why this team? My uncle played goalie for 2 seasons on this team before an injury ended his (junior) hockey career. He's still playing hockey, by the way. Primary Logo Secondary/Alternate Logo Logo and Wordmark Home Uniform Road Uniform Alternate/Third Uniform ("Michigan Pride", anybody?) I plan on making a throwback uniform, but I do not have the original logo with me right now. (it's not even on the internet, 90s NAHL/junior hockey stuff can be sought-after) As usual, C&C is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSO94 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 What does the old logo look like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoE38_Concepts Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Looks good to start! Has a minor-league feel to it, which is nice. I would just add some arm stripes. They will help complete the jersey. As for the logos, they're off to a good start, but I think the jet should be in the center of the triangle, but keep the swoosh, and maybe even put Lakeland at the top of the triangle. For the jet, the wings look too chunky right now. They should be a little sleeker. The alternate is fine as is. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Silver/gray pants are not a smart choice, imo. The logos are good, but I'll echo what has been said above and say that the wings are a bit too big. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

DTConcepts Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Better? Wings still seem a little big to me. Streamline them a bit, and just make them thinner. It's definitely an improvement over the last logo, too. The pants are an upgrade, as well. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

Whitefoot Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The jet is still off (especially the nose and tail section). If you take away the word mark, I'd guess it was a rocket or missile of some kind. Do an image search of "top view of a fighter jet" and you will get a better idea on the shape adjustment you need to make. I also suggest centering the jet in the triangle. There is a lot of empty space in the triangle. Maybe thicken the beginning of the red trail, and thin it a little at the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackMan Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Here are some more tweaks (Note: I still can't find the throwback logo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Much, much, much better. I'd remove the name outline on the home, though. It's a little hard to read, especially when pixellated like it is.

PackMan Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 And, we've got yet another tweak: And some throwback stuff: And without further ado, the only photo I have (currently) of an original Lakeland Jets uniform! (My uncle's head is cut out from the photo for privacy reasons) (yeah, for some reason the sleeves are longer...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
