siegel0572 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 When looking at the jerseys I noticed that most countries have a crest or a logo of some type. The one pet peeve I've had about Team USA's look is that they have always had just USA across their chest. So I decided to give them a new look with an actual logo. To me the most obvious choice was the bald eagle and the flag so I ran with it. I also used the Nike template that the IIHF currently uses. C & C are appreciated.

BigBubba Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I like the "hidden" star. The home looks nice, but I'm not loving the road one. I'd like to see "USA" somewhere on the front, because you wouldn't be able to tell who was playing if it was on TV. It would be nice to see stars on the shoulder patch. I don't love it, but you've got the basis of something very solid. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 One suggestion: slant the sleeve stripes in the opposite direction, or make them flat lines. That sleeve/shoulder area looks mighty crowded. Otherwise, very nice. I agree that I'd like to see a USA slapped on there somewhere, but it works. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend.

BigBubba Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'd like to see the eagle head (just the head) as the shoulder patch. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untvar Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 My two cents...logo, greatjersey, greatshoulder patches, much too muchname plates, don't really work there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The white yoke on the jersey, throws off the balance of the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siegel0572 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. So here is an update. I changed the arm stripes from angled to straight, and changed the shoulder patch(which was the one part of the original I was not totally sold on) to a single star. I also changed the road from the logo to USA. I decided to keep the nameplates the same as a tribute to the 1980 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

I lovem bold but not too crazy, very nice, i like the plates mainly b/c its as tribute to the 80s team as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north dakota Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I like USA's current logo a lot better than the iStockPhoto logo. Woah! You think I'm Cody? My name is Carl Scott Simone and we just happen to share a birthday. BIG DEAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Is it just me, or is plagiarism in the Concepts forum at an all-time high? Between that, stupid joke concepts, blatant trolling, fill-tool extravaganzas, and decidedly-unconstrictive criticism, Concepts is at an all-time low.
