Frylock Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Hey all!First post on the new board. While I like the FanHone/Insiders board, I think this one will be better. The "exclusivity" might cut down on the useless polls and mega-league posts if you know what I mean, and I think you do. :laugh: Anyhow, just a repost from the other board. I don't know if anyone has any interest or cares about this, seeing as how I've gotten no feedback, but I'm going to continue on with this at least for my own enjoyment.As I had mentioned before, I've been working on some WHA jersey concepts. I approached the project as if the WHA never folded, and the mindset was that there was no "tradition" in the jerseys, like you would find in the NHL. Additionally, I thought that CCM/Koho wouldn't supply the jerseys, and SP would. Not that it really matters, but I like the little details like that... So with that being said, some of my concepts might seem a little "out there."So far, I've put together concepts for the following teams:Baltimore Blades -- Home, Road, AltBirmingham Bulls -- Home, RoadCalgary Cowboys -- Home, RoadChicago Cougars -- Home, RoadCincinnati Stingers -- Home, Road, AltCleveland Crusaders -- Home, Road, AltDenver Spurs -- Home, RoadEdmonton Oilers -- Home, RoadFlorida Breakers* -- Home, RoadHouston Aeros -- Home, Road, AltIndianapolis Racers -- Home, RoadLos Angeles Aces* -- HomeLos Angeles Sharks -- Home, Road, Alt Miami Screaming Eagles -- Home, Road, AltMichigan Stags -- Home, RoadMinnesota Fighting Saints -- Home, Road, Alt New England Whalers -- Home, RoadNew Jersey Knights -- Home, RoadNew York Golden Blades -- Home, RoadNew York Raiders -- Home, RoadOttawa Nationals -- Home, RoadPhoenix Roadrunners -- Home, RoadQuebec Nordiques -- Home, Road, AltSan Diego Mariners -- Home, Road, AltSan Francisco Sharks* -- Home Vancouver Blazers -- Home, RoadWinnipeg Jets -- Home, Road, AltWHA All-Stars -- Home, Road* -- Rumoured, but never playedI'd love to hear feedback -- Any questions, comments, quibbles or criticism is always appreciated! If there's any interest in seeing some of my other WHA concepts, feel free to let me know.As always, thanks to Roger Clemente and STL Fanatic for the template, Roger Clemente, Snowcap and myself for the resources, HockeyDB, LogoServer, Eriq Jaffe and The SLE for the WHA team and league logos, and the SP company for the SP logo.

Roger Clemente Posted November 30, 2002 Share Posted November 30, 2002 Those Bulls jerseys rule!!! The upside-down Senators swoop works wonders with it.The Blazers are equally as impressive, but not as cool looking.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. Follow me on Twitter if you care: @Animal_Clans.My opinion may or may not be the same as yours. The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frylock Posted December 1, 2002 Author Share Posted December 1, 2002 NYMets920 -- Oops! My bad! Got the link fixed now... Thanks! :cool: Roger Clemente -- Thanks for the feedback! It's nice to know someone has looked at these!Glad you like the Bulls jerseys. Perhaps you noticed it, but the upside down Sens swoosh is supposed to represent a bulls horn. I dunno... Maybe it's obvious... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 I hadn't seen the bull's horn in the swoosh, maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention. Now that I do, that's pretty sweet.

Frylock Posted December 3, 2002 Author Share Posted December 3, 2002 YzerFan19 -- Thanks for the feedback! It's much appreciated!Also wanted to bump this, as I've posted my Michigan Stags concepts. Not as wild as the Bulls or Blazers jerseys, but I'll let you guys be the judges.As always, thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted December 3, 2002 Share Posted December 3, 2002 Hey cool work, the Blazers one is a little too wild for me... but then again it is the WHAI actually own a Michigan Stags jersey... I think I prefer yours to it --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 Chris -- Thanks for the feedback! Glad you like the Stags jerseys. Definitely a different approach compared to the real jerseys they wore. I had a feeling the Blazers jersey might be a bit out there (not as much as that Bulls jersey) but like you said, this is the WHA. I really wanted to just go crazy with different ideas.Of course, that being said, the Cincinnati Stingers jerseys (which I have just posted) do have a more conventional look to them. IMO, they could double as potential Boston Bruins jerseys. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 Frylock's WHA Jersey Concept World Tour CONTINUES!!!This time, I've posted jerseys for the Denver Spurs and Los Angeles Sharks. I've kind of altered the colors for the Spurs, trying to give it more of a western feel.Feedback is always welcomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notch Novelty Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I love thoses jersey. Very creative. I was wondering if I could use thoses for my new tribute site for WHA. Would you also like to design their actually jerseys for league? Credit would be given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 Hello Cleveland! Rock and Roll!That's right, I've posted my Cleveland Crusaders concepts. IMO, I think the home and road jerseys are pretty sharp, but the alt... I'm not sure. But I guess I figured, what the hell. Afterall, my criteria was that there was no tradition to be bound by. Enjoy, won't we? :: notoriousap -- Thank you for the feedack! If you'd like to use those for your upcoming site, go right ahead. All I ask is you give me credit. As for recreating the actual jerseys, I won't be able to as I don't have all the resources to do it. Sounds cool, though! Perhaps someone else might want to do it?Be sure to let us know when your site is up and running! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc51design Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Those jerseys are great, I rarely see any good concepts on this board, but I like what you did. Crusaders is the best, with the sword on the sleeve, awesome. lockerroom51 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted December 26, 2002 Author Share Posted December 26, 2002 Houston, you're on the air...Here we go with another WHA concept. This time, the Houston Aeros. I've resisted doing anything with the Aeros because that simple "AEROS" down the front is synonymous (sp?) with Gordie Howe as an Aero. Furthermore, I really couldn't come up with anything really creative for them. But the jerseys have been posted. As for the Alt jersey, it's inspired by the Aeros first set of jerseys used in the 1972/73 season only. Check out Drop the Pucks for pics of a 1972/73 road jersey.SharkHatesBrown -- Sorry bro! It really happened! In fact, when Doug Wilson was introduced during the Skills Challenge at the 1992 All-Star Game in Philly, he was referred to as a member of the Los Angeles Sharks! :laugh: Shark and kc51design -- Thank you for the compliments on the Crusaders jerseys! I thought the sword would be a cool touch. I really wanted something to play off of the logo, and it sure wasn't going to be anything horse related. I didn't want another Flames jersey fiasco... :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 yeah I know the LA Sharks really did exist. Makes my stomach turn just thinking about that :angry: would any potential NHL team in Houston be allowed to take the Aeros name? that name just seems synonymous with hockey in Houston US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL FANATIC Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 I love the Home and Road for the Aeros, but I'm not a big fan of that Alternate. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJR Posted December 27, 2002 Share Posted December 27, 2002 would any potential NHL team in Houston be allowed to take the Aeros name? that name just seems synonymous with hockey in HoustonThey'd have to buy it from the AHL's Houston Aeros (who would have to move once the NHL moved in to Houston) FantasyHockeySim.com || DetroitHockey.Net || DetroitHockey.Net FHL || cjr.dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted December 28, 2002 Author Share Posted December 28, 2002 As always, thanks for the feedback, guys!As for the name "Houston Aeros", I believe YzerFan is correct. One thing I forgot to mention is that I absolutely love the AHL/IHL Aeros jerseys. They have done great justice to the heritage of the Houston Aeros name. That's one reason why I was reluctant to do these jerseys.STL -- Glad you like the H/R jerseys! Is there anything particular you don't like about the Alt? Is it the SJ/Philly style? I admit it doesn't look great, but I was trying to go for the essence of the original jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frylock Posted December 30, 2002 Author Share Posted December 30, 2002 Another set has been posted... This time, the Ottawa Nationals. I altered the logo a bit, just to be different. The striping on the jersey was inspired by the original Nationals jersey, but obviously isn't exact.Enjoy!--Edit-- I just checked the images, and they look like crap. I need to resave them with less compression. I wasn't thinking clearly when I converted the images from .bmp to .jpg. I hope to have them fixed by the end of the day.

STL FANATIC Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 I don't like all the striping on the alt. Add something to the sleeves maybe.As for Ottawa, seeing these first images I am not a huge fan. I don't like the double striping thing.
