speedy Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 More NHL:Calgary FlamesOttawa SenatorsSt. Louis BluesTampa Bay LightningToronto Maple LeafsWashington CapitalsAlways been a HUGE fan of the Gretzky Era Kings jerseys, but at the same time I love their package right now, minus the purple. The Silver and Black was always so badass, so I mixed the Gretzky Jerseys with the modern logos. And a little side note, I am not a fan at all of the alternate jersey but I couldnt think up another way to work with silver as the primary..C&C as always...EDIT: Changed Number/Name Font. Changed the Alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollux Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I'm wondering how it'd look like with purple instead of black...It's a nice work, although the secondary doesn't pop out enough on the silver alt.

IceCap Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Very nice, almost flawless. I'm not sure about the silver jersey though, if for no other reason then I'm wondering if it would work as a dark jersey.

LucaMaz3 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I think this concept is very solid. I agree that the colors look badass, somewhat like the Raiders...of 1981. (Someone had to sneak in a Raiders joke) A few minor scruples--I would alter the striping to make it look more sleek and metallic, and the same with the font. Also, as mentioned before by pollux, the chest logo on the alternate jersey doesn't stick out nearly enough.I never realized how bad purple was until this moment. A-P.S. If it is not a problem, can you PM me this fabulous template. Thank you very much in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Seems way too plain without the purple. That, and the number font and the font on the primary don't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jOkeR Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Seems way too plain without the purple. That, and the number font and the font on the primary don't work.I agree, I think if you just added small amounts of purple through out the design as accents it would look great.

zer0dotcom Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 good job linking the designs. I've always loved the coat of arms logo and I'm glad to see it incorporated on this design.It is a good set, I was never fond of Black, white and grey as a colour scheme, so I've got some distaste.

Moser316 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Love the gretzky-era colors... not sure about the font, but great work as always ps can u pm me with the template please? JJWAY, how'd you get back in here? Didn't you get banned a while back?Back on topic, usually when I see the words "linking the eras", I expect the worst. This actually works, though. Instead of trying to mix the logos, you simply took the current identity and did it in Gretzky-era colors. Definitely the correct way to link the eras, instead of trying to mix and match logos from different identity packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capn89 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 For some reason I really REALLY like these. I'm not a big fan of the gray jersey, but the colors, design and logo are sweet as hell. I'd love to see the gray one switched to black, but maybe white thin stripes and gray larger stripes. Great work, nevertheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 Striping on the alt isn't grabbing me...both logos embrace curves with sharp angles, perhaps something a little more derivative of them?For the shield logo, I'd like to see the two white panels reversed to black. I think that would add a bit more contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 the only one that i really like is the white/away... not too sure about the silver alts, maybe try a purple alt? afterall, its linking all the eras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinkraider Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 LOVE the home and away - not crazy about the alternate. Very, very sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 It needs purple. It looks like the Raiders started a hockey team. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 It needs purple. It looks like the Raiders started a hockey team.That was the LA Kings intent when they first issued these colors, if im not mistaken, to capitalize on the popularity of the raiders at the time. Same with the font switch in the 80's to the "Lakers Font" to capitalize on the popularity of the Lakers at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see them wear these. I'm not so sure about the alt, usually metallic colours don't make for a good base colour of a jersey.
