First half of this is me exactly as well. At first I did not like the blue at all. But, I also didn’t see it a ton. That same post got me thinking, it was the inception point. Having followed the Avs for the playoffs I got used to it, and then honestly making their uniforms for EA NHL04 mods really brought me to embrace it. Even the road, which I at first hated how there was no blue on the jersey. So I made both, and I just looked at it so much that I felt the jersey lost some of that updated feeling with the single stripe. Looking at the road as a whole now, with the blue equipment and blue numbers, it works fine for me. i do agree on the point that the silver needs to be a little brighter. I think the fact I could adjust that for the game helped my transition a lot.
-
Here's another idea. More directly inspired by the Colorado flag.
-
I know this isn't anything groundbreaking but here is another uniform. Call it a jump from their other Stadium Series or a variation of their current alternate. After this i might do one more, I want to make a blue uniform for them that works, so we'll see. I think I've finally come over to the 'Blue Side' of the Avalanche debate, so these are just all bouncing in my brain.
-
Yes. At first I thought the silver was enough to make it stand out but guess not. I’d change it to blue, just haven’t yet
-
Here's another option, which frankly I do like better than the last. This is an update to the Avalanche's original alternate jersey to fit the new updated branding with more blue, new font for the "COLORADO" and numbers of course. ORIGINAL: UPDATE:
-
Thought about it some more and if the burgundy doesn't work out, here's blue.
-
I could have sworn I've seen something like this before, but couldn't find it. Basically reworking the Stadium Series uniform a bit. Changed to burgundy equipment.
-
This is awesome. The black alternate is really nice, but honestly my favorite are the edge unis. Your evolution makes perfect sense though for each era, although I wonder if a total rebrand would have come instead of going stealth.
-
I was kind of indifferent to it but watching the game it does look really good.
-
i'm in a weird transitional state where i'm starting to recognize the black gear doesn't fit with the Adidas version of the Avs as much as the original, but also still not 100% on board with the blue. I'm seeking help and soon i will make it.
-
Alright, this might be my last entry in this unpopular topic, but it's the last team that jumped out at me for a possible connection with this template. I give you the Washington Capitals in a different terrible edge template:
-
I get that. I'm just playing with it. If used in certain ways it isn't as bad I guess. To me it can be a cool, modern design utilizing the underside of the arms in a way no one does. For sure OTT and PIT did it no favors, let alone the fact that 3 teams used the same template in the first place. I wonder if Tampa was the only team to use it if it would have gotten the same level of hate. I had the same thought this morning on the Jet stripe, so maybe i'll swap it.
-
Next up is Colorado, with two options to continue the blue vs burgundy conversation.
-
I don't know how I fell down this rabbit hole, but I ended up looking back at the Lightning's edge uniforms and I have a new found appreciation for them, if not a guilty pleasure for it I suppose (except the socks). Yes, it is a template, but they used it so much better than any other team that had the same base. It's modern and simple. So, I started having fun with it and seeing what other teams it could work for. There probably won't be many, I don't plan on doing every team, but here we go. Starting with the Jets. This one is perhaps the easiest transition and because of that really works for me. It helps emphasize the aviator blue on both uniforms without throwing the balance off too much, and it was an easy leap to go from the lightning bolt on the pants the streaming jet. -
Regardless, if it ends up being Colorado - Edmonton for the West final it should just be Edm whites vs Col darks the whole time.
-
Thanks @WavePunter. I worked on it some more. I think i have it 98% there. Just playing with color arrangement and deciding if the outermost stroke should go around the head. Also kicking around if i want some more detail in the beard/stache or not, keeping in mind it'd be small as a shoulder logo.
-
Also this adjustment not only on the neck but the color, matching their current C logo.
-
How's this update? still unsure what the best solution is for the back of the neck, but swapping the colors on the V helped blend the head to it better.
-
Thanks. That’s the area I’m working on now to try and connect the head to the V.
-
Started working on this today to put onto a Canucks concept. I like the idea of the Johnny Canuck logos, but not the execution. The Vancouver Giants new alternate really hit that concept out of the park, so i wanted to use that to update the V logo for a shoulder patch. I have to figure out how i want to join the head to the V, so that'll be the next update.
-
Love the Sharks home and road. The orange really sticks out and adds to the look, more so than what they’ve actually done with it. My main feedback was going to be teal numbers on the road. It’ll help balance more especially with the arm design being black. I’d like their old font that went with this style jersey as well, or something new. Block font doesn’t fit the curves as well. also, small detail, but I’d use the fin logo on the pants at the very least, if not the shoulders.
-
Yeah I could. I just like them yellow like on the alt jersey for some reason. But I think I am starting to lean to the gold triangle.
-
Revisiting this concept with an option keeping the current color scheme. Also, two options for the logo colors because i can't decide. For some reason i really like the sticks being yellow, but that's a lot of orange too.
-
Not that I’m a dedicated Ducks fan, but I kind of fall into this group. Eggplant/jade is unique, orange/black feels like a fit for California team. I actually really like how the logo is on the orange alts. uniforms need to be fixed either way though.
