If they did want to appease the whole North Stars crowd this jersey in the Wild's current color scheme would be a nice compromise as an alternate. There's just enough going on with the different stripes that it can easily be converted into the Wild's palette. Honestly what their Reverse Retro jersey should have been.

I’ve been bouncing this idea around in my head the last day or two. I’ve seen a couple concepts trying this in different ways. It’s also trending toward their Stadium Series uniform. 
 

my personal favorite:

it certainly would need proper execution to really work, but they could pull it off easily. 

I love the Wild’s branding. Want to make the RR an alt, that’s fine. I wouldn’t change to it full time. Although I’d prefer they bring back a red alt. 

I actually kind of like the Caps jersey. It’s a logo that works well for that purpose since it has the negative space feature of the Capitol. 

Not sure on the copper color. I like black for the contrast and fitting with the logos better. 
 

Maybe I could do the AZ logo on the roads and the lizard on the homes?

Definitely an improvement. What do you think about including the salamander logo somewhere, maybe the shoulders or a hangar effect? 

I suppose a hanger effect. I dunno. I like the logo but also doesn’t say “coyotes” to me. I do like the AZ logo

Toying around with these and felt like they might need a little more, so I added a little black? Improvement or not needed?

Thanks to @vtgco for pointing out an error in the kachina pattern. This is much better.

Looks really nice! Having the little L shapes in the striping solid rather than outlined is a massive improvement on the IRL alternate design. I am curious how it looks without those new vertical lines you've added between each pair of L shapes, though I can imagine that it's better with them.

 

Good work!

oh, good point on the vertical lines. Did not do that on purpose, just how the pattern came out. I'll have to try and fix it

Jumping off from their new alternate uniform, though toning it down a smidge and using a simplified main logo to sort of become a "kachina'd" version of the pre-Edge rebrand.

Love the Coyotes in all red again. I feel like this jersey is a few tweaks away from actually being a great set. But as an alternate it’s certainly a novelty. 

Stripped down version that more closely emulates the jersey it was based on.

Where did you get the font from? 

I made it myself. it’s not 100% accurate but close. 
 

Here's with white added to the yoke:

I really like the pattern on the alternate, but maybe change the faux yoke to have an extra white outline, matching the striping pattern?? 
 

The faux yoke look would be a little better if it matched the rest of the stripes. Especially since the teal really fades into the black there. 

hm. interesting idea. i'll try it. Thanks

Here it is as a set with the home and aways, though i think those would also look a lot better with black pants/gloves and teal numbers on the road. 

I always loved the Sharks having a black alternate, and their original one was so good at the time. I went for a little bit of an update to that. Don't ask me why, but sometimes i really like the phantom yoke, so I did that here with the triangular yoke to fit with an update to the V striping from the original alternate. Included within the teal is a triangular halftone pattern, representing sharks/shark teeth in Pacific cultures (i believe a read that somewhere, excuse me if i'm incorrect), but also carrying on the trend of patterns within the stripes that SJ has been rolling with.

Also slightly altered the main logo to what I wish they updated it to with their new uniforms, matching the update to the fin logo more.

Had the same idea for the Sharks home and road, though teal numbers on the road. I made it for EA NHL and I feel like it’s pretty much perfect for them.

was this for a Wild concept?  It would make for an amazing crest (or shoulder patch) for them.  Nice work.

It was for a North Stars concept, yes. It’s in the concept thread. Though I’m thinking of making a different version for the Wild.

I've used this exact same idea for years with my Minnesota NAFA team, not accusing you of stealing or anything but it's worth pointing out that it's a concept that can fall under the category of "too simple to be stolen". Slapping a star in the negative space of an M is an elegant look, no matter how it's executed, even if it's a bit generic.

Original team concept, June 2019

 

 

To discuss the rebrand itself, I'm quite pleased. I'm not much of a baseball fan so I'm not the most in tune with baseball aesthetics, but I'm a fan of this rebrand. I like the simplicity of the set and the wordmarks and number font are really classy. Logos are solid. Wish they included a powder blue uniform, but it's an elegant-looking set that's really nice at best and inoffensive at worst. Solid job all around, despite some small flaws.

 No, I know. I was joking. I like those too

I’m crying foul (pun intended)! They stole my logo!

im kidding, I know it’s not that original of a concept. I feel like the Twins could have done a little more with theirs, but it’s ok. 

I want to see the Bruins one but it’s the only one not showing up

Ducks RR is nearly perfect, the orange pants kill it for me. 
 

made a quick edit on my phone to make this perfect to me. I could live with this and a matching home even if it meant not going back to eggplant and jade. 
 

Gimme this Caps look full time, maybe just update the number and letter font but love the colors. Dare I say the black version of the RR is better than original. Great melding of the blue and black jerseys 

I like all of these. I like the subtlety of the four lines, i like the orange alt, the reverse retro is cool. i might suggest swapping the colors on the sock around so it's a primarily navy sock with the white and the bottom, and just swap the teal and orange around to match the rest of the stripes on the jersey.
