OK... here is take two on the Predators. I took everyone's advice about making the primary gold, and I'm glad I did. Also, dropped the silver... also glad I did. I'm still currently truing to save my Sabretooth paw print logo... I'm being stubborn. But I'm also working with some other ideas, so we'll see. Feedback appreciated! -
Thanks, guys, for the feedback. Good points all around, especially on the colors' similarity to Buffalo's. I hadn't really caught that because in my mind, the Sabres are a royal blue team to me (or at least, should be!), but now that you've mentioned it, I can't get it out of my head. I'll think I rework it to emphasize gold, and probably drop the GFGS. As for the logo... again, good points. I knew all along that the footprint wouldn't be recognized as a sabre tooth tiger foot by anyone (who isn't a paleontologist, I guess) but I figured, since their team name is "Predators", not "Sabre tooth" I could get away with it. I think it does look like the print of some type of predator, and the sabre tooth connection to Nashville is inside knowledge anyway. Still, it could definitely get some reworking, I was just enamored with what I thought was the clever introduction of the Tennessee flag stars. OK... back to the drawing board. Please check back in for the update and let me know what you think.

So, I've always hated the Nashville Predators' logo. I just think it's embarrassingly amateurish. It's kind of a cross between a Hanna-Barbara funny animal and an 80's heavy metal logo. So, I've avoided doing a concept for them, because I didn't want to use that logo, but I couldn't really think of a replacement. Then, while putting together a lecture (on cave painting, for an Art Appreciation class, strangely enough) I came across this image; It's a fossilized footprint from a Saber Tooth Tiger, apparently. So I decided to work with that and came up with this; (I kept the goofy cartoon cat as a shoulder patch, but I could get talked out of it.)

I can see why someone would be annoyed by the lack of brown, but I wanted to do something other than just wear the orange pieces already provided. I was trying to make something unique from the other looks. -
Not sure how we got this far without...
-
OK... here's a few variations on that Kings' design; First, the I removed the black... Then I brought the black back, but removed the yellow (replacing it with light gold in the logo)...
-
That was literally the last thing I came up with for that. I'm just in an anti-double-outline mood for numbers these days, and I thought it was a clever way to get all three colors onto the numbers and still keep a single outline. I guess that's why we call them concepts.

Here's another run at the Los Angeles Kings. I have an earlier one a few pages back... it's a little overdone, even for me. So, take two;
-
OK... I went with your idea on the full body Johnny... and I gotta say, I think you were right. This is pretty nice.
-
Wow, thank you for the awesome feedback... I really appreciate it. I'm enjoying making these but sometimes it feels a bit like I'm just doing it for myself so it's nice to hear someone is checking I'll give the full body Johnnie a shot, but without the double blue orca logo I don't know if I even need the navy blue... incorporating the navy of the logo onto the uniform was the main idea. And you're in good company with not liking the roundel behind the Weagle... universally disliked idea, I guess. My thought was to try to find someway to fill the dome shape with white... you know, like the actual building. But obviously the circle was too much. Back to the drawing board. Thanks again!

I know the Panthers' look is fairly popular around here, but I've always been bugged by the various inconsistencies in the striping and such. I made this with the thought that I'd keep the helmet untouched, and design the rest of the uniform to go with it. -
Ever since the redesign, I've been annoyed at the lack of green in the logo, but, honestly, now I get it. I tried more than a few different ways to shoehorn some green into that logo, and hated all of them. I assume the designers went thru a similar process.

Some time ago I posted this concept... Based on my undying love of royal blue and kelly green as an amazing color scheme and my completely indefensible appreciation for what is widely considered to be the worst NHL uniform of all time, the "flying V" jerseys. I feel like it wasn't well received. So, back to the drawing board. IMO, the Canucks current color scheme is beyond fabulous. I've loved the uniform of every team that's ever worn it... the original Seattle Seahawks, original Minnesota Timber Wolves, original Dallas Mavericks, the amazing Hartford Whalers... all great. So, I went back into this Vancouver concept with two goals.... first make the kelly green more prominent. This color is criminally underused in modern sports. You have the Celtics, and that's about it. Secondly, I wanted to do something to make sense of the double blues in the logo, and carry those colors to the rest of the uniform. Oh, and I wanted to get rid of the city name above the logo. So, here it is.... thoughts?

Yeah, I definitely see why you'd say that. I just have this weird thing about wanting a contrast between the hem and pants. Just a personal preference.
-
Taking your advice I tried with a recolor of gold on the sleeve and yoke, but I didn't love it. Just wasn't enough black for me, left it a little washed out. So I split the difference... I kept the yoke black, but recolored the sleeves to gold. I think I like it better than me first attempt... what do you think?

It's been a looong time between hockey concepts for me, but I thought it would be fun to pull this old thread out of mothballs... Here's a Penguin concept.... any thoughts?
