  1. I'd like to see this with the logos reversed. As a Flames fan, I feel only the "Flaming C" should ever be our primary logo. Yeah, I'm sure if I was a fan of the team, I'd be a lot less likely to mess with the logo. But, one day the idea of a flaming goalie mask popped into my head, and I thought it was too funny to pass up. Well, I was shooting for just a very bright red... certainly not neon. I hate neon.
  2. Decided to make this a thread for all my NHL concepts. Here's the Calgary Flames...
  3. I thought about the lightning bolt on the pants, but since I was going with more traditional striping every where else, I wanted the pants to work the same. In my mind, you either run with the lightning bolt motif throughout or keep it limited to the logo. I see no reason to match the Lightnings' current plain block font, especially with the cluttered split outline. As for the road needing less gray? Nah, I like it this way... my favorite part, actually. Shoulder logos? OK, yeah.
  4. Weird that the Lions connection seems so obvious to everyone. I honestly didn't think about it until it was mentioned (although I see pretty clearly what you all mean). My first thought about a Lightning concepts was, no black. Blue plus black (except maybe a true sky blue) is an awful color scheme IMO. If I had the keys to the Lions' uniform, step one would be to flush that useless black trim out of there.
  5. I've never posted a hockey concept before. I just recently got a template together, so I thought I'd try it out. I had a lot of fun making it. Thoughts? http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp274/wingdog2000/litning_zpsbz6brzom.png
  6. The pattern looks good on the black but I'm not a fan on the white. The number font looks good and really familiar for some reason. It's a slightly modified Phoenix Suns font.
  7. New Saints idea. I was looking at some Mardi Gras designs and kept seeing this diamond pattern reoccurring.
  8. Hmmm. The blue I was trying for was supposed to be slightly lighter than royal... sort of a desaturated version of their old blue helmet, which was definitely lighter than a standard royal. To me, that isn't what I'd call royal blue. This is the blue worn by the Buffalo Bills... That is royal blue... I was trying for something lighter and grayer than that. Also, you can see the Bills use royal and navy together, although I suppose you could argue about how successful it is.
  9. Doh! You are spot on about the "1". I customized off the Dallas Stars' font, but I missed that. By the way, thanks for all the feedback lately... it's been helpful.
  10. Inspired by the new Dolphin throwback. No dark blue, stripes, and I stuck a little helmet on the new Dolphin. (Yeah, I know, it doesn't really fit on him, but I just wanted to).
  11. I tried it that way but it bugged me that the stripes were blue with black trim while the numbers were black with blue trim... personal preference I guess.
  12. This. Those three color together are a bit of a nightmare. There isn't anything that has any real contrast. If they switched out charcoal for silver at the numbers and pants stripe that would be a major improvement. I still would rather have the kelly, just because I love that color, but the dismal lack of contrast is the biggest problem.
  13. On a second look, I thin you might be right, although the jersey backs look a little plain. Should I try to incorporate the stripe to the back somehow?
  14. Like this? Obviously, I tried it both ways. My concern with this version is that the white seemed a little empty. Not as big of a concern for the equally empty dark jersey just because the color carries so well. But, I don't know... what does everyone else think? Yoke or no yoke?
  15. Another Cardinals concept. Just an idea popped in my head, trying to colonize some new space on a football uniform like Cleveland and Seattle...
  16. Another Ravens' concept... I think I've done about a dozen. This was just based on a helmet idea I had.
  17. Here's a new Eagles concept, based on the late 70's/early 80's look...
  18. Spot on. I've never understood the love for that navy jersey, for all the reasons you state. But even worse is the people who try to sell you on the ridiculous "double-star" alternate jersey. The Cowboys made a huge wrong turn when they decided a jersey was cursed... they should be embarrassed.
  19. I don't like the Bears set at all. I'm the opposite... love the Bears uniforms, bored silly by the Mariners.
