henchmeister Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hey all,Recently I've started fiddling around with creating logo and jersey concepts in Illustrator and came up with something for the AHL's Texas Stars.Primary Logo:Not a fan of the present day Texas logo which is basically the old Stars logo except heavily beveled. I am, however, a fan of the old Dallas shoulder patch logo, so I took that and removed the "D" and the black from the logo and replaced all of it with gold.Alternate logo:Removed all the unnecessary beveling that I feel ruins the look of the current brand and added the old Stars colors for continuity.Jerseys:Currently working on an alternate, but in the meantime, any thoughts or critiques?

Morgan33 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The uniform crest works surprisingly well, as does the palette. I'd prefer a little bit of black but overall this is a solid concept and an improvement over what the team currently wears. Nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuit faces of them Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Not a big fan of the gold. Would prefer in this case for the AHL team to be the same colors as the affiliate. Other than that. Can you send this to the AHL office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan24898 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I actually really like the Dallas Stars current color scheme, but the gold goes with the green so well, I still think it is a little bit better. I would shrink the star in the alternate a little bit, I think it's a bit large to read as the x in Texas.

T-ROY Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 The Texas Stars have the best jerseys in all of minor hockey. I'm sorry, but this would be a HUGE downgrade. I mean, none of the striping matches in this set. (hem, arms and socks) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YelichGraphics Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 in my opinion i would swap the primary and secondary on the uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, none of the striping matches in this set. (hem, arms and socks)I disagree with this strongly. They're by no means the worst, but nowhere near the best. This set here would be a downgrade, mostly because it appears to be tying itself to their parent club's former brand identity but yes, the consistency throughout the uniform is a mess.If the striping on the arms was used on both the hem and socks, and the smaller stripe was a bit thicker then this set would be better.

henchmeister Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks for the help so far. Made a couple of changes to the home and away and cleaned up the striping, removing the double stripe on the socks and the gold/white or the sleeves of the home and away respectively. I also disagree that Texas currently has some of the best uniforms in the AHL. I find their inconsistency to be jarring to be honest, plus I'm not a fan of their current home set. But to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbroalexander Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Quite the improvement just by fixing the striping. Now just move the logo up a little and a tad bigger. Work on clipping the shoulder logos so they don't bleed off. The back numbers and captain's C could be bigger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
