deked73 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have seen other concepts with chevrons for sleeve stripes and had an idea for my own version. I looked at the chevrons for an Ordnance sergeant from the union army. I made the initial color scheme for the jackets one to resemble a Union Army uniform with two tones of blue and no red in the design. the other version do utilize Columbus' color scheme with the addition of a lighter blue that they use on the present alternate. I am open to any and all critiques that anyone has.First the logos the oval one ont he bottom right and the circular one on the bottom left are meant to be secondary or shoulder logos.The C and the star obviously are for Columbus being the capital of Ohio. the crossed cannons are inspired by the insignia found on Civil War era kepis and uniforms. The founder of the Blue Jackets John H. McConnell initials are included in some of the designs actual Civil War chevrons that inspired meThe uniform sets.First design. The two tone blue with white and a touch of grey or silver. The pants are to look like the Union Army's pants and go with the idea that the jackets have now with different colored pants from the jersey. The founder of the Jackets initials are included on these designs like they are on the alternate and the "We march, We fight" inside the collar.2nd design. Using the Jackets colors and adding the light blue trim with a little bit of grey.3rd design. Has less red and less grey and more blue on it. I was tryin some of the other logos and added the red stripes on the flag logo to look more like the Ohio flag.As i go along i will add different versions and revisions of the uniforms and logos. I want to use them for the Hockey Jersey Concepts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolphins91 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Really nice stuff here. I like the middle the best then the top is my 2nd. On the bottom choice, I feel that the red and light blue blends too much. It looks like purple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YMolina4 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Really like #2 and 3, #1 looks a little too much like the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrcollis714 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The top looks the best. I was always hoping the Blue Jackets would switch to the alternate color scheme, but I wasn't sure if they would make the alternate the home. You gave them a reson not to. The only thing I don't like are the different logos on each shoulder and the fact that you included the owners initials in a sports logo, which is not appropriate.

McConnell was the original owner of the Blue Jackets--he brought hockey to Columbus. He passed away six or seven years ago, so his initials would be in remembrance of him; it is not a celebration of a current owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deked73 Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 Can you show a larger version of those BEAUTIFUL logos?here is larger versions of the logos, plus recolored ones to be in the Blue Jackets current color scheme with the addition of the light blue in some of the designs.I took the shield design that is the on the right side of the top rows and altered them to have a resemblance to the Ohio state flag.with the shapeI did take off the JHM from the logos but may return them to the oval one if i chose to use that one for the shoulder patch. Let me know what you think about these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 They're all a bit busy but the C-Star with the crossed cannons is your strongest mark yet. You could build around elements in that crest or separate them to keep the uniforms clean. I'd just wouldn't go overkill on the chevrons and keep the wording to a minimum.

JT221 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 They're all so good it's hard to pick. I would probably go with the second one because it incorporates all of the elements into one simple logo. I do think you should stick with the first color scheme of all blue as the red strays away from the 'blue jackets' theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
