oldschoolvikings Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Recently in a thread about favorite color schemes, a fellow member said he was tired of the St. Louis Blues' "double blue" color scheme. And he was a fan of the team. Not being a fan, I've always been OK with the look, I thought they pulled it off, and it sets them apart from the Sabres. But the more I thought about it, I kind of soured on it too. Especially when looking at the Blues' distant history. It's sometimes hard to tell because of the varying nature of old color photography, but at one time the Blues had a noticeably lighter blue... almost sky blue in some pics. So... Here's two ideas... one with white trim at home, and one with the white removed; As always, thoughts appreciated. 5 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topherlee2 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I personally like the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 Years ago when I started this thread I posted an Arizona Coyotes uniform that I was rather fond of... you can find it back on page two. Anyway, with the Coyotes recently bringing back the Kachina sweaters, I was thinking about how much fun their original look was. That made me want to revisit my concept, but see if the old logos might work with it.

I’m not too sure how I feel about the purple being thrown in there. I really think it makes them unique, but maybe it’s too dark to go with that red. And personally, I love the full body kachina logo - how would you recolor that to fit this purple/sand/red color scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be their best look ever if it were used in real life. Regarding the Coyotes, could you try a dark teal instead of purple? That would probably go well with the red and sand. I think the simplified pattern looks great though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the simplified pattern looks great though. Yeah, I know I'm pushing it with the purple. That seems to be a pretty common reaction to that particular concept (and I've recently been told I take criticism so poorly I should be ashamed!) and your dark teal is an interesting thought. I'll give it a go. The purple/cardinal idea is something that's been stuck in my head for like 20 years, and I just keep trying to make it work. Back in the 90's I worked with a guy who had played football at a tiny school in Indiana called St. Josephs, and he told me their colors were purple and cardinal, and I was just fascinated. How would that even happen? I've been trying to find a pro team to force it onto ever since. (I've got a purple/cardinal Arizona Diamondbacks concept somewhere, too.) But maybe I'll try a few other colors in it's place... just not black. 2 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitalogy26 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 In that Pumas baseball pic, that purple seems to work cause it’s pretty light. Maybe in your Yotes concept you could lighten the purple? Have you tried different shades? I really like that purple in the Pumas pic you posted - it really pops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 That Pumas uniforms remind me of an old concept of mine too. It's a great and underused color scheme. Still think dark teal replacing the purple would look sweet though haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardsblues02 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I’d love to see your Coyotes concept with teal or green replacing purple. I do think the purple somewhat works, but it would look better with a different color IMO. Still and interesting and well executed concept. The Blues gold color you used is ugly. Other than that, I don’t mind the set. I actually like the double blue, but a return to just royal would be fine by me. Oh and the stripes remind me of the Nashville Preditors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just looking at that concept on my tablet and the blue looks very different from what it does on my computer... I guess that's pretty common. (Not that you'd necessarily like it better, but still...) The stripes are supposed to relate to the lines from sheet music... that might be a bit to "Nikespeak" though. 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming to these concepts boards makes me so sad about the current states of so many teams. seeing this beautiful set and then looking at the harsh reality is like night and day. But I would like to see maybe a brighter teal or purple with this same concept haha. Would that stand out even more? regardless keep up the great work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an issue with the current logo, I just wanted to try a different "C". 1 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
