Darknes Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 "Wow" is all I can say.Just out of curiosity, why are these referred to as the "fishstick" jerseys?They were called the Fishstick Jerseys, because the fisherman on the logo resembled the Gorton Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Can we see it with a better number font?I love the look though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 You should ask sparky chewbarky permission to do a baseball version of his Las Vegas Aces concept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLAKnight Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Can we see it with a better number font?I love the look though. I found a font close enough to the original, but straightened, and tweaked it. It looks a lot better especially since the I didn't have to resize everything.

TheLAKnight Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 What font did you end up using for the Islanders?On hockeyjerseyconcepts.com their is a link to a photobucket account with the fonts of most current and former NHL teams from the last 10 years, though it's slightly outdated now. There are a few AHL fonts included like that of the old Connecticut Whale.I used the white jersey version because it already has a double outline. The 1 that I used was from the Hartford Whalers set, ironically enough, which itself was modified from the Blues font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 The new font looks much better, though I did appreciate the silliness of the old wavy numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLAKnight Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 I realized earlier today that I was going to save the Eastern teams for later. Whoops, oh well. The Isles are a special treat then.Up next are former residents of the State of Hockey, the Minnesota North Stars. I haven't finished every set as there are about 5 different looks that I'm recreating, so here are their 3 pre-BFBS sets. The first home jersey is loosely based on the Twins early sets.1967-19751975-19781978-1981 (Green would last until 1988) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'd be interested in seeing this North Stars concept with black incorporated. Still looks solid while the Islanders look spectacular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 The North Stars look fantastic! Green pinstripes look surprisingly good. These defunct team concepts are giving me a history lesson about the NHL, by the way.If I could make a request, I'd like to see a Detroit throwback set based on this jersey. Red and cream look great together, and I love the wordmark and "Monopoly"-style numbers.Will you also be doing concepts for some of the early Depression-era teams who were only around for a few years?

Probably only for 3 teams: the Montreal Maroons, the New York Americans, and the (original) Ottawa Senators. All 3 were around for at least 10 which is more than I've had to work with for other short lived expansion teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC_3.2designs Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 This is hands down my favorite thread on this forum. I have been coming back everyday just to see what you have next. Love the retro style of the North Stars and agree with the idea to do one with a black North Stars set. Also you did a great job on my ducks!

TheLAKnight Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 After a week long hiatus, I'm back! I finally found time to finish up the North Stars with 3 more sets. Updates hopefully won't be quite as infrequent. 1981-881988-911991-93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
