ieatstaples Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 Added a diagonal hem pattern to go for a more traditional look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatstaples Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I made some major renovations for the Sharks. To start off, I wanted to reintroduce silver, and eliminate orange to go back to San Jose's original color palette. Secondly, their current primary logo has recently gotten a lot of flack for being "too cartoony." I never saw it as a problem but I understand the complaint so I wanted to cut down on that a little as well. Third, instead of going back to an iteration of their already perfect original jerseys, I decided to go with something modern, which hearkens back to their pre-Edge jerseys (which, in my opinion, were very underrated).

JT17 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 love the jersey, love the shoulder patch, but something about the shark without the broken stick just is missing...like it just lacks the character it used to have. Maybe it's just because im used to seeing it or something it just doesn't look complete to me. other than that the rest is amazing. I love how you combined the new and old fin logo.

Maybe try a version with a gray stick? Besides that I love it. The striping is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I feel like there should at least be a hint of orange and/or white, but I'm probably in the minority who things that. Other than that, this series is amazing! "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the primary without the stick, but it does feel odd. I'm not sure if it's nostalgia (this was the first sports logo I fell in love with, as a kid), or pure aesthetic. Maybe try it with the stick, maybe even recolor it.The bottom line, though, is that this sweater i fine without it, though that one tweak might have the potential to take it to 11.

KittSmith_95 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Wow..... I love that Sharks set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuckleball Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Modern, unique, elegant, BEAUTIFUL. Thank you for removing the stick, you shouldn't have to hit people over the head with what sport they're watching. And having a grey shark is a huge improvement. I have never seen a black shark in my life, and this looks like a real shark leaping out from the shadows. The arm stripes remind me of a wave breaking over a shark fin. That said, I think it would look better with more grey. Specifically on the hem stripes, collar, and even main logo. At least one fin should be grey depending on how the "light" is pointed at the shark. I'd even be fine going full grey. Grey and teal are both unique in the NHL, the Sharks should own it. Make grey the secondary colour and keep black as the tertiary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamingViking Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I would consider lightening a grey a few shades, just to contrast the dark teal better, but otherwise this SJ set is a home run! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcake Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 That is one heck of a jersey, and that's a lot coming from me because I vastly prefer orange to gray as San Jose's secondary color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Point1 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Looking forward to St Louis, I'm loving this series so far. I can't believe I've never seen someone take the stick out of the Shark's mouth before but it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ieatstaples Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 With St. Louis, I wanted to move away from navy for two reasons; I've already got enough navy in this series heh, and also I'm a huge fan of the Blues' original jerseys. This new set is a combination of their original jerseys from 1967 and also their current alternate jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeye Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 This may be the best looking NHL series I've seen. Bravo and well done on all of these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nas1787 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Agreed. This is a great series overall. St Louis looks good, but the blue sweater could benefit from gold numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
