OhioSportsMan61 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Every year around this time, I usually work on a concept series since I have a decent amount of time in between when school ends and when I start my summer job. So for this spring/summer, I am going to give every team in the NHL a new look. With this series, I want to incorporate more color into the uniforms, abandon the "cookie cutter" templates, and give each team a unique identity. All C&C is welcomed and appreciated. First, I'll start off with the Atlantic Division. Atlantic Division Toronto Maple Leafs Florida Panthers Montreal Canadiens Boston Bruins Detroit Red Wings Tampa Bay Lightning (Update) Ottawa Senators Buffalo Sabres Pacific Division Arizona Coyotes Edmonton Oilers Vancouver Canucks Calgary Flames (Update) Anaheim Ducks Los Angeles Kings San Jose Sharks (Update) Metropolitan Division Pittsburgh Penguins Philadelphia Flyers (Update) Washington Capitals New York Islanders (Update) New York Rangers Columbus Blue Jackets Carolina Hurricanes New Jersey Devils Central Division Dallas Stars Chicago Blackhawks St. Louis Blues Colorado Avalanche Minnesota Wild Winnipeg Jets Nashville Predators The first two teams I am posting are expected to unveil new uniforms, so here is a guess as to what they will look like!

ldconcepts Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 TOR: A new striping pattern that throws back. I love it. (Matthews jab ) The shoulder logo is a great idea. FLA: Obviously, a lot like other concepts floating around, but its font is unique, and the colour balance is great. Would love to see the shoulder patch like you did! Looking forward to seeing more!

tkosty Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I like how you switched Toronto's shoulder patches to their current logo...nice touch. I really wish Florida would incorporate some sort of palm tree shoulder patch with their redesign. Clean looks though, great stuff so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosiahWVU Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Love them both. Is their a possible close up on the Panthers shoulder patch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Very good concepts. I especially like your Toronto jerseys. I have a question, when you make your concepts, do you use Adobe Illustrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go ahead and post the next two teams now... Montreal Canadiens Boston Bruins Both sets are based off their Winter Classic uniforms from this season. Enjoy.

B-mer Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Love your work, man. Everything so far is great. Leafs look amazing. The striping is almost an optical illusion in how it almost looks like two pairings of the stripes like on their socks, but meshed together. The only thing that is odd to me is the 11 point leafs, blank, as the shoulders. I don't know why, they're jerseys up to now with that as the main and the old style leaf as the shoulder is fine, but when you reverse them it just seems weird. Panthers look great. Habs and B's are both classy. The Winter Classic jerseys this past year were so nice. I almost think the Leafs would look good with the round sweater collar like these.

Well, there's a free 30 day trial that you could download but it's sort of expensive to buy a license through Adobe.

OhioSportsMan61 Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Up next: Detroit Red Wings Yeah yeah, I know that I ditched the winged wheel logo. Deal with it haha Tampa Bay Lightning This was inspired by a concept by Jake Miller, posted on Icethetics Enjoy!

ScreamingViking Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Most of these concepts are excellent. I especially like the Toronto striping and the Winged D Detroit primaries. The Tampa Bay is a little off. I like the faint incorporation of silver, but those "bolts" on the arms got me thinking Jack and the Beanstalk.Try removing the curve in the pattern on the arms; that might make them look more like bolts.

Crabcake Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Agreed on Tampa. I love the font, but the stripes remind me more of rose bushes/spiny plants than lightning. Great idea tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
