I included it because mountains-snow-ice-silver. Thought it was a good fit. I'll see what it looks like without, though. Silver is Not the problem here! It's always been part of the Avs identity and the color scheme is better because of it. The thing that doesn't work is having black and navy. Either navy should replace black, or even better lose the navy and use the Avs' steel blue that they've used for the past couple of decades. If you get rid of the silver and use navy then their color scheme looks just like half a dozen other teams (with some black) and there is a loss of a unique identity.

Ti-Nick Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I love this Blue Jackets concept! I also think there might be too many stripes, but if you remove one, you'll lose the Ohio flag design. Mmm... Maybe remove the contrast color tails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Hawks combine two players, Shaw and Crawford, to make Shawford. Kipper (Flames) was their old goalie Miikka Kiprusoff. Roastnick (Arizona) is a reference to Jeremy Roenick roasting Patrick Roy over a press conference. Andychunk (Sabres) is Andreychuk, a former captain. That's how I said it as a kid.

timberwolf Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Alright well I'm going to redo the Jackets sometime today. DETROIT I love the Red Wings current sets but they have so much history with unique striping patterns, I just had to use it. Sorry, no pun here, just using the man who started the Battle of Zettysburg. DALLAS The Stars current uniforms are 99% there. The only thing I really don't like is their numbers. No outline, no character. To fix that, I used this years All Star font to emulate the logo style and give a modern edge. I love how it looks. I love the comments! Keep them coming!

ldconcepts Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Never thought those All-Star numbers would look good on Stars jerseys, but wow they do! (I guess that continues Dallas' pattern of copying All Star uniforms of the past! ) Again, amazing work!

Snow_Monster Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Those numbers are strangely fitting for the Stars, nice job! It would have been nice to see the angled yokes on Dallas, you know, to add more color. As much as it pains me to say it, Detroit actually looks pretty good. Also I have to agree with @Canucklehead800 and @Morgo about the silver on the Avalanche. Your set isn't badly designed, it just too @#$%ing dark! It would be better to add the steel blue that the Avs have been using in order to lighten things up. They would look pretty darn good if they weren't so drab.

timberwolf Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Two more for today! EDMONTON The Oilers are a team where they have a set that's almost perfect. I just made a couple changes which I thought were necessary. FLORIDA We can all expect at what the Panthers new set will be. I just followed a general design but made some changes which I thought the Panthers should've made. Leave C and C! LA and Montreal will be up tomorrow!

I agree that the Avs should still use silver, but in this concept, the silver looks forced, and losing it would clean up the striping pattern...

ahowe6464 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Middle stripe should be much bigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGuyJordan Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 1 hour ago, ahowe6464 said: Middle stripe should be much bigger I would normally agree, but most of the other concepts I've seen for the new logo wind up feeling a little muted in the stripe. This one doesn't have that feel and keeps it clean and concise. I like keeping the red separate from the word crest. It might be worth considering adding a thin navy stripe to the top and bottom to "bulk it up", if anything.

timberwolf Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Alright so I'll get back to the little updates soon. In the meantime, I know you guys want to see new concepts.... LOS ANGELES So I, like others, think that the Kings need to go back to Forum Blue/Gold. Yes, they DID have success with the black and silver, but for the sake of differentiating colour schemes, this is what I'll do. The striping isn't really from a specific era, it just fits the brand. MONTREAL A lot of you will remember this from my Champions League of Hockey thread, and it appears again. Red and white take a more prominent stage, with blue as an accent. Let me know. Minnesota and Nashville will be up next! Nashville is one of my favourites.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Canadiens look real interesting like that. Gorgeous looking design overall. Match the arm numbers to the back numbers on the road jersey though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreamingViking Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The Canadiens look great, even if I can't picture the white jersey with a horizontal stripe. As for LA, I hear you on bring back the Purple (can we just call it purple?) and Yellow, but not that shade; it's a little light and looks closer to magenta. Think more of an orchid shade.

ujju2 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Looks great, but about necessary changes for Edmotnon, I personally really don't think the Oilers "need" square yokes. Darker blue is a toss-up, but I don't mind, although I think they have it perfect as it is. (That wouldn't be much of a concept now, would it?) Edit: With the changes to Montreal, now Florida and the Habs are too similar in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: With the changes to Montreal, now Florida and the Habs are too similar in my opinion. I agree with you on Edmontom, but I thought the change worked with the striping. For the Panthers, I just followed the rumours of what they will change to next season. I already think that next year they will look similar, so I tried to change some things, like the stripe width and colour arrangements. Thank you for the feedback!
