JCRGraphix Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I had an interesting idea for a concept series while watching old hockey videos. What would the World Cup of Hockey look like if the world still had the same borders as if it were 1816. I am making concepts for 10 countries with current players. Up first is the 10th-ranked Ottoman Empire which has no current NHL players on its roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopernv Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 It's Grabovski, FYI. Looks pretty good so far. Prussia is pretty intimidating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they could use a little gold as an outline color or something like that. Eh, it could just be me. if no gold, the Ottomans still look very good!

Stampman Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Good looking concepts there--I think they'd sell some jerseys if these were real. Looking forward to the rest.

Guest darkpiranha Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I love these, Spain especially. One thing I would be really interested in is seeing some of the elements you use for inspiration for these World Cup designs. For example, I'm personally unfamiliar with any of the elements used in this Spain design, like the central logo and the crossed bars. I'm assuming those are all from flags or other parts of Spanish history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cross is the Burgundy Cross or Cruz de Borgoña which was features on the flag of the Spanish Empire from the 1500s into the 1800s. The logo is their coat of arms.

B-mer Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 New Spain looks solid. Love it. The torso design on Germany looks cool. Might be an interesting direction to take a Canucks design too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
