DTConcepts Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 3 hours ago, Snow_Monster said: No....! You chose the far inferior logos for Colorado. The ''A'' is so much better looking. Also, why are so many concepts obsessed with choosing navy over the steel blue. It looks so drab with the burgundy. Lighten it up! I completely disagree. The 'A' is getting dated, and the 'C' brings the state identity and recalls the Rockies' old identity. The steel blue is unique, I'll give you that, but the navy looks pretty good, imo.

kjella47 Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Columbus Main Logo: I used the jackets current secondary, personally I think it looks nicer and better on the ice. Alt Logo: I used the cannon from the main logo. Home Uniform: Loosely based on their current alternate, this uses more red than their current home. Road Uniform: Similar to home white and blue are swapped. Alternate Uniform: Cream base with their lighter blue and the cannon on front. Dallas Main Logo: The Stars current logo with the 'STARS' type from their original logo. Alt Logo 1: The Stars current alternate logo with the black and green swapped. Alt Logo 2: An outline of the state of Texas with the state flag pattern in it with the colors swapped to match the team colors. Home Uniform: Their current home uniform with the state logo on sleeves, stripes now touch the bottom of the jersey. Road Uniform: Their current away uniform with the state logo on sleeves, stripes now touch the bottom of the jersey. Alternate Uniform: New black uniform with alt logo on front Let me know what you think Next are Detroit and Edmonton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'A' is ok, but it's starting to get a bit dated. the 'C' logo brings the state-wide identity into it, along with recalling the Rockies' old logo. The steel blue is unique, I'll give you that, but the navy works just a bit better. I know that changing the Avs look is hard for you. You only like their initial 1996 look. But evolution and change have to occur for progress to happen. That ''dated'' logo is the best crest to come out of the 90s. There's a reason that it's one of only two logos from its era to have gone unchanged since its introduction. Can it be updated? Sure, but that also applies to every logo for every team in the league. The ''Rockies'' logo is a knockoff. I wouldn't mind it being used as the primary for a Winter Classic or Stadium Series (heck even a celebration night commemorating Colorado Hockey would be fine), but it's still a knockoff. My main gripe with it, is that the Rockies have no ties whatsoever with the current organization. The only thing they have in common is geography. It would be like the Wild copying the Star's logo or the Jets borrowing elements from the Coyotes. Two separate teams who played in the same place for a time. Plus, we don't need a state wide identity. Playing good hockey will give your state more recognition than finding an excuse to mimic a deduct team, which, by the way, never even had a winning season. The new logo just looks like it's trying too hard to imitate the original Rockies logo without running into copyright issues. Plus the original looks better anyways. A nod to history is fine, great even, but this is simply an inferior design that is out of place. As for the navy working better, well it just isn't true. Burgundy and navy are very dark colors that don't provide a lot of contrast from each other. Mixing the two just looks drab and they don't compliment each other like the burgundy and steel blue. The lighter blue provides contrast with the darker burgundy which is pretty essential in sports. In action, the new 3rds just look like a dark mess with white shoulders. The bugundy doesn't stand out at all and just gets lost in the navy. Other teams that use navy use a brighter red if it's part of their color scheme. Take for example the Rangers and Capitals. The Av's original '96 look worked since the blue was darker and the burgundy was lighter, but it just wasn't easy on the eyes which is why the steel blue and darker burgundy work so well. Not trying to sound snide but what do you know what look I love? For your information, I prefer the Av's look from 1999-2007. There was change there, and it was for the better. But what's this line on ''progress''? What's so great about progress? Change for the sake of change is a terrible argument. Try that line with any original six fan and they'll probably take it very badly. None of those teams did a whole lot of ''evolution or change. Don't take it personally, I'm not attacking you, just stating my opinion which you made an incorrect assumption about. It isn't likely that we will agree,but I'm just clarifying what I believe and why for you. 16 hours ago, kjella47 said: New Chicago I added the current logo to the home and away as mentioned by @BeerGuyJordon Updated Colorado I changed the logo to a newer version of the classic 'A' and now have navy as a complimentary color rather than a main color As always don't be afraid to tell me what you think! There we go! Much better. It looks really good now and I don't even mind that there aren't any mountain designs on the jerseys. The colors work so much better this way. Personally, I've never liked the removal of black from the Av's color scheme, but the navy works very well in place of it. I really don't have a whole lot to say on the other team designs because they've all been pretty solid so far. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjella47 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Detroit Main Logo: The wings logo from their last Stadium Series. Alt Logo: Their current main logo. Home Uniform: Based on their Stadium Series Jerseys but rather than a diagonal stripe it is similar to Montreal's mid stripe Road Uniform: Same as home but white and red swap Alternate Uniform: A more modern version of a classic, I tried to keep it simple and classy while being something new. (I know Datsyuk isn't with the Wings anymore, I made this before I heard he was leaving) Center Ice: I never was a fan of the 'Hockey Town' script at center ice so I left it out Edmonton Main Logo: Their current main logo Alt Logo: The oil drop from the main logo. Home Uniform: Based on their current home, orange at the ends of the sleeves were removed, alt logo added to shoulder. Road Uniform: Based on their current road, alt logo added to shoulder. Alternate Uniform: A more modern uniform for Edmonton, orange base with blue outlined white stripes, alt logo used on front.

BeerGuyJordan Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I really like Detroits new D, but I want them to adopt it for full-time alternate jersey usage. I like the alts for Edmonton, but try miving the numbers down and slapping their primary on the shoulder.

The Panthers look good, I just don't understand why the team didn't put the updated logo front and center, and the crest on the shoulders...y'know, like a military patch? I think LA looks good in yellow and purple, though I doubt they'll ever make the move.

BeerGuyJordan Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I'm actually not a fan of that color scheme for the Wild. I feel like it's a big step back from what they currently have. As a fauxback, that North Stars-esque home is great, though.

I understand what you mean, I have always thought though that it'd be nice to see the Wild use the old kelly and gold. And I'm personally not a huge fan of the red and forest.

Uglybus Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't like the State of Hockey logo. It's kinda weird having a roundel that isn't completely round. Maybe making the logo completely circular, removing the sticks, and putting the state outline where the sticks were? Just an idea. "Okay, Mr. OKC, you obviously have never been to Louisville."
