DTConcepts Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I was initially planning to all 30 teams in a throwback-ish series for the NHL's 100th anniversary, but I decided it was too much work and would simplify teams I thought needed it in no particular order. First up... ANAHEIM DUCKS Do I know that the logo used is the Quad City Mallards' logo? Yes. Do I care? That's debatable. The idea behind these was to be as simple as it could get, and that meant to simplify the color scheme and striping to small strokes on the upper arm and waist. More teams coming soon!

Point1 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Great series idea, I was actually planning on doing something in the same vein. I'll definitely be following this one. Anaheim looks promising, I'd flip the logo (to make it an A) and make it your own a little bit. Maybe sharpen the curves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Next up, the New York Islanders. I was going to make some changes to Anaheim but I figured I'd rather keep truckin' on with the series. Guess what those four stripes are for? Counting the stripes on the waist, arms, collar, and logo, there are 20 stripes. And yes, I'm aware the numbers are the exact same as the Ducks, but I needed to get this one out in a hurry. Thoughts?

OhioSportsMan61 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 You didn't "need" to get this one out in a hurry. Why rush your concepts then? It really shows sometimes. Take your time and only post when you are actually satisfied with your work. I feel like we've gone over this before...

DTConcepts Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Alright next up is the Nashville Predators! Like I said, no particular order. I tried to get the six-stringed guitar pattern on the striping, but I couldn't do it without the jersey looking too crowded. Instead, I settled on a simpler striping pattern, and the (in my opinion) better guitar pick logo. Thoughts? "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

DTConcepts Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Up next, the Washington Capitals. I'm trying to do the piping-filled teams now, so the Caps were the next choice. The piping is replaced with a simple (Probably too simple) design. Thoughts? "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It's a simplification series so what is the need for the overly convoluted collar? If you adopted something more traditional, your Capitals set would be outstanding. Nashville has a vastly superior striping configuration but i'm not sure the guitar pick logo is strong enough to serve as the primary. Put it on the shoulders and adopt the current primary as the main crest and you've got something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has more elements and some that aren't readily obvious to those who don't know Nashville as Music City or the Tennessee state flag.

The real Preds logo has a lot of strokes and such, and an awkward shape. This logo is pretty straight forward. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

ahowe6464 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Caps look great. The simplification on these really cleans them up a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
