crazyboy335 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 So I've had this idea in my head where teams are required to drop a color and replace it with another. Most redesigns circle around bringing back old colors or cycling the palettes to make them more appealing, so I decided to try something a little more out of the ordinary. This is my first time doing anything like this, so criticism is appreciated! First up is the Lightning. I hate how they have black for basically no reason, so I had them drop it and exchange it with a bright, electric blue. The crest also gains a shadow, and the alternate goes from a classic roundel to an outline of Florida outlined like the crest. What do you guys think? Anything I should work on?

NoE38_Concepts Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This is definitely wacky, so i'll give you credit there. I also really like what you did with the logo. It calls back to the team's past and fits in with the jersey. As for the striping, This would look better if it was either toned down a bit, or if it was only on the arms. For the font, I would make it either 3D like the logo, or use the font the Lightning used for their Thunderstorm alternate. Just some execution things to work on, the name and number on the back are too big, and the template line should end at the striping. Lastly, I would make the collars different colours than the yoke, as they blend in right now. @noe38concepts (Instagram - Twitter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyboy335 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 I followed your advice and came up with this - is this better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioSportsMan61 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Man that second set you came up with is real unique. I think it would look solid on a realistic player model, too. Good work! My Behance Portfolio --- Follow @Steinosaur19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbj273 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The second set is much improved. The striping is unique but it looks much better just on the arms. Only nitpick I have is I would drop the outline on the name on the back. It's not as bad on the away and the alternate but on the primary home it doesn't look very good imo.

crazyboy335 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I kept the outline on just to make the uniforms continuous. Thanks for the thoughts though - the toned down spikes are a huge improvement IMO. Right now I'm working on Minnesota - stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyboy335 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 Here's Minnesota. The yellow did absolutely nothing to improve the team's look, so I dropped that and replaced it with a darker green. The uniforms are a throwback to the North Stars' look from the late 70's. I also had a friend recommend that the background be lighter, so I tweaked that too.

chcarlson23 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 The gold wasn't supposed to do anything... It was just supposed to be the moon/sun... I like the idea of a double green and red, but you only use the dark green as an accent in the logo... It would be cooler to see it somewhere in the striping pattern. Also, you use a beige Minnesota on a green background on the secondary logo but not on the main green jersey.

BeerGuyJordan Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 It's not a bad concept, per se, I just reject any Wild concept that gets rid of that beautiful logo.
