mattr1198 Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Back with the second original six team, which I got a bit more creative for, even with the lack of change in their identity in the past 50 years: Chicago Blackhawks: 1920s-mid 1930s: Roundel design Late 1930s-1950s: Uniform striping (sleeves and chest) 1960s-Present: Colors, logos (shoulders and chest), and numbers NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Not bad for Chicago. The only gripe I have is the numbers on the back. They look pretty big and I would decrease the outline by quite a bit. As of now there's too much red bleeding into the striping pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-mer Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I agree. Make the stroke smaller and I’d make it black for the back numbers and red for arms for appropriate contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr1198 Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Hey all, as suggested, updated the back number stroke to black to prevent color bleeding with the striping I chose. I also realized I forgot to include the sleeve numbers on the back shot of the jersey, so that's been fixed too. NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr1198 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 The next one is a bit boring unfortunately because of the lack of change in this teams colors and/or design scheme: Colorado Avalanche: 1990s-2000s: Sleeve/striping design (adapted for Adidas), primary and secondary colors, chest logo, number font 2010s-present: Tertiary color, shoulder logo NOTE: I did not include the Nordiques in the team's history due to the high chance they'll be coming back as a brand in the near future. Finishing up the "C" city teams next... NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr1198 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Columbus Blue Jackets: 2000s: Number font, waist stripe (thinned slightly), shoulder logo 2010s-present: Chest logo, general jersey design NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appleclock Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Colorado looks super nice. I love that 90s font they used. Columbus is a bit off. The hem and the yoke striping is just too jarring. I love how Stinger is back though, but, it just doesn’t have the same effect without the neon green/yellow. Like, Stinger’s been sent to rehab for his Mtn Dew addiction...

Like, Stinger’s been sent to rehab for his Mtn Dew addiction... Made some changes, namely removing the out-of-place striping and re-adding the neon to incorporate the 2000s design into the uniform. And yes, stinger relapsed and is back to his Mtn Dew habits again NYC x STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHcreative Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Chicago looks much better. Nice work. Colorado looks pretty decent. I'm not sure how I feel about the the horizontal stripe right under the collar, however. Did you try a more diagonal stripe, closer to what they currently use/have used in the past? Also, I would like the see the 'C' logo with the circle in black to allude to it being a puck and balance with the primary logo. Other than that, these are really nice. I quite like the first Columbus concept you posted. I would make the hem stripe thicker to better match their inaugural unis and call it a day. The second concept is interesting. I'm not gonna lie and say that I don't miss Stinger just a bit. But if you're gonna use that logo and the neon green, you have to go full on neon. It looks like a standard yellow to me.

Eastport76 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 For my Jets, I would love to see a few Thrashers elements like "WINNIPEG" runs vertically on the left arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattr1198 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Sorry for the long wait, just got occupied with work.

mamiller99 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I also think that with the Jackets rehashing, maybe use neon more than white in the striping. Unfortunately for you, highlighter yellow, white, and red may be the most jarring set of colors together. I also think using the current number font may look better as well. Finally, I think adding the black sleeves from their old alternate could help make it a more unique jersey That's what- She Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I'd actually like to see how the OP would approach this differently from how I did. Hell, this series' approach reminds me of my 50th anniversary sets, except w/o needing to coincide with anniversaries A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-mer Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Stars look pretty good. This would be a nice alternate. You missed making the hem on the back black though. I also feel the striping would flow a little different on the arms in a real application. Looking at this and translating the concept into a real jersey in my mind the parts on the arm aren't angled enough and a little high on the arm. Maybe it's just me over-thinking. Overall love it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
