JCRGraphix Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 It's hockey time! Now that my NCAA Football Super Series is complete, I'm working on the Hockey and Baseball teams as well. As it is in real life, some schools don't have a football program, so you will be meeting some new schools here! On this one, I will not be presenting them by conference, but by ranking 1-25, and "power rankings" from 26-67. The hockey conferences are a little bigger with a couple conferences you may remember from football expanding to include other schools, and some new ones. They are the Eastern Hockey Conference, Greater American Hockey Association, Mid Western Athletic Conference, New England Hockey Association, and the Western Hockey Conference. The NCAA Hockey Super Series has been around since 1988. So without further ado, we have the reigning National Champs... #1 Northern New York Bucks Northern New York University Location: Watertown, New YorkType: Public UniversityFounded: 1890 Conference: Eastern Hockey Conference National Championships: 3 1994, 1997, 2019 National Championship Runners-Up: 2 1995, 2003 Frozen Four Appearances: 8 1988, 1994, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2019 Conference Championships: 9 1988, 1994, 1995, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2009, 2015, 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest darkpiranha Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Yasss! I'd have maybe modified the template a bit to give it a teensy bit of hockey flair and differentiate it a bit from football. Scratched ice in one of the boxes, maybe. Rotate background a 30 degrees perhaps. It may be a spoiler for this series, but what state has the most cross-sport success? Any team win championships in multiple sports in the same season?

So great questions here. I'm just keeping the template the same because the whole thing is one massive project. As for cross-sport success, once I've finished hockey and baseball, I will do basketball and each school will have a summary of all sports and you can see all of their uniforms together. Up next are the UPU Falcons who are as dominant in hockey as they are in football... #2 UPU Falcons Upper Peninsula University Location: Iron Mountain, MichiganType: Public UniversityFounded: 1944 Conference: Mid Western Athletic Conference National Championships: 3 1990, 1996, 2014 National Championship Runners-Up: 2 1997, 2019 Frozen Four Appearances: 6 1990, 1996, 1997, 2006, 2014, 2019 Conference Championships: 5 1990, 1996, 2006, 2014, 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurdBranding Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Heck yea brother! This is some pure college hockey. What makes it most obvious? (And what I find most satisfying about college looks) 1. Northern New York created a full on roundel with their massive amount of letters around a number. 2. Upper P literally throws the whole entire alphabet across their chest on the alt and that is a move I respect a lot. (made a team with a ridiculous amount of diagonal txt matched with a two color 4 stripe look for a project of mine I’ve been working on, so I’m going to have to politely ask you to get out of my head please) and what I like that works on any level of the game. 1. Im a sucker for the focus on thick white stripes for a colored jersey like Northern New York has done with their greens. (Perfect example being the Peterborough Petes maroon jersey if anyone is confused) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chcarlson23 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The mallards logo is too good to not be on the front of the sweater for New Jersey. The U logo would be much better as a shoulder patch. "And those who know Your Name put their trust in You, for You, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You."

TheRoman Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 reversing the yellow and white on the striping on the secondary uniforms could help utilize the yellow better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurdBranding Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Detroit: Wish Detroit would utilize that Giant logo some more, I had forgotten it was in their visual package. Do they keep it in the back pocket just for certain times? It is superior to the DS for sure. I also like the whalers look that goes up higher on the arm. New Jersey: Really like the striping you went with, it feels very college to me. Their UNJ logo has looked best on a hockey sweater imo. Wilford Woodruff: Has an awesome script and I wish they had numbers to match the flowing nature of it. Going with that thick stripe with two very thin stripes is a consistent look you see in the NCAA, and although it isn’t my personal favorite I think it accomplishes the goal of the series. (Feels like Northern Michigan to me) Denver: I love the colors, but I feel that the orange stripe could be thicker. It looks like all three colors are balanced in the logo so I just assumed they were all meant to be equal in use. Do they lean more on the navy and green? Using orange as more of an accent. Dakota Tech: Has the identity of a classic hockey school and there is nothing not to love about them. Boston: Think their script is the best option for the chest, but again this is a timeless look for them. Really love the silver and green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
