JCRGraphix Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The year is 1989, and we find ourselves in Bavaria for this next small project. I've created a six team hockey league, each team with local sponsors (using the name and logo of the time) and a light home and dark road uniform. I decided not to go overboard with the sponsors, but to use team colors for them. Up first, we will take a look at Bergsteiger Garmisch: Bergsteiger Garmisch Location: Garmisch-Partenkirchen Name Translation: Garmisch Mountaineers Sponsor: BMW For Garmisch, I decided to use the Bergsteiger moniker since the area is a major ski resort in the Alps with the famous Zugspitze mountain used as a striping design. The logo comes from the coat of arms of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next we travel a little further north for Munich. Mönche München Location: Munich Name Translation: Munich Monks Sponsor: Siemens For Munich, I decided to use the monk from the city coat of arms as the basis for their branding. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpiranha Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Sweet! Did you try a version of the jersey that more matched the monk robe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 LOVE the heraldic feel to both of these concepts, JCR! The Munich Monks sweater is really striking. Would like to see Vegas Knights do something similar with an alt, using a big, bold heraldic pattern. Nice little project. Looking forward to the rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! It's been a lot of fun! Up next we head a little further north and west for Augsburg: Steinmänner Augsburg Location: Augsburg Name Translation: Ausgburg Stone Men Sponsor: KUKA For Augsburg, I used the the Stony Man, a life-sized stone figure on the eastern Augsburg city wall, as the basis for the team's name. It is considered good luck to touch the statue's nose. The colors and main logo come from the city coat of arms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Next we go up to Ingolstadt for the Monster... Monster Ingolstadt Location: Ingolstadt Name Translation: Ingolstadt Monsters Sponsor: Audi For Ingolstadt, I went with a very traditional look using the colors from the city's coat of arms. The team gets their name from both the monster on the coat of arms and the fact that Ingolstadt was the setting for Frankenstein by Mary Shelly where Victor Frankenstein created his monster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Cool project. The presentation is awesome - loving the (hand-drawn?) goaltenders! I know you didn't design it, but I really like that monk from Munich's coat of arms. Nice choice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHealthiestScratch Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I like the project! It’s always nice seeing your work around here. I think the goalie template is an upgrade on the idea that you had when presenting the college teams in your previous series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clever connection there! I love this project and I'm digging your goalies. All the logos feel pretty european in taste, not a simple thing to achieve. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomba Tomba Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I can just imagine this team switching to black and neon green (with Frankie as the logo) in the 90s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCRGraphix Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Up next is something a little different... Legio Castra Regia Location: Regensburg Name Translation: Castra Regia Legion Sponsor: Osram For Regensburg, I decided to go with the ancient Roman name of Castra Regina which was built for the Legio III in 179 AD. They also get their team name from the Legion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just used a random name generator to make a more realistic looking product. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCRGraphix Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 3 hours ago, NiagaraConcepts said: really cool vibe on Legio Castro Regina is Nuremberg next? Thanks, our last one is actually Baureuth... Walküre Bayreuth Location: Bayreuth Name Translation: Bayreuth Valkyries Sponsor: Stäubli For Bayreuth, my music nerd is showing. Bayreuth is famous for being the home of the composer Richard Wagner, whose most recognizable piece is ride of the Valkyries ("Kill the Rabbit"). The logo uses a strong Germanic letter with a Valkyrie wing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
