And do the alternates' patches really read "Panthers" while the captain's patches read "Florida"? That's really kinda not smart if that's the case. Nah...they were just showing what the captain/alternate patches looked like above the secondary logo. The Florida one's on the red jerseys, Panthers one's on the whites.

Technically you can...though admittedly NFL blanks tend to be extremely hard to find unless you stumble upon them. OTOH, if you don't mind DIY'ing, wholesalers are pretty easy to find.

The_Admiral Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 xth Man doesn't really work for hockey, in my opinion, because while there are six players on the ice at full strength, the fact that they're coming and going on the fly kind of makes all of them the 7th through 20th men in a way that I wouldn't think of for the other team sports, yet calling the fans "the 21st man" doesn't feel right, either. The Bears under Lovie Smith tried "the fourth phase," which didn't quite take. Of course, nor did "orange swarm" for their alternate jerseys; sloganeering was never his strong suit, after all. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue jackets “5th line” I think is probably the best of the options. I mean there is t a 5th line but the fans energy can swing momentum for a team like a fresh line coming onto the ice to score a goal, winning a fight, ect.

It's also tricky because even though there are 6 players on the ice for each team, even strength hockey is referred to as 5-on-5. Goalies aren't really counted, but when a goalie is pulled it is referred to as 6-on-5/6-on-4/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtgco Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Forgive me if people already have seen this, or if this isn't legit, but I thought this might interest folks: IMO, that flat squid + anchor mark with the full "SEATTLE" text (second column from the left, third from the top of the sketches) is by far the best Kraken concept *that actually shows a full cephalopod* that I've seen, but I'm glad they didn't go the route of showing it. These flat san-serif S + anchor logos, both with (just above the bottom left of the sketches) and without (top row of the vectorized ones) the Space Needle, are quite nice and would be excellent primary logos in their own rights! Don't like the mascot drawing though... Reminds me why I don't like the Kraken name in the first place (Also I imagine that by "when," OP means "if" in that last part... Nothing in the works for the Sounders, AFAIK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Yeesh. I'm glad the Kraken didn't go with any of those concepts. They're not bad in their own right, but what we got is so much better. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and that S shield with the tentacles or the SK anchor/tentacle could be phenomenal for a fauxback design. Also seems like the Space Needle/anchor was a common logo design point through the brand's development process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because it is! http://www.kylermartz.com/about He's also done some cool murals/signs for shops and restaurants around town. Anyways, it's a cool, maritime-y aesthetic that'd be unique in the sports world AFAIK... and it also interplays well with a '20s/Metropolitans vibe too (especially that Art Deco S + Needle + Anchor logo)!

It's certainly not intentional, and the designer - like me - probably wasn't aware of the black sun symbol, but it's certainly close enough that it's one of those things that would be pointed out right away and cause the logo to be immediately dropped. If you're familiar with the symbol, I'm not sure how you can't see it in that logo.

Of course they wouldn’t go with it as a final design, just like whenever they find an accidental swastika in something. But this isn’t even that bad. Some modifications and the addition of color would squash that; an octopus with 8 hockey sticks is a really cool idea in the end.
