Scot Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Had the idea a few weeks ago to spell city and team names using the players of their respective teams. I’m open to suggestions for new designs, so feel free to post team ideas and I’ll add them to my list. I'll be doing all of the 32 teams (and a few defuncts.) Edmonton Oilers. City Name: Ottawa Senators. City Name: Québec Nordiques. Team Name: Toronto Maples Leafs. Team Name: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtgco Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 The idea is pretty straightforward, and I'd say that you've done the idea justice... (though I admit I'm not familiar enough with the NHL to recognize any of the players) If I had to come up with any suggestions, maybe I'd suggest rotating the scraps around a bit and/or using the font that's the most different (e.g. the styling of Tampa Bay's "B", the font of Edmonton's "T") for the first letter... Or maybe that's unnecessary. I'd be curious how you'd attempt to do Vancouver; that'd be a challenge, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works well with Tampa, because their jersey fonts have been so stylized over the years. Especially in the 90’s (B.) Otherwise, with teams like Montréal, Edmonton and Chicago, fonts are fairly similar across all the jerseys (home/away, etc.) Vancouver has a good range of colour schemes. I’ll add it to the list.
