NHL Retro Cleanup - "The Pooh Bear" 2/3

[VampyrRabbit]

Would like to see the Preds jersey with the current sabretooth logo and the "Guitar Pick" secondary, just out of curiousity.

I think I'd rather see the metallic silver over the flat gray, though.

I was reluctant to replace the crest with the normal sabretooth logo, so instead I used another alternate logo from the Preds' old repertoire. I put the pick on the shoulders as requested, and added a little bit of beveling to the "NP" at the bottom of it. I also added the metallic striping, which I really should've had in there from the start.

 

Thoughts? I know that the actual sabretooth logo would probably look best, but I wanted to keep in line with the original jersey's use of an alternate logo as the crest.

Looks great with the skull logo on the chest and the picks on the shoulders, and the metalic striping is an upgrade. Good job.

That is a huge improvement over the original, but it still suffers from the same problem regarding the logo: the skull looks awful because I'm automatically drawn to the fact that it doesn't have eyes. It just looks off.

I think the biggest thing that needs to be fixed about the “Mustard” jersey is just that. Mustard. 
 

It always should have been bright yellow, similar to the shade they have today as their home sweaters. I mean that’s always been a part of the Preds color scheme, and why they didn’t use it for a third jersey is crazy…

 

I like all of the changes so far, other than keeping the mustard. I think making it the athletic gold would be a great update!

Moving on to yet another yellow jersey!

 

In 1995, the Boston Bruins joined the league's third jersey program with a bright yellow jersey and a crest featuring an oddly soft-looking bear. The jersey had a jagged, sublimated striping pattern on the arms, waist, and yoke, as well as a "BRUINS" wordmark on the shoulders.

 

Here's my cleanup, and here's my changelog:

• Removed the shoulder yoke to clean up the jersey
• Relegated the Pooh Bear to the shoulders to mirror the "Meth Bear"
• Changed the color scheme to yellow/brown instead of yellow/black

And that's that! My biggest gripe with this sweater is the crest, which is why I minimized its role. I really do like the striping pattern, and I think a yellow/brown scheme would be a nice change of pace for the B's.

I like the changes you made design wise but I think using black and brown would really balance this out; especially with how the Pooh Bear logo uses both colors.
