DTConcepts Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hey y'all, I've got a one-off concept for you today. With the NHL officially announcing the Seattle Kraken and Vegas Golden Knights as the teams for the 2024 Winter Classic, I decided to fire up Photoshop and try my hand at designing a jersey for each team. Let me know what you think: 4 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtgco Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Love the addition of an old-timey anchor for the Kraken! Part of me thinks that, the way you have it, it either should be a red shoulder patch (I guess the game patch would go on the stripes instead) OR the S logo should be blue so the two match better... but I do love the anchor in blue where it is. Any chance we could see this in white + double blue? Â The Knights jersey striping looks great, and the starburst on the pants is a nice touch! I like that you're going for that Minnesota Winter Classic look, but I'm not really feeling the crest/wordmark the way it's currently outlined. I'd want to shorten the V, put in gold with gray outline, and make everything else in un-outlined gray... And I'd consider arching the bottom text too. Â Anyways, good work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johne9109 Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 This is the first Vegas Winter Classic concept that I've seen that feels like it could be a possibility. It really does have a throwback feel to it while keeping the Knights identity. Great job 1 Quote  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTConcepts Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 Updates based on suggestions: Â - Changed the Kraken's color scheme, including the striping and the crest. I like the overall look of the red better, but this is definitely more in-line with their brand. - Slightly tweaked the Kraken's gloves to match the new colors. - Made changes to the Golden Knights' crest. It felt weird putting the word "GOLDEN" in grey lettering, so I kept the overall color scheme intact. I did put the lettering in a more circular formation, though. I also tweaked the stars on the sides of the crest and added flourishes to the 'V' to make the whole thing more Vegas-y. Â Thoughts? 2 Quote "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

vtgco Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The new Kraken look is excellent; the way the hem and collar match now is a nice little touch that goes a long way. The colors are quite nice this way too.  Your updated starbursts and more circularly-arched text are huge improvements for Vegas! The floral V is a bit odd in gray and gold but it'd work well tonally... Or you could replace them with the rivets and/or beveling effect that the team sometimes uses on their logo!

timberwolf Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I didn't even realize how similar our Kraken concepts were! Great minds think alike, haha. Â Both look fantastic. Love the Vegas spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
