spyboy1 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Ok, many thanks to Roger Clemente's make your own jersey project, I give you Project Fighting Saints!Here's the concept: What if the Minnesota Fighting Saints of the old WHA still existed? What might their uniforms now look like? Perhaps they would resemble or incorporate some of the features and patterns now currently in use.What I have done is taken each current NHL jersey and, using it as a template, converted it into the Fighting Saints colors of blue, yellow and white. In some cases a current jersey is a four color affair and I have allowed silver or black into the color scheme as a possible modernization.First up, the logos. Below are the main crest logo and the secondary logo. I did not replace the current teams secondaries with the Fighting Saints "S", but any place you see a current secondary, it would be replaced by the "S".I'll post the first five now and give you a chance to digest them. I will post the remander over the course of the next few days in this same thread to keep the board all neat and tidy so you can ignore my foolishness that much easier if you so choose.Now, onto the concepts...AvalancheBlackhawksBluejacketsBluesBruinsJeffB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stampman Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 So far the Blue Jackets works the best in terms of how the stripes match up with the logos and the colours (and might I suggest saving as png files-less colour distortion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodsep Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 To me it works best with the Canucks Template, without the Alternate. The Coyotes one looks like a Maple Leafs Jersey that someone slaped the Saints Logo on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of the project is "What if the Minnesota Fighting Saints of the old WHA still existed? What might their uniforms now look like?

Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. I do get what you were trying to do, but was still making a suggestion. Wow! I didn't realize you were trigger happy on the "cursing" emoticon.I do believe that like many other teams, their logo may have evolved over time, even so slightly (Oilers, Leafs...)And by stating thet their Logo is THE BEST, you are opening yourself up for criticism.I wouls also suggest (if I may) that you only post the ones you like the best, I think people stop reading very long threads after a while...my two cents...

spyboy1 Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Conclusion; I think my favorites were the Rangers white jersey, the Canadiens dark and the LA Kings Alt.Taking only one team as a whole, I thought the Wild was the best.Any that stood out to you guys?

Suigi Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 The Wild especially, because that's where the team was from, and would still be playing.Good work on all the jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
