Washington Caps Concept

[Chief.]

Added red and silver, kept the gold, changed to navy, and added a different alternate logo just from their word mark.

Not too sure about the C from the wordmark going as a new alt logo. It looks more suited for placement on the left chest to designate a captain. I like the recolouring of the primary logo, but the gold and "pink" (on the tongue) are extremely minor on the bird, so I don't really see a place for those hues on the jerseys.

Overall, this is a good start, but I think you can take it further.

EDIT - I think I might be seeing things....the lines on the sleeves only look pink-ish to me...

Chief, you're a machine. You keep cranking the concepts out. Take a break, eh ? you're making the rest of us look bad. :D

This one, with the red, the blue and the bronze, it's creeping into Edmonton Oilers territory. And I have to agree on the secondary logo; that C has got nothing on their current secondary (the Capitol one), which I personally prefer to the eagle.

And if we're redoing the Capitals, I think we should make the striping patterns consistent between the two jerseys. But that's just me.

You got too many colors goin on so you need to simplify some. I wouldn't recomment having gold and silver in the same concept. Also the C logo would be way too confusing with the captain C as well.

I agree with all Chazberg's comments, especially the not having gold and sliver at the same time. The "C" by itself isn't a good idea for a hockey jersey. Perhaps if it were contained in a sillouette of the Capital Dome or something to make it looks less like a captian's c.

One additonal thing, the dark blue eagle on the dark blue jersey all but disappears when only outlined in red. It's just not enough contrast. I preach this all the time you guys! Squint a little and all you can see is the white part of the eagle's head, some claw and the stars. I would outline the red trim with another layer of white to make that bird pop from the background, not fade into it.

If you want to use that C, go ahead and make it the captain's C. And since there's an A in "Capitals", there's your assistant's A. Like what the Flames did with the flaming (Calgary) C for captain, and the flaming (Atlanta) A for assistant. (Although they stopped using the Flaming C for captain... why? )

Silver and bronze is a lot of metallic color for one jersey. Either one would work alone, but not together, unless you're trying to put together an Olympic medals stand.

I'm also on the bandwagon of the uniformity people - two stripes patterns makes no sense. I liked the "check mark" style on the whites, but the other pattern was a concession when they went to those hideous black alts with the Capitol on the crest, since there was no longer a logo conveying motion like the flying eagle.

Simplify, and you're gonna have something decent...

IIRC the main reason was that when they started wearing the horsehad jerseys, they put the flaming C on the shoulders-it would have been too confusing, like this concept. not sure why they don't have it on their whites or reds now.

now to the concept...this is a decent start. I'd make a DC shoulder logo if you really wanna go that route, instead of just a C. also, I'd make a decision on a metallic-either bronze or silver. having both doesn't really work in this case, especially on the home striping and the logo. the silver stars don't seem to be related to anything else, so I'd dump it and go with bronze.
