Saintsfan Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Okay guys, with everyone being busy and contests getting fewer and fewer entries, the saintsfan CHALLENGE is going to turn non competitive for a while. Basically periodically I will set the board a challenge and see what you guys can come up with! No voting, no winners you just do what you can! Hopefully people will be able to contribute something. For the first of these challenges, we return to expansion/ new team Turn back the clock. I give you a new team from one of the major leagues, you create a look for the specified time given. To begin withColumbus Blue Jackets (NHL) from the 1960s.have fun! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yh Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I haven't the programs or the ability to put together a concept, but if any willing party wants to take a crack at my thoughts on a concept, that would be great.Since it's the 60's we're dealing with, I'm thinking about a red sweater with "Columbus" descending in diagonal text, a'la the Rangers (and the original Pittsburgh Penguins') uniforms. The text would be block print in white outlined in navy blue. The sleeves and the bottom of the jersey would have a pair of white stripes (perhaps 2 inches thick) bordered on each side by thin strips of navy blue. For the white sweater I am envisioning a navy circular crest with red wishbone C outlined in white. A white ring outlined in red would encircle the crest with "Columbus" in navy arching within the top of the ring and "Blue Jackets" bowing in red within the bottom of the ring - again, kind of along the same format as the original Pens' logo. Striping format would be the same as the red jersey except red would replace white for the thick stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Okay people here is my shot. It is sort of similar in a way to what JHollander described, except I went for a blue jumper. The team is the Blue jackets after all! And I noticed that teams didnt really change logos on home and road unis back then so both have Columbus on the jersey.(C/P)http://uk.geocities.com/mark_gray74/bluejackets60s.jpg 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frylock Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Since I had some time at the computer today, I decided I'd toss my hat into the ring...Somewhere between Primal's lime concept and saintsfan's Rangers/Pens inspired concept, sits mine. My Blue Jackets 1960's concept is kind of inspired by sweaters I've seen of AHL and WHL teams from that same era. It's kind of conservative, but without being boring -- I hope! I've also modified the CBJ's "Inaugural Season" logo into an Ohio Ice Hockey patch, just for kicks...As always, template and resources courtesy Roger Clemente, and original Blue Jackets logo courtesy TheSLE.

Saintsfan Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 nice job frylock! I may at some point decide to throw this out as a vote, but for now concepts are just for kicks. Kind of a new way to get people doing stuff without the pressures of time, as everyone is busy! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rozilla74 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 I had time to play at work today. I like the idea of these Turn Back the Clock themes, especially for teams that haven't been around for a while. It's an interesting challenge.I researched some old sweaters and logos (not necessarily sports logos) from the 60s to inspire me. It's an homage to one of my favorite sports logos of all time, the Hartford Whalers. I really wanted a simple retro throwback look and used letters to form the mark.BlueJackets60s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rozilla74 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 Oops, sorry forgot to credit Roger Clemente. I modified one of his templates for the design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted September 24, 2003 Author Share Posted September 24, 2003 Thats great work Rozilla! I like the TBTC challenge coz its a good way to get creative. Sortof gives people themes and stuff to go on, but also enough space to be creative. So far everyone is jumping at the bait with this one! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rozilla74 Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Great retro look Mr. King. Reminds me of the old Maple Leafs sweaters from back then. Like the shield/medallion shape and font used a lot. Looks like a good turnout so far for this TBTC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
