AHL Concept - Atlantic City Flyers

[JQK]

As most already know, the Spectrum in Philadelphia is being demolished after this season for the Philadelphia Phantoms of the American Hockey League, leaving them without a home. One of the rumored destinations for the franchise is Atlantic City, NJ. Atlantic City has a heavy Philadelphia sports fan base, and is a short trip from the city itself. Because of this, and with AC's history of poorly supporting local teams, i decided to connect the AHL teams identity more closely with it's NHL parent in an effort to get the Philadelphia sports fan in AC to support the club. So, anyways here's my concept.

This is sweet! How about the team relocating to Indy! Yes, I know I'm dreaming...

That's a great idea for a logo; I would never have thought to try and switch the letters because of how well the 'P' was placed in the original.

One criticism I do have for it, though, is that it appears unbalanced. It's too tall and wide right now to work properly.

Very nicely executed, although it kind of reminds me of the Quad City Flames logo (except it feels much less lazy).

Damn it... looking at it, it's almost dead-on for the QC Flames...

Damn....

Kansas City Flyers.....

Well if you put a team in Kansas City, I'd name it the Blades.

BEAUTIFUL!

Great logo on a classic design!

Bad to the bone idea (good), but I'd change up the logo. I bet it'd be really wild if you did the same sort of thing with "AC" and the wings, but rather than having the see drooping down at the bottom if you made it slightly smaller and coming off the "A" a big higher up. I'd have to throw together a rough concept to show you what I mean. Really nice work though, mate.

I do really like this logo... Kind of has a unique feel to it.... I certainly wouldn't compare it to Quad City - the flames logo is just weak. Nicely done!!!

Well put together Concept, jersey design kinda dull but the logo is Wonderful, maybe give something abit more to the jersey.

Love it!!!

Something just doesn't seem right with that logo. While it's a great concept, it just looks really awkward. My recommendation is to do the AC next to each other, with the bottom right of the A blending seamlessly into the C, and a small gap between the top of the A and the C (so it's one piece, not two separate letters.) Then put four wings on the A, and keep the orange puck in the C like you have now. I think it would tie into the parent club a little better, and look better on the jersey.

I would love for a hockey team to come back to AC, and this logo would definately be a great choice. It looks balanced, and it surprisingly looks good for such a unique variation on the Flyers logo. Good job, I like it.

like this?

Much less Quad Cities on the second one, ergo, much better. Could you skew it a little bit, though? Also, is it possible to keep the Phantoms purple in there as a trim color? Just so they're not exactly the Flyers.

Maybe everything that dies someday comes back.

This logo looks great as well as the uniforms. Any thought in making a black jersey?

No.

[BBTV]

Yes, I think that is better. I'm not sure if this will improve it, but have you thought about making the A more slanted on the left, and straight vertical on the right? It may make it worse, but I think that at least the left side of the A needs more of an angle - at least the same angle that the Flyers' P has.

Also - the orange "puck" should have a thicker white outline.

For the jerseys, I'd modify the sleeve slightly so that the body color doesn't extend all the way to the wrist. Maybe go with a black cuff like the last set had, or wrap the sleeve stripe around the wrist.
