Detroit Red Wings Concept

[vicfurth]

Hey, guys. I have created a Red Wings' concept while trying to stray slighty, mind you, from what they currently wear. Here it is...

There are some slight changes...

1) I added the x-line logo to the shoulders.

2) I changed the striping on the home ever-so-slightly.

3) I put the numbers in the sleeve stripes.

4) I added an alternate which is basically the road uni with the x-line logo on the crest with the primary on the shoulder.

I thought about added a second color into the mix (black or silver) but thought that it would take away from the unis instead of adding to it. I'd probably give myself a 7/10.

I like it.

Contrary to what the following 12 posts will say, I like changing the Red Wings. They may be classic, but yes, they CAN stand a little freshening.

i have to prove u wrong

these are a great improvement vic! i really could see the red wings using these. i dont think the traditionalists would mind either.

Every team makes at least minor changes to their uniforms as time goes on. Most of them aren't noticed by the average person but everyone needs a little change.

It's nothing earth-shattering... and yet I don't like it. The D doesn't stand out well on the shoulders (and, of all the X-Line logos, I like it the least), and I don't like the red numbers on the red sleeves within the white stripe. Other teams have done the numbers-in-sleeve thing, but usually use another colour other than the stripe colour or the colour of the sleeve (the Kings used silver, for example, on their Gretzky-era jerseys) or some striping to set it off. The Wings' monocolour look doesn't lend itself well to it.

(And, yeah, I like the current look, or at least the white jerseys. The reds are ok, but the whites just look sharp. But, I wouldn't be opposed to good changes.)

I'm just not a fan of the Detroit x-line, the idea is good, the mods aren't that blasphemous, it's good

[vicfurth]

I do realize it's an x-line, but the "D" looks old-school to me, at least. It's like a heritage alt. without being a heritage alt. (if you get what I mean).

In a way it is a retro-ish logo. Here is my comparison.

If ya ask me, its really a modified retro logo

i've been down this road before...breathe in, breathe out...the numbers seem like they're too low, actually. the D isn't that bad of an idea...now if them girls could only remember the name of my band

"But what about Discrim?"

[puckcool22]

i actually like these- i would like them more if the white jerseys were just a color flip of your red jerseys

Man I would buy one of those 3rd jerseys, which I find very sharp. I have always been a fan of the X-Line logos. Maybe the NHL should allow them to make logos for all the teams, I mean, they have some good ideas.

Its ok but Im not a fan of teh D either, perhaps they should use the original D taht was used in the old days as is used in Yzerfans Avitar that would look great on taht concept.

[ColeJ]

the numbers are pretty low on the arms... i'm not a fan of that. move the numbers above the arm stripe, and i'll like them more.

I sort of like the third jersey concept.

[jkrdevil]

I don't like the D becuase it has a silver outline which is random. Drop the silver out line and it would be fine, plus move the numbers up.

[Nick 1733]

OK, first off I think they look great.

second, what is the x-line, and where can i find the logos?

[vicfurth]

Here's the link to the x-lines (all done by joel_fiasco)...

Thanks for posting those x-line logos. I was having trouble trying to find good cuts of them.
