habsfan1 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Giving them a barberpole look from the early days of hockey. I replaced the red with brown since brown back then was like the powder blue of today.This one is based on the aesthetics from the early 1980s. Keep that in mind as I'm aware that this would not go over well today. Gone are all traces of the Wild's beige color and all secondary logos.

Quillz Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I really like your early "barber pole" sweaters.You should try making their primary logo (which I love, BTW) look "old," you know, make it look like something first designed in the 1920s or w/e.

I also like your barberpole look. I've been working on a pseudo-throwback logo for the Wild, I was going to do a winter classic set for them. Would you mind if I posted the logo here? You'd be free to use it as is or as just an example. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrosby Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I'll start off with the 80's set. It's bright, it's bold, it only needs a time traveling phonebooth and two most excellent time travelers to finish it off. I'd like to see a 90's set, maybe something along the lines of the Ducks miserable alt. from way back when. Some trees along the bottom hem, a shooting star and numbers in the moon, go crazy. I think if you're looking to do a time warp you should go as stereotypical as possible with the eras, so for the 90s you're going to need something that might inspire vomit while at the same time becoming an instantly recognizable piece of hockey history. Anyways, here's the rough idea I had for a Wild throwback. Do with it what you will. https://twitter.com/OutOfThisWC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks alot, it looks even better now...I'd like to see a 90's set, maybe something along the lines of the Ducks miserable alt. from way back when.

I've already designed one some time ago! This is what I came up with. I didn't go WildWing crazy over it though, it's more around the lines of a team like Phoenix Coyotes, with a sketched land design at the hem.

Bmac Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I'm really diggin these. The barberpole is awesome! The colors work very well together, great job. The 80's jerseys seem very...80's. I can't say I love them, but you certainely did a great job of fitting the era. Nice job on these. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianVlietDesign Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I like the look of both of these uniforms. But, the barberpole jersey looks way too dark for my taste. Your North Stars/Wild look is great, though. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 What you've done is pretty cool. Like others have said, the barberpole jersey looks a little too dark. The 80s jerseys are fantastic. Reminds me a lot of the North Stars with the yellow and green you used. And the 90s jersey is also something I could see being used at the time. It's not too over the top like some of the alternates, but it's different enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spamspamspamspam Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I think for the 80's style, you should have a logo reflective of that period. I'm thinking either a full bear/wolverine, or a cheesy W made into a claw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing, it needs an eye, and to really make it relfective of the period, I'd try and get rid of the trees. I can't really think of any other way to keep the same basic shape of the logo and make it 80's style, but I'm sure there's ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Pretty good all around, but I think the 20s style jersey should say something along the lines of "St. Paul Wild" or "Wild Hockey Club." Teams didn't identify themselves by their state until the Twins came along in the 60s... hence we had the Minneapolis Lakers and not the Minnesota Lakers.

Maybe put some stars inside the M to tie it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bohob Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 So Dallas got the North Stars, and Minnesota got the Mooterus?Part of the divorce settlement. Anyways, I think the main issue with the logo is the choppiness. Also, I think you are going for the bear paw, but it look like a duck's foot. I'd study a bear paw more, or take the easy route and put some cheesy slash marks over an over-stylized M or W.EDIT: Love the barberpole!

habsfan1 Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Yet another update to try to make a fine 80s looking Minnesota Wild crest. I think the 3rd time's the charm.I was unable to think of a clever enough idea that I would then reproduce on screen, so I just made the current logo alot more vintage looking.
