ColeJ Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 off the top of my head, since i'm not doing these in any particular order... i still need to do:dallas stars (incredibly hard to make a concept for your favorite team. nothing does them justice)columbus blue jackets (not sure what i'm going to do yet... probably play up the civil war theme, rather than the ambiguous flag/star they use now)buffalo sabres (expect more royal and a less retardedly adorned alternate. should be fairly easy to predict.)colorado avalanche (not sure what i'm doing here either. too many things that i need to figure out how to implement.)st. louis blues (killing the edge look for them, since it was huuuuge downgrade for them)atlanta thrashers (absolutely no idea what i'm going to do, but it's not going to be columbia blue.)carolina hurricanes (they look good as it is. minimal tweaks. should be boring.)philadelphia flyers (same as above. minor tweaks to fix what i don't like, but won't be anything groundbreaking)new jersey devils (home and road won't change. alternate won't be throwback inspired. other than that, i've got my work cut out for me.)

GMW79 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 columbus blue jackets (not sure what i'm going to do yet... probably play up the civil war theme, rather than the ambiguous flag/star they use now)It's not actually ambiguous. The flag is the Ohio state flag and reflects the unique, roughly triangular shape of that flag. Just sayin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin'. i'm more than aware of the flag of ohio.i just fail to see the correlation between that state flag being wrapped around a star having anything at all to do with the united states military circa 1861. if they were the columbus ohioans, then it would be a great logo.just has nothing to do with the team name like their other logos do.

You probably have seen me pimping this from a long time ago during the Double Minor days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 looks like it's being spun around in circles more than being raced into war, to me. either way, i promise i won't make the jackets ugly. i think they have some of the best edge-style uniforms in the league.also, damnit keebs... that was my plan all along, but now it seems like i'm just using your idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The green hornet (forget his name...Stinger?) was stupid, the CBJ was ugly. The flag looks good.(And I'm by no means trying to be nasty to ColeJ. I'm looking forward to what he comes up with for his concept.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkeyHouse Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Flag facing forward signifies going to war.Not mesessiarly 'war'. The American flag is worn with the union facing forward on Police uniforms and Firefighter uniforms as well as many other services like that. Other nations saw the Union facing back was a sign of weakness and the Americans retreating from battle. That concept carried over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 After another long wait, I present you with my concept for the greatest hockey team known to man. My Dallas Stars.This concept took a lot of thought and a lot of effort. A lot of scrapped ideas. I've always found it incredibly difficult to make a concept for my favorite teams... simply because every look in team history has a bit of nostalgia for me, so it's hard to decide which elements I'd like to put together in my own design. I know what I don't like about every Stars jersey ever, but I'm not sure I know what I do like about them all, other than that they're Stars jerseys.With this concept, I made a few noticeable tweaks. The first thing you'll probably notice is the shade of green I used. It's not exactly the same shade of Kelly green that the North Stars and 1993 Dallas Stars used, but it's pretty much halfway between that shade and the current green used by the Stars and Wild. I actually really like the overall look of the Stars white sweaters right now. The level of green and gold on there is perfect, and looks like modern day version of the North Stars, without biting any of their former designs in the process. It's far from perfect however, with the curved arm stripes and minimal waist stripes... I like the general look enough to use it as a base for my home and road, with an emphasis on green and gold, and black dropped to a tertiary (or even quaternary?) color. Basically, I drew inspiration from Team Canada in the Vancouver Olympics, with their solid red and white uniforms with black equipment. I think it's a way for Dallas to really stake claim as THE green team of the NHL, without going full-out head-to-toe green, which can look overwhelming in some cases (especially with brighter greens like the shade I chose). I also drew inspiration from the now-defunct Iowa Stars, who used gold numbers on their green sweater, rather than the customary white.The alternate jersey was inspired by the old London Knights black sweaters (Tavares-era) which were in-turn inspired by the 91-Cup-Run era Stars jerseys. The logo on this sweater was actually designed by a good friend of mine named Ken Chernoff. I made a few color tweaks and alterations to it, but the genesis of the entire logo design came from that man's mind. It's basically a Dallas version of the classic North Stars N-Star, with a D for Dallas. Rather than having the Star in the "northern" part of the logo, it's in the southwest corner of the D, also giving the logo a subtle boot-and-spur shape. It's pretty ingenious, so I made sure to ask him for permission so I could include it in my concept. Interestingly enough, I showed that very logo to Brett Hull about a year ago during a conversation about the Stars up-coming alternate jersey that he has had a hand in designing, and he was intrigued. He said that our future alternate jersey would be green and inspired by the North Stars aesthetic, but I haven't heard any word on what he plans to use as the logo... Ken said that he hasn't heard anything back from Brett on the design in a year, so we're hoping it's not going to turn into a Baltimore Ravens situation. Regardless, I think it's genius, and that's why I'm rambling on.Without further ado, here is my concept for the Dallas Stars, in all their Kelly-Green-Glory.

GMW79 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Beautiful. I do wonder, though, why the numbers on the home and away have black outlines but the sleeve and hem stripes don't include any black. They look good, but, well, symmetry... Still. Wow. These are nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 aaaand now the Buffalo Sabres.The home and road are the traditional Sabres uniforms, with traditional colors and traditional everything. Not the stupid modernized versions they wear now, that are the epitome of "over-designed". The colors are the shades used on their current third jersey. Royal blue and warm yellow.The third jersey is a more straight forward homage to the Buffalo Bisons, that their current thirds pay tribute to. I went with football-style shoulder stripes, like the Bison and Seals wore. I also killed all the contrast stitching and contrast nameplate tomfoolery that ruins their pretty awesomely unique alternate right now. Other than that, pretty straight forward, but still a well-deserved return to what they belong in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 The Sabres alternate is beautiful. I applaud the over the shoulder stripes the urge to resist the (in my opinion overrated) bottlecap logo. The Stars set is....good, but I think it can be better. The whole set looks washed out to me. I would suggest using the old Stars' kelly green and athletic gold. That, I think, would pop more.

Bmac Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 That Stars alternate is flat out nasty. In a good way. I love it! The Sabres look very nice, the alternate is pretty sweet. I absolutely love this series, one of my all-time favorites. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
