habsfan1 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Needs work. Try making the octopus a little bit bigger. I would either remove the waist stripe or make it consistent with the arms.This idea could be good, but like I said, it needs work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 -Remove the "Detroit Red Wings" from the hem - we all know what the team is called.-Add sleeve numbers.-Make the back number bigger.-Make the octopus bigger.-Work in a little more purple - not a ton, but just some touches here and there.

YessSir32 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Nice. Are you doing these for all sports? I would love to see a Detroit Tigers alternate. Detroit Falcons (NABL) | Detroit Gears (UFL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It's better, but the numbers should be above the stripes, and I still think the back number is too small. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evanmaldonado Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm sorry, but both of these are pretty bad. The Detroit logo is too childish, and the Purple comes out of nowhere. The logo on the Canadiens is too Maple Leafs, and would have the potential to not even be seen depending on the way the player tucks the jersey.

wILL-INI Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 I'm sorry, but both of these are pretty bad. The Detroit logo is too childish, and the Purple comes out of nowhere. The logo on the Canadiens is too Maple Leafs, and would have the potential to not even be seen depending on the way the player tucks the jersey.I'll second that. Not to mention the red wings octopus looks like bad clip art, the logo is def not meant for a jersey. and the Canadians, the front and back script with the numbers above the stripe? It looks like a bad nba jersey from the 80's.. See the atlanta hawks "Classic" does not mean it gets a free pass for being bad design.Portfolio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xTr1pleXx Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Two things:1.) Very few NHL teams have their team name anywhere on the uniform, especially not in the form you've used for the the Red Wings and Canadiens. The closest I can think of are the Kings putting "Los Angeles" in the hem stripe. Unless you're using the script as the centerpiece of the design, like the Stars or Canucks have, leave off the team name completely.2.) NHL uniform numbers have to be of a certain size, and they're almost always in the exact same position. Both designs basically violate NHL uniform rules, as the Wings' numbers are far too small, and the Canadiens' numbers are down way too low. With numbers down that low, they'd often be partially obscured by the jersey riding up on the pants the player is wearing. There's a big reason why teams never have their numbers down that low, where the hem stripes would normally be.Basically, when you're creating NHL uniforms, follow the conventions you see across that league. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameroncrazie07 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Not an awful job from what I expected from you. The Canadiens one looks decent except for the "Montreal" on the back. It just looks wierd and out of place. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameroncrazie07 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Yeah also I could never see Detroit wearing that, way to childish as stated above. The Montreal maybe, but Detroit is a no. The Core 4 Sports Podcast Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the octopus cartoon logo. And your Canadiens edit still doesn't address the issue that the logo is still located too far down on the jersey. Maybe put it over the stripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
