Steve Yzerman's NHL: Dallas Stars

Recommended Posts

No secret I loved the original blue and white Lightning set. I think with some tweaks, my team might be one of the best looking in the league.

Anywho, I thought it would be fun to piss everyone off and make some more teams Yzermanized. Just say that word out loud. It's fun. I might do teams from all over time, but I wanted to do some teams that are more modern. I thought it would be kinda fun, and I could work on my logo skills.

San Jose Sharks

No doubt I was going to use aqua. They were my first choice in doing this. I used to really like the current set, but now I keep finding things wrong with it. I love the simple design, and orange. I just used to like them more. The logo does look robotronic, and I'm not a fan of the full body shark either. So I wanted to simplify the logo, design and color wise.

I actually start backwards. Script, alternate, then primary. But I found a font, customized it, and moved on. The alt is an updated fin logo, and it looks like the one I sketched. Love it when that happens. Then the primary got me. I retraced the shark, and changed it up. I got rid of the stick because, you don't do that to your stick! It took me forever to get everything right, I didnt have the white highlight and tried doing things like that, but I ended up just reusing the one from the current primary.

The jersey. They need to be simple. So I did it. Two stripes like the 2008 Canada jersey, that was what I based it off. One major thing... WHITE PANTS. I wanted aqua. But I didn't want to go overboard. So I did something completely stupid, and never worn on the ice. Well, officially. Everything else is by the book. I did put front numbers, but that's the only crazy thing I did with the rest of the uniform.

Next, might be the Kings. Maybe the Blue Jackets. But I'm open to suggestions.

Dark jersey wouldn't have white pants. Other than that, this is already an awesome series, after just one team. Can't wait for more. Blue Jackets next, please.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

1. I find the name and idea of this thread hilarious. It's gonna be fun seeing you oversimplify every team. grinning.gif

2. This is actually a really good concept. Love the choice of colour. But a) I think that the triangle had some sort of meaning behind it (the Red Triangle???), so it might be better off being in a triangle. b ) NO white hockey pants. EVER.

In an NHL when teams can afford to replace breezer-coverings on a regular basis, I have no complaints about the white pants. In an over-simplified world, I think it's a reasonable possibility.

The idea for this series is good, and I like your first concept.

My thinking was that, since it isn't a normal color instead of monochrome aqua, I just went with white to make it break up the non sense. If anyone wants to do an action shot, feel free. If they were off white, you guys would be so happy with me, though.

Not sure if I'm going to do EVERY team, but there is a good number of teams I have ideas for.

Moving on, but still comment on the Sharks.

Los Angeles Kings

I've always thought that the crown logo was overcluttered. Then they release the new set and it is such a step down logo wise. To me, the Kings never have really had a logo set that I truly love. I went out to work on that stat. Just like the Sharks and Lightning, I had to make it simple and bold.

Instead of making a logo from scratch, I thought the crown's shape was just what I wanted. It was just how I'd use it. I changed the points, even though it all looks slightly the same. Instead of circles, I used diamonds. I thought it looked more like jewels. I just went with what will get the look across that it is a crown, without being too out there with it. Simplicity is the key. I needed an alt, so i just went with the shape they used for a time with a similar color scheme. I also introduced a new script. The same is found on the numbers, which you will see.

On the jerseys, I've had this idea the whole time. The Habs' look is great, and could be used again. With this, it makes the logo pop out, and the white's contrast on black makes the look sharp. I DID decide on monochrome for this one, so calm down. The white is just a white version of the home, so nothing crazy.

Not going to lie, these two have been some of my favorite logos I've ever done. I want to do some more. I have the Stars, Wild, Panthers, and Blue Jackets in mind. I'm not sure how many I will do, but I have some ideas for them.

Here is the comparison.

Wow. These are near-perfect. The only edit I would make is to move the stripes that intersect the back numbers and the crest is to move them just bellow the logo and numbers, but just don't contour them to the hem line (ala your sharks' stripes), leave them straight.

Amazing work, brilliant thread idea.

1. The league is going to look kind of boring if all the teams are two colors only.

Fixed and That's not the point, the point is to try and create good designs while imposing heavy restrictions upon yourself - AKA the Jack White theory. The White Stripes only had three sounds at one time - vocals, drums and guitar - (until icky thump, when they stopped doing that as much) and they only wore three colors - red, white and black - (including their equipment and album covers)

Sometimes rather than thinking completely outside the box to try and be creative, you have to put yourself in the smallest box possible and demand creativity in spite of it.
