sparkychewbarky Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Ya know what nash?...I was originally going to go with a lion mascot, but Ottawa, (with their lame Roman senator theme) already use a lion.Maybe he could be an unofficial mascot; just kind of hangin' around the rink. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody21 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Is the lion on the t-shirt an official mascot for the Highlanders? I think he'd be a good replacement for Thistlehead.Ya know what nash?...I was originally going to go with a lion mascot, but Ottawa, (with their lame Roman senator theme) already use a lion.Maybe he could be an unofficial mascot; just kind of hangin' around the rink.thats too bad. he looks awesome. In the last game against Detroit, the time from ten minutes left to one minute left was probably the longest nine minutes of my life. But from one to zero was probably the greatest time I've ever had. I didn't want the clock to run out. It was such a great feeling: people crying in the stands, people jumping up and down, people cheering. Guys couldn't even sit up on the bench. It was probably the best minute of my life.Ah, the "I'm kidding" - the universal internet excuse for saying something that others perceived as dumb.

leggman01 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 my ONLY critique is that in the detailed version of the lion the "fur" around the face looks a bit more like feathers than fur...the silhoutted simplified versions are great, and i like the shading and detail everywhere except for around the face - this is an absolutely beautiful conceptand i vote heather as mascot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkychewbarky Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 These look nice, but are very busy by NHL standards. They could use some simplification..Agreed. When I try to put the crosses on the front or shoulders, it looks busy.I don't need "Halifax" across the front either, as you and dawg have mentioned. So, the logo stands alone, and I've altered the "HHC" shoulder patch to include the golden outlined cross.For the reason of trying to make the sweater unique, I'm keeping it on the lower back...for now.Thanks guys *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive got a idea! How about you take the X and place it on the arms under neath the shield with the lion on it? That would look amazing!

sparkychewbarky Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Music would be a big part of the Highlanders home game experienceThe usual 'arena-rock' would be accompanied with some great celtic tracks, in keeping with the theme...Furious, foot-stomping jigs and reels, and sing-a-long ballads and anthems.It would be a hockey game and a ceilidh all in one.Check this out for a feel of what the atmosphere might be like.Let it simmer...a couple of great riffs kick in at the :58 sec. and 2 min. marks.It's an old clip, so there's a few mullets. The music at the MacArena could be marketed in compilation disks.I've done this as a spin-off of the old Arena Rock CDs. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GambinoIsAMastermind Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I love how you took the concept to the next level, as if you were pitching it to the league to be the next expansion franchise. Everything is extremely well done. I know if I was Bettman I'd approve this. Took the g out ya waffle, all you got left is your ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henburg Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 This is a really cool, realistic concept. As others have said, I think that the jerseys could use a little bit of work. I really like all of the logos that you have created so I wouldn't change anything about them. However, I think that the cross on the back would look better on the sleeves. Also, adding some more red could help as well. Last, I think a new, more Celtic number would improve it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 The execution is terrific, but my gripe remains that I feel there's a Maritime culture altogether separate from Scottish culture, and it would be better to play up the former than the latter. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
