StevenGrant94 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I really like the striping for Minnesota, but I like their current colours better.Winnipeg is very unique but I dont think the jet-trail or arm striping work very well. stevengrantdesign.blogspot.com - Twitter: @StevenGrant94 - Instagram: @stevengrant94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why did you remove the "H" from the Canadiens' logo? PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why did you remove the "H" from the Canadiens' logo?Because their team name is the Canadiens, not the Habitants. I've never understood why the "H" was ever there in the first place.I tried various methods of replacing the "H" with an "M" for Montreal - even experimenting with a Whalers-esque negative space M that also worked in the H... but I couldn't get it to look quite right. Then I tried using just a cleaned-up version of the C, and liked how it looked. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stands for hockey, as in the team's official name "le Club de hockey Canadien". | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yep. The idea that the "H" stands for "Habitants" is just an urban legend. As Still MIGHTY said, the "H" stands for "hockey." Their 1912-17 logo used an A instead of an H because, at the time, the team's official name was le Club Athletique Canadien.http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=6385 PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ah, I didn't know that. You learn something new every day, I suppose... also doesn't help that I'm not a huge hockey fan (which is part of the challenge involved in doing this series for me).That being said, the fact that the "H" stands for "hockey" doesn't change my opinion on its uselessness. We know they play hockey. It'd be like the Yankees having an "NYB" logo on their uniforms. Yes, we get it, they're a New York-based team that plays baseball, we can see them playing it. It's the same reason why I can't stand the trend of "Baseball Club" and "Hockey Club" roundels. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You learn something new every day, I suppose... also doesn't help that I'm not a huge hockey fan (which is part of the challenge involved in doing this series for me).No worries. Many hockey fans assume the H stands for "Habs." Also, while I may not like some of your design choices here, they're certainly unique and refreshing. Sometimes you need an outsider to present a different take on things, to mix it up from time to time.

Yes, we get it, they're a New York-based team that plays baseball, we can see them playing it. It's the same reason why I can't stand the trend of "Baseball Club" and "Hockey Club" roundels.Well the thing is, they didn't just add the H for hockey because they play hockey. The team's official, legal name is the "le Club de hockey Canadien." As far as I know a lot of the teams that add the "hockey/baseball club" element to their logos don't actually include those words in their team's official name. The Canadiens, however, do.

Morgan33 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Big fan of the Jets Concept. I particularly like how the Contrail forms the striping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Loving the series in general. Nice to see some creativity for sure. I personally don't agree with some of your design choices (from a "what if they actually used this" standpoint), but I love seeing these ideas. Anaheim looks great, though I would have gone with a triple number outline, white/black/yellow on the home for example. Also I love that logo. The Sharks look sweet, I love those sleeve stripes. Not sold on the straight hem stripes, but overall it looks nice. And that alternate is insane, in a good way.But the Wild are my favorite (team and concept haha). Again, I wouldn't want them to do this in real life, mostly because I don't want to see the current colors disappear. However, this concept is incredible. The overall jersey design is perfect, and the color balance you achieved is wonderful.Please do continue to post these concepts, I'm loving the creativity here. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 The Wild look great. Really nice concept.I love the idea for the Jets, but it's just not working for me. The path leading into the plane looks really forced.For the Canadians, I understand thinking that the H is worthless, but it really take a lot of character out of the logo and makes it look rather generic. Hate to say, I think this one is a downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuet Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wild (with some white), Sharks and Lightning (with some white) are super. These are my favorites here.The Preds also with some changes, would look awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 I feel like white would just vibrate visually with the light green and hurt people's eyes though. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan33 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Wow... that looks awesome! I would never want to see the devils replace their classic uniforms with it but on it's own this is a really visually appealing and creative peice of work.

ninersdd Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Kinda getting a Padres vibe from it. Also it's very close the German flag on the hem. It's definitely different, and for that I like it. It's especially good when it's out of the box and you clearly put a lot of work and thought into it. Maybe you could do defunct teams like the Seals, Nords, or Thrashers.

DasNordlicht91 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 While the Devils concept jerseys seem like something easily to cry foul about, I, um, well.....they are pleasing to the eye, to say the least, and they're rather well done. Kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
