DasNordlicht91 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 While the idea of a Kitchener-based NHL team is nothing more but a pipe dream, I've seemed keen to the idea of a team based on the area, and as such, here's a set of home & road uniforms, plus an alternate uniform for an NHL team from Kitchener (that currently has no name, yet.).(NOTE: Player names are placeholder names for the purposes of this concept.)Thoughts and ideas for improvement welcomed, please & thanks.

Hathaway Browne Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Nice job so far. The Kitchener wording on the third is a little dark against the blue, perhaps a little more of the cream outline might help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 This feels more like a Winnipeg Jets concept with the stencil type and military imagery. You're halfway to a pretty good Winnipeg Jets concept, though. Double-stroked stencil numbering defies logic, I'm pretty sure. If you want to commit to that style of numerals, it's single-layer or nothing. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 What is this insistence with putting stars on uniforms? The five-point star is far too overused by different national flags, so that, to me is cause for confusion. Besides that fact, the Dallas Stars already exist in the NHL.

DasNordlicht91 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 UPDATE 1.0 -- Removed stars from alternate and de-stencilized the number fonts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's very Winnipeg Jetty. I also don't think it's too far out of the realm of possibility either. Hamilton and North Toronto are always talked about, but if a team was placed in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Guelph-Cambridge area, I think it would work better. The metro area alone is over 500,000, plus the outskirts of the GTA, London and other communities that are less than an hour away (as long as it's not rush-hour on the 401). It's centrally located, far enough away from the GTA, but close enough to draw people. Also alot of corporate support based there (RIM). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perfect Zero Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The problem that I have is that you don't have a name for the team. It's hard to make a concept for a team that doesn't have a nickname (unless you're going the soccer route, but still...). Think of a name and then base your concept around that, and you'll have something a lot stronger. Right now, it's as if the Rangers and Jets made sweet love and created this concept.

GFB Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The "Captain America" helmet wings look really strange when paired with the maple leaf crest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNordlicht91 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 UPDATE 2.0 -- A very dramatic update here (it's in it's rough stages), as I've basically overhauled the homes and roads with new colours to match the Kitchener city flag. Gone are the stencil nameplates and gone are the "Captain America" wings. It's not complete yet (the logo is still a work in progress), but I wanted to give a rough outline on what the new sets are.The flag of Kitchener, Ontario (for reference on the team's new colours)Set 1Set 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerslionspistonshabs Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Now the logo is just a Leafs rip off. Colors are nice, but they need an identity. It just looks like a cross between the Leafs and Jets. They should definately go with a wildlife name. No team in The Great White North has an animal for it's name. Just saying...

DasNordlicht91 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 A new name has been decided, and I've opted with the Kitchener Peregrines. The wordmark is above. Logo and jerseys are in progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The green and white look is definitely the way to go. A suggestion for the logo though. Lose the maple leaf.

DasNordlicht91 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 UPDATE 3.0 -- Removed the "Maple Leaf" logo, and brought back the shoulder wings, since it fits with the current logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchey13 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I love the colour scheme, but the logo could definitely use some work.Once you nail that down, you would have a beautiful identity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkychewbarky Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The logo still needs work, Das, but...You've got a nice colour scheme happening,and,your first helmet logo has a "falcon" feel to it.I think that the K-W region would be a great location and it's outside of the Leafs and Sabres legal territory isn't it?You'd be drawing from K-W, Guelph, Cambridge, London, Hamilton, and the western GTA, as tiger already mentioned. *The Battle of Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasNordlicht91 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Update 3.5 - Fixed up the previous alternates, and made it fit the new team colours. The gold/cream trimming becomes the primary colour in this sweater, with the dark & light green as secondary colours.EDIT: Added a slight variation, with the white striping removed.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Color scheme is great, but the primary logo and font need work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
